Hey guys, now this is just a possible idea for a cult of the daedric prince Mephala-my favourite daedric prince.
Now i know that the Morag tong, the morrowind assassins, already worship Mephala as their patron, but do they worship her for all of her themes? For example in the book, Vivec and Mephala it explains how Mephala is known in the west as the "demon of murder, six, and secrets. All of these themes contain subtle aspects and violent ones (assassination/genocide, courtship/orgy, tact/poetic truths); Mephala is understood paradoxically to contain and integrate these contradictory themes." I am no loremaster, but from what i've read the morag tong worship Mephala for her assassination themes, and not for any of the qualities relating to six.
I read somewhere about an interview with a spider cultist, (i have not played elder scrolls online) where the cultist explains the different roles within the cult of mephala, about the widow, deathweavers e.t.c., but i was wondering if these cultists understand mephala's sphere of influence, which is known to be inaccessible to mortals, and that as mentioned earlier integrates the contradictory themes of murder, six and secrets.
I was thinking maybe an idea for how someone joins the cult is that they are born to. As these people develop they begin to naturally use the secret arts of mephala, but they do not know this. They subconsciously understand how these arts of murder, six and secrets can be joined, but to others they cannot explain it, it would be explaining the very nature of themselves, however these people cannot be comprehended by others and they also do not comprehends their morals, as they develop.
When Mephala notices them as one of her blessed, she calls them to one of her cults, which are obscured throughout the lands. Under Mephala, they develop and learn to hide their nature to others, but they, unlike most others, understand mephalas sphere of influence and her motives and become part of her obscurity. They cannot explain her sphere truly to others, as it is similar to a normal human explaining their own existence.
Thats just my idea, there are probably other, better ones. But anyway let me know what you guys think and thanks for reading!
