* GreaterScopeVillain: Of the Elder Scrolls books; the whole reason the plot occurs is because of Vivec keeping Baar Dau in place to essentially hold the Dunmer hostage over his divinity, then disappearing without bothering to account for the rock.

** Interestingly, individual religions have generally-strict interpretations of how they view the Divines, in a manner akin to the Hellenistic Greek or Roman pantheons. However, because every Aedra (as well as other et'Ada) embody many different aspects of the natural laws of Mundus, and in many cases these aspects have their own distinct personas and personalities (e.g. the dichotomy between Akatosh, Auri-El, and Alduin), they actually function like the numerous gods of the Hindu pantheon. For example, the Imperial, Elven, and old Nord versions of the Divines are all worshipping the same beings, while each religion's pantheon are ''also'' their own distinct components of those Divines. The elven Auri-el, the Imperial Akatosh, and the Nord Alduin are all part of the same Divine but are each separate pieces of that Divine. Another clear example of this is Stendarr and Stuhn (covered below) with the latter being a very specific aspect of the former, specific to the Nord pantheon and the concept of [[OddJobGods showing mercy to enemies in battle to get ransom]].

* PowerFloats: Nowhere near as consistently as Vivec, but Almalexia does like to hover a little above the ground.

* TheRashomon: The accounts of the days leading up to their ascension (as well as the disappearance of the Dwemer and Nerevar's death) conflict greatly. The official stance of the Tribunal Temple, the Dissident Priests, the Ashlanders, Dagoth Ur, Vivec, and Azura all recount it differently. What is known for sure is that Nerevar died at Red Mountain and that, sometime after, the Tribunal ascended to godhood against the wishes of Azura.

What is known for sure The only things everybody agrees on is that the Dwemer and Chimer fought, the Dwemer are now gone, Nerevar died at Red Mountain shortly afterward, and that, sometime after, the Tribunal ascended to godhood sometime after, against the wishes of Azura.
