Daedric signs on bonelord belt

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 5:53 pm

On the belt buckle of bonelords you can read the daedric signs for UOS (Yoodt Oht Seht). Is their some (known) lore meaning to this or is this a simple developer signature like the wormgod pipes?

Yes, this was done. Basically this are abbreviations for the different schools of magic.

In clockwise order the letters on the seal mean:

MIS (=Mysticism, Yakem is replaced with Iya as usally)
ILL (=Illusion)
CNO (=Conjuration)
ALT (=Alteration)
DES (=Destruction)

Why Restoration is absent though it resembles one of the main fields of study (namly in Anvil) is unkown.


PS: If somebody is able to read German, I can offer a http://www.scharesoft.de/joomla/almanach/index.php/Daedrisches_Alphabet that is to my knowledge the completest base of all Daedric letters found in Morrowind and Oblivion. UESP and the IL both have also articles, but not as many examples ;)
