While other Races to partake in Moon Sugar, it is something that represents the Khajiit in a rather monumental way, and the fact that one of their more abstract gods that represents a set of guidelines contains a connection to Moon Sugar is something that is incredibly interesting and somewhat unique. The Riddle'Thar is more a set of guidelines by which to live than a single entity, but some of his avatars like to appear as humble messengers of the gods. The cosmic order deity of the Khajiit, the Riddle'Thar was revealed to Elsweyr by the prophet Rid-Thar-ri'Datta, the Mane. Riddle'Thar is probably the best example, because he represents, in part, something that is almost entirely unique to Khajiit Culture, in the form of Moon Sugar. And while all of these deities are somewhat boring, there are a rather astonishing number of unique gods to the Khajiit Pantheon. He's still essentially just a Daedric Prince of Madness and Insanity, but the Khajiit more openly worship him and accept that insanity is a part of their lives, something that is much rarer than the other small changes that are made to Mara or Magrus. The King of Insanity appeals to the darker side of the Cat-Men, who chafe at the strictures of sanity and responsibility. Perhaps Sheoggorath is another example, but there are interesting connections to the idea of worshipping him, especially since they see him in the following manner So who are these deities that are arguably just Khajiit versions of Altmer or Imperial Godds? S'rendarr, Mara, Khenarthi, Magrus and Hircine are all currently just different versions of other deities. The closest we have to a Khajiit view on the overall pantheon would be Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi to her Favored Daughter, but that mostly examines the creation myth of the Khajiit. Varieties of the Faith: Khajiit is a condensed form of these books that contains all of the information he's written on the Khajiiti Gods. The book's that he's written include Varieties of Faith in Tamriel and Varieties of Faith in the Empire. It is, however, important to note that at this time, most of this comes from the work of Mikhael Karkuxor (who is just Michael Kirkbride with a 'totally disguised' name) of the Imperial College, and while I'm not saying that he certainly isn't a Khajiit, it can be expected that at the very least he has a bias because of his connection with an Imperial Institute, and probably not being a Khajiit. And for the most part, the worship of these deities is almost boringly similar to the more classical worship that you see in other provinces. Before we can delve further into the Khajiiti Pantheon, we have to acknowledge that there are deities in it that are more along the lines of just different named versions of the Imperial, Altmeri or Nordic Gods.
