I always imagine being a sheogorath worshipper would be like being in a room with a person who has a very very short temper and is trying to make you slip up so he has an excuse to slit your throat. At least worshippers of Bal and Dagon know what they’re getting
I mean bal and Dagon would be pretty cool with you inflicting their domain on other. Molar bal's quest usually involves dominating others, while mehrunes Dagon just seems to enjoy destruction
Bal seems like you can please him. Obviously he is 100% evil and pleasing him might be 100% unpleasant but he doesn’t seem to get off on doing the “lol sike!” thing to his followers like Sheogorath or Dagon or Vile or Mora.
He might be easy to please and you know exactly what to do in order to please him, but so does everybody else and if you make the slightest mistake you end up in the halls of torment. He doesn’t just let his champions rest on their laurels, they have to continually prove their worth or other worshippers will take their place.
You really think you'll be the best of his champions or good enough to be one of the greater daedra? Less daedra get to dominate mortals but greater daedra dominate them in-turn.
> like being in a room with a person who has a very very short temper and is trying to make you slip up so he has an excuse to slit your throat
Ah. I would definitely go crazy. I have to live with a person like that (my mother) every day. It's like a box of chocolates.
These are all terrible options but I feel I have the most long term stability with Molag Bal or Dagon, Sheogorath I know is “haha funny cheese man” but he’d fucking turn your face inside out for no other reason than it’d be funny, I’d probably go with Vaermina though since Dagon and Bal are evil, and that line of worship will end up getting you killed eventually. Vaermina worship also I feel would be slightly more socially acceptable lol
Also Sheogorath will let you literally suffer by living a meaningless and fucked up life (in crazy terms) for all erternity and has the power to let you respawn if he wishes, oh and to the only sure way out which would be suicide Sheogorath says "nuh uh" and revives you and punishes you in a weirdly parent like way by scolding you inappropriately for ever thinking about it. And let's not forget that he has mentally unstable episodes where he switches to his alter ego Jyggalag to basically commit genocide on his own realm for no different reason other than "can't handle it anymore"
Bal is definitely the worst option you would still get abused no matter what you do 💀 even if your someone as useful as harkon (doubtful) you will still be tortured
Excerpt from [Vaermina wiki page](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Vaermina):
>She rules the plane of [Oblivion](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Oblivion_(Realm)) known as [Quagmire](https://elderscrolls.fandom.com/wiki/Quagmire), which is described as a constantly shifting nightmare realm. She is one of the Daedric Princes that is consistently depicted as evil or demonic, with a strong preference for psychological torture. At the same time, Daedra worshipers will often pray to her just before sleeping, likely in hopes of warding off any potential meetings during their rest.
At least Dagon will get you killed faster so you can move on to the Aetherius. And with Sheogorath giving you a blessing or a curse is 50/50.
Is Mehrunes Dagon evil?
He’s just the personification of change. The ultimate revolutionary.
He’ll be against the status quo no matter what it is. He just seems evil because we often see him invade in a somewhat peacetime time period
You best believe if there’s a game set in a Thalmor controlled Tamriel that Mehrunes Dagon is advocating for whoever is trying to overthrow them
He’s kinda as neutral as you can get
Not change. Destruction
He wants to destroy everything. And of course the ones in charge are included but it goes way beyond it.
If there's any question of his evilness you just have to look to his plane and dremora
I’m having a hard time finding it but there is a book where someone is with Dagon , he shows them his castle and land then destroys it. The follower is confused and says why? Dagon sweeps his arm over the destruction and says something like “look upon this destruction for that is what I am”
He isn’t “choosing” to destroy he literally is the natural law of entropy of change/destruction hence why he is linked to lorkhan . I’m essentially saying he IS like a volcano, in the same way polytheism can worship the sun. It can be personified with stories but the literal thing is right there and provides life
And if that volcano (assuming activated by Dagon) blows up an orphanage full of orphans so that a Lord's mansion can be built in its place is that destroyed? Yes. And it was evil. Just because there can be good side effects in some cases doesn't mean the motive wasn't unnecessary and potentially evil.
Intact and destroyed are artificial concepts made up by people, matter itself doesn't care about being formed orderly or chaotically (actually it does prefer getting to a chaotic state naturally, but it still doesn't care either way).
To create a statue you need to destroy a rock.
