Been thinking a lot about atmoran culture lately.
Their religion is supposed to have a really big importance in their culture, but aside from the puzzles in Nordic ruins, we hardly see any of it.
One of my personal headcanon is that all the atmoran gods were revered by all atmorans, but some gods take an importance to poeple depending on their occupations or their age.
So unmarried women would wear a cape with moth pattern to symbolise that they are under the Moth (Dibella)'s protection, and later change to a wolf fur coat when they get married and pass to the Wolf (Mara)'s jurisdiction.
Here you have Fen wearing her moth coat and then her wolf coat (hypothetical since she's not married yet)

Confession: I feel like there's a lot of potential in exploring the other continents, like Akavir and Atmora. It doesn't need to have any concrete plot, I just want to explore.

When an Atmoran or Nord mourned a sibling, they'd wear a bear pelt, often from a black bear, to show their loss.
The bear was the totem animal of Tsun, the nordic god of trials and adversity. We see him in Sovngarde guarding the Whalebone bridge. He died defending Shor from other gods, this was remembered as one of their "Dead Gods" like Shor. The sibling connection is his the fact that he and his brother Stuhn, the god of ransom fraternity and justice, were shield-thanes to Shor. To mourn his brother's death he adorned parts of the bear into his armor. Making the animal a symbol of mourning a sibling and or a sign of true strength.
Wearing a blackened bear cloak symbolized the mourning of a sibling and the strength to carry what was left behind. The surviving sibling would also be one of the few allowed to light the pyre for the deceased. Their world began with each other and one would end with it.

The last invasion — if that is the word for two ships, largely laden with corpses, begging to make port — occurred in the 68th year of the First Era. Whatever population did not succeed in fleeing to Tamriel doubtless succumbed to the ever-worsening climate many centuries ago.

Hey how do you feel about the Giants and Nords being related through the atmorans?
I can totally see this as a possibility. We know that all types of humans in Tamriel are quite compatible in terms of reproduction (and also their high willingness to try 😆). There could've been a giant species native of Atmora, and they had kids.
It's also mentioned that the Dwemer got the name 'Dwarf' because a now extinct type of giants of morrowind called them that. Meaning that they're smart enough to have a language (some think giants are not intelligent enough for this) and they could've been able to have ties with humans and all that. Leading to them mixing which led to a different type of human, like bretons.
So, yes. It could be possible. It also could be possible that they're simply like that because biology is weird. Who knows.

If you haven’t already answered this, do you have any theories on what kind of food our Atmoran forefathers would’ve eaten in times of old?
There is little we know about Atmora, but from what we do know, I can make a few deductions about the Atmorans diet. Seafarers by trade, there is no indication that the Atmorans pursued any agricultural activity whatsoever, relying on hunting instead. As such, there wouldn't be anything in the way of milk products, so foods like cheese, skyr, and yoghurt would not be viable.
What food was available would therefore be based on the geography. The Atmoran Frostwood, which served as a bountiful hunting ground in the midst of the frozen island, would be where most of their food was gathered and hunted. Atmora also purportedly has marshes to the east, somewhat akin to the lands around Morthal. The running streams and rivers also give us a clue as to the sort of fish they ate.
Fish, fowl, and game of all sorts would have been consumed. Whether it was salmon from the rivers, venison or aurochs, mudcrab and slaughterfish, the food that the Atmorans ate would not necessarily be entirely dissimilar to ours. In terms of vegetables, they would have foraged wild greens of all sorts, peas, beans, mushrooms, and even wild garlic for flavouring. In terms of seasonings, you'd find salt from the Sea of Ghosts, various herbs, as well as the dried, pulverised kelp that's sprinkled into food in Winterhold to this day.
Mead was not a drink the ancient Atmorans would be familiar with, due to the need for beekeeping and the inhospitable climate that prevents it. Liqueur would instead come in the form of fermented snowberries or juniper berries, which grow in harsh climates like Atmora; I am personally trying to develop a brew based on ancient traditions.
Based on what we know then, a traditional Atmoran meal would include dishes like smoked trout stuffed with thyme and wild garlic, sautéed mushrooms with salted bristleback bacon, horker roast with baked pears, fried whitebait in a seagull egg omelette, and even hazelnut-and-snowberry tart made with a crust of sliced apples. ~Talviel

What happens to past faces of Aedra and Daedra when they are replaced?
Ignore for a second that time does not work the same way outside Mundus
Instead imagine that an entirely new divine takes their place, cannibalizing their power from the old incarnation, letting it starve and wither.
Think of the Nordic rune god Jhunal, divine of Hermetic orders and wisdom. Discarded by the Nords for the relation to Herma Mora, the second known and more violent incarnation of the knowledge demon.
Does his spirit still battle this incarnation of the daedric lord?? Does he still answer prayers from sundered shrines? Is he angry? Mournful of his identity lost? Mournful for his time with the title and authority when the world was young?
Or are reimagined gods frozen in time? Unaware of the change, discarded like a dead skin, did it hurt? did they know it was happening? What could it have felt like as he watched from his domain, the mortals, who had slowly turned against him, spoke a new god into existence under Alysia's' name?
Or maybe they die.
Maybe Jhunal is dead, the woodland man won, the owl god now a corpse locked away in the eldrich halls of Apocrapha under an infinite ocean, does his bones yearn for the open sky a suffocating depth away? Does he yearn for rest? Is there peace in the frozen wasteland of Atmora for a dead god? Can the stillness of a dead home-land be peaceful? Does the woodland man wait for him there now? Can two discarded corpses find meaning in eachother, or do they rest for eternity in the wasteland?
Yet what marvels are lost with his passing. What was it like to influence the first Nordic clever men? Help hone their sorcery into enchanted stahlrim and massive city building ability. What was the first encounter with the woodland man like? Did they shape eachother? How did the Rune god earn his name, was it through existing Atmoran rune systems carved by his own hand? or was it taken from the snow elves and adopted in conquest?
Needless to say..
TREAT. All. INCARNATIONS. OF. AEDRA. AND. DEADRA. LIKE. DYNANIC. CHARACTERS. ITS. SO. MUCH. FUN !!!!

The land of Atmora... I went to reddit today to find out why Atmora freeze and hence men had to migrate from the far north to Tamriel and some people mentioned it is a land without time, time ceased to exist because the dragons also moved and etc etc.
I cannot warp my head around the theory that time doesnt exist in Atmora and hence why everything is stagnant and freeze. Like wtf... Akatosh just let a place to not have time?? A place in the mortal realm that he helped to create?? I cant warp my head around it so I just see it that climate change is the reason why Atmora became unhabitable XD it make sense tho! A simple explanation but it make sense

Headcanon about Frost Giants
Unlike their more warm brethren they are not descendants of Atmorans
While many people speculate that they are but got cursed somehow the truth is more intriguing
You see the Frost Giants are descendants of an uncommon race in modern times but not Atomorans
They are descendants of the Kamali the snow daemons of Akavir

Moonstone was a common stone found in items related to marriage across various cultures in Skyrim.
The ancient Snow elves used the Rainbow moonstone variety, often carving it into a unique shape or pattern for their person of interest
(example image below)
It was chosen as it was believed it could promote fertility and strengthen blessings by the goddess of marriage, Mara.
Funnily enough, Atmorans/Nords had a similar belief. While they preferred to craft crowns for their fiance, they would wear various stones for their main deity, and one for Mara to bless for each of them. That stone was commonly Moonstone, Rose Quartz, Amethyst or Rubies.
