    Remember, Molag Bal created vampires out of sheer spite. When he was told that his dominion over mortals would always be subservient to the inevitable fate of death itself, Molag Bal gave his creations immortality so that death couldn't steal them.

    Peryite is underappreciated. Peryite is basically the head maid or hyper competent assistant who makes sure everything is running smoothly, running around making sure everyone and everything is working and doing thier jobs and sleeps maybe one hour a day.
    He is considered "weak" because he's usually far too busy to bother interacting with the mortal world, so we rarely see him or his actions.

    I'd enjoy a look into the relationships BETWEEN Daedric Princes; (perhaps even lesser daedra for that matter) which Princes dislike others, or enjoy their company and why.
    Or why events like what happened to Jyggalag aren't more common. do the 16 wish to avoid heavy conflict, are they simply too powerful, are they constantly on the defence waiting for an assault? Perhaps Peryite was the last to try, or even once much more powerful, and thus he has "earned" his position as touched on in the video.

      We only have Jyggalag's word that he was cursed by the other 16. The likelier explanation is that Jyggalag is another facet of Sheogorath's madness in the form of paranoid megalomania; Sheo and Jyggy are Jekyll and Hyde without the other princes giving a toss.

    I like to think that Herma Mora's knowledge in his Black Books doesn't drive someone insane, per se. More that it lifts the veil of what that person perceives is reality and gains a higher existence of thought, understanding the world in such a way that their actions *seem* insane to the 'normal peoples' but is the true truth to how to live, think, and act.
    I point to Septimus Signus in Skyrim as a case-in-point. He *seems* insane but also clearly shows an uncanny intelligence in things that, while we may not be able to unravel, pulls at your mind in such a way to wonder what truth he may be speaking.

    I have the base foundation of a theory regarding the relationship between the aedra and daedra. The premise is that each of the nine divines (counting Shezarr in place of Talos because who cares) has two daedric counterparts. Of course, we are missing an extra daedric prince to make the numbers work out, but whatever.
    For example, Julianos's counterparts are Hermaeus Mora and Sheogorath because all three gods are built around the idea of the power of the mind. Julianos represents the "good" aspects of knowledge, education, and wisdom, whereas Mora and Sheo are taking those things too far and suffering the consequences.
    In a similar vein, the "outdoors" gods are Kynareth for all the pleasant and happy things in nature, while Hircine and Peryite are the wild and ugly sides.
    We've got Dibella being reflected in Mephala and Namira, being perversions of sex and the decay of once-beautiful things.
    And Zenithar's work ethic is squandered by Sanguine going out and partying or wealth being stolen instead of earned with Nocturnal.
    I could list out all the ones I've pieced together, but that would be wasting time because I don't really have anywhere to go with it other than "hey, look at these tenuous connections I made." There's no *So what?* for me to pull out of this, but I think there _is_ something here.

    • @indigoraven2203
      @indigoraven2203 ปีที่แล้ว +56

      Regardless of whether this idea holds any weight in the long run or not, I think it’s pretty cool! I like the idea of each trinity of Gods showing the many facets to different concepts. Imo, it also adds some depth to the (D)Aedra. Not sure how it would add up with the creation myth, but like I said, it’s a snazzy idea regardless! Something I’d love to see explored more. Since Arkay is the Aedra of natural cycles & all, perhaps Mehrunes Dagon could be a counterpart to him, as he is the Deadric Prince of ambition & change, forwarding the progression of cycles in a way (dunno if that made sense).

Maybe I could fill in the missing daedra in my story, like a villain who is destined to ascend and be the final daedric prince unless the players stop him.

    Do we actually know that all the Daedra Lords sat out the creation of Mundus?
    The assumption is the Aedra lost their power in the creation of Nirn, but then how does former Aedra like Malacath and Meridia have the power of Daedra Princes? How does Lorkhan's heart have enough power for the Tribunal to defeat Daedra Princes if Lorkhan used up most of his power in the creation of Nirn? We also have legends where Hircine, Azura, Boethiah, and even Mephala were allies of Lorkhan. Why would they be allies of Lorkhan if they didn't believe in his project and refused to contribute their power to it.