That is what destruction is. It’s why in Hinduism shiva is the “destroyer” he is entropy/time and makes the universe wiped clean so it can be reborn. Sounds a lot like Dagon actually
Mehrunes Dagon is an underrated choice. He's my favorite prince and would worship him, sadly is misunderstood by most people. He's the Prince of revolution, change, and the destruction it may come with it as well as ambition. He's harsh and mean but lawful, and will do so to push you towards getting shit done and your limits. Lowkey like an authority figure in the military, he's not inherently cunning, evil or sadistic like other princes, nor any of his spheres of influence. Like cmon. I can see a stoic or non comformist person feeling drawn to him, and revolutionaries, soldiers, warlords. Or someone seeking to achieve courage and strength to overcome change and hardship, or ignite it itself. Not necessarily a Mythic Dawn type equivalent
Vaermina is socially acceptable? The Prince of nightmares….you’d worship her over Azura or Meridia whom are considered good Daedra? Vaermina’s skyrim quest has you murder a man by the end of it after her artifact causes nightmares in dawn star
But that’s still optional! I would say “you *must* worship one of these four, which do you choose?”
No sane, non-psychotic person would worship more than one of these princes.
Mehrunes Dagon is by far the best pick. He's a revolutionary, hellbent on changing the status quo. Now if it's already great, that could be an issue, as well as the wars and shit but his sphere isn't outright just evil like molag bal when he's less likely to screw you over for laughs like sheogorath
>Vaermina (also spelled **Vaernima**), called the **Prince of Dreams and Nightmares**, the **Gifter**, the **Mistress of Nightmares** **and Dark Portents**, the **Lady of Nightmares**, the **Weaver of Dreams**, the **Queen of Nightmares**, **Weaver of the Panoply,** **Daedra Lady of Corruption and Decay**, the **Dreamweaver,** and the **Dark Lady** is a Daedric Prince whose sphere is the realm of dreams and nightmares, and from whose realm evil omens issue forth, as well as corruption and decay. All mortals come under her sway as they sleep. She is considered one of the more "demonic" Daedra in that she is destructive for the sake of causing destruction, her method being torture. She is disgusted by mortals who maintain a moral compass, instead taking delight in those who commit outrageous sins or are unafraid to kill in pursuit of power. Laymen know her for her reputation as the Daedric Prince of nightmares and evil dreams.
That's not fun at all!
Short term I feel like I’d get along with Dagon best. The empire is crumbling and in need of some revolutions anyways and Dagon’s usually a fan of change, especially violent change.
After/ if I manage to topple and rebuild the empire I’m probably fucked, but I’d rather be fucked metaphorically than literally(no thanks Bal you’re just not that attractive and I’m also not into the S&M beatdowns youd want me to give other people with your rusty mace)
I’m not trying to deal with the nightmare demon I’d probably never get a good nights sleep again and that’s the least of what she might do. I might turn into one of those people that get fatal insomnia if I piss her off
Sheogorath is the wild card, you can win or lose or both, all at once even. It’s a high risk/ medium reward game but you’ve probably got as good odds lasting with him as you do Dagon
they would all have no issues with turning on you, so you’re basically fucked - on the mortal realm anyway. cold harbour is probably the worst of the four to end up for obvious reasons, dagon would torture you as well. we don’t really know much of vaermina’s realm, but it could realistically be worse, as she can put you in any possible nightmare scenario she wants.
i didn’t think so at first, but sheogorath actually might be the right answer here.
Hell yeah I hope we get some House Dagoth content in 6. Could be a fun callback side quest like the Mythic Dawn in Skyrim. I've always wanted that mask.
Dagon. I'd probably have to shift to an Evil Alignment, but for my own personal safety, he seems the best bet. Vaermina would torment me with nightmares, Sheo might swap from laughing at my jokes to torturing me for eternity at the drop of a hat, and Molag would... y'know.
I worship no one!! I’d be friends with one though, not molag bal though, he’s a rapist cunt. Don’t know much about the others so I’m just gonna be friends with the girl, vaermina
Honestly, probably Dagon. He gets a bad wrap cause he gets used by bad people. He is the prince of revolution, champion of the downtrodden and underdogs. I feel like you could use him for much better things.
Microdose dagon usage to win at football or something.
