So I came across this in Boethiah's UESP page: " But despite the dark undertones of his sphere and influence on Tamriel, Boethiah is considered to be one of the "good" Daedra. Boethiah is considered to be allied with the http://uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Temple_of_Stendarr" Just to refresh, Boethiah's the prince of sneakiness and murder and stuff. Is this translatable to some kind of honorable rule by might mentality, or is it simply sneakiness and murder and usurperismfulness. ( sidenote: I bet he/she would love Game of Thones)

Considered "good" by Dunmer, probably because he's the reason for the exodus. He's somewhat of an enigma, again drawing parallels to Lorkhan. Depicted as a warrior in Morrowind and Oblivion, and a deceitful mistress in Skyrim.

Well, she's considered a Good Daedra by the Dunmer, for whom Boethiah is one of the architects of their culture.

That said, Boethiah represents ambition, strength, and self-determination as well as the stuff you mentioned. She's benevolent in a very Nietzchean, "Beyond Good and Evil" kind of way.

Being the prince of sneakiness and murder makes you good..?

Boethiah is the prince of deceit, conspiracy, secret plots of murder, assassination, treason and unlawful overthrow of authority, so no, I would not say that Boethiah is any good..


But when it comes to Daedric Princes, there really is no "Good or evil".

But he is also the enemy of the King of [censored], which makes him good in my books

That's only part of her sphere. Boethiah is a patron of wolves, not lambs. She has no interest in the poor and downtrodden, and if you let yourself get murdered or overthrown, you didn't deserve to rule.

Revolution and the overthrow of illegitimate rule are the flip side to her coin. Think of the American, French, or Bolshevik Revolutions, or the plot of Dishonored for a fictional example, all of which involved conspiracy, murder, and the unlawful overthrow of authority.

It's all a matter of perspective.
