Azura or Nocturnal

Well looking from the lore aspect because my main is Bosmer that would be Yffre (because it is no brainer for Bosmer right? lol) or if we look through Daedric Princes Namira because of her asociation with canibalism and at least for other races repulsive things.

Iluvrien

Azura, because Morrowind. End of.

Luigi_Vampa

Malacath. He is the only one that doesn't actively screw over his followers or seem to expect grovelling and servitude. As long as you are strong and honorable and an Orc you have his favor.

Doctordarkspawn

Meridia. Because least likely to get dicked over. Or Azura in that vein.

I used to think the same way, until Summerset...

just ask Darien...

Oh I would serve Sanguine. I relate to the Joker on so many levels...being an agent of chaos.

I wouldn't serve any god in the TES world. That's what I love about this lore. The gods aren't some omnipotent beings. Mortals can actively defy them.

The dwemer had the right idea.

Our character in this game has defeated like half the daedric pantheon while the other half (and the Tribunal) is constantly begging him/her for help. Why would they worship any of these beings?

The et'ada are incredibly powerful, and mortals would never had existed without the Aedra.

We the vestige were able to defeat(but not kill) Molag Bal only because we had huge help from the Divines and Daedric Prince Meridia. Even then, Molag Bal could only be hurt and Meridia states we may have actually benefitted Molag Bal in the long wrong. Perhaps the God of Schemes was the true victor and we the fool.

Even in Clockwork and Summerset, we only suceeded because of et'ada aid. Ultimately, mortals are just tiny players in a grand hostile cosmos. Nirn was created by gods and without divine protection, can be easily destroyed by gods.


The dwemer were intelligent fools and they paid the price. I wouldn't advise following their footsteps.

Mortals can reach "near-divine" power in TES lore (see Divayth Fy, Vanus Galerion, etc.). Mortals can also create their own gods/become gods for protection (see Numidium, Tribunal, Talos). The Aedra aren't a threat to Mundus as they aren't gods of destruction. They don't require worship either. The Daedra are only super powerful in their own realms. Their power in Mundus is limited.

I find it strange that Malacath is part of the "House of Troubles" when, at least in ESO, he's not expressly evil. Molag Ball and Mehrunes Dagon are basically the TES versions of Satan. They are obsessed with world domination, destruction, mass murder, ***, slavery, etc. Malacath has a blood lust, but it's bound by honour. He also doesn't seem to have any broader ambitions other than looking after the Orcs.

the daedric princes are omnipotent and all powerful but you also forget the daedra arent the only godly beings you have the aedra as well. the daedra can do whatever they please but they risk starting a war with the aedra. also we never beat molag bal or any of the other daedra as they cannot be killed we just set them back but its impossible to do for us in the form we were in. thus why the amulet of kings was used granting us akatoshes powers against him which wounded him. if you look at that we were acting with aedra power not just mortal power. so to even hurt a daedric prince you have to have godly might. nocturnal we never actually hurt or beat her we just stopped her plan by stopping the ritual. and mentioning the godlings sotha sil, almelexia and vivec their demi gods kindve sent to nirn to give the good word from the aedra basically.

The only way for a mortal to achieve true godhood is through CHIM, and those who manage it are incredibly rare. The Numidium and the Tribunal werent truly gods, as they stole their divine essence from Lorkhan. They had to continually steal it.

The Aedra don't require worship, but its logical to worship them. They ARE the gods of Mundus. It is through them that the Daedric Princes efforts to conquer Nirn are hindered. Akatosh in particular has made it very hard for Princes to do to nirn as they please.

Mortals are but temporary pawns on the game board the Princes are playing. The one race which rejected the gods ironically tried to make their own using divine power from an actual god, and are now an extinct race. They were the perfect example of how intelligence is far from wisdom.

Well the Chimer\Dunmer classified "good " and "bad" Daedra based on that Princes history with thee race. Mephala and especially Boethiah are not "good" by common standard but they helped the Chimer migrate to a new homeland and taught them how to survive it. The three "good" daedra are essentially like parent gods to the chimer\dunmer.

On the other hand it makes sense they view Malacath as bad. Since he was Trinimac and Trinimac opposed the Velothi movement, which he was defeated and he with his followers were transformed into Malacath and Orsimer.

Actually those three:

...are the "Good Daedra" from Chimer mythology - Mephala (with the extra arms, as befitting a spider daedra), Boethiah (in her "dark warrior" getup), and Azura (easily identifyed if you know her title as "Mother of the Rose")

They were the "gods" of the chimer before the rise Tribunal, and are currently considered "anticipations" of the tribunal powers in tribunal lore... yet are still venerated by the Ashlanders to this day (and that is why they and the great houses don't very much get along, since the ashlanders consider the tribunal "false gods"... and as anyone knows from the story of TES-III:Morrowind, they are actually right in that point of view, and in eight centuries or so, the tribunal will fall as the very old foe Vivec asks about in the events of ESO:Morrowind will rise and wrest the "heart of the world" from them, thus slowly cutting them off from their divine power... but that is another game, play it if you wanna know the story )

So many things are incorrect. The daedra don't have to worry about "starting a war with the Aedra", as the Aedra are basically dead, and aside from a few separate instances, they don't have, and cannot muster the power the princes have. Also, since Seht, Ayem, and Vehk (that's Sotha Sil, Almalexia, and Vivec to those that didn't know their names) don't worship the Aedra, and have never worshipped the Aedra, they would have absolutely no contact with said Aedra.
