I am playing Morrowind after playing Oblivion, and I realized something, that Morrowind only has a fraction of the Daedric quests that Oblivion does. Why? A lot of daedra are mentioned in books and dialogue, but not actual quests. What about Namira, Sanguine (his daedric quest could be the Threads of the Webspinner, but that's a Morag Tong quest, which is under Mephala's domain), Peryites, Nocturnal, Hericine (although technacilly, the main quest of Bloodmoon could be considered his quest...), Clavicus Vile, Meridia, Vaermina, and Hermaeus Mora?

There are 7 quests with some really nice rewards. Most of thenm You'll get in deadric shrines by activating the large statues in some of the shrines. There is also one, which you will get in the Morag Tong headquarter by speaking to the guy by the alter.

You can see the full walkthrough http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Daedric_Quests

I know that, but what about the rest of the Deadric Princes (and don't tell me there's not room for them. There must be atleast a dozen shrines that are not already used as quest locations). I want to know why those seven (Azura, Boethia, Malacath, Molag Bal, Mephala, Sheogorath, and Merhunes Dagon)., and not the others.

I believe those are the only Daedra that the Dunmer buy into. Azura, Boethia and Mephala are thought of as "good" Daedra because they recognized the forming of the Tribunal. Molag Bal, Sheogorath, Mehrunes and Malacath are the "bad" Daedra and make up the four corners.

I don't think they recognize Meridia, Nocturnal and the rest, although I'm not sure. If you like, I can move this to the Lore forum. You'll get a much more informed answer in there.

Ah, I guess I'll move it anyway.

The seven Daedra feature so prominently in Morrowind because unlike the other Daedra they have influenced it's history. They were the seven that accompanied the Velothi exodites to Morrowind. The three Good Daedra instructed them and the Four Corners of the House of Troubles tested them for weakness so that the Chimer would be strong.
The other Daedra on the otherhand have done nothing for them at all and as such their relevance to the Dunmer culture is non existent.

Cyrodiil on the otherhand, has always been a little bit more varried in it's faith. The Imperial city was described as the home to a thousand cults although Oblivion somewhat failed to bring this forward. Because of this diversity all the Daedra would also have a cult or two and not even secretly out in the wild, but in public.

Though I don't think this qeustion really can be answered from an in game perspective because Oblivion doesn't go much into the details and texture of the world.

The rest is probably on mainland Morrowind. Maybe there's only one Daedra-connected shrine per Daedra per province.

There is no mention of the other nine Daedric Princes in Dunmeri literature of any import outside of http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_text/vehk_teaching.shtml#3. The names of the other Princes of Misrule are not even mentioned in dialog, whether it be ion Vvardenfell or mainland Morrowind. I cannot see any reason to assume additional daedric worship outside of the Anticipations and House of Troubles other than extrapolating what is seen in Cyrodiil into Morrowind proper.

Nevertheless, the TR Morrowind project may feature quests for some or all of the remaining Princes on the mainland. Reason being that daedric quests would not be justifiable there otherwise, since the 3 and 4 already gave some quests to do on Vvardenfell.

That also explains why there's only statues of those seven in Morrowind.

I thought I saw Hermaeus Mora mentioned in a book (On Oblivion, I think), and when you get cured of vampirism, Molag Bal mentions how he had to pry the cure out of Vermina. So why not have the rest of the Daedra in Morrowind? Also, why doesn't Azura have any worshipers in her shrine, considering it's one of the most beautiful sites in Morrowind?

I see no reason as to why any Prince should hand out quests to anyone. Especially if you aren't connected to them or their cults in any way.

I have to agree with you there Villfarelse. It seems very.. unfaithful (couldn't find a better word for it).

The Dunmer do not worship the other Daedra.

And so they do not build shrines to them.

It's the same reason you don't see temples to Osiris in Peru.

All her worshiper jumped ship when Almelexia came around. If you notice, the only "good" Daedra that anyone pays any mind to is Mephala, and that is only beacuse the Tribunal still needed the Morag Tong as a vital tool for their own needs. The other two were effectively replaced by Vivec and Almelexia, who stole their worshipers to fuel their own power. That is why the prince of plots' shrine is in such disrepair, he had no worshipers left to maintain it after the Tribunal's rise to power..
