Be careful what you ask for ......... :D
Simple answer is The Tribunal (Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil) as well as Dagoth Ur achieved godhood basically by tapping the Heart of Lorkhan on power. Once the Heart was destroyed (or rather, freed), they all lost their godly powers. Vivec remains, though, for he also achieved something much more powerful than godhood - he has CHIM (https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/CHIM)
There are no "female" daedric princes. Nor are there "male" ones. Gender is a mortal concept that does not apply to daedric princes, who can choose to manifest themselves in the form they like. Some usually appear in a male form, some in a female one, some appear as ... things (Hermaeus Mora for example), and at least one (Boethia) has been known to use both genders. But since none of them have any _inherent_ gender, they are always referred to as "princes" in the gender-neutral sense. Even Azura and Meridia, who consistenly appear as women, are considered Daedric Princess, not "Princesses", because they have no inherent gender.
Dragons are extremely powerful beings, but apart from Akatosh (the "father" of the dragons) they are usually not considered gods. The difference might be mostly just in semantics, though.
Too many different ways to count, and too many different mythologies to settle on a "true" one. The world of Elder Scrolls is full of ancient and powerful beings, which came to be that way by various completely different processes. Whether that makes them gods ... well, I guess ultimately that's just a label that gets slapped onto them if/when they get worshipped.
thank you this helped alot
No one knows. Probably too many to count.
Generally, Elder Scrolls lore consists of more than a dozen of regional myths (and many variations of those) that span several millennia. There is no single religion in Elder Scrolls, rather, it's a potpourri of countless sects and cults whose stories and beliefs often overlap, but also differ substantially in other details.
Dremora are less raw, less animalistic. They are a people, they formed a fairly complex (though, to humans, alien) civilization with rules, traditions, and ideals. I don't think it's clear how they originated, but they _are_ usually in the service of some of the Daedric Princes.
For example, take Arkay, the Divine that is associated with death. According to some beliefs, he is one of the most ancient forces in the universe, personifying a fundamental principle of existence that is as old as time itself. This would make him older than any other Divine except perhaps Akatosh, who is associated with time.
According to other groups, he is just a divine being that defies further investigation, but is on the same level as the others in the Eight/Nine Divines pantheon.
And then there are groups that believe that Arkay was a mortal merchant who achieved godhood as part of a bargain.
And for all these different beliefs, you can find evidence in the Lore - mostly in the many hundreds of books that exist in all the Elder Scrolls games.
Again - possibly the most important thing to understand when dealing with Elder Scrolls lore (and its mythology in particular) is that there are no absolute truths. There are just lots of different sources who sometimes agree with each other, but also often contradict each other. Almost all information is always conveyed through unreliable narrators - their accounts _may_ be true, but they also might not. We don't know.
It's very similar to the real world. More than a billion people believe in Christ, but the details differ tremendously. Some believe that he was a divine being who performed wonders. Some believe that he was a human with a divine "spark". Some believe that he was a "normal" human priest and philosopher whose story got embellished into divinity. Some believe that he never existed, but was made up by Romans as a personification of a particular mystery cult. There are dozens of different accounts of his life (not just the 4 that got canonized into the Bible) with hundreds of agreements and contradictions. And for each of these differing beliefs, you can find sources that support them.
Akatosh - yes. He's often seen as the "first", "oldest", or "father" of the other Divines.
Akatosh is a dragon but what about the rest ?
