    Oh I think its intentional, I think they are going off greek mythology inspiration for her design. With more of a fate/fury look. She has a whip those are associated with furies of greek mythlogy and seen a few images of furies with wings that kind of look very similar. The whip looks like a golden thread too, if you look up the three fates and then the furies. I uploaded one image of a fury down below compared with the image of Ithellia. One good image of a fate I cannot use here since its topless but can see the inspiration in that one too. That I saw on google.

    Which race collectively hates Mora? Do you mean the Skaal? They're no race, but a small secluded living tribe that consist only of a few dozen people. Such small groups can share the same mindset, but when it comes to much bigger societies of thousands of individuals, there's no such collectivism anymore.

    She would probably find worshippers just as any other Daedric Prince (they all have cultists after all, no matter how awful their "bad" aspects are - think of Molag Bal, for example), but it certainly wouldn't be a mass phenomenon. Many people know that Daedric Princes are deceitful and have aspects about them that can get really dangerous - also, the cultures of Tamriel are not in a blank state right now, they have their traditions and religious beliefs. If we take the Nords as an example, they for sure won't just give up their religion and pantheon because a beautiful female Daedric Prince screaming "I'm nice and if you worship me, I'll reward you!" pops up.

    Generally agree with the sentiment that it's a pretty meta and normy look. But my overall impression might improve when we meet and interact with her, so I'll wait for that. Voice, presence, and personality can make a big impact. How would Sheogorath or ESO Nocturnal look if we just saw them for the first time as a big reveal in a trailer?

    She might have stood out more as an orc, or perhaps an alfiq. Or a Kothringi or like a silver-gray Ayleid. Or maybe a short Bosmer with a big personality.

    Or maybe she just needs 300% more runic tattoos. Or cool irises or glass skin.

    That's a beautiful figurine. I disagree with previous posters that say she's too human/not Daedric enough, etc. Please have some respect for the artistic design and thought that would've gone into this. Not everything has to look a certain way. No reason a Daedric prince can't look different/stunning/alluring.

    Differences in personality matter. Such split personalities don't always share the same memory or they develop a third to make sense of the gaps. Sheo might be content to leave her be or might not have the presence of mind to actually DO something about it whereas Jyggalag might want to restore order. OR Sheo might want to release her to get even with the other princes for whatever slight they've inflicted and/or just promote more chaos?

    The appearance of Ithelia simply doesn't look Daedric enough, the glass shard aesthetic is unique but her appearance beyond that is rather mundane for an entity that is as otherworldly as Daedra are.

    Sheo appears as literally just a guy in a Two-Face suit. Azura appears as literally just a dark elf holding a moon and star. Nocturnal is just a chick with a skimpy robe and a couple raven pets. I mean jeez, Meridia's IN GAME model is just a transparent female Breton NPC. Malacath is just an orc in a loincloth.

    In fact, the only Princes with particularly "Otherworldly" appearances are Mora, Peryite, Mephala, Bal, and Dagon. Maybe Hircine too, but he's basically just a normal dude with a stag skull.

    Like, how is this "otherworldly" if Ithelia is "mundane"?

    Really feels like one of those scenarios of "this is something new so I hate it".

    It's no whip. This is one of her hands:

    This the other:

    It's probably supposed to be this, although it was highly stylized in that depiction:

    I'm quire sure it's supposed to be the strings of fate, though.

    Btw, her name sounds Greek(-inspired), too. I've been wondering all the time what it reminds me of.

    Unusual, already from the clothes they're wearing. It's clear they're not the average person.

    They're still young women, more or less beautiful according to the current norms when it comes to face and bodyshape, but small aspects like glowing eyes, non-human hands or claws and unusual clothing already change the impression a lot.

    Like I actually think what we got with Tho’at would be a much better design. Imagine if we got a Daedric prince made of that liquid glass shard stuff like Tho’at, and her form and weapon change every now and then to showcase her mastery of heroes and paths/choices. Like a glassy/liquid ditto Daedric prince? I think that would have been much better personally!

    I’d had made her face completely flat and featureless, like a mirror, and when you look at it you see yourself except on a different path than the one you took.

