Daedra and Sotha Sil...

Wanderer_13

Does it known how Sotha Sil persuaded Daedra to do not step on/interfere on Nirn?

oh, yes. I mixed up

There is a theory going around that Sotha Sil is looking at ways to destroy the Daedra. This is mentioned in dialogue with the final conversation that you have with Sotha Sil.

So maybe he offered not being destroyed?

But he was also very specific in his wording that the Daedric Princes may not set foot or physically manifest on Nirn. But there is a loophole insomuch as they can act through intermediaries. Maybe this was part of the deal?

However, Sheogorath has already broken the deal. He physically manifested in Southpoint, Grahtwood.

Isn't deal is legaly broken because of lack of Alessia's descendant for Amulet of Kings?

Unless that interior was actually part of his own realm. There was a lot of illusion going on in that quest already, so one more piece wouldn't go amiss.

No, that just has to do with their physical ability to manifest and interfere with Nirn. The whole idea of the soulburst was that Akatosh was providing protection in the form of a veil which physically PREVENTED other Deadric princes from interfering. The Couldharbour Compact was just an agreement that Sotha Sil somehow got the princes to agree to, like by threatening them or offering them something.

By the way, why Sotha Sil did that, if the Amulet of Kings had been working well? To be insure? Maybe I dont know something?

Additional insurance is likely; Morrowind was at war with the Empire at the time, and the odds of the Dragonborn emperor and his son dying were good. Also there was at least one person who was poking holes in the veil to let the Daedra through anyway - see Gil-var-delle for details.

The way i see it is that Sotha Sil wants to reinforce the liminal barriers of the mundus to prevent daedric invasions such as the planemeld, the best example i've seen to describe this is to think of the mundus as a house with holes in its roof and through those holes the daedra invade, what sotha sil wants to do is fix those holes banishing the daedra permanently without relying on the dragonfire and the amulet of kings which are both flawed. I recommend reading the truth in sequence if you haven't done so.
