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.

DE, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree, even though our opinions may not be as different as we think.

What I'm trying to say is, it's easy to sit here and say you could worship a daedra such as Hircine, but if you lived in Tamriel could you really make that choice? None of the daedra, not even Meridia, value human life at all. They are unpredictable, Hircine could as quickly have you killed by a bear as he could turn you into a lycanthrope (if that's what you really want). The player character is unique in that his dealings with the daedra always turn out well. Only Boethiah would accept a follower that worshipped her only for their own benefit, and that's because it's basically her sphere.

Granted, it's the same with Azura. You don't want to get on her bad side, and she demands dedication if you are to benefit from her worship, just look at how her priestess in Skyrim has to live. None of the daedra are always evil in everything they do, but it's hard to be perceived as 'good' when your sphere is rape. I actually wouldn't consider Hricine an 'evil' prince, his sphere is necessary, as are all of the daedra's.

In reflection I guess what I'm trying to say is: if you were to worship a daedra such as Molag Bal or Mehrunes Dagon then you can't say YOU aren't evil. Can you imagine some of the rituals these worshippers perform? You are right that the daedra's spheres cannot be changed, but that doesn't justify their actions. The daedra might not be 'evil' but they have no 'human' morals. No morals combined with immense power usually doesn't bode well for mortals. The daedra certainly have too much power for Tamriel's good. I think why some daedra such as Azura and Meridia mentioned so much in discussions like this thread is becuse their spheres are more justifiable and Azura definelty looks after her worshippers. However the destruction she caused my killing the tribunal would have made Dagon proud. Azura's not good, but on the daedric moral scale she does pretty well. I guess it all comes back to relativity...
