Do the daedric princes ever invade each others realms? : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Sat May 28, 2011 10:48 pm

I've always wondered if they ever fought each other sometimes?

It's certainly possible, although the vast majority of our lore is from the mortal perspective, and therefore offers little insight into Daedric affairs not involving Mundus. We do have a tidbit of information suggesting that there are wars in Oblivion.

Your lore of those disparate beings that you lump together as "daedra" is based on nothing -- lies and half-truths told by traitors, rebels, miscontents and weaklings who have had the misfortune to become involved with mortals. Or with Mehrunes Dagon. Do not speak his name to me again. The Master of Scum. The pawn of every Prince of true power, the dupe of every schemer in the Nineteen Voids. Do you think you know anything of the politics, factions, feuds, vendettas, wars of Oblivion? Do you think Oblivion such a simple place, that the tale of the loyalties of a great people such as the Mazken could be encompassed in a brief tale?

It happens, but as the quote provided by CP suggests, we don't know anything about them.

There was the bet made between Azura and Sheo in Morrowind that the player gets involved with, along with the twelve pieces of the daedric artifact that was crafted by one to be given to the other but as far as war I don't think so, even the Shivering Isles was a special case.

of cours they do havent u played shivering isles jyggylag got cursed to become sheogorath by all the other deadra princes of course thats not really invading is it more like cursing

Its implied that it wasn't a daedric curse, but rather related to Sithis or a similar deity, according to lore.

I don't count it because Sheogorath was being invaded by an element of himself, or rather, Jyggylag was forced to deal with the thing he hated: change.

It's heavily implied that Jyggalag used to lead crusades against the other Daedra, or at least they perceived the threat, which is why they trapped him inside Sheogorath.

Also....nineteen voids? We're up to seventeen Daedric Princes now. I wonder what the last two represent...

Jygglyag wasn't a daedra, if I understand the lore right, he was one of the first precursors, along with Sithis.

No, he's two creational gradients below Sithis. He's right below Lorkhan and Auri-el, with the other et-ada.

The two Daedric Princes of Ignoring Nirn.

Technically 16. And there's Lorkhan, but it isn't really confirmed if he's a Daedric Prince. So at most, 17.

EDIT: 16 known Daedric Princes.
