"If you believe what Phrastus of Elinhir, the 'Old Goat of Elinhir,' wrote in the book he smugly called 'History,' you would think that modern society has little respect for the Daedra. 's reverence stems from a certain instinctive distaste for the Forgotten Lords, a distaste based on unspeakable cruelty that occurred thousands of years ago.
This is absurd on its face. Ask him ('Palastus the Old Goat of Erinhell') the farmer in the field, the shoemaker in the shop, or the lawyer in the office, if they fear the Daedra because of the ancient customs of the wild elves, You'll get a blank look. Farmers, shoemakers, and lawyers only fear (be indoctrinated) into the worship of Daedra and Daedra (harmful) because they are told by established religion and academia, and because their neighbors believe the same things.
So, Palestus, does Daedra worship exist only on a forbidden cult level in Tamriel (do only cultists worship Daedra?)? On the contrary, it is easy to see that despite the wishes and opinions of clerics and professors, the folk reverence for the Daedra among Tamriel's folk is universal and widely accepted. Ask the hunter why he murmurs a prayer to Hircine as he draws his bow. Ask the gardener why she wants Mephala to protect her vines from slugs and worms. Ask the guard why he summons the valor of Boethea when he draws his sword. One need not look hard to find the worshipers of Sanguin during the great carnivals, or at any time to find the devotees of Hermoeus Mora among the scholars.
What about the Ashlanders of Morrowind, who still worship the so-called Good Daedra? What about Menevia's Spirit Wardens who follow Azura? There are also the Jovial Lambasters of Remen who glorify Karavicus Vile, an exclusive group dedicated to worshiping the demon god Karavicus Vile in Remen. The cult has established a local outlaw community. What about the Outlaws Refuge, which provides shelter to all outlaws who 'voluntarily' pay their dues (gold or jewels)?
In fact, what about the Khajiits of the Southern Kingdom? Far from giving up on the Demon Gods of Annihilation, the Khajiit tribe of Elsweyr openly worshiped them, making little distinction between Holy Spirits and Demon Gods. The Khajiit acknowledge the benevolent side of the daemons, treating them with a minimum of respect and frequent admiration. Azula is the object of fervent worship by the Khajiit sorcerers, Sheogorath caters to the cats' taste for wild mischief, and the souls of the dead are placed in Namira's control.
However, Palastus would have you believe that the mere mention of the Daedra makes every mortal in Tamriel cringe in fear and mock my work when I show him what a charlatan he is. Or we can explain his narrow-minded hostility in another way. Didn't Palastus try to win over me at the Dragonstar Conclave of Antiquarian Scholars? He said that day was the 16th of the Chaoyang month (Love Day) and suggested that we meet up later in the evening to 'properly celebrate the day of Sangean's summons'. I believe that when I rebuffed Palatus's obsequious overtures, he made it a personal matter, for soon afterward his unwarranted criticism of my work appeared in the journals. Well, yes, maybe there is an explanation. ” - "On the Persistence of Daedric Veneration by Lady Sinaba of Tanes".
"Among all civilized races in Tamriel, the Daedra are reviled; the reasons why their worship is forbidden are well understood and, as this series of essays will show, based on historical events. Although there are The opinion of Sinaba, a so-called scholar and self-proclaimed lady, but the (historical) evidence supporting my claim is irrefutable and generally accepted by all credible scholars of antiquities.
The Altmer, the first organized worshipers of the Daedra, were also the first to worship the Daedra. This may have started with a small group of Ayleids - these elves who left the Summerset Isles to create a separate culture in central and southwestern Tamriel (referring to Saint Veloth's departure from the Summerset Isles to found the Morrowind Elves Civilization's grand pilgrimage)—in some cases primarily to circumvent the constraints of Aldmer regulations, which prohibit (in all aspects) the worship of Daedra.
As Ayleid culture prospered and grew further away from Alinor (Summerset), in the last thousand years of the Mythic Era, the Daedra cult established itself (migrating to Tamriel) in the heartland (roughly west of the Imperial capital). The area around Rodir) established a foothold among the high elves and spread. The Aedra are still widely revered, and most Ayleid (wild elves) may still continue to pay homage to them, but cults loyal to the various Daedra sprang up across Tamriel, were recognized, and then celebrated. Unlike the Chimer (elf), the Ayleid elves do not distinguish between "good" and "evil" Daedra - in fact, even some extremely evil daemons are greatly revered, especially when worship of them When adopted and legalized by the Ayleid kings and nobles.
The widespread worship of the Daedra among the elves in the heartland was particularly bad news for the Neder tribes who later arrived in Tamriel. The Ayleid elves enslaved the migrating human tribes, at first only occasionally, but later became a systematic practice. The Neder found themselves under servile masters who in many cases worshiped daedra - including those who encouraged slavery, oppression, and abuse. At the hands of the Ayleid elves, human slaves found themselves the subjects of such Daedra-inspired 'art', such as 'flesh sculpture' and 'gut gardening'. In fact, the aversion to Daedra worship that prevails in most human cultures in Tamriel may have begun during this period.
The Alesian slave revolts of the early First Era were largely sparked by the desperate rage of Ayleid elven slaveholders over their Daedra-inspired cruelty (mass events). The Ayleid King, who was allied with the (human) rebels, was primarily a worshiper of Aedra, which partially explains why Queen Alessia placed the Ayleids at the head of the alliance when the Ayleid Elven Empire was overthrown The elven worship of Idra was incorporated into the First Empire's worship of the Eight Holy Spirits. Her newly born First Human Empire of Cyrodiil outlawed the worship of the Daedra demon god, and the remaining Ayleid elves who worshiped the Daedra were completely exterminated once they were discovered.
Therefore, by the middle of the First Era, large-scale Daedra worship had disappeared in central Tamriel. The only ones left were the Chimer in the northeast of the continent and the orcs (former outcasts) who worshiped Malachis as their ancestor god. ). Elsewhere among humans, elves, and orcs, Daedra worship exists only on a roughly forbidden scale (outlawed cults). Ms. Sinaba’s assertion to the contrary is full of lies. ”—"Daedra Worship: The Ayleids" by Palastus of Eilean Hull.
Two ancient books with completely opposite opinions were opened and read again in the year 4E 201 where the Lord lived. Obviously there is something interesting about it.
With the change of human dynasties, the belief in demon gods has spread from organized religious orders to the people. It has become the belief of many groups, families and individuals. The mainstream belief in Pan-Continent is undoubtedly the Eight Holy Spirits.
In the eyes of the lord. Compared with the demon gods who have been "alive" since the beginning of creation, the Eight Holy Spirits are "a blank bone brainwave of death, a divinity shaped by the faith of Nirn in this world." Simply understood, the devil can "actively seduce and teach" believers' faith behavior, while the Holy Spirit is the "passive shaping and distortion" of believers' collective faith behavior.
Therefore, the devil can come, and the Holy Spirit is most likely an incarnation.
