They take this infringment on their rights of worship very personally, and hate that the Empire was too weak to protect them.Īt this point it becomes a political move as well because being in the Empire does not seem mutually beneficial anymore, and they are in decline. Primarily the races of man worshipped him, but the Nords absolutely love him. Their religion says Talos was a man named Tiber Septim, founder of the Septim dynasty, who ascended to godhood upon his death. What really got the Nords fired up was the signing of the White Gold Concordant, a peace treaty with the Thalmor (ruling body of a high elf nation) that, among other things, outlawed the worship of Talos.
I think the sympathy more lies in the religious aspect of the civil war.