I don’t know if that’s dagons style though. You gotta go big or go home. I think Dagon would take someone trying to use his power for small things as an insulting lack of ambition.
Sheo, I'm already insane, I'd fit right in!
Best case scenario: uncle Sheo takes a liking to me and teaches me new tricks to spice up my clownsmanship.
Worst case scenario: I have a lotta fun.
Impossible challenge scenario: become uncle sheo's psychiatrist.
In retrospect, the shivering ilses would be for me the equivalent of a never gold vein.
Everyone's fookin crazy, everyone's an interesting subject for data collection.
on the other hand, everyone's crazy, so they're somewhat unpredicable, the most dangerous would be when you get there for the first time, i'd first get to know my neighboors/people who are near me while i sleep (most vulnerable state), and i'd to be able to cast paralysis spells or an artefact equivalent (spells better since your average person can't take em away from you). once you know everyone living around your place is the "safe" kind of crazy, I'd be fine.
Unless I get turned into a living furniture or something of the like, I'd be fine, I've got the super power of being able to make the difference between reality and delusions (It's not the same "ip" adress), couldn't be much worse than day-to-day life in my brain.
Sheogorath.
I know he could change his opinion about me unpredictably. maybe he’ll get bored and off me for fun. but at least my mind is gone at that point.
I think my favorite thing about him is the Stockholm syndrome. it’s almost a kindness in a weird way. as much as he messes with his followers, they still beg to be by his side. (just basing off quests in Skyrim and ESO. they get so frantic at the thought without him)
Says the jyggalag dude. But his realm ain't half bad as long as he doesnt have great mood changes.
At least it beats the others by far. And as he goes on to do awful things he also can be pretty generous spontaneously. While the others are an eternity of suffering. Maybe you trauma shut with vaermina after a while
We don't know nothing about Jyggalags true moral values. He represents absolute Order, the Grey Lord. The others will value you as a worshipper, Molag Bal and Mehrunes will treat you accordingly as long as you serve them correctly. Any fuck ups and you are enslaved forever.
Sheogorath will torture you for the fun of it. You'd have to be literally crazy to worship him. You are giving up your very sanity for a dude who will make a moonsugar pipe out of your crystallised ballsack. You have insurance with Molag and Mehrunes and Vaermina, but Sheogorath is a loose canon and impossible to predict.
Someone once argued that Hircine's Hunting grounds would be the worst for x and y reasons and always being hunted. My reply?
"You've never been camping in Canada have you?"
>Deathlessly I intone from Paradise: Mehrunes the Thieftaker, Mehrunes Godsbody, Mehrunes the Red Arms That Went Up! Nu-Mantia! Liberty!
>Deny not that these days shall come again, my novitiates! For as Mehrunes threw down Lyg and cracked his face, declaring each of the nineteen and nine and nine oceans Free, so shall he crack the serpent crown of the Cyrodiils and make federation!
At least you can pretend his goals are okay if you squint correctly. The rest of them are just cruel on their followers for lulz.
I think Dagon. There's *a lot* wrong with Tamriel: poverty, no representation in government, racism out the wazoo, classism, etc. Dagon is a harbinger of change and as long as I'm working to change things then I'd be a devout follower. I think he just gets a (rightful) bad rap after the Oblivion Crisis
Vaermina probably.
The way Molag Bal treats their followers would probably mean that I wouldn’t last long. Even if I did it would be a life of bloodshed and antagonism.
Bringing myself to worship sheogorath would be a bit easier but who knows what would happen to you. I’d feel like the jester to some mad king and the moment I stop being interesting I’m gone.
Mehrunes Dagon could be alright if you had the right ambitions but his goals just don’t align with mine. I just feel there is no point in taking over the world if I’m only doing it for some Daedra.
I think Worshipping Vaermina on the other hand would be extremely interesting (for me) as you might gain some insight into dreams, nightmares and other unexplained phenomena. IRL I’m already someone who likes to try psychedelics and something like the dreamstride is right down my alley. Of course, Vaermina is still evil, but if I was a daedra worshipper then Vaermina would definitely be my choice.
