Enatiomorph Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 (edited) 1 Dagon2 Molag Bal 3 Boethiah 4 Vaermina5 Namira6 Peryite7 Mephala8 Clavicus Vile <- At this point there's a jump in how "reasonable" they are.9 Nocturnal10 Hermaeus Mora11 Hircine <- At this point, they're destructive, but really just keep to themselves12 Malacath13 Sanguine14 Azura <- only "good" one. I missed out Sheogorath and Meridia because; Sheogorath is just unpredictable by definition, I don't think you can "rank" him along the others - and Meridia because she's largely quiet (I should read up on her more, really) who just really, really hates undead - by coincidence, so do most people. As long as there are no undead, she's happy. If people liked undead, I'm sure everything about her would seem a lot different....Shor/Shezarr is Lorkhan. An Aedra. In many ways hes neither if I remember right. Hes of the same original brood of spirits as the Aedra and Daedra but I'm not sure he fits in either category...Shor/Shezarr is Lorkhan. An Aedra. And again, Daedra have no concept of good or evil. So they cant be ranked. Also, I see people want to rank Mephala and Boethiah as evil. Guess these people never played Morrowind.Well, I never did play Morrowind, but have you checked out Boethiah's quest in Skyrim yet? You can read a book one of her followers carries, which has a bit of quest-unrelated lore, and I find it hard to see Boethiah even in just in a good light after that (and also her demands during the quest are... less than noble). And the conditions for unlocking the powers on Mephala's artifact also fail to impress. And then there's all the things that they have dominion over, like "secret plots of murder"... EDIT: Also, isn't the reason that people in Morrowind loved Mephala and Boethiah because they sucked up to the Tribunal? I can appreciate the whole "no concepts of good/evil" thing, but maybe we could make up a slightly different definition of evil for the question here, where it is just their extremity, pleasure and tendency to cause destruction for the sake of destruction. It's what I used. It's kinda like, you can't say the weather's good or evil, but you can say it's nicer to feel a breeze than be in a storm (except in this case, the storms are angry, jealous gods with unclear intentions) I thought that there was accepted "controversy" over the status of Lorkhan as an "Ancestor" and he sort of fell into his own category... Aside from the rotting corpse moons, does he even still exist? He tricked the other Aedra and is the reason why the mortal plane exists, but he didn't help make it (and even later, his "divine spark" was torn from him and destroyed).Daedra have no concept of good or evil. So they cant be ranked. No, the three good Daedra didnt suck up anything. They were the anticipations. Azura is just as good/evil as Dagon and vice verse. There is no morality when it comes to Daedra. George R. Price proved there is no such thing as morality (in real life). He proved there is no true acts of good, or altruism, only pre designed genetic prerogatives. Which means even the mortals have no true morality scale/rating. So the whole thing is pretty much an exercise in futility anyway. And if you want to get real technical with the lore, all gods are the amnesic, sleeping AE/godhead. So all acts are a dream, made by a god with mutiple personalities. Edited August 21, 2012 by Enatiomorph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sukeban Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) Meridia is definitely a friend. A bit put-off at her commanding me to cleanse her temple, but discovered that's how all Skyrim Daedra seem to roll. She and Sanguine are the only Daedra I work for on a routine basis. 1. Meridia2. Sanguine3. Nocturnal4. Azura5. Sheogorath6. Malacath7. Hircine8. Peyrite9. Hermaeus10. Clavicus11. Namira12. Vaermina13. Boethiah15. Mephala16. Molag17. Mehrunes On a side note, I would most definitely sell my Dovahkiin soul to attend a party with Meridia, Sanguine, Sheogorath, Malacath, Azura, and Nocturnal. I'd even throw in Jygalaag too if that were actually possible, as I've always raucously lol'd at that Oblivion line: "Jygalaag is even less popular than Malacath at parties... and Malacath IS NOT popular at parties." Basically, the idea of a Daedra Party is pretty amaze. Edited August 22, 2012 by sukeban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
