The mer are not jealous of human gods. We are the most gifted mages in all of nirn and if we wanted to, we could possibly communicate directly with the divines without going to a temple or shrine. If we wanted too, we could possibly create a ninth divine. And torok, it's about time I find a fellow elven supporter around here.
I am surprised that this thread has not attracted much attention, when you consider that this is really just another excuse for race bashing.
