Which Daedra/Aedra Would You Worship? Options

[Elisabeth Hollow]

If you had your pick of worshipping any Daedra or Aedra, no matter how large or small they were, which would it be? I also apologize if this thread has been made before.

Mine would be a tie between Meridia, Azura and Mara.

Shor.

For everything else, he is the All-Father to Men and Tamriel. It was he that conceived of the idea of a world and entities that were not a mere extension of himself.

As pointed put by Uleni, the Daedra are their spheres, the spheres are their Daedra.

The Aedra sacrificed parts of themselves. And so made something fundamentally beyond themselves. For all that the Daedra represent change and the Padomaic aspects of Aurbis, they are themselves unchanging.

Sheogorath, in his Madness, spoke of this, and how a change to the fundamental nature of a Daedric Prnce was a task of proportions that no Daedric Prince could accomplish on his own.

Shor does not acknowledge such things. In so far has he originated an idea no other could conceive, he, quite literally, fathered creation. And to do so, he invoked a moment of Inception upon the other Aedra. Magnus drew the plans and the architecture. But Magnus realized the Trap, knew it was not of himself, and that he would be changed by it, so he fled, and tore through Oblivion with his brethren to flee Shor's trap.

Akatosh also recognized the trap, and impacted into it to bring it order. And for his sacrifice, and his power, and his control, I would end up worshipping him, whether I was Man or Mer or Beast. But especially if I were Dov, for then it would be his power to shape reality that echoed from my lips.

But it is one thing to shape Reality. It is one thing to define it, to hold it, to be recognized as the one that stands highest within it.

It is quite another to Create Reality. To be the one that conceptualized it. To realize the potential of it. And to make something that is beyond yourself in order to bring it about.

And thus is Lorkhan the Spirit of Nirn, and truly deserving of the title All-Father. For our parents bring us into the world, screaming and wailing at the cold and the light and the sound, to know injuries and sickness and sadness and pain and suffering. Such is the crucible of life. But it is worth it. For their are joys to experience and wonders to amaze and knowledge to gain and wisdom to earn. And nothing with value comes free.

Shor promised us a journey, and that the reward on the other side would be ours to determine. It comes with a price. And so I would thank him and honor him for it. For existence is this, and no more.