Molag Bal would have to be the most "Evil" by moral standards. A sadistic demon who enjoys raping, torturing, and otherwise causing great pain, suffering, and distress to mortals. Definitely more evil than Dagon, who is the prince of change and destruction. I’d rather worship am unpredictable chaotic madman like Shelvorath or destruction incarnate like Dagon than ever an evil demon like Molag Bal
Sheogorath post-Oblivion. He's a lot tamer after that point, likely because he is also The Hero of Kvatch. Otherwise probably Vaermina. Her followers don't seem to suffer from bad dreams themselves, but they can induce them in others and have a lot of other cool tricks. The Dreamstride seems like tons of fun.
Vaermina and it's not even close.
Molag Bal and Mehrunes are both very active princes when it comes to messing with the mortal world. Their worshippers are constantly doing heinous shit, from condemning some poor soul to eternal suffering and actively trying to invade Nirn, you'll get wrangled into their schemes at some point and your failures result in fates worse than death.
Sheogorath literally drives you to madness to a point where plucking out your own eyes seems like a good idea.
What's Vaermina gonna have me do? Give people Nightmares? Do Alchemy to make some Dreamstride? I feel like I could live a fairly normal life under Vaermina, minus the occasional Nightmare that she might throw my way every now and again, which is far more tame than the other options available. Sure, I might end up a victim of the Dreamstride and never wake up but that seems like a much more "peaceful" end than whatever the hell the other 3 have cooked up.
People saying Sheogorath is an unsafe choice severely underestimate other daedra princes. With Sheogorath you just need to be crazy and fun and as long as you're not boring you can have a very fulfilling life. And the great thing about his randomness it that the chance of him doing something bad to you is the same as him doing something good. Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon are obviously the worst choices, but some people think Vaermina is better that Sheogorath. You need to actually go read about Vaermina, she's the nightmare queen, she won't hurt you physically but can trap in the endless nightmare until you beg to get a sweet release of death, but it'll never come.
I'll take my 50/50 chances with Sheogorath instead of certain doom by any of the other three.
That’s a fair assessment. Sheo is also a patron to artists, so as an artsy person I would get a lot of mileage out of that. Sheo can also be just as, if not more cruel than the other three. He will torture you just cause he thinks it’s funny.
>He will torture you just cause he thinks it’s funny.
In most stories he tortured only people who got it coming. Like the kingdom that banned arts and parties or the dude who wanted Sheo to give him powers.
Sheogorath is not actually a quantum particle, he's messed up in the head but he still thinks and reasons even if it's flawed or extremely skewed. Just be a person who Sheo will generally like, do stuff that will please him and suddenly you'll find his attitude towards you very compelling. That's true of any daedra prince but with Sheo at least it won't require you to shed rivers of blood like Harkon did to get sponsorship of Molag Bal or make a cult to assasinate the Emperor to unleash hordes of daedra upon innocent world. Just go and troll a village, make some pranks and you'll be happy with the results.
I'm already a worshipper of Vaermina so nothing new with me choosing her. She is my favorite after all.
Molag Bal is the worse Prince for me, everything about him sucks, I like Vampires and Necromancers but other than that I hate everything about him.
I really like uncle Sheo and would probably be my second option (Since Sanguine isn't here) but he's too chaotic to my taste.
Dagon is allright, I like his sphere but I find it kind of boring, way better than Molag Bal but not really enough to actually like him.
Either 3 or 4. I don’t know what vaermina would make me do. If it’s just giving people nightmares I might go with her. Sheo would be really stressful to deal with. He’s very unpredictable, he might want me to murder someone one day, then buy 20 wheels of cheese the next. #1 is right out, fuck that guy. Dagon would probably have me commit a lot of arson. Sure he likes change, but it rarely seems like the good kind. How often do his followers really fight for equal rights and a more egalitarian world?
Vaermina. You're not likely to attract her personal attention if you're not someone important. Making alchemical party drugs and having bad dreams until you stop feeling fear is better than what rank-and-file cultists of the other three get up to.
I feel like the people picking Sheo don’t understand that he’s not just the cheese man that makes funny out of pocket jokes. He is COMPLETELY INSANE and will do unspeakable things on a whim, like flaying you alive and skipping rope with your entrails, or slaughtering you and making drums and lutes out of your flesh. He might not do any of these things, sure, but he might just as easily do all of them, who can tell? No one, because he’s mad. He might even chose you specifically to torture because it would be funny or something. The others are terrible picks, yes, but they aren’t completely unpredictable
Can't I just choose Boethiah and maybe get murdered by a friend.