    • @Vlugazoide
      @Vlugazoide ปีที่แล้ว +19

      The Tribunal power thing could be because of CHIM, because Camoran was right and Lorkhan is daedric in essence, or simply because a daedra can slip up. The Lorkhan allying with Daedra is basically because he has a common essence with them, so their goals could intersect a lot, and why didn't they participate? I think that the fact that everyone but Lorkhan was Anuic has something to do with it. Probably Lorkhan specifically chose to trick/convince Anuic entities for some pragmatic reason (their orderly persona keeping his new realm? Their presence helping to fulfill the psijiic endeavor?) so it makes sense why the daedra weren't present in creation, however you've raised some excellent questions!

    • @lividicus4816
      @lividicus4816 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      Presumably Trinimac absorbed some of Boethia's power after being consumed, regaining power and untethering from Mundus, but corrupting him into a Daedric Prince. Meridia as a Magna Gee, fled Mundus along with Magnus and the others, and as such maintained her power. She now resides in Oblivion with the other Daedric Princes after being cast out from Aetherius. The heart would grant greater power as the magical core of Mundus along with Princes not having as much power and influence in Mundus as they would in their own realms. They'd more so side with Lohrkhan as he is the creator of the stage that grants them some amusement from their eternal boredom, with some even possesing admiration of his treachery (Boethia).

    • @brandonbridge371
      @brandonbridge371 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      It is known that Daedric Princes are stronger on their own plane of Oblivion. Since Nirn is made from the bones of Lorkhan so Nirn is essentially his plane of Oblivion so his heart would give the tribunal immense power. Malacath is known to be the weakest Daedric Prince I'm sure the reason you stated is why. Don't forget the Aedra aren't completely powerless (( Oblivion Spoiler )) look at what Akatosh did in Oblivion.

      for meridia it simple, a daedra is just a prince who either didn't wanted to participate in the creation of Nirn like Molag ball , Mephalla,... or participate but did learn of Lorkhan plan soon enough to not be absorbed completly by Nirn like Azura (that why she hates him so much), we can assume that Meridia is in the second part

    I never understood how changing the Chimer was a curse. It’s not like the other races revile them for their skin color. If anything they just became more unique and badass so it’s hardly a punishment. Plus Azura herself appears as a Dunmer in Morrowind and other places. If she thought looking like that was a punishment she would always appear as a Chimer instead.
    In my headcanon it makes more sense if the Dwemer looked like the Dunmer do now. So Azura went “hey the Dwemer messed with the heart too so, if you want to emulate those blasphemers, your ancient frenemies, then go ahead and look like them too you ungrateful bastards.”

      I mean the nords hate them for their skin colour, and looking all fucked up like discount dremora probably helped some argonian propaganda. Dunmer already had a complex and alien culture as chimer, now they have an even more alien culture and they look like actual fucking aliens since no other race in the elder scrolls has grey skin(the argonians rarely have grey scales and they are isolationists), except maybe the rieklings but those dont exactly have a great reputation. This explains all the racism in morrowind too, if everyone hates you might as well hate everyone back.

She earned her station quite rapidly after moving to Windhelm from Summerset by adapting to the local culture. The Dunmer refuse to adapt, thus they are treated poorly by the nords. On top of this, the White Phial is also run by an Altmer (well, at least until he dies from disease).
      Note that this does not mean that there aren't racism in Windhelm. But it is not as prevalent as the Dunmer of the city claims and believes. Indeed, most Nords of the city doesn't really care what race you are, as long as you are pulling your weight.

    I always found Clavicus's separation to be a psyche based separation. Brabus seems to be the one with caution, foresight, and the want to act on those- whilst Clavicus acts with whimsy, a blissful vagueness on everything, and a want to just delight in scamming people. Perhaps he wanted to be free of these parts of himself but was aware that without them he'd be frequently scammed. So he made those thoughts and qualities to an annoying, barking dog, one that can be ignored should he wish.

You can do whatever you want- as long as you stay within and around her temple. At the end, once you have defended the Twilight Sepulcher (and lets be honest with that amount of Bandits in Skyrim there is gonna be some idiot who tries looting the ruins), you will have fulfilled your end of the bargain and be able to enter her realm of Oblivion.
