Who are your favorite Daedra Lords and Nine Divine?

Post by Frogmander »

Topic, I would start a poll but there are more than 10 options XD basically who is your favorite Nine Divine and Daedra?

Nine Divine: Akatosh, Dibella, Arkay, Zenithar, Stendarr, Mara, Kynareth, Julianos, Talos/Tiber Septim
Daedric Lords: Azura, Boethiah, Clavicus Vile, Hermaeus Mora, Hircine, Jyggalag/Sheogorath, Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Mephala, Meridia, Molag Bal, Namira, Nocturnal, Peryite, Sanguine, Vaermina

For me it would have to be:
Daedric Lord: Jyggalag/Sheogorath
Nine Divine: Either Akatosh or Kynareth, really not sure on that one...

What are all the other UESP members favorite Gods? :D

Aedra: Arkay. Because it rhymes with 'Parkay'.

Daedra: Mephala. Who knows? No one does! That's why!

Casandra: At the moment, the deadliest weapon at my disposal is a goblin's head on a stick. I'd be worried if this was the plan.

Divine: Zenithar, his name starts with a Z...

Daedra: Azura, she's just the Daedra that I understand the best. It helps that she helped the Neravarine.

The irony is that, if I wished to express any sense of insanity, "Sheogorath" would have been the sanest choice...

I don't care much for the Divines to be honest, I'm more of a follower of the Tribunal Temple, although not so much the Tribunal itself. More Saint Veloth and Saint Nerevar, and the lesser Saints, particularly Saint Olms (<<<). In saying that, I also 'follow' the Anticipations, Boethiah (Almalexia), Azura (Sotha Sil) and Mephala(Vivec), particularly the first two. Those deities, in combination with Ancestor worship, are what works for me.

I could side with Duruza in this matter, but the two best: Daedra: Azura and Divine: Talos..

For my favorite Daedra... I would have to go with Azura as she seems to be the most amicable of all the Princes and I like her spheres of magic, mystery and such. Malacath is probably a close second, but the way he seems to not care about non-Orcs combined also with the possible truth of the argument that he isn't actually Trinimac and wants to keep the Orcs outcasts forever hurt his case. After that it's Hermaeus Mora, as knowledge is nice... But Hermaeus is a bit too ruthless about it for my tastes.

I'm much less sure about my favorite of the Nine, though. It's a tossup between Akatosh, Julianos, and Stendarr for me.

I don't really care about the divines, i'm indifferent towards the whole lot of them. I do like Azura now that is a Daedric Lord that I would be willing to follow (actually almost all of my characters follow Azura) sure she does some bad things but nobody is perfect and overall she really does care about her subjects.
So we have come to solve every squabble in the village personally?

You truly cannot beat that logic, my dear.

My favorite Aedra: Stendarr. Why? Because I'm a fighter at heart, and "a deity of compassion or, sometimes, righteous rule by might and merciful forbearance" just rings with my soul. And my blade.

My favorite Daedra: I would like to say I would probably identify most with Jyggalag, being an orderly freak myself, but I think there is something charming about a prince of dreams and nightmares, so Vaermina has always caught my eye.

Although I do agree with Duruza, in that the Tribunal and the saints of the Dunmer are exceptionally fascinating. Saint Olms is definitely an interesting character, so add me to the fan wagon!
Huzzah!

Daedra: Sanguine - I hear he throws some wild parties.

Aedra: Zenithar - A deity that's into making money? I'll buy that for a Septim!

Daedra lord - Vaermina because his realm Quagmire sounds awesome. Having reality shift every few seconds sounds fun.

Nine divine - Akatosh because he's a dragon.
For the Empire!

Aedra: Kynareth because for making useful KoTN boots to make the annoying animals leave you alone and because of all the healthy plants she stands for good for alchemists And Akatosh for contributing to the creation of the Amulet of Kings and for being an awesome flaming dragon

Daedra: Sheogorath/Jyggalag for being the prince of madness/art/crafts/creativity/order/history retaining/wisdom/inventions , Azura for being one of few daedra princes's who care for the mortals of Nirn/Mundus and for Azura's Star ((which I never use since I do so much enchanting it's better for soul gems/sigil stones)) and lastly Nocturna for the awesome Skeleton key which saves me duping/buying Lockpicks and for the Grey Cowl of Nocturna which the last Grey Fox used to lift the Daedric Curse associated with it and in my realm of fantasy that contributed to breaking Sheogorath/Jyggalag's curse and allowed him to shift between the two without waiting for the end of the next era.

To add a further spin to this, I think I'd rather follow the Altmeri Pantheon than the Nine Divines. They just seem more interesting, particularly Phynaster. Who knew walking strides could be the key to expansive lifespans? 8)

I wouldn't, since I understand part of the Altmeri religion to be the idea that it's terrible that Nirn exists and everything should go back to the stasis of Anu. And where's the fun in that?

Sheogorath, and i can't say i really like the Nine Divines. I'd have to choose their Skyrim Counter parts "Kyne" and The lost God Shor, Shezzar, Lorkhan etc.

Aedra: Arkay
Daedra: Molag Bal
I enjoy their conflicting nature.
But I also do enjoy Hircine, due to him being the most noble of the Daedra.