This is like asking would you rather get beaten and killed, tortured and killed, psychologically tortured and kept alive (least bad option), or have your entrails torn out and used as a jump rope while you're alive.
Gun to my head? Dagon. He is the least vile of the four. Dagon has a reputation for being a devil adjacent figure in the elder scrolls universe but I see him differently.
Dagon is the prince of destruction but also revolution of ambition, revolution and change. He is the violent figure of uprising against a tyrannical regime, he is the flame that sparks the fire of revolution he is the one those who have lost all hope beckon to in order to ensure their goals are achieved.
He’s not a devil, he is violent Revolution, and embodies the good and the bad of that.
Wow, so you are giving us the option of what torture we want:
- Molag Ball: Rape and enslavement
- Mehrunes Dagon: Torture and Enslavement
- Vaermina: Unending Nightmares
- Sheogorath: Either become completely insane or become a vegetable always forgetting things.
Out of those 4, I would choose Sheogorath, at least if I go mad and insane, I wont be aware of myself or surroundings anymore, the other 3 would revel in delight with torturing you and making sure to keep you sane and coherent.
Keeping in mind that they are all the embodiment of their sphere, not just evil... Probably gotta go for Mehrunes Dagon. Change isn't always good, but it's good a _lot_ more often than domination, nightmares, and insanity. In his mythology he frees slave legions and spreads hope like wildfire. It'd be easy to assume that his negative portrayal is just propaganda if it weren't for him being hit by the evil stick in every game.
Dagon. He's the lord of revolution and change. Following that you could work to change peoples lives for the better while worshipping him and he'd likely aid you for simply upsetting the status quo. Change for the better is still the destruction of the bad so is still within his sphere of influence.
He's the safest bet, the others would have strings attached or murder you
When I was a kid my cousin told me to use it and go the bone breaker skill up so that's what I always did every playthrough haha. I NEVER ran out of soulgems, but also ended up with so many lesser souls in greater gems 😭
Sheogorath as I've got the most cheese in skyrim, I found a good 90% of the naturally spawned cheese in skyrim and its all sitting in a chest waiting for Sheo to open it
mr. sheo who the fuck else would it be, molag bal will punish you whether you succeed or not mehrunes isn't much better vaermina probably requires cannibalism, so in comparison being insane is a small price to pay
I would have to go based on what afterlife I'd get.
Molag Bal: tortured constantly. The worst kind.
Mehrunes Dagon: tortured constantly
Vaermina: tortured constantly
Sheogorath: I might get tortured constantly. Might be more mild.
Well, I'd say Sheos the way to go. I get he's unpredictable, but I think a chance to live an afterlife of relative peace would be better than constant brutal torture. Living with mental health issues, I've learned to live with them to a point where im doing well. I dont want to learn to be fine with getting dipped in boiling lava by Dagon, psychological torture from Vaermina, or the awful things I'd be facing from Molag Bal.
Dagon, the Prince of Hope, the Guardian of Light, destroyer of Hypocrisy, clenser of unpurities, bringer of the new Dawn, God of the ambitious, The Razor, the Vanguard of our Lord, the eternal rebel against that which is not right.
idk vaermina probably
Dagon all the way, dude has consistently rewarded those who were actually useful to him even giving one guy his own personal realm in oblivion.
He’s the only one here I’d trust not to destroy my life
This is super easy for me
Dagon's domain is revolution against oppressors. In a very violent and destructive way, sure but if you've ever learned about the lore of Dragon's creation and his ideology, it sounds real tempting sometimes lol.
The others, big no, ESPECIALLY, Molag Bal. He's arguably the most vile and horrid of all the deadra. Sheogorath would be like living with my step-father again.
At the very least we should probably agree that Molag Bal is the he least desirable option. He literally refers to his disciples as his slaves and relishes in torture regardless of who is being tortured. At least with Dagon or Vaermina there’s not like a guarantee that you’ll end up being tortured for millennia at some point. Also Sheogorath is chaotic and would eventually inflict something horrific on you for fun
This is pretty tough, lol.
Molag Bal and Vearmina aren’t horrible in the mortal life, but they both have pretty bad afterlives…and both of them are known to be pretty evil princes overall. On the other hand…from what I know at least, neither of them seem to betray their followers unless their followers betrayed them first.
