They often take a keen interest in their worshippers, and it is speculated that this is either because of the obvious ego-gratification of being somebody's god, or because the Daedra like to keep an eye on potential future subjects (assuming people of demonic disposition enter Oblivion after death, that is there are as many afterlife theories as there are religions in the world). Elaborate shrines are created to honor the Daedra as gods.
However, several princes do seem to take genuine pleasure in tremendous acts of devastation, in particular Boethiah, Molag Bal, Vaermina, Mehrunes Dagon and Peryite.Īlthough the beings are considered evil by most, they are widely worshipped in the realms of Tamriel. They do not know the mortal sense of "good" and "evil", and usually have extremist tendencies, which is why Men and Mer fear them greatly. The Daedric Princes seem to view Men and Mer as little more than minor amusements, occasionally applauding the actions of mortals when they exceed their expectations. However, other planes such as the Soul Cairn and the Chimera of Desolation are known to exist, and the limits on their planes, powers, and influence are not readily understood. According toMankar Camoran, Lorkhan is also a Daedric Prince, although this has never been confirmed.Įach Daedric Prince is said to have his own plane of Oblivion, suggesting there are seventeen such planes. In all, there are 17 powerful Princes known to mortals: Azura, Boethiah, Clavicus Vile, Hermaeus Mora, Hircine, Jyggalag,Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Mephala, Meridia, Molag Bal, Namira, Nocturnal, Peryite, Sanguine, Sheogorath, and Vaermina. They are usually referred to as Princes regardless of what gender they appear most frequently as. Although Daedric Princes may assume a typically masculine or a typically feminine form, they have no inherent gender. Each has a particular sphere, which it is said to govern. Daedric Princes sometimes referred to as Daedra Lords are the most powerful of the Daedra, and thus most commonly worshipped as gods.
