In any case, from Anuiel and Sithis sprang the et'Ada, or the Original Spirits. This is because Anuiel was using Sithis to ponder himself in every possibility. The Aldmer see the Aurbis as Anuiel, the Soul of Anu the Void.Īt first the Aurbis was turbulent, and things did not last.

It contains the realms of Aetherius and Oblivion, as well as others in less structured forms. It is the Gray Center between Is and Is Not of Anu and Padomay. The interplay of Anu and Padomay created the Aurbis. The Aldmer called the void "Anu." In fact, Anu and Padomay (Is - Is Not) are part of the void.

This is Sithis, a state of nothingness and constant mutation. In the beginning there was only void, a vast nothingness. So here is roughly what happened during the Dawn Era. Thanks to our resident loremaster, Proweler, for helping me drawing a straight line of those myths. If you read " The Monomyth", " The Anuad Paraphrased" or " Sithis", most of these myths are conflicting each other. Thank you for not corrupting the Aldmeris (Elven) language! You will have to do some guessing by the context. Instead, here I will use "Daedra" for both singular and plural. The word "Daedras" is essentially wrong, and I will never use it. I will not break this tradition here for clarity's sake, but one amendment has to be made. In the written tradition, the word "Daedra" has somehow evolved to mean "a single specimen". The singular form of "Daedra" would be "Daedroth", but very few known texts ever use it. It was initially meant to denote the whole kind, not a single creature. Aedra are often called as gods, while Daedra are called as demons.Ĭontrary to popular belief, the words "Daedra" and "Aedra" are plural. Aedra in this case means "ancestors." Most of the time Daedra are looked as the opposite of Aedra. This is roughly correct, although the exact translation of the word Daedra is "not our ancestors." While we are talking about Daedra, we cannot overlook the Aedra. From the book of Morian Zenas, " On Oblivion", Daedra is an old Aldmeri/Elvish word for strange and powerful creatures of uncertain motivation that came from the dimension of Oblivion. One unique characteristic of the Elder Scrolls world is the existence of powerful beings (et'Ada) known as Daedra. This guide is dedicated to Morian Zenas, the greatest Oblivion Explorer that was lost somewhere in the Daedric Realms some years ago. You live too short, and so are wonderfully sharp and inventive. We have lived too long, and grow dull and complacent. Thus do we bargain and plunder and steal to gain these treasures. Thus do we so prize the fruits of your mundane and arcane engineering. But you mortals are also potent engines of change and innovation, of desperate and reckless improvisation and industry.

"Mortals are short-lived, ignorant, and feeble by contrast with the Daedra.