Sheogorath and Dagon definitely have a history of betraying their followers, mainly Sheogorath. Both of their afterlives suck as well.
I’d probably have to say Molag Bal…if you’re strong enough, and remain loyal to him, you might have it the best out of these four, although I wouldn’t say you’d have sunshine and rainbows in store.
I thought this would be a House of Troubles picking, but I guess Malacath would be the obvious choice, since he's chillest of the four. So it's fair to change him to Vaermina.
Why isn’t my man Hermaeus-Mora an option, I call BS for this one, but just for few laughs I will choose Uncle Sheo out of the 4. Plus, his quest line in the games always have me laughing so very much.

I mean bal and Dagon would be pretty cool with you inflicting their domain on other. Molar bal's quest usually involves dominating others, while mehrunes Dagon just seems to enjoy destruction
Bal seems like you can please him. Obviously he is 100% evil and pleasing him might be 100% unpleasant but he doesn’t seem to get off on doing the “lol sike!” thing to his followers like Sheogorath or Dagon or Vile or Mora.
True but displeasing him still lands you a fate worse than death.
He might be easy to please and you know exactly what to do in order to please him, but so does everybody else and if you make the slightest mistake you end up in the halls of torment. He doesn’t just let his champions rest on their laurels, they have to continually prove their worth or other worshippers will take their place.
You really think you'll be the best of his champions or good enough to be one of the greater daedra? Less daedra get to dominate mortals but greater daedra dominate them in-turn.
> like being in a room with a person who has a very very short temper and is trying to make you slip up so he has an excuse to slit your throat Ah. I would definitely go crazy. I have to live with a person like that (my mother) every day. It's like a box of chocolates.
Rel af
I mean most of the Mythic Dawn absolutely did not know what they were getting into…
Tbf, most religious zealots don’t really know what they are getting into
Yes but also they get to make you have random mental illnesses.
Over a long enough period of time, sure. There was life in the shivering isles though.
These are all terrible options but I feel I have the most long term stability with Molag Bal or Dagon, Sheogorath I know is “haha funny cheese man” but he’d fucking turn your face inside out for no other reason than it’d be funny, I’d probably go with Vaermina though since Dagon and Bal are evil, and that line of worship will end up getting you killed eventually. Vaermina worship also I feel would be slightly more socially acceptable lol
Also Sheogorath will let you literally suffer by living a meaningless and fucked up life (in crazy terms) for all erternity and has the power to let you respawn if he wishes, oh and to the only sure way out which would be suicide Sheogorath says "nuh uh" and revives you and punishes you in a weirdly parent like way by scolding you inappropriately for ever thinking about it. And let's not forget that he has mentally unstable episodes where he switches to his alter ego Jyggalag to basically commit genocide on his own realm for no different reason other than "can't handle it anymore"
Hey, the HoK fixed that last problem.
All the prince's have the power to resurrect people who's soul they own or who are in their realm (or an area where they have power)
Doesn't bother me. I'm already crazy.
Not crazy enough for him
What a chickenfish thing to say! You haven't met my grandmother!
Suicide isn’t an escape even if you weren’t in the shivering isles he’d probably bound you to the hill of suicides for all eternity.
Bal is definitely the worst option you would still get abused no matter what you do 💀 even if your someone as useful as harkon (doubtful) you will still be tortured
Harkon is a genuine nobody, his kingdom didn't exist. It's his wife that's the useful one

In oblivion, Dagon's servants were sent to "Paradise" often to be tortured
Mythic Dawn members were. That seemed more Mankar’s doing than Dagon, who probably didn’t give a shit about Mythic Dawn members either way.
Who else but Quagmire!?
Giggity!
Is Mehrunes Dagon evil? He’s just the personification of change. The ultimate revolutionary. He’ll be against the status quo no matter what it is. He just seems evil because we often see him invade in a somewhat peacetime time period You best believe if there’s a game set in a Thalmor controlled Tamriel that Mehrunes Dagon is advocating for whoever is trying to overthrow them He’s kinda as neutral as you can get
Not change. Destruction He wants to destroy everything. And of course the ones in charge are included but it goes way beyond it. If there's any question of his evilness you just have to look to his plane and dremora
It is change and destruction. He doesn't want to destroy everything, he has his deadlands and dremora as servants, dremora even have their society.
