They are at least as trustworthy as the Daedra lords I have actually summoned and spoken with at length.Īpparently, Oblivion is a place composed of many lands - thus the many names for which Oblivion is synonymous: Coldharbour, Quagmire, Moonshadow, etc. These I have used as my primary source material. Nevertheless, scattered throughout the literature of the First Era are diaries, journals, notices for witch burnings, and guides for Daedra-slayers.
Those who “trafficke with daimons” seldom wish it to be a matter of public account. their depravity equals that of Sanguine itself, they are cruel as Boethiah, calculating as Molag Bal, and mad as Sheogorath.” Hale the Pious thus long-windedly introduced four of the Daedra lords to written record.īut the written record is not, after all, the best way to research Oblivion and the Daedra who inhabit it. (“Daedra” is actually the plural form the singular is “Daedroth.”) In a later tract by King Hale the Pious of Skyrim, almost a thousand years after the publication of the original Doctrines, the evil machinations of his political enemies are compared to “the wickedness of the demons of Oblivion. It is most probable that “daimon” is a misspelling or etymological rendition of “Daedra,” the old Elven word for those strange, powerful creatures of uncertain motivation who hail from the dimension of Oblivion. It is improper, however customary, to refer to the denizens of the dimension of Oblivion as “demons.” This practice probably dates to the Alessian Doctrines of the First Era prophet Marukh - which, rather amusingly, forbade “trafficke with daimons” and then neglected to explain what daimons were.
