Patron Saint of Humanity?Edit

This page refers to Alessia as the "patron saint of humanity" but I believe this title may be suspect. When Phillius Dormier (ESO) refers to her as such, he explicitly specifies to "Predicant Maera and her flock of bloodthirsty priests." Wouldn't this imply that her status as "patron saint of humanity" (as opposed to just "saint") is not universal among humans?

Side note: I removed the Shezzar and the Divines reference because at no point in it is the term "patron saint" nor her status as a "saint of humanity" mentioned at all. Speedboosttorchic (talk) 16:54, 28 October 2021 (UTC)

I've undone your removal of the Shezzar and the Divines reference. It is a supplementary reference demonstrating that it's not just Philius Dormier who refers to her as a saint.

As for her title as patron saint of humanity, the relevant dialogue line is from an Imperial talking about an Imperial saint. We cannot infer that it's only the "bloodthirsty priests" who refer to her as such; on the contrary, that's exactly what Philius himself is calling her. Universal among humans or not, it is clearly a title used by those of the Imperial faith—and that is the topic of this article. —⁠Legoless (talk) 19:01, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