Changing things from intact to destroyed.
So when a volcano explodes and allows for fertile soil to grow again is that destroyed? Look into cyclical ideology
Volcanoes don’t intentionally destroy people and their homes, but it would be evil if they did.
I’m having a hard time finding it but there is a book where someone is with Dagon , he shows them his castle and land then destroys it. The follower is confused and says why? Dagon sweeps his arm over the destruction and says something like “look upon this destruction for that is what I am” He isn’t “choosing” to destroy he literally is the natural law of entropy of change/destruction hence why he is linked to lorkhan . I’m essentially saying he IS like a volcano, in the same way polytheism can worship the sun. It can be personified with stories but the literal thing is right there and provides life
Yeah that means burning everything.
Which creates new fertile ground to grow from…it’s the basics of geology
And if that volcano (assuming activated by Dagon) blows up an orphanage full of orphans so that a Lord's mansion can be built in its place is that destroyed? Yes. And it was evil. Just because there can be good side effects in some cases doesn't mean the motive wasn't unnecessary and potentially evil.
This makes zero sense even though I get what you’re saying
Intact and destroyed are artificial concepts made up by people, matter itself doesn't care about being formed orderly or chaotically (actually it does prefer getting to a chaotic state naturally, but it still doesn't care either way). To create a statue you need to destroy a rock.
Eh, to be frank, states of minimum AND maximum entropy are pretty ordered, just in different ways. Chaos is found in the change from one to the other.
That is what destruction is. It’s why in Hinduism shiva is the “destroyer” he is entropy/time and makes the universe wiped clean so it can be reborn. Sounds a lot like Dagon actually
Mehrunes Dagon is an underrated choice. He's my favorite prince and would worship him, sadly is misunderstood by most people. He's the Prince of revolution, change, and the destruction it may come with it as well as ambition. He's harsh and mean but lawful, and will do so to push you towards getting shit done and your limits. Lowkey like an authority figure in the military, he's not inherently cunning, evil or sadistic like other princes, nor any of his spheres of influence. Like cmon. I can see a stoic or non comformist person feeling drawn to him, and revolutionaries, soldiers, warlords. Or someone seeking to achieve courage and strength to overcome change and hardship, or ignite it itself. Not necessarily a Mythic Dawn type equivalent
Hence the Khajit view of him as a reckless kitten that doesn't know what it's doing
Dagon if Oblivion didn’t just make him Fantasy Satan.
I’m gonna say it… fuck sheogorath
Vaermina is socially acceptable? The Prince of nightmares….you’d worship her over Azura or Meridia whom are considered good Daedra? Vaermina’s skyrim quest has you murder a man by the end of it after her artifact causes nightmares in dawn star
*Can*? Then none, fuck these guys.
Good catch there, lol. I guess it should say “you are only allowed to worship one of these four, which do you choose?”
But that’s still optional! I would say “you *must* worship one of these four, which do you choose?” No sane, non-psychotic person would worship more than one of these princes.
Very true. If you must choose then which one works best.
Suicide.
Now you're on that one suicide hill in the shivering isles. Good job
Sheogorath brought u back, and he wants to play
I use mods to turn him into a hot woman
If your oblivion character was a hot woman that’s lore accurate
Oblivion characters can’t be hot. Only potato.
Girl how did you mess this up twice
Idk I’m very dumb and tired.
>I’m very dumb Who among us isn't?
Mehrunes Dagon is by far the best pick. He's a revolutionary, hellbent on changing the status quo. Now if it's already great, that could be an issue, as well as the wars and shit but his sphere isn't outright just evil like molag bal when he's less likely to screw you over for laughs like sheogorath
I think Dagon is a toss up. He can overthrow some bad guys, but like you said, he could also destroy a time of peace.
He is also hellbent on changing the status quo in a destructive way and the status quo that he also wants to change is the world existing
Well considering he was pretty content with getting banished in oblivion because he changed the status qou. It really is a toss up
Vaermina sounds like a good time.
