Why did the Kothringi worship an Akaviri deity? The chief god of the Kothringi was Z'en, an Akaviri agricultural deity (who might also have some connection with Argonian mythology) and quite possibly a form of Zenithar. Kothringi sailors later spread his worship to Valenwood. How did the Kothringi come to revere an Akaviri deity as their chief god?
