Gods The gods of Tamriel are as varied as the many cultures' traditions of worship. Individual gods (used as a general term to indicate any entity worshipped by one of Tamriel's cultures) are listed alphabetically on each of the sub-articles listed above. This article provides some general information about relationships between the different gods. Types of Gods Generally, there are several distinct groups into which the various gods fall: Many versions of Anu and Padomay, the two primal forces. Cultural Worship In Tamriel, cultural pantheons of certain provinces have different gods that they worship, though some gods are worshipped in several areas. Pantheons This table contains all names of beings worshipped by the nine major races in Tamriel. Little is known about the culture of Black Marsh, and therefore no gods are listed from that region. Finally, Orsimer gods are not listed as they don't have a specific province, but instead a kingdom in the High Rock - Orsinium. Notes See Also

272 Calendar [edit] Months of the Year The Tamrielic calendar is composed of twelve distinct months, each approximately thirty days in length. Each month corresponds roughly to an equal period of time in the Gregorian calendar. The months - and their real-life equivalents - are measured as follows: * These three months are variously referred to as one word or two words. § Hearthfire is occasionally referred to as Heartfire, the name given to said month in TES:Arena. [edit] Days of the Week A week in the Tamrielic calendar is also, as with the real-life equivalent, measured in seven days. The names of the days Tirdas, Turdas, Fredas and Loredas may be derived from the Norwegian, Danish or Swedish names for days of the week: Tirsdag/Tisdag, Torsdag, Fredag and Lørdag/Lördag, (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday). [edit] Arena Calendar This calendar was included with Arena. [edit] Daggerfall Calendar [edit] Skyrim Calendar Unlike in Arena and in Daggerfall, no holidays were specifically given.

LEFT: Crash’s first jacket, designed by Bill Botton (Jonathan Cape, 1973).RIGHT: Chris Foss’s interpretation (Panther, 1975). The first jacket, published by Jonathan Cape in 1973, shows a jutting gear stick, presumably intended to be phallic, in front of a towering three-dimensional titlepiece that occupies most of the cover. (1972), treats the image as an opportunity for lurid, pulp-style exploitation. LEFT: Fashionable flirtations (illustration: James Marsh; Triad, 1985).RIGHT: ‘Too lipsticky; too neat’. Rick Poynor
