You're right that it's not incarnation either. A tenth race, the Orsimer, or Orcs, reside in settlements scattered across Tamriel and, at some points in history, a kingdom inside High Rock known as Orsinium.The major political power in Tamriel's history is the Septim Empire, or Third Empire, centered in Cyrodiil, which at one time or another controlled most of Tamriel's nine provinces. And what does this make Talos?The Nerevarine did go through the motions of becoming the Nerevarine, but it isn't the same thing. I also mentioned dragon, but sort of backed away from that, for now. And mantling is not exclusive to Talos. When Jyg was freed from his curse, he ensured there would be some spirit that could take on the burden of being Aurbis's dangerous whimsy.But he merely recognized, or was likely the first to recognize, how one transcends the whole deal. I think it was probably more of the Dunmeri worship of Nerevar that raised him to the hero-god-like status, though clearly Azura had some play in it. I understand Talos is Tiber Septim after apotheosis, but from my limited understanding of the lore, it would seem that people can only become deities through mantling another weak or dead. Nevertheless, sales continued to grow, month after month, as news of the game was passed by word-of-mouth.The project took "close to 100-man-years to create". To me however you look at it, sheo and dragon are always in the fray somewhere. Subgradient, sure, but not the nice even mixture of Anu and Padomay that Mundus represents, right? I was thinking about. The packaging included a scantily clad female warrior, which further contributed to distributor concern, leading to an initial distribution of only 20,000 units. Having missed the Christmas sales season, the development team was concerned that they "had screwed the company". It seems strange to me that a Padomaic realm that is its Prince.I said something similar to this a while back, indicating a link between oblivion and the isles the events are the same to me. You walk like them until no one can tell the difference in the collective consciousness. So mantling is a form of divinity-inducing mythopoeia, but not all divinity-inducing mythopoeia is mantling.You are on to something, though. Mantling is a case of mythopoeia, or mortals' beliefs tangibley affecting the physical and metaphysical realities around them. Altering Mundic perception to change outer Mundic reality even to the point of apotheosis is not something exclusive to that myth-echo. So it's not mantling, technically. If you look back a few threads, you'll see me asking the exact same question If most here expect "mantling" to be a catch-all term, then I will happily adopt it as such. He took on the name Talos (meaning "Stormcrown") after the Battle of Old Hroldan (because of the storm that appeared before him, likely to be the ghost of Ysmir). His efforts unified the disparate lands of Tamriel under his banner, marking the birth of the Third Empire of Man, and with it the beginning of the Third Era. But there is a need for a Mad God. Found in The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall. In appearance, it's similar to Imperial Dragon Armor.

People called Septim "Talos", but sometimes it was actually Ysmir or Zurin being called that. But wouldn't uniting all of the nations of Tamriel under Imperial law and ORDER be contrary to Lorkhan's pandomic/chaotic nature.Everytime I read about Lorkhan I am told he is a trickster god and son of Pandomay/Chaos, but his polar opposite Akatosh representing time appears far more chaotic as a non-linear construct. But reincarnation and mantling are two separate things, I think in a description of mantling somewhere it even makes a point to say that mantling is not reincarnation.Shivering Isles is interesting.
Talos, later crowned as Tiber Septim, is the Dragonborn Emperor who conquered the nations of Tamriel during the late Second Era, ending the Interregnum that had scarred the continent for over four hundred years. It is said that Talos was born on Atmora and then came to Skyrim. It is boring, but it was a point I was corrected on earlier by someone whose expertise I trust. Bethesda missed their Christmas 1993 deadline. The case of the new Mad God is analogous to mantling, but it can never actually be more than just making a powerful spirit more powerful. In Atmora, the descending race was Nords which are descendants from nedes, but so are imperials and bretons. The only major deity missing from the Cyrodilic pantheon being Lorkhan, does this mean Tiber Septim was mantling Lorkhan, becoming the Ninth Divine. It is a form of mythopoeia, yes, but not all mythopoeia functions in the same way. Armour of Tiber Septim - Is the armor that Talos wore in the battle of Sancre Tor.
