The Other Daedra Need Servants


Sfumato

Recommended Posts

I have been searching EVERYWHERE for races that fit in as servants of the other daedric lords, not just Sheogorath and Dagon. I would like to see a different type of seducer for Nocturnal, perhaps dawn and dusk elf types for Azura, and a fawn or half-minotaur for Hircine, mostly. It would be a lot of fun to play any one of these, I think.

 

Anyone agree?

What I know about the servants of daedra princes: scamps, clanfears, xivilai, dremora, vermai are the lowly servants of Mehrunes Dagon, ogrims are the servants of Malacath, hungers are the servants of Boethiah, Seducers are found in the services of Azura, Meridia, Nocturnal, Sanguine, Sheogorath and Mehrunes Dagon, Morphoid Daedra and Herne are aligned with Mehrunes Dagon and Hircine, Spider Daedra belong to Mephala, Winged Twilights are exclusive to Azura, Auroran serve Meridia, daedroth belong under Molag Bal.

 

The other way arround it's:

 

Azura: golden saints, winged twilights

Boethiah: hunger

Clavicus Vile:

Hermaeus Mora:

Hircine: morphoid daedra, herne

Jyggalag: Knights of Order

Malacath: ogrim

Mehrunes Dagon: scamp, clanfear, dremora, vermai, xivilai, morphoid daedra, herne, dark seducers

Mephala: spider daedra

Meridia: dark seducers, Auroran

Molag Bal: daedroth

Namira:

Nocturnal: dark seducers

Peryite:

Sanguine: dark seducers

Sheogorath: golden saints, dark seducers

Vaermina:

 

It's however safe to assume, that dremora and dark seducers can be found in the arsenal of almost every daedric prince :). Another assumption of mine would be that Peryite sports dragons and that Haermeus isn't really in need of any servants. Wonder why Dagon has so many though.

 

You know, I think that beth should finally get their act together, employ a fantasy writer and finalize the lore. Tie the lose end, fill the gaps...

There are probably a lot more serving each of them, but Dagon was the center point of one of the games, so he has a lot more servants that have been made.

I can answer that. He's the Daedric prince of destruction, natural disasters, and the bloody scourge. now, while natural disasters can only truly be affected by him, he needs servants to spread that plague, and destruction often requires many points of attack (think about it, if a single man has enough power to destroy five buildings with one attack, then three men who can only destroy two still destroy one more, and they can attack three times as fast because there's more of them. get more servants, spread chaos in more places)

Probably because he has been the typical daedric bad guy for so long. Being that you could find atronach, scamps, clanfer, and dremora in many of the shrines related to other Daedra in Morrowind, one would assume that although Dagon may employ many of these, they can, and have been in the service of other Daedra at other points of time. This also helps explain why one need not be a follower of Dagon to summon these sorts of creatures. As far as xivilai go, they are described more as rogue lesser daedra, so could probably be found in any of the planes of Oblivion, however it would seem that the coloration and markings of those we see in Oblivion would be more easily associated with Dagon. Although a Daedric prince might have a certain affinity toward a type of creature, there are probably many similarities of creatures between the planes, atleast in regards to those planes that have more normal environments. There is certainly nothing about clanfer or daedroth that would make them fit with the kind of environment that Dagon's plane seems to have.

 

Atleast this is my view on it.

Yup, mine as well; think it's just crappy lore :P.

 

A daedric prince is a daedra as any other - except for being powerful enough to create his own plane of oblivion. The rest of the daedra are in simple terms wimps that don't really enjoy swimming in the waters of oblivion and prefer to join one - any of the princes in their planes. Except for atronarchs perhaps, they seem to be more of the "Perfect soldier" kind you know? Just roaming the waters until called without caring twice about who the caller is. Feral.

 

Each prince probably has a favourite, but that shouldn't really amount to much.

Ok, thanks for telling me why there hasn't been a mod like this already, and sharing the lore.

 

But I really do think these guys, if they have the creativity to create their own realm, they can create their own servants.

Well, each daedric realm is probably more of a manifestation of the various aspects of the daedra than anything which is willfully created. The daedric prince can certainly impose some will over changing that realm, but I get the feeling that much of it is less intentional than it is natural. This sort of thing can kinda explain all the daedric realms we have seen thus far. Dagon is a violent, rage filled being, and his realm fits that nicely. Mankar, who was given his own piece of Oblivion, had a piece of Oblivion which suited his particular personality. Sheogorath and his alter ego, the same kind of thing, except a bit more obvious.

Not quite, Dagon, and the other princes seem to exhibit more individuallity than daedric races like Dremora, Saints, Seducers. According to lore, many of the beings which are known as Daedra and Aedra (8 of the 9) played a part in the creation of Nirn. Or rather, of the beings which have chosen to make themselves known, the Aedra were the ones who were tricked into using their power to create Nirn, and the Daedra were those who were not.
