Daedra stranded on Mundus?

Post » Sat Apr 23, 2011 11:05 pm

Hey lore-forum. Been trying to stay out of the way incase any Skyrim info is floating around (want to stay spoiler free) but I need a little help.

I'm wishing to play an Oblivion character that is ether Golden Saint or Dark Seducer, but i like to try and keep characters lore-friendly. So i'm not exacly sure how to do it.

My initial concept was a Dark Seducer or Golden Saint that Sheogorath had somehow found a way to trap in Tamariel 'forever'; either for his amusemant over the ensuing antics or as a punishment for some imagined or actual slight. Thing is, as far as I know the Daedric Princes have little power outside their realms. Is this isea managable in any way?

Also; how would a Daedra of this type relate once they found that they were stuck in Tamariel? Would they be hostile and kill any mortals they encountered? What do you imagine would be the general 'existance' of such? How would they spend their pretty-much eternal time?

While I wait for repsonses i'll go and try to sort my graphics drivers. Again. le-Sigh.

Daedra can be, in a way, trapped on Mundus. If mortals summon them, it can last for very, very long periods of time. Their reactions to mortals would typically be hostile. Golden Saints are a great example, as you can find them out and about in the wilderness of Morrowind, and they will attack on sight.

Once a daedra's body is killed, their animus will return to the waters of oblivion. So even if the daedroth in question ends up stuck on mundus (say, by walking through an oblivion gate into Tamriel. See the kvatch questline for an example), their one death away from going back to oblivion. Of course, Daedra don't exactly like experience of the waters of oblivion, and thus they have plenty of reason to avoid it.

There is nothing wrong with playing a Daedric Being in Oblivion,especially a Golden Saint or Dark Seducer, Sheogorath is the embodiment of free will and choice for a Deadric Prince.
A Daedra from Sheogoraths Realm would be familiar with mortals and could blend into Mundus as an Altmer or Dunmer fairly easily, People would just assume some of the more hostile comments were made because the Daedra was a snooty high born Elf.

Sheogorath is not about free will or choice. Look at his realm. "My realm, my rules!" You aren't even allowed to commit suicide. Sheogorath is about chaos and madness. Even if he was, the rules of Mundus still matter, and no Daedra can enter uninvited except during the Oblivion Crisis.

Mortals of Tamriel are not so blind as to confuse an Aureal for an Altmer, and Mazken and Dunmer don't even look alike at all. Completely different skin colors, extremely different eyes, different body types and different facial structures.

Hell, mortals can tell the difference between a mortal in full Dremora armor and a Dremora in full Dremora armor. I don't think anyone would make that mistake.
