DAEDRIC PRINCES OF THE SKYRIM AU
DAYS OF WORK COMPLETED!!! Have some short descriptions of each Prince - and a quick tidbit - all Princes can assume a feline form, but some choose not to.
Hircine is the Hunt and the Prey, the fear and terror of being pursued, and the thrill and joy of pursuit. He is teeth in the bowels and blood on the tongue. The Father of werewolves is based on a wolf and a stag.
Azura is Sun and Moon, Day to Night, and all transitory periods therein. Crowned with roses of her own flesh, and touched with stars. The beloved of Dunmer and Khajit is based on a maned lioness.
Peryite is pestilence and plague, illness and crawling death, and all else is mystery. He once appeared as a dragon, but such a form is beyond him in the lands of Skyrim. In these current times, he appears as a Skeever, covered in boils and growths.
Clavicus Vile is bargain and trickery, treachery and lies. But Clavicus Vile is warning and wariness, care and concern. Two faced and two headed, it is said that he was once one headed, but a mistake left him attached to another - but none know which is which.
Hermaeus Mora is knowledge and knowing, memory and forgetting, and things better never known. A keeper of secrets, and a bringer of madness, but a true neutral Prince. He is known for his many eyes and tentacles.
Mephala is lies, murder, and the doings of the night. They weave a web of seduction and death, but to what end only they know. The spiny-backed orb weaver/black widow is also known as the Androgyne, a patron of those who see gender differently.
Molag Bal is the King of Strife, of Schemes, and Harvester of Souls. He desires nothing more than to have all mortal souls in his cold clutches. The komodo dragon based Prince is the Father of Vampires.
Boethia is he who deceives and she who is treacherous. The cobraconstrictor would love nothing more than to overthrow authority, but can be settled by great tournaments in his name. She is also patron to those who change gender as a serpent sheds their skin.
Ithelia is the Forgotten Prince of Paths, found only in old scripts held by Hermaeus Mora. He claims she would have destroyed and rewritten the world to something horrible, but can the Prince of Memory be trusted when all his knowledge would have been made moot?
Jyggalag is the Lord of Order, unrelenting and mysterious. Little is known of this Prince, other than his hate of Sheogorath...
Malacath is Lord of the ostracized, bringer of vengeance, and ultimate Chieftan to all Orcs. Despite his bloodthirsty nature, he loves and cherishes his mortal people, once fathering a child with an orc. Sadly, that tale is a tragedy, but to this day Malacath wears the warpainted paw print of his son.
Meridia is the burning glory of the sun, bringing life and light upon the world, but also scorching rays upon her enemies. As one of the most morally righteous Princes, many favor her and her hatred of the undead. However, her strange form and lack of a volume control can be offputting at times.
Namira is the Lord of cannibals and corruption, and Mother to all sorts of scuttling creatures. She delights in darkness and sundry, and blesses her followers with her wicked appetite.
Nocturnal is the shielding dark of the night, and the hidden shadow. She is forgotten faces and void itself. And the nightingale is luck and chance - well loved by thieves and assassins alike.
Sanguine is a party animal in the worst possible way - the Prince of debauchery will drag the most pious of cats and make sinners of them. Despite this, he is not evil - he just has wildly different morals. He is also one of the most personable Princes.
Vaermina is one of the worst of the Princes - a lover of tortures both physical and psychological, and will inflict pain and suffering on anyone and anything. Her too-long mouth produces nightmare inducing venom and fog.
Sheogorath is Prince of chaos, cheeses, and calipers. He is king of pranks, both harmless and harmful, and has a mind few can understand. His appearance is strange - an unknown creature, perhaps an ape, split down the middle, with cat ears. He has been quoted as saying “nya” often.
