The Argonian at Peryite's Shrine won't fight back, due to being in the trance. Exposure to Nedic religion resulted in the Ayleids learning about and then incorporating the Blighted Lord into their mythos. Although the Argonians as a whole do not worship neither Aedra or Daedra (instead choosing to revere the spore-trees known as the Hist and the great nothingness called Sithis) the individuals that assimilate themselves into the other provinces are fully capable of doing so. Amid the current public health and economic crises, when the world is shifting dramatically and we are all learning and adapting to changes in daily life, people need wikiHow more than ever. Persecutors of Peryite worshippers are often priests of Akatosh, Arkay, and Zenithar, and the Taskmaster does seem to hold some contempt for those three Aedra. He has also formed planes in Oblivion either for his followers or out of his anger (which is something to behold, for the Blighted Lord is always described as calm and calculating), like the Oozing Mire.
However, the more open-minded Altmer view him as a ‘Societal God’ who’s in charge of their incredible caste system.
Despite this, many Taskmaster cults persisted throughout ancient Cyrodiil (some scholars even suggest that the statues of Akatosh that can be found throughout the Heartlands were based on early depictions of Peryite) and eventually found themselves in the other eight provinces.
