Daedra Prince

Is it possible that there could more Daedra Princes that are currently unheard of? Since Jygallag hadn't been known of since the Shivering Isles, could there be more that are unknown?

jygy was mentioned before the shivering isles, but we did not know of his exact identity. i dont think there could be any more, since their number is ingrained in the nature of the world. but im really not totally sure.

I believe one of the loading screens mentions "There are 16 known Daedric Princes", so yeah, I think it is possible there are other Daedric Princes that we don't know about.

If we don't know them yet, we probably never will. The reason we never have is because they represent something irrelevant to the mortal experience and are thus powerless.

That means the ones we know of represent something relevant to the mortal experience? In some cases you'd have quite an uphill battle to prove that, in other cases it's lamentable that we have the daedra lords that we do.

How could there possible be a fantasy deity that doesn't represent something recognizable? Arena/Daggerfall had to attribute some familiar characteristic or image to them just to dream them up. There are the obvious ones, like the Four Corners, the demons from hell who embody everything we'd rather not have kids watching on TV, and I think it also applies to the ones that are coy about their provinces, like Meridia and Peryite.

My friends,

It is not another Daedric Prince which concerns me. Yes, there were 16 ingrained into the nature of the world, with Jyggalag and Sheogorath filling the same spot. But now, with the separation of Order and Madness, there is room for another "spoke", so to speak. Who now shall take up position? Talos fills the spot once occupied by Shezarr-who-is-Lorkhan. There was no spot for Lorkhan to fill, until now. The Sithis-shaped hole created when his Heart was removed has now been filled.

Probably the terrible Daedra Prince Raptor Jesus, Lord of the Daedroth.

What about Mankar Camoran's ramblings?

"Why do you think your world has always been contested ground, the arena of powers and immortals? It is Tamriel, the realm of Change, brother to Madness, sister to Deceit. Your false gods could not entirely rewrite history. Thus you remember tales of Lorkhan, vilified, a dead trickster, whose heart came to Tamriel. But if a god can die, how does his heart survive?Thus you remember tales of Lorkhan, vilified, a dead trickster, whose heart came to Tamriel. But if a god can die, how does his heart survive? He is Daedroth! Tamriel ae Daedroth! This Heart is the heart of the world, for one was made to satisfy the other. You all remember this. It is in every legend. Daedra cannot die, so your so-called gods cannot erase him from your minds completely."

What about a Daedric Prince of Passive Aggression? Or of things getting stuck in drawers? :whistle:

Isn't that part of Molag Bal's sphere?

I think that's part of Sheogorath's domain :P

Just attribute all newfangled personality quirks resulting from the advance of civilization to Zenithar.

There used to be a brilliant dev quote (by VXSS or Tedders) about the random daedric Princes of things such as old shoes and silverware or something, noting on how there were lots of minor daedra. I believe its been eaten by the forum langoleirs though...

What influences do you think the Daedra have on the rest of Nirn, and vice-versa? Tamriel is only one georgraphical locale, there could possibly be more different ones and thus more significant environments for there to be princes engrained with...

Aren't there supposed to be Daedric princes of everything and nothing?

Well, I basically just told him NO U R DAEDROTH and struck him square in the face. Mankar Camorans ramblings are just that.. ramblings.

Was Lorkhan ever really considered a Daedric prince? I think he should have if not..

It's only a model. It's not meant to be a perfect representation of the cosmology by any stretch of the imagination. Otherwise, how would you account for the two moons, or the holes of reality leading to Aetherius?

No, he may be Padomaic, but he's not a Daedra. He's actually almost the anti-daedra in the sense that the daedra are the ones that didn't participate in creation and creation was Lorkhan's idea...

Jyggalag is Anuic, but that doesn't make him an Aedra.
