Totemism - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

The first Atmoran settlers in Skyrim worshipped totems, sacred symbolic representations of animal gods. They worshipped the hawk, wolf, snake, moth, owl, whale, bear, fox, and the dragon. The dragon was seen as head of the pantheon, and worshipped most strongly. Some scholars believe these ancient totemic animals are the Divines followed today in Skyrim, just in a different form.
