![]() Most Elder Scrolls fans could easily identify Thor, Zeus, and, although they come from outside of Europe, a handful of Egyptian gods. The influences of European polytheism from the Greek gods to the Nine Realms of Norse mythology can be found all over pop culture from God of War to the MCU and the DCEU. There aren't one-for-one parallels for each of the Norse gods in Skyrim, but the idea of a pantheon of gods that each has their own domain is instantly recognizable as the same general structure found in many European polytheistic traditions. Sovngarde stands in for Asgard, the Hall of Valor is influenced by Valhalla, Shor the Hoar Father, even as a Nordic version of Lorkhan, is Odin the All-Father, and so on. Although Skyrim's Nords worship most of the same Divines found in Oblivion, the province's religion is clearly more influenced by Norse mythology than its counterpart in Cyrodiil. ![]()
