Elder Scrolls Lore: Ch.30 - Daedric Prince Malacath

[@Marinanor]

Malacath doesn't seem so bad after all. Just terrifying as shit.

[@MCookmcmc]

The fact that one of malacath's artifacts purpose is to banish deadra which are basically demons, he protects the outcasts and is considered evil is just ridiculous. Imagine if scourge was used in the oblivion Crisis.

[@twistedvtuber9894]

It was used in the oblivion crisis, just not in cyrodill

[@jumbobagginsjellogo4475]

I theorize that Scourge was made by Trinimac

[@noahboddie3482]

Its important to remember the ones he rejects are the people led by boethiah, or the dunmer. Probably a contributing factor as to why hes seen negatively there. Its also important to remember he is ally to the spurned, not the common man. I could be remembering the wrong lord but he once had you hunt down the DESCENDANT of a guy who wronged a follower and had him killed. Additionally, he is patron to more than just orcs. Violent creatures such as ogres considered under his wing. I agree he isnt exactly evil but hes not really good either

[@reviewthis18]

I've always found the story of the orcs to be sad, they do seem like a good people and Malacath seems like a very goo God. It is absurd that Boethia is considered a good dedra, yet the God who speaks for the outcasts is considered evil and on par with the God of destruction and the god of rape. Malacath is one of my favorite dedra

[@TheNovakv23]

Kind of makes sense, though, doesn't it? If Malacath were generally accepted and considered a cool dude, he wouldn't be the God of the Outcast anymore.

[@mojonation1487]

There's a reason the three good daedra are surrounded by the House of Troubles.

[@hault360]

I don't know why, but from what I've seen I'm the only person whos favorite deadric prince is Sheogorath CHEESE FOR EVERYONE!!!

[@reviewthis18]

***** Favorite, yes, but everyone at least loves him

[@cappecfh]

***** You're kidding right? Everywhere you go on the topic of TES there are always at least 5 comments about Sheo and cheese. Not that it is anything wrong with that, but he's probably a fan favourite.

[@jagartharn7130]

I actually love Malacath. His only problem is he's pragmatic to a dangerous fault. But he loves and takes care of his own, instead of treating everyone like a dirtbag.

[@thornedroserade4574]

Malacath is my favorite daedric prince

[@maxpauley750]

Malacath teaches his followers to live an honorable life which is pretty cool compared to the other princes.

[@noisemarine561]

Jagar Tharn Azura is also a great Daedric entity, she tries her best to help the Dunmer

[@erodiumminer]

@@theavidgamer6213 but isn't the reason why she cursed them because they turned their backs on her? When they broke off from the traditional society and became chimer they had three princes they followed. Boethiah taught preserverance, Mephala taught a more pragmatic (and less honorable) way of fighting, and Azura taught culture (It is entirely possible that I'm wrong, if so please correct me). Doesn't Azura turn the chimer into the dunmer because they turn their backs on the three daedra, instead preferring the Tribunal?

[@CafeHueyLong]

@@micahharford7088 you're a sociopath

[@briansanders8122]

The Daedric Prince of underdogs.

[@jakejumpover]

Weird he is known as evil... while he saves Nirn regularly. He seems the most human actually

[@alexmilchev5395]

jakejumpover he wouldnt be an outcast otherwise.

[@Loftur1172]

He's considered evil by Dunmer particularly; their beliefs are the basis for the perceptions of human races in Nirn.

[@CoinSlotKitty]

He is an angry twisted form of trinimac... he still does things trinimac would have done but is mostly evil Kind of like how meridia is not really a daedra but a aedra that was cast out Only trinimac was killed then rose again an angry evil version of himself

[@Theology.101]

I know its literally half a decade later.... but, Its more about how Orcs interact with everyone, which is violence. Similarly, Ogres, Goblins, and the Reachmen all worship Malacath. He’s also Anuic, so most humans dislike him

[@kingdedede933]

@@Theology.101 Well, it’s not like they get a good wrap from the other races to begin with to be honest. They’ve been considered animals by their brethren since their conception, religious beliefs and “survival of the fittest” mentality constantly bring tribes to fight one another (which is mostly because of him tbh), they get used for political might despite their best efforts to correct themselves into worshipping Trinimac (which is during ESO), then are considered animals until 40years before Morrowind. And mind you, Morrowind is 207 years before Skyrim...and still people see them as animals. But regardless of all this; Malacath continues to look after not only the Orcs, Orges and Reachmen but every person Spurned or Ostracized, even if they don’t believe in him. TLDR: Malacath is pretty chill despite being able to make Ghost Riders through The Bloody Oath (again shown in ESO)

[@caityreads8070]

How is Malacath seen as one of the evil Princes? There's a difference between evilness and hatred of enemies- he is the prince of the outcasts, and naturally has many enemies, as do his followers. I fail to see why a Daedric Prince who was evil would create a weapon which could potentially save the world many times from the wrath of his counterparts.

