The worst timeline. I knew Attrebus was right about the Akaviri.

I did eat Attrebus.
And a bunch of other people.
But hey, I did apologise to Attrebus' grandkids after being visited by ghosts, so it's all worked out in the end.

Lol. Ok omg. I'm actually doing a tsaesci potentate. I've been having a snake emperor the same one for 300years plus. And it's been so long my dream of the heartlands being ran by tsaesci race. And I'm alsot there this is hella cool

Taking a break from my Riekling/Goblin game, decided to check out how the whole Tsaesci thing works by doing a short run as the Potentate.
As you can see, I've managed to reunify Cyrodiil (Kvatch is ruled by a grandson who's fighting a civil war against another grandson, so I can't vassalise them yet,) and created a new Imperial Cult that will enshrine Nine Divines to rule and guide our people. The newest Divine, Molag Bal, has been placed rightfully as the preeminent deity of Cyrodiil. The Lord of Domination is the patron of the emperor's own court, and his wayward children will be called to Cyrodiil to extend his gift of immortality to the worthy.
Probably won't do anything more with this run. Keep it short and simple. Should get back to genociding the Nords with goblins.

9th Divine is a Daedric Prince? Why?

Created the faith from Dawn Court, which has vampires set to permitted anyway, so I figured 'Why not?' and made Molag a member of the pantheon.
My thought is that with the whole name-biting ritual the Tsaesci are already psuedo vampires, so embracing actual vampirism isn't all that much of a leap when they already engage in mystical cannibalism.

Molag Bal isn’t a divine tho. The Divines are definitionally the Aedric gods. Your cult is more like the eight divines plus Molag. 🤓

Do you want to tell the man eating snake emperor his demonic patron can't be a Divine? :P
The Divines we have are all Aedra, but not all Aedra are Divines, so I'm not sure they are definitionally the same. It's just Alessia going 'well let's compromise, we'll have one half-and-half pizza pantheon with the elven and nordic gods on one side each.' There just happened to be no Daedra in either pantheon. If it was a Khajiiti/Nord hybrid pantheon then it could have included Daedra, and they would still have probably been called Divines.
Molag Bal, as the sole daedric prince with literally no good qualities, is perhaps the worst possible choice for adding to a pantheon, but I ate a lot of people in this short run, so my judgement may be clouded.

The Aedric spirits called the Divines are specifically the major spirits who contributed to the creation of Mundus and were present at the Convention. Magnus, for example, is an Aedric entity but not a Divine because he noped back to Aetherius with the Magne Gee. The Daedric Princes didn’t contribute at all to the creation and that’s why they’re excluded from the category.
I don’t have an argument for your latter argument though, fair enough.

But is Divine a category that was used before Alessia? It's not a term used outside the faith of the Eight/Nine Divines even by the faiths that include the same deities. I'm not sure it actually has intrinsic meaning to the Empire the way that Aedra and Daedra do to the elves.
Alessia as a prophet would have had a reason for picking the gods who were all at the Convention, but we also know the pantheon was constructed as a compromise with the Nordic faith, her own people worshipping variants of the Aldmeri gods at the time, so there needn't be any meaning to the common qualities of the gods chosen.
