      And when Scott talks about contradiction - lying to yourself somehow makes it true, I realized that it works for propagandas and modern creation myths as well.
      The first big brothers wouldn't believe a word of it, but as generations come and go, not only did the great grandson big brothers lose those esoteric insights that make them lucid, but the people was somehow so inspired by the lies that they have built up confidence, unity, pride and even noble optics etc. That's how propagandas realize themselves, occasionally.

    THIS is pretty much exactly why Mephala is my favorite Daedric Prince. I just have to respect how clever and insidious she is.
    I think her title of "Prince of lies, sex, and murder" doesn't really do her justice, hence why I think it'd be more fitting to refer to her as "Prince of subterfuge." But ironically, being underestimated is probably exactly what she wants, given that deceit is literally her thing. Also, like you said, she has massive influence. Even more than her sibling Hermaeus Mora, in my opinion. Great video!

      Prince of Subversion. Every expectation unmet or surprised, every obvious truth becomes a lie, every obvious lie becomes a truth. There is no distinction between the normal and the perverse, the sane and the bizarre. Even mephala's gender expression is an illusion, simply a ruse for seduction. She is as incomprehensible as she is sinister. She is kind of similar to Lolth from DnD, except Mephala is actually intelligent and lucid, whereas Lolth is impulsive and incoherent.

    The Night Mother being a shrine of Mephala makes sense to me. I always wondered why Cicero, an amazing assassin, was taken out of the field when he was one of the best. But if he's actually taking care of one of Mephala's conduits, then it would make more sense. This is because Cicero is a master manipulator. Many assassin's just sneak and stab, some are purely brute force, some prefer poisons, others shoot fire balls from the darkened corner, but Cicero is known for being a betrayer... In fact, that's what his card calls him in Elder Scrolls: Legends.
    I don't know, it sounds cool to me. The Night Mother always seemed dull and didn't peek my interest all that much, but if she is a conduit for our Daedric Lady, then she's a lot cooler than I thought.
    Also, I'm an Elder Scrolls baby and I've been bingeing lore, so finding out that Mephala is the sister of my personal arch nemesis/ favorite villian Hermeaus Mora is awesome to me. I'm a Dark Sister, even when I try to make a moral character I just can't seem to help myself! I'm also a knowledge junky, so Hermeaus Mora always makes me a little uncomfortable since he is the most attractive "sin" for me personally. And I both love and hate him for it...

      @@CoffeeSuccubus I never really thought about who my favorite Daedric Prince is out of the ones who represent themselves as a female. But I'd say either Mephala or Nocturnal easily.
      Appearance wise both Prince and Realm, Mephala has that gothic look to her and I love that old Victorian Gothic look of sorts and the same goes for her realm. Nocturnal is sexy let's be honest, and her realm has this gloomy beauty to it which I loved during the Summerset Story.
      But I'd say I favor Mephala more because she's got one over Nocturnal with her and her realm sorta remind me of the Contessa and Episode 5 in Sly 2 which are my favorite boss and location in the game. And Contessa is... a spider. Murderous, decietful, etc. Just like Mephala.

      Lol, I know what you mean. I’ve actually never played an es game but fudge muppet got me hooked on the lore during Covid. After watching probably hundreds videos about Es lore- I’m starting to feel like I know a respectable amount of it. A few days ago I was suggested shoddy cast videos and I’ve watched their Es lore series. It was very well produced (namely the season 2 with their buttery smooth hired voice actor and cameo of sheo’s real voice actor ) but during season one I was able to get nitpicking with the content (for examples- explanations for race conflicts and interpretations of ideas like dragon breaks). . I think shoddy cast is great for introductory content for new people, but it does lack the depth shown here or even by camel works. Probably my least favorite part of shoddy cast’s lore videos- isn’t their fault- but the comment section was full surface level comments that you might see on just any viral video- packed full of lore misinformation or misconceptions. I like reading the comments here because I feel like I can learn from others. Just a different viewership, I guess.

    Boethia was always my favorite but without a doubt Bethesda seems to have done a great job with in game lore being accurate enough yet simultaneously misinformation enough as to render all of the daedra (really the Aedra as well or for that matter all of the mythologies of Mundus) to be totally misunderstood.

    Excellent video! By the end, I started to perceive Mephala as the Daedric prince of politics: a messy, necessary world full of secrets and affairs (JFK comes to mind). This made it easier for me to understand Mephala as a keeper of civilisation for what use do the primitive, who live by the whims of nature, have of legislation and words?
    I also couldn't help but to think about a possible rivalry between Mephala en Hermaeus Mora. One creates secrets, the other unfolds them. Anyway, those were my thoughts about Mephala...

    I like that halfway through the video I'm like "By Talos, I know nothing of Tamrielic lore". Are you in the Imperial Library? You must be. I was studying the Dwemer in that website years ago and it was a very immersive experience. Either way, my point is...do you have a "basic lore" video I can go to? Either way, I'm going to have a very good time going through your lore videos. Thanks for the wonderful editing and voice over.
    P.S.: If I could suggest any "improvements", it would be adding text to your videos whenever you're reading passages or quotes from official stuff. Since sometimes there is ALOT to absorb and many different names to remember, it might be interesting to have visual cues. I'm not a fellow content creator so I'm just speaking as a viewer! Thanks again.

    Maphala was never my favorite, but she is the most endless potential content mine. Even more than the mystery of Nocturnal or the endless need for upheaval of Mehrunes Dagon. And no matter how much I like to explore Deadric Princes like Nameria or Malacath, you can't actually do a terrible amount with them to expand on their lore than already has been.

    Something I think you should have touched on is Mephala's number 8, in a way, reflects infinity. Like a representation of an Ouroboros symbol.

    • @litewave5186
      @litewave5186 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Strange, the Ayleids supposedly were obsessed with the number 8. Could there be a connection between them and Mephala? Seems odd that there would be, given that they seemed to revere Meridia above all others, rather than Mephala.

  • @fibinock
    @fibinock 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The importance of the number 8 and the eight-spoked wheel seem to be clear references to Buddhism, and Mephala in some ways seems very similar to the Hindu goddess Maya, who deceives people into believing material reality exists. It seems like Mephala is important for both maintaining the material world of Nirn through her carnal aspects while also revealing to her followers the path towards Chim, which is itself similar to Nirvana. This would make a great video essay...
    (I’m not Hindu or Buddhist nor an expert in their theologies, so forgive me if my comparison is off)

    It's fun to do a playthrough starting with the ebony blade, then do the brotherhood and/or thieves guild on mephala's behalf - making off with the sanctuary repair money or the skeleton key to screw your faction over in the end.
    I like to imagine that in the case of the brotherhood, she would know they would be destroyed by their own actions, and even if they're her people, would see it almost like a fun prank. Or an eradication of something stiff and unimportant that she no longer needs.
    And assuming you're not playing as the dragonborn - whether mephala is also cheating nocturnal out of the soul of a nightingale, or whether you the player are yourself being screwed and decieved into thinking you'll be safe from nocturnal is up to your own speculation.