[@seanedwards9616]

+Northern Fried Chicken Because many consider the Daedra evil because they aren't part of the Aedra.

[@caityreads8070]

sean edwards Well maybe but that's not an actual reason, what has he actually /done/ to warrant being considered evil other than be a daedra?

[@seanedwards9616]

The problem is that there is no real answer to what is evil. This is not black or white situation. there are certainly Deadra that are evil and there are some that aren't. They aren't part of the mainstream religion and they are all considered evil because of that.

[@caityreads8070]

sean edwards Yeah I got that the first time, but are there any /actual/ reasons you'd consider them evil, looking at it from the perspective of someone who doesn't live in Tamriel

[@seanedwards9616]

I consider him as evil as anyone else as can be. There are evil Deadra but to me Malacath is more good. It's like any alternate religion in the world. They are thought to be evil by them because they are different.

[@corvifred]

Malacath, Meridia and Sheogorath are my favorite princes. They seem to be the most interesting and Malacath and Meridia seem the least evil to me.

[@andrewlevin6331]

+Ikki Adrian really? Can you tell me your source on that? I'm not saying you're wrong, i'd just like to know.

[@voiddragon3758]

+Ikki Adrian And they were both Aedra at one time.

[@theonemrtom101]

Mine are Sheogorath/Jyggalag, Malacath and Molag Bal.

[@andrewlevin6331]

Tom André Svellingen Why do you like Molag Bal?

[@discountplaguedoctor88]

+Andrew Levin Who WOULD like Molag Bal unless they were sadistic?!

[@ShoddyCast]

Question of the Week: Do you think Trinimac and Malacath exist as separate entities, or do you think the tale of Trinimac's transformation by Boethiah is literal? Maybe you think it is something in between? Let's discuss it in the comments below!

Trinimac still LIVES! I seen it

[@hyperbros96]

They might both exist, who knows. Deities like Auri-El and Akatosh manage to exist as separate aspects and be one being, one oversoul, at the same time. All sorts of metaphysical events, be it dragonbreaks or mantling can cause fracture or union of deities.

***** "BIG, DWEMER, IN THE BEYOND! TRUST SEPTIMUS, HE KNOWS THAT YOU CAN KNOW! WE HAVE SEEN IT!

[@TheBobberland]

I'm a good believer that boethia split trinimac into two. With Malacath being split off and the other half of trinimac being currently restrained by boethia herself. I don't think her power is strong enough to fully be able to keep trinimac imprisoned, so it would be easier to split him into two, wouldn't it?

[@rudyj8948]

Malacath is hands down the best Daedra; the duality of his character as well as the depth that his curse affects him and his people is one of the most intriguing dimensions of Skyrim.

[@JS-eu1co]

Lusty Lavender he is also honorable and keeping his word is his job.

[@IRAMantisShrimp]

As an Orc player, Malacath is my favorite Daedric Prince, and probably the one God in the plane of Oblivion who I will offer my sword to. It doesn't matter to me if the Aedra prostrating, milk-drinking High Elves will tell me no, for I spit on them and drive them aside in the name of Malacath. We are the spurned and ostracized, and so to dare to force me, a child of Malacath, to conform to weaklings is the greatest insult.

[@PheonixLeFey]

Here, here.

[@IRAMantisShrimp]

***** Pssssh. I think the best part about your comment is that you are the one who is taking it too seriously.

[@njintau]

IRAMantisShrimp As a Breton and blood-kin to all Orcs, I will drink to this! :D

[@MrSoup-zs4rd]

I am not a follower of Malacath, though I deeply respect him, I follow Sheogorath. His creativity and approach to situations has taught both Vermina and Hircine a valuable lesson and his creative gift to Man and Mer is what makes war tactics and different combat styles possible

[@ProneCreature47]

I respect Malacath as he is one of the few Daedra that looks out for his followers but my heart belongs to Lord Hircine. Although there's times where I don't know what race truly fits me.

