Its About Time We Killed A Daedric Prince!

Post » Wed Feb 12, 2014 10:35 pm

Now I know what you're thinking. They are an embodiment of a certain aspect of mortal lives. This is true, but you take it far to literally. They do embody aspects of reality, but they do not perpetuate those aspects. Domination would exists whether Molag Bal exists or not. Each Aedra and each Daedra is capable of expanding upon the realms they embody. Azura is no less capable of being a dominating [censored] than Molag Bal. Boeitha is no less capable of destruction and change than Mehrunes Dagon.

Now that I have my interpretation out of the way. Its about time we killed one of these horrible beings. They have been defeated in the past. They are not invincible and they are not infallible. Three mere Chimer, powerful as they were not only went against the will of three of the Daedra, especially Azura, but one of those Chimer single handed defeated Mehrunes Dagon. Although said Chimer had some power of a god. So it is possible to defeat them!

Now its about time we found a way to finally kill a Daedric Prince. Now we know that the opposite is true. Daedra, and even Aedra can be created. Malacath and Sheogorath are examples for Daedric princes who were created. Arkay and Talos are examples of Aedra who were created. Now if they can be made, they can be unmade. I would argue that even Lorkhan now that his heart is destroyed is no longer in existence, but we are unsure of his total fate. Each Daedra is also their realm, realms can burn and be unmade.

Jyggalag or Hermas Mora are likely the only two princes to have this knowledge if it is not common knowledge. Since they had to imprison Jyggalag it is unlikely that killing a Daedric prince is common knowledge. Although much time has passed and many artifacts created. Hermas Mora may have some idea of what it would take, and Jyggalag would have calculated the possibility even if it was a low chance.

It is about time we shook up Tamriel and Tamriel lore. For thousands of years, the mortal races were subject to the whims of these so called gods. Its about time we fought back, like the Argorians of the Oblivion Crisis.

Even if it were possible, why would we want to? The daedric lords are selfish, flawed, and most importantly interesting.

Yet they are untouched by their actions. Sure they have a few wounds to lick, but at the end of the day they just pick back up and go about their usual. Now imagine the story lines that could come from killing one of the Princes, how that would affect a mortals relations with Oblivion, how the Princes would act and what they would now have to adapt to, mortality.

Ahahahahaha
No, how about we don't.

Also ALMSIVI wasn't simply "Three Chimer" they were gods who drew power from Lorkhan's heart and Almalexia was badly hurt after the battle even with Sotha Sil by her side and a good portion of Mournhold was destroyed.

But why would I want to kill one of the most intesting group of characters the series has to offer? Thats the kind of shananiguns that put me off World of Warcraft.

A TES with no Mephala? Or Sheogorath? Thats not an Elderscrolls game I want to be a part of, no sir.

I was thinking of Princes who would have more of an impact and would give other princes more light to shine. Imagine Dagon finding a way to invade once again only to actually be killed! The shock it would bring to us, the players, and of course the shock it would give to our favorite gods. Of course I am not saying they should kill Dagon. I think a Dumner focus quest would involve taking on Azura in the name of the false tribunal. Once again, just ideas of story lines that could be used. I also only propose killing off one. Although I dont think killing pyrite or Mephala would have that large of an impact.

The amount of criticism they would get from the fanbase! The large amount of lore they are breaking!

The whole point of the Daedra is that they are immortal, they can not die what-so-ever, sure their bodies can die but they can only get their body back once they leave the waters of Oblivion, which is pretty easy for them. The Daedra are absolutes, you can't kill something that's an absolute.

The Tribunal are gone, the Dunmer have returned to worshipping the Anticipations/Reclamations...which includes both Mephala and Azura.

I disagree, Dunmer prosper from hardship. The Tribunal made them soft and too comfortable.

Also, you suggested the Dunmer killing Azura in the name of the False Tribunal. Who would still be worshipping them? Especially after the red year. Vivec could have prevented it, but allowed it to happen. Almalexia went full on cray cray and turned on her people. Sotha Sil....he was ok. He just didn't do anything.

I disagree with you and the end of the Tribunal is good for them, it's teaching the Dunmer to depend on themselves and to grow stronger whereas under the Tribunal they became weak and decadent. We also have that the Reclamations were originally the gods the Chimer worshiped before the rise of the Tribunal, hell most of Dunmeri society, culture and politics was thought up by Boethiah, Azura is the spiritual side of the Chimer/Dunmer and Mephala created an organization that helps stabilize Dunmeri politics from escalating into full blown clan and/or house wars.

How about we kill gravity for being so unfair and inconvenient? :shakehead:

Mortals are weak. and are a short-term smudge individually. They shall always be subject to the Daedric Lords.
