[Spoilers] Ithelia's connection to Deadlight, a realm "devoid of life and energy"
randconfig
✭✭✭✭✭
A guy uses a "key" to open a portal to the forgotten realm of Deadlight.
This drains the "key" and inside Deadlight there is no "essential energy" to recharge the key to leave.
The realm is "devoid of life and energy", yet can see lighting, there is wind, there is light, all forms of energy, unless energy specifically means MAGICKA.
SO HEAR ME OUT, what if the "key" was abolisher, and what if "energy" actually refers to MAGICKA. That would mean the place Ithelia is exiled to is not our irl world, but the realm of Deadlight!
According to the lore, Mehrunes Degoth chased a forgotten prince here and destroyed the realm, this must be a reference to Ithelia... And if Ithelia is sent back there, imagine how she might feel with the recollection that they didn't just erase her from history, but did all of this to her.
I also wonder if Meridia may be involved somehow, given in her realm at the end of the base game Main questline, if you turn around you, you see a massive glowing light ghostly-green in the distance that looks like the color of Deadlight. And the name is literally Dead-light, with Meridia being associated with the "energy of living things", and being themed around light.
What if Meridia was shattered into two beings, with Ithelia being a fragment of her?.. So many thoughts, I really hope we learn more about Deadlight soon and get a follow-up to Ithelia's story.

✭✭✭✭✭Paths are alternate timelines/universes.
Deadlight is an abandoned Oblivion realm, so that seems unlikely.
i would definitely love to see ithelia again and learn more about Deadlight though
edited to add:
read through the story dialogue again and i said unlikely but now i think it's not impossible as ithelia says paths don't just lead to alternate realities
Vestige - "Do the Many Paths only lead to alternate realities?"
ithelia - "The Many Paths lead everywhere. Other places, other possibilities, parallel realities. You can go anywhere, if you can just find the path."
your Meridia theory is interesting, but wouldn't that be like Clavicus Vile and Barbas? i feel like Meridia would've been involved in Gold Road if ithelia were part of herEdited by LunaFlora on 22 April 2025 14:24miaow this is my forum signature! my name is Luna ( she/her ).

✭✭✭✭✭Mehrunes Dagon was not shown as a part of the Ithelia thing and as far as I know there’s a lorebook that heavily implies if not straight-up says that Ithelia is Merdia’s sister— a fellow Magna-Ge turned Daedric Prince. Good thoughts though.[PC/NA] Dungeoneer (Tank/DPS), Retired Trialist, and amateur Battlegrounder (DPS) with a passion for The Elder Scrolls lore.- Current GM of Hard Dungeoneers