[@TonberryQueen]

Wow. Malacath seems extremely cool.

[@blackheartthedarklord6428]

I am currently playing as an Orc and his backstory is that he was banished from his tribe due to him being labeled as "weak" so he made his way to Skyrim to try to get a better life, only for him to be caught up in the game events and becoming the Dragonborn. It's only when he met the cursed tribe and was noticed by Malacath and he proved himself to the Daedric Lord that he was indeed strong. So my Orc traveled across Skyrim and visited the other tribes and learned more from them and continued to become stronger. Bonus: I own the house in the swamp and named my Orc Shrek. He was named that since he was born the smallest in the bunch but now every tribe in Skyrim honors his name as Malacath's champion.

[@selfsurprise]

I love the way ShoddyCast make narrative links at the end of each episode, connecting all of these disparate elements and treating the lore as complex and interconnected. It never feels contrived or half-arsed, it makes you curious to understand the relationships between the various characters, peoples and deities of the Elder Scrolls games. I just wanted to show my appreciation for the work you've put into these videos. Thank you :D

[@RatchildUK]

Malacath, witness our deeds. Easily my fav Daedric Prince and race. I really hope he has a big role in the next TES game. Maybe a visit to the Ashpits and more Orcy goodness.

[@vaporsmansfield6757]

I watched season 1 at my previous job, and recently been catching up with Season 2. I just want to say you never let me down, and each episode goes from strength to strength, I cant quite get enough of you work, thanks so much!

[@gameboxheroes215]

Hey Shoddy Cast! Your lore videos are very well done, and i thoroughly enjoy all of them. I would not consider myself a "lore buff", but i have always found the lore behind the stories in videogames to be very interesting. I love the elder scrolls and fallout, and i cant even tell you how much i appreciate the time, effort and care you guys put into not only the video and its content, but the love of the lore as well. Thanks so much for the work you guys do, keep up the awesome work, and talos be with you!

[@idonthateutube]

This is really good. I've been very critical of your series in the past, but this is fantastic in covering the basics.

[@sugarapplesweet]

This one was really wonderful to listen to and watch. I've never experienced such a balanced exploration of this Daedric Prince, and I look forward to every upload to come out of this series.

[@playlistnation2005]

Are you going to do the Aedra after the deadra? pretty please! :)

[@jay15951]

wobbly868 i think that was an overview he did one for the daedra as well so it wouldn't be too far to think theyd go into the specifics of the aedra specificaly akatosh i'm still hoping and waiting for one on the dragon wars

[@darienhouse8625]

***** Well the Aedra did create mundus and Akatosh defeated mehrunes dagon at the end of oblivion so they could change a lot if they wanted...

[@felixfeliciano7011]

***** Akatosh was directly responsible for the dragonborn as it was he who blessed a mortal with a dragon soul. Kynareth gave them the Thu'um, or more specifically the ability to speak in the dragon tongue as dragons do. In the TES 4, there is a crusader DLC which had you questing all over Cyrodil in search of Aedric artifacts and the main quest line of Oblivion also required an Aedric artifact (or more specifically the blood of a divine). Aedric shrines are often simple and very rarely would one be able to speak with an Aedra as one would with a Deadra, but it is by visiting these shrines that diseases are cured and blessings bestowed - something Deadra seem to be incapable of doing. As for why they don't play a more direct role in the TES universe, it is explained away by saying that in the creation of the world, they sacrificed a great deal of their power, which weakened them greatly. However, it is a very common cliche in fantasy games that the "good aligned" gods play a very indirect role in mortal's lives. They are very hands off and when they do interfere, it is usually in the way of bestowing great gifts of power to mortal heroes. The "evil aligned" gods on the other hand, try their best to play as direct a role as they can, seeing themselves as the only ones worthy of rule or worship. They do not always manifest themselves on the mortal planes but they do send their minions to do their work - something that the good gods almost never do. It isn't that Aedra prefer stasis. Indeed Kynareth and Akatosh changed the balance of power on Nirn when they gave mortals the edge they needed to defeat dragon-kind. Deadra are also not always beings of change as Malacath, Jyggalag, Molag Bal and even Mehrunes Dagon are pretty consistent in how they deal with things. They either want things to act in a very specific way (Malacath and Jyggalag) or they just want to rule over everything (Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon). It is worth noting that while the Deadra often have similar goals... they more often than not, work against each other rather than with each other, where as the Aedra are all fairly united (or at least worshipers believe them to be). That is often another common fantasy cliche. Otherwise, I do agree with you. Deadra are far more "interesting" than their Aedra counterparts, but it is a bit more debatable who are more "important."

