    Legends tell of a meeting between Sheogorath, the Mad God, and Mehrunes the Razor. The Mad God asked him, "from where do you come? I remember that you were birthed in the bowels of another place, yet try as I might, I cannot recall its name." "Lyg," the Prince replied, before realizing his mistake. "Lyg my balls," the Mad One uttered with a cackle, as the Prince of Destruction knelt and wept bitter tears. The Sovereign of the Shivering Isles had deceived him yet again.

    The Khajiits were created by Azura, and Azura collaborated with Shor to mortalise the Anuic Et’Ada like Auriel and Magnus inside Mundus. Shor focused his attention on Auriel, while his sister fought Magnus in the outskirts of Mundus, ripping his eye out and throwing it to Nirn, though both Magnus and later Auriel were able to escape, while Azura fled to Oblivion, and Shor was killed by Auriel’s son Trinimac on Nirn. So it makes sense why the Khajiits would oppose Mehrunes Dagon, as he opposes the very existence of Mundus.

Or if not the firstborn, definitely a son of Auriel as opposed to a grandson or later descendant. And we know this because the current and past generations of the Aldmer regard Auriel as their first ancestor, and Trinimac as their second greatest. And yeah, Shor was definitely morally wrong for attempting to trap his brother on Nirn, especially since Auriel had done no harm to Shor beforehand.

    As is said in Skyrim: "You, mortal! You are worth speaking to! ... Dagon does not declare a winner while a pawn remains on the board! Kill. Him." If you take the Razor it doesn't matter how you reply, Dremora still attack. Which is the only way to get a key to enter the temple to fight again and get the treasure. So... You are rewarded for fighting and the loot is good. Destroy or be destroyed. Change will come either way...

    An important thing to note regarding all Aedra and Daedra I think you captured well is that they are above mortal notions of “good” and “evil” they are not evil, they simply ARE. They are simply agents of Order and Chaos - Stasis vs Change, Stagnation vs Fluctuation. There’s as many positives in change as there are negatives. They are all simply parts of the universe, no more defined by mortal terms of morality as the wind and water.

    Mehrunes Dagon is one of the most interesting Daedric princes in my opinion . On the surface level he may seem like this stereotypical devil like figure but he’s so much more than that. He is ambition manifest. Revolution and change. These are fundamental aspects of society. If nothing ever changed there would be no forward progress and that’s why his influence is so important. The only thing that stays the same is change. Not just in the Elder Scrolls but in our real world as well. If Dagon was real, our world would be absolutely drenched with his influence across all of history. That’s what makes him so interesting to me. You could say he’s a “necessary evil” although I personally don’t subscribe to the idea that he’s completely and utterly evil. Just necessary. Wonderful video Drew as always! Keep up the fantastic work ❤️

    Really loved this, cant wait to see your take on Molag Bal, playing through ESO and the other games, I always got the impression that he was lying about hating mortals, and was trying to prepare them for some far greater threat down the line. How he would occasionally cheer you on when you defeated his minions, and some weird mixed messages about his goals. Almost like challenging and losing to the mortals was his actual goal, all those souls tortured just to temper the living.

Even his most rabidly loyal follower among the Aedra, Trinimac, was confronted, defeated, and "corrupted" by Boethiah and became the Daedric Prince Malacath. Afterwards, his own people, the Orcs, adopted and still follow a code and way of life not too dissimilar from the primitive Nords who followed Shor (Lorkhan). Interesting that.

    You should have started with your definition of "evil." "Profoundly immoral/wicked" is one such definition. I would argue that Dagon *is* a force of nature and change and a necessary part of the Mundas and mortal life on Nirn. However, insofar as Aedric beliefs, western beliefs and majority of inhabitants of Nirn we interact with, Dagon *is* immoral. He has no regard for the life or the beauty. His apathy, which you argue is his saving grace, is actually the reason he *is* evil. He will kill tyrants and topple regimes....but he will also kill a farmer caught in the way, a child who has done no crimes, and it won't stop him from his goal. That apathy, that immorality, is why he is one of the evil daedric prince's, and indeed why they are considered the evil beings of the Aubis.

And his design is really awesome. I hope he can return similar to how he did in Skyrim in TESVI I doubt we could ever see him in a roll as big as it was in oblivion

    Def love the content on the Daedra would be interesting to see your take on if a few of the princes were to try and team up to get to tamriel to take it and inevitably turn on each other and create a level of chaos that would make Sheogorath blush with the princes literally fighting each other like Molag Bal v. Mehrunes Dagon and others in the fight as well causing Jyggalag to come back and restore order

    i finally have a few home brew daedric princes written out, it took me forever lol, but i was just trying to be original. So far my favorite is still unnamed, but she is the daedric prince of spite and preservation, and her realm of oblivion is said to be a beautiful alternative to any mortal kind’s afterlife, it is said to be a garden of eden, lush and never ending, full of color, love, and life. Her creatures are some kind of bug, i’m not sure exactly what yet but i like the idea of daedric honeybees bc of real life pollination, and they pollinate weak mortal minds that are vulnerable to influence and anxiety about their loved ones leaving them, ultimately causing them to ritually murder or “sacrifice” their loved one with what i would call a assassin’s creed type hidden knife but made of a daedric tree’s root, that manifests as her bees pollinate the mind of the “worshipper”. the bees promise eternity with those they sacrifice, as well as never having to worry about losing the love they have, and the ultimate act to please this prince is ritual sacrifice and suicide, basically a murder suicide in the name of the prince. But the truth is that when done, they are trapped in some sort of flower with their loved one, a fusion of both soul and consciousness, where they can’t move or think at all, almost like the ritual soul traps the victims, but instead of the soul cairn they are sent into a soul gem daedric flower in this garden of beautiful nightmares. The prince knows all too well that she isn’t well known or widely worshipped anymore, and she knows her power comes from recognition and worship, so she traps mortals in her garden for eternity, promising the rose petals of love for eternity, only to sink the thorns of truth in, when the victims cease to be anything but a decorative battery for the prince. That’s right, the whole oblivion realm is populated with victims from current to a millennia ago. The only thing there that is of the prince’s own creation, is her “mother tree”, the source of her power where she stores the sap of mortal spite and she uses it to create her daedric bee’s, sending more and more out to add to her collection. She is the prince of weak minds in a way, convincing mortals to act in her benefit with a lie, until it completely infests their soul sprouting the murder weapon straight from a wooden thorn out of their wrist. There is no denying this outcome, those infested have been observed, and chosen carefully, so the prince has a 100% success rate. She is the prince of spite, or the preservation of “love for eternity”, or at least that is what they believe when they commit the ritual murder suicide, when in reality she uses mortal’s weak minds to create batteries of power that adds to her pool of power, through acts of spite. let me know what y’all think, i know that’s a long read, and i might not have conveyed my ideas the best, but it would be so cool to hear some feedback, or some of your own ideas! another great video Drew! keep up the good work! much love!

    I always saw the Daedric Princes as embodiments of concepts. Dagon is ambition in physical form, Molaq Bal embodies cruelty and domination, Shaeogorath embodied chaos and whim. We may view these concepts as "evil", but they are also necessary facets of life. It would be like calling a tsunami evil. Sure I don't like what the tsunami has done, but the tsunami only did what tsunamis do. Same with Dagon. Sure his invasion in Oblivion was "evil", but only cause we viewed it as such. For Dagon, he was only doing what he always does, trying to see his ambitions through.
