Varieties of Faith : The Khajiit Content . As fits their heterodoxy of form , the Khajiit worship many gods , and few confine themselves to the Imperial eight . The Eight : Alkosh ( Dragon King of Cats ) : Pre - ri ' Datta Dynasty Anequinine deity . A variation on the Altmer i Auri - El , and thus an Akatosh - as - culture - hero for the earliest Khajiit . His worship was co - opted during the establishment of the Riddle ' Thar , and he still enjoys immense popularity in Elsweyr ' s wasteland regions . He is depicted as a fearsome dragon , a creature the Khajiit say " is just a real big cat . " He repelled an early Aldmer i pogrom of Pelinal Whitestrake during mythic times . Riddle ' Thar ( Two - Moons Dance ) : The cosmic order deity of the Khajiit , the Riddle ' Thar was revealed to Elsweyr by the prophet Rid - Thar - ri ' Datta , the Mane . The Riddle ' Thar is more a set of guidelines by which to live than a single entity , but some of his avatars like to appear as humble messengers of the gods . Also known as the Sugar God . Jone and Jode ( Little Moon God and Big Moon God ) : Together , the moons represent duality , fate , and luck . In Khajiiti religion , Jone and Jode are aspects of the Lunar Lattice , or Ja - Kha ' jay . Mara ( Mother Cat ) : Nearly universal goddess . Originally a fertility goddess , the Khajiit associate her with Nir of the " Anuad , " the female principle of the cosmos . She is the lover of Alkosh . S ' rendarr ( The Runt ; God of Mercy ) : S ' rendarr ' s sphere includes compassion , charity , and justice . In early Aldmeri legends , S ' rendarr is the apologist of Men . Khenarthi ( God of Winds ) : Khenarthi is the strongest of the Sky spirits . In some legends , he is the first to agree to Lorkhaj ' s plan to invent the mortal plane , and provides the space for its creation in the void . He is also associated with rain , a phenomenon said not to occur before the removal of Lorkhaj ' s divine spark . Baan Dar ( The Bandit God ) : In most regions , Baan Dar is a marginal deity , a trickster spirit of thieves and beggars . In Elsweyr he is more important , and is regarded as the Pariah . In this aspect , Baan Dar becomes the cleverness or desperate genius of the long - suffering Khajiit , whose last - minute plans always upset the machinations of their ( Elven or Human ) enemies . He has also lent his name to the Baandari Pedlars , the traveling Khajiiti merchant tribe . Additional Deities with Significant Khajiiti Cults : Magrus ( Cat ' s Eye , Sun God ) : Khajiiti version of Magnus , the god of the sun and sorcery , popular with Khajiiti magicians ( though less so than Azurah ) . Rajhin ( The Footpad ) : Thief and trickster god , the Purring Liar , much beloved of Khajiiti storytellers . Rajhin grew up in the Black Kiergo section of Senchal . The most famous burglar in Elsweyr ' s history , Rajhin is said to have stolen a tattoo from the neck of Empress Kintyra as she slept . Azurah ( Goddess of Dusk and Dawn ) : Patron of Khajiiti magicians , respected rather than feared for her sometime trickery . In myth she is tied into the origins of Khajiiti out of Aldmeri stock . Sheggorath ( Skooma Cat , the Mad God ) : The King of Insanity appeals to the darker side of the Cat - Men , who chafe at the strictures of sanity and responsibility . Hircine ( Hungry Cat ) : God of hunting and skinchanging , revered for his fierceness and cunning . Sangiin ( Blood Cat ) : God of Death and Secret Murder , Sangiin ' s worship is hidden from Cat ' s Eye . " For who can control the urges of blood ? " Namiira ( The Great Darkness ) : An enemy of the living , to be placated rather than worshiped . Lorkhaj ( Moon Beast ) : Pre - ri ' Datta Dynasty Anequinine deity , easily identified with the Missing God , Lorkhan . This Creator - Trickster - Tester deity is in every Tamriel ic mythic tradition . He convinced or contrived the Original Spirits to bring about the creation of the mortal plane , upsetting the status quo — much like his father Padomay had introduced instability into the universe in the Beginning Place . After the world is materialized , Lorkhaj is separated from his divine center , sometimes involuntarily , and wanders the creation of the Et ' Ada . He and his metaphysical placement in the " scheme of things " is interpreted a variety of ways . In the legends , he is almost always an enemy of the Aldmer and , therefore , a hero of early Mankind .