[@playlistnation2005]

Felix Feliciano I'd be cool If the Aedra had their own minions I guess the vigilant of stendarr are kinda minion but I mean like lesser Aedra. Maybe they could be angels or something that would be cool.

[@bornofmaya92]

playlistnation2005 technically they do. the Aldmer

[@crownprince76]

I am surprised that Malacath and Orcs don't see dark elves as implacable enemies...

[@johncisney15]

There was one story I remember being fond of when I was playing Skyrim, but I hardly remember anything about it. I don't even remember if it was canon lore or introduced in a mod I have, but it was a very sad story and I'm hoping someone else who knows it can remind me what it's called so I can find it again. Basically, it's about an honorable orc warrior who was widely considered good and righteous, even to those who normally spurn the orcs. Somehow or another, a Daedra wants to corrupt him and take his soul. I'm not sure what Daedra it was. It might have been Sheogorath. Anyway, the other Daedra wants to take this orc's soul away from Malacath, who takes great pride in this orc's accomplishments and considers him one of his best children. So that Daedra, again Sheogorath rings a bell here, makes a bet with Malacath that if he can get his favorite servant to commit a damnable offense, he gets to take the warrior's soul. So he tricks the orc into killing another orc, a woman. This of course, is a damnable offense and Malacath has no choice to relinquish the poor orc's soul to the other Daedra, and it ends with that Daedra decapitating the orc warrior and carrying his still alive, weeping head into his realm in Oblivion Anybody know what I'm talking about here?

[@TheJman423]

Yeah its from an in-game book, 16 Accords of Madness, v. XII

[@johncisney15]

Thanks

[@EvelynNdenial]

when he says malacath's realm came into existence when malacath did is partially correct, since deadric realms are created by, in personality and likeness resemble, and are contained within their respective deadric lord. when you go to a deadric realm you are essentially entering that deadric lord. this is why oblivion is so different from nirn, instead of being an independent dimension they are actually a part of the deadric lord. this creation of realms within themselves is how they get around the fact that making something like mundus consumes the creators power.

[@blazdevl]

so malacath is the daedric version of talo?

[@moret25]

+apache hehe yes! XD

[@ArthaxtaDaVince777]

+apache and he killed Shor who is Lorkhan.....

[@legamingguitarist3876]

+ArthaxtaDaVince777 He did when he was Trinimac, not as Malacath. The Heart spoke taunted Trinimac and Auriel before Auriel fired it from his bow.

[@ArthaxtaDaVince777]

LeGamingGuitarist Oh wow, so the only reason Trinimac became an Daedra was because of Lorkhans possession or whatever? But then if he is that powerful how was trinimac able to defeat him.

[@vehksotha4913]

+ArthaxtaDaVince777 No... false lore man. The Aedra (Nine Divines) destroyed lorkhan and he created nirn.

Here goes part four of my Daedric quests Step 1: read about the artifacts of Malacath Step 2: Find an Orc settlement Step 3: Become true blood kin( So even if you're already an orc) Step 4: Take part in a ritual to gain acces to the Ash Pit. Step 5: Choose 1 Find Malacath inside deepest reaches of the ash pit, fight him, and gain the hammer volendrung Hear of a dungeon that houses scourge, and find it. Find the small part of the ash pit that houses the memory of Trinimac and find his sword. After 1 of these options you are warped back to nirn. End of quest.

[@AjourChannel]

[@FatrickAteman]

so the altmer are the reason there are wood elves snow elves deep elves dark elves orcs aylieds and breton's? damn they really get around i guess also i love how one of his artifact is about banishing evil deadra who want to invade than they go on about how evil he is

[@HallowedKeeper_]

I could have sworn I read that Malacath was one of the deadra that are considered good along with meridia and Azura and one more but I am not sure

[@ericcox2161]

Guys your work on this is totally outstanding plz keep up this work.

