Please rename Meridia to the Prince of Life Energies.

Contrary to my profile pic, ol herma mora is my favourite prince.

Azura, for fairly obvious reasons. I think s/he is just about the only Prince who genually -cares- about mortals, even though she still uses them for her own ends. How the Dunmer (my race of choice) can see Boethiah as a "good" entity I do not know.

Thank you, I was wondering what to call Meridia.

Hermaeus Mora, Patron of Xarxes, Keeper of the Ogma Infinium, Demon of Skyrim, and My Sworn Liege.

I howl my loyalty to Lord Hircine, Master of the Hunt.

Sheogorath Madness rules

Sheogorath. Gotta have respect for someone who can make your bowels explode with laughter before ripping your intestines out and then using them from an impromptu game of jump rope.

Hircine is impressive, Boethiah is cool, Sheo and Sanguine would be great guys to have around at a party, and I want to give ol' Dagon a big hug.
But ultimately my favorite has got to be Hermaeus Mora. I'm a svcker for knowledge, mysteries, and tentacles. :spotted owl:

sheo's got so much time in the lime light, plus he just reeks of lorkhan, but it would be cheap to pick him so i think i'll go with hermas mora (spelling?) I mean he/it almost had the nords talked into being elves back in the day! Plus he has forbidden knowledge...thats the best kind

Secret knowledge and madness are the most popular spheres amongst forumites? This is completely unsurprising.

Hircine hands down. Father of Manbeasts and werewolves, creator of Lycanthropy and a the phisical manifestion of the Hunt. He has a cool name, a cool realm and a badass persona with badass servants and an amazing disease.

Hircine, after reading about him in the infernal city

Clavicus Vile. Despite the ol' screechy voice acting in Redguard he was so refreshingly forward in his intentions in contrast to the other Daedra.

I don't need any forbidden knowledge, crazy people, or rabid dogs. Azura FTW!

Used to be Sheogorath, but the Shivering Isles completly ruined him for me. Such a tacky representation of madness, really awful.

Now's it's a hoedown between Meridia and Azura. For guiding the Nerevarine, Azura has my praise. But Meridia's greeting in Skyrim; "A new supplicant approaches" really impressed me. She knows how to act awesome.

For me, it's a tie between old Sheo and Azura. Azura because, as some others said, she seems to be the only Daedra who gives a crap about mortals. And Sheo because... well he's the [censored] Prince of Madness. (Cheese!)

Can't choose. I feel like they are all spotted owls in one way or another.
Maybe Sheo, since at least he doesn't seem to have much of an ulterior motive behind his douchebaggery.

Yeah I agree with this, I thought Sheogorath in oblivion/skyrim was just way too "zany". His portrayal in Morrowind was a bit neater, I liked the idea of madness incarnate speaking in a calm, articulate voice (which nevertheless demanded the utterly bizarre).

I'll say Azura, but with Malacath (I like playing orcs) close behind. Sanguine gets an honorable mention for having a very enjoyable quest in skyrim.

Have to go with Sheogorath. This is quite a bit because of Shivering Isles; I don't see that dribbling madman on the throne as actually being Sheogorath. I like the idea that Sheogorath could be Haskill, at least in part, however whether he is or not is largely irrelevant. I think the whole of Shivering Isles was put on to drive the PC mad, which presumably worked if they did indeed become 'Sheogorath'. Because of my interpretation I think it more fitting to say Sheogorath's domain is more that of sanity in general. He tests people, much like the Dunmer see him as, and those who fail are now his. Those who pass get to go with his respect, at least until they challenge him again.

Hermaeus Mora is my lord, and the only one that can steal my Imperial, an avid book keeper and devourer of knowledge, from the Nine Eight.

Wow, Sanguine doesn't have a single vote? Ol' Uncle Sanguine? XD
