Today I watched a documentary on Pluto and it's declassification as a planet called, The Pluto Files by Neil deGrasse Tyson. A question came to mind on if "the Nine Divine" were a representation of the planets in our Solar System and if someone in Bethesda had thought to declassify an ES deity to elude to this change. So what do you all think? Have you thought of this or found any evidence of this? It makes sense to me.

someone posted a thread about this yesterday, consensus was that its an interesting thought, but probably unrelated.

Unless you are caught in the lies if the thalmor, Talos is still a divine.

Indeed

Eh its ok. Some people probably would like to debate it further anyway, dont mind cynical ol' me.

Most likely, the designers first decided to have civil war in Skyrim. They made that decision not because of Pluto, but because they wanted a civil war. Next, they probably brainstormed ideas for causes of the war. Talos, the Nords' most revered divine, is recognized as a man who ascended to godhood. That status is old stuff in Elder Scrolls lore, not something invented as a consequence of the big Pluto debate, which came afterward. Men becoming divine, divines viewed as men, and men viewed as divines, are subjects of well-known, real-life religious controversies. Religious differences are actual historical, and current, in-your-face causes of widespread human bloodshed. Designers needing excuses for Nords fighting a civil war hardly need Pluto for inspiration. Other sources are far more immediate.

Although it may be fun to draw parallels between Pluto and Talos, there is little reason to believe that Pluto factored into Skyrim's design.