[@JDG602]

I love the story of the Orcs it is tragic and super creative especially comparing it to any other cliché backstory/lore of orcs that seems do always be the same. It is cool the way they made them elves hence the name Orsimer such a cool idea in my opinion.

[@sethraelthebard5459]

"Do you know hows the first Orcs came to be? They were once elves, taken by dark forces. Tortured, and mutilated; a ruined and terrible form of life. Now...perfected..." -Saruman The White Ores have ever been the evil outcasts of fantasy lore. But look closer, and we see that the interpretation of Malacath is an amalgam of their collective character. The spurned, the afflicted, the accursed.

[@Meiscarth]

I enjoy how this is a more dignified version of his creation, "This was not the end for Trinimac however. The remains of the fallen god were transformed". Remains = Boethias' excrement, and after rubbing Trinimac's remains upon their bodies his followers were changed as well. A prince born from poop which smeared his followers with said poop to create the Poopsimer..I mean the Orsimer. Love the narrator. One of the better lore videos I have seen out there.

[@MrCortar]

[@teamrocketcircle8067]

yeah in oblivion you had to save some of them for his daedric quest

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

People_And_Me Perhaps they are just Feral Orcs?

[@DuskyPredator]

Velociraptors of Skyrim The thing is that I don't know what they are connected to Orcs or Malacath and was hoping that there would be some explanation of why Malacath gets you to do the mission.

[@VelociraptorsOfSkyrim]

DuskyPredator They both have tusks on the lower jaw and have similar color, don't they?

[@felixfeliciano7011]

DuskyPredator Interestingly enough, this is not an easy question to answer. TES lore says that Ogres are "Malacath's Creatures" but they don't really go on to say that Malacath created them or merely that, Ogres being a generally disliked species, they are considered outcasts and thus fall under Malacath's sphere of influence. This question has been asked before and it is a good question to ask. Bethesda simply hasn't supplied an answer for it yet. Considering that Ogres (and Ogrim for that matter) were only encountered in a small part of the TES single player games, they simply didn't feel the need to really expand upon them. Perhaps there will be more lore about them in ESO since they are mobs in that game?

[@StellariumSound]

Much praise to the voice actors of this channel.

[@sharriffchaplin8357]

Thanks for this Video Malacath is one of my favorite Princes.

[@hyperbros96]

I hope once you finish with Daedric Princes you will go onto more interesting deities like Lorkhan, different aspects of the Great Dragon, Satakal, HoonDing maybe. But most importantly, do damn Lorkhan, he is basically they key to everything in TES.

[@Geistlake]

Definitely HoonDing. The God of Make Way is the greatest name ever.

[@hyperbros96]

Geistlake HoonDing is pretty interesting and he had some great incarnations. ShoddyCast would also be able to insert Redgaurd plot into HoonDing lore video, and Redguard has a very nice plot.

[@Geistlake]

Lorkhatosh Yea, hoping they'll mention Cyrus, don't think they did yet. Dude's a badass.

[@hyperbros96]

Geistlake Yeah, Cyrus is pretty fucking great. On a side note, I think that making TES VI in Hammerfell and letting you play as HoonDing would be a good idea, and since Bethesda introduced gimmick of Thu'um in Skyrim, they could replace it with gimmick of Sword Singing.

[@Geistlake]

Lorkhatosh I'm thinking we're heading more towards the Summerset Isles or wherever the last standing Tower will be/is seeing how the things with the Aldmeri are evolving.

[@Connorcj1]

Never thought much of Malacath - or most deadric lords - they kind of sucked in Skyrim and only some were fun in Oblivion. But after hearing this, he sounds like he's right up my alley. I'm surprised ol' Malacath isn't asking his followers to butcher Boethia followers left- right and centre.

[@lucac6677]

I think Malacath is a representation of Trinimacs anger which Boethia formed into a separate entity. If that makes sense?

[@CrimsonFox36]

seriously... I LOVE the narrator's voice!! The "Wise Sage/Oracle" Sound of his voice is Very fitting.