    I admit the last part would be kind of hard to include on a real wold object though. :p

    That's what I thought of the statue when I first saw it. And - if it weren't so expensive, that's exactly what I'd buy it for, the top of the Christmas tree in future. (I'm not at all involved in the whole Christmas "thing", being more on the Wiccan side of things - the tree etc is for husband who's totally conventional, and would simply see it as a pretty angel....)

    can we be sure this is her true form? they did say several times that she was walking through the West Weald, basically blending in with the locals. so could it be possible that she picked this shape for her escape?
    then there's also the fact that one of the glyphics containing Mora's secret has not been opened yet. I think it's conceivable that she isn't able to assume her true shape yet...

    Didn’t even think about this but that could be completely true. I mean they did say she was trying to get her powers and memories back. This could have just been the simplest thing to do in order to blend in.

    The religions of most human "races" ("people" would actually make more sense) of Tamriel paints daedra as an evil threat. They are negative figures, yes. I don't see that Nord intensely hate Mora, though, and also not that they specifically hate him more than others. There's a general disapproval towards daedra and I don't find it probably that they would look favorably on a Daedric Prince because that Daedric Prince is enemy to another Daedric Prince they might fear or dislike even more. It's still daedra worship.

    I own quite a few cold-cast resins as well- I favor those from Veronese Designs, as the detail is superb. I recently spent about $75 on a statue of the angel Uriel that really impressed me. Really, the photos never do them justice, it's the truth. Even the mini versions are impressive, though I like the larger ones best. I have several from their mythology collection that are bigger than the statue from Bethesda, and cost me less.

    Even though I collect action figures, I also favor the classic look on these, especially the bronze ones. The quality is far superior- especially the grace of the actual sculpting, when compared to any of the special edition figures from the Bethesda store.

    This figure could have been fantastic had she been done in resin, with a better design. I might have considered buying her in spite of the generic appearance if she'd felt more....inspired, in terms of the pose.

    Legends never die
    They're written down in eternity
    But you'll never see the price it costs
    The scars collected all their lives
    When everything's lost, they pick up their hearts and avenge defeat
    Before it all starts, they suffer through harm just to touch a dream
    Oh, pick yourself up, 'cause
    Legends never die

    I.... envision a sadder eventuality - with Mora a bit unhappy that it must again imprison Ithelia and then forge the forgetfulness needed (for whatever reason - I don't know the reason, I'm not Mora).

    You know, the fact that Bethesda assisted in the "birth" of this new Prince is actually pretty interesting. It makes me wonder what might be going on for TES VI - and I sure hope I'm still alive to play it whenever it releases. And I also hope it's not going to be VR - because I just can't do that, and that would be the HUGEST bummer of my life....

    Well, the Nords, off the top of my head anyway.

    The religions of most human "races" ("people" would actually make more sense) of Tamriel paints daedra as an evil threat. They are negative figures, yes. I don't see that Nord intensely hate Mora, though, and also not that they specifically hate him more than others. There's a general disapproval towards daedra and I don't find it probably that they would look favorably on a Daedric Prince because that Daedric Prince is enemy to another Daedric Prince they might fear or dislike even more. It's still daedra worship.

    Lyris even says “By Mora’s wagging tongue.”

    There are also phrase like that about Vivec and even Dibella (phrases I'm not sure I can even quote here :D ), by people who worship them as part of their native land's religion.

    I said races so that you didn’t think I meant IRL people because that has happened before. I guess I should have been more detailed and worded it better. People within the races of Tamriel that “live” in this video game franchise called The Elder Scrolls that was made by Bethesda Softworks, then Bethesda Game Studios who then let a new studio ZeniMax Media Inc create a title Elder Scrolls Online made by ZeniMax Online Studios. Good? LoL. Half messing with you, half serious. I did only say races because people have confused what I meant.

    But yeah, I feel that Ithelia could manipulate people into trusting her if she wanted to and a good way to do so in Imperial land would be an Imperial women. And some people do not like Hermaeus Mora and might blindly believe that this woman needs help.

    As for the statue, it’s fine. I am not a fan of the price or that they kind of made it sound fragile. It’s way over priced but so was the Hermaeus Mora statue.
