Done; moved to Lore:Lorkhan and added an incomplete tag. If you really need more pages to describe his different aspects, subpages can be created ;)--Benould^•T•C 11:52, 6 August 2008 (EDT)

Leki

No, Makela Leki isn't only mentioned in ESO sources - she was first mentioned in Daggerfall.

Its true that the image caption from the Daggerfall book is "Saint of the Spirit Sword", however the context of the original physical book is needed to understand why this isn't the Yokudan God Leki.

The dev who wrote much of the old Redguard lore (known only as Ryder Bloc or Dave) originally wrote "Redguards, Their History and Their Heroes" as text that examines 4 major mortal Redguard/Yokudan heroes. Instead of it being complied into one large text, it was broken down in to smaller texts called:

• Notes For Redguard History (Hallin)
• Divad the Singer (Divad)
• The Memory Stone of Makela Leki (Makela)
• Redguards, History and Heroes (Frandar)

Despite being broken down, the texts and the images were still focused on the four mentioned mortal redguard heroes, and not the gods. We didn't get images of Hallin or Divad howerer - the physical "Heroes" book had only 2 images, Frandar and Makela. And yes, it might be confusing that the caption reads "Leki, Saint of the Spirit Sword" (which is also how the Yokudan god is titled), but once you understand "Saint of the Spirit Sword" is another word for "Ansei" (which Makela undoubetedly was) it becomes clearer.

In addition, the god Leki first appeared around the time of Redguard (PGE1:H - "By far the most popular gods in Hammerfell are Tall Papa, and his children: Hunding, Leki and Ansei") - after Makela and Daggerfall. Saying this image is Leki the god implies that in a book about four mortal Redguard heroes, they added an image of a Yokudan god that didn't even exist in the lore yet.

I'll revert this again. Please discuss on the talk page if you want to take this further. --Jimeee (talk) 08:50, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