[@tastymeatballs2783]

These lore episodes including the Fallout ones are so good, you could fool anyone to think this was made by Bethesda them self. But it's amazing how much lore & stories that exist around the Elder Scrolls series. Bethesda has built one of the best over-worlds in RPG history. Every book, every person has a story to tell, everything has an origin. That is what I love about the Fallout & Elder Scrolls series.

[@LarsSod]

Good episode. Looking forward to when you'll talk about Akavir and Uriel Septim V's invasion.

[@magnus1383]

I find it amusing that it's theorized that all the daedra in the house of troubles were originally something or someone else: Molag Bal was a Dreugh king, Malacath was Trinimac, Sheogorath was Jyggalag, Mehrunes Dagon was the Leaper Demon King. The last one is not mentioned in-game, however, as far as I am aware, thus it couldn't be counted as canon.

[@blazednlovinit]

[@chisasa9509]

Trinimac will always be a part of Malacath. Though threw Boethiah's proving that; actions speak louder than words, what we know as our Heros or Enemies can and will change. I love that Trinimac had the chance to fight and attack Boethiah in human form. What an Honor. Long Live Elder Scrolls!

[@Messiah114]

Honestly if the orcs followed Trinimac - a banner of strength, honor and unity. They could be something else bigger than just living spread out in tiny strongholds. Can't wait for the Rise of the Orcs some day in the lore.

I think the transformation is literal, he was eaten and then spat out transformed.

Interesting how Volendrung's appearance has changed since Morrowind/Oblivion. Now it has a distinct, rough, jagged & brutish appearance. Perfectly fits the Orc archetype.

[@Nix-ze8ey]

I really hope you guys get the chance to do an episode on Mephala. I find her/him to be one of the more interesting Daedric Princes

[@pavlejovanovic5278]

Great job I like this series so much ;) ! I wonder if that other artifact is a part of a mod or is it really possible to find in the vanilla game,I mean the Scourge the one handed mace.And I think that Malacath could be the Trinimac's other side the evil side, because when Boethiah killed Trinimac she/he probably devoured (with his body) his soul as well,at least the good parts and left only the darkness and sorrow,also the anger but the evil anger I dunno I would like to hear more theories and stuff,anyway GREAT job guys keep the series rollin' :D !

[@wildghoul7485]

Ya guys should do an episode about Isgramor where you talk about the 500 companions and then make one about the Snow elfs/Falmer.

[@jzargofromelsweyr4733]

I'm addicted to these lore videos ^.^

[@dhreddedsick2849]

I hope they make a game that involves malacath a bit more cause I think he is one of the few actually pretty damn good(not outright evil) daedric princes

[@Herf18]

Another great video!

[@MrWhatdafuBOOM]

Malacath always gives me Kratos vibes for some reason.

[@SarahNelsen]

hey shoddycast i was wondering if you ever plan on doing a few lore chapters about the dragonpriests and miraak...ik alot of ppl have done lore about them, but id like hear it from you. also no one has talked about krosis so if you can find stuff on him and talk about it id love it. that and miraak and his acolytes.

[@carolinafierros8572]

Nice ! But still my favorite daedras are "Hermaaaaeeeeus Mooooooora" and of course, Noctunal.

[@teineeva7868]

Simply awesome, as always.

[@LegatusLucius1994]

as always playing this video the Rogue one trailer popped up and I was surprised why is the black guy that thing worrying Seeker armor from Dragon Age

[@cultofmalgus1310]

Probably one of the few Daedric Princes worthy of worship.

[@discountplaguedoctor88]

It's pretty clear that Malacath's status as one of the Four Corners of the House of Troubles is weirdly fitting in regards to strength; Malacath clearly loathes weakness, and the Dunmer recognize that.

[@sladewilson9770]

at first my most hated daedric prince was molag bal then i learned about trinimac becoming malacath now my most hated daedric prince is boethiah

[@nowan6221]

Both are equally evil. Molag Bal is a giant rapist piece of dung while Boethiah is a cheater and a deceiver that will probably backstab it's champions someday.

[@عبدالله-ب5ج7ر]

@@nowan6221 my favourite is hircine

[@TheKassaapparat]

I'd love it if you'd do the lore in the first games, such as arena and daggerfall, since i doubt many have played them or will play them.

[@shadowpower69]

Malacath is a neutral god what with his sense of honor. Also, Scourge? A powerful artifact for *banishing* daedra? Only a truly evil being would create something like that...
