For other uses, see Apotheosis.

Apotheosis is a rare process by which a mortal ascends into godhood. For example, Tiber Septim, who became the god Talos^{[citation needed]}. Another example is Reman Cyrodiil, who later became worshipped in some sectors of Tamriel as the god Reman ^{[citation needed]}. A more famous example is the Tribunal Temple in Morrowind. In The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles, it may even be possible for the Hero of Kvatch to achieve this process and become the Mad God, Sheogorath. Mannimarco is also an example of someone who ascended into godhood.