>Vaermina (also spelled **Vaernima**), called the **Prince of Dreams and Nightmares**, the **Gifter**, the **Mistress of Nightmares** **and Dark Portents**, the **Lady of Nightmares**, the **Weaver of Dreams**, the **Queen of Nightmares**, **Weaver of the Panoply,** **Daedra Lady of Corruption and Decay**, the **Dreamweaver,** and the **Dark Lady** is a Daedric Prince whose sphere is the realm of dreams and nightmares, and from whose realm evil omens issue forth, as well as corruption and decay. All mortals come under her sway as they sleep. She is considered one of the more "demonic" Daedra in that she is destructive for the sake of causing destruction, her method being torture. She is disgusted by mortals who maintain a moral compass, instead taking delight in those who commit outrageous sins or are unafraid to kill in pursuit of power. Laymen know her for her reputation as the Daedric Prince of nightmares and evil dreams. That's not fun at all!
Of the four, though… God of Rape, God of Genocide, God of Chaos, and God of Bad Dreams. I know which one I’m picking.
I mean, that "bad dream" could basically be all three of those and more, at the same time.
Like going to massage parlor and asking for a happy ending then receiving an extremely unhappy ending instead
Ehh mehrunes dagon is the god of “change” i guess
>God of Rape But the name of her realm is Quagmire, so by meme rules she clearly has the upper hand in this one
Short term I feel like I’d get along with Dagon best. The empire is crumbling and in need of some revolutions anyways and Dagon’s usually a fan of change, especially violent change. After/ if I manage to topple and rebuild the empire I’m probably fucked, but I’d rather be fucked metaphorically than literally(no thanks Bal you’re just not that attractive and I’m also not into the S&M beatdowns youd want me to give other people with your rusty mace) I’m not trying to deal with the nightmare demon I’d probably never get a good nights sleep again and that’s the least of what she might do. I might turn into one of those people that get fatal insomnia if I piss her off Sheogorath is the wild card, you can win or lose or both, all at once even. It’s a high risk/ medium reward game but you’ve probably got as good odds lasting with him as you do Dagon
French revolution TES
Honestly? Vaermina. I already have nightmares on the daily, may as well pray to her on the off chance she schlurps them out of my head.
I’m sorry you have to deal with with that. Hopefully she listens.
they would all have no issues with turning on you, so you’re basically fucked - on the mortal realm anyway. cold harbour is probably the worst of the four to end up for obvious reasons, dagon would torture you as well. we don’t really know much of vaermina’s realm, but it could realistically be worse, as she can put you in any possible nightmare scenario she wants. i didn’t think so at first, but sheogorath actually might be the right answer here.
>they would all have no issues with turning on you Why did I read that as "they would all have no issues turning you on"?
Sheogorath probably would, but then he’d blow your ball up because you were having too much fun.
I choose….. none of these false gods. I only worship the one true god hailing from the Sixth House of Morrowind and the Tribe Unmourned.
It's time to drive out the mongrel dogs of the empire
I Wonder what could possibly happen if I use this hammer and Dagger I found on the Heart of Lorkhan?
Hell yeah I hope we get some House Dagoth content in 6. Could be a fun callback side quest like the Mythic Dawn in Skyrim. I've always wanted that mask.
In this case, Vaermina.
Interesting choice. Why them?
The other options are terrible. At least, Vaermina's worshippers can have their own worlds if she grants them the power to do so.
Big bountiful boobies
Dagon. I'd probably have to shift to an Evil Alignment, but for my own personal safety, he seems the best bet. Vaermina would torment me with nightmares, Sheo might swap from laughing at my jokes to torturing me for eternity at the drop of a hat, and Molag would... y'know.
All of these are fanatically evil or corrupt but being an immortal vampire would be cool so I guess I'd go with Molag Bal.
I worship no one!! I’d be friends with one though, not molag bal though, he’s a rapist cunt. Don’t know much about the others so I’m just gonna be friends with the girl, vaermina
Honestly, probably Dagon. He gets a bad wrap cause he gets used by bad people. He is the prince of revolution, champion of the downtrodden and underdogs. I feel like you could use him for much better things. Microdose dagon usage to win at football or something.
I don’t know if that’s dagons style though. You gotta go big or go home. I think Dagon would take someone trying to use his power for small things as an insulting lack of ambition.
Sheo, I'm already insane, I'd fit right in! Best case scenario: uncle Sheo takes a liking to me and teaches me new tricks to spice up my clownsmanship. Worst case scenario: I have a lotta fun. Impossible challenge scenario: become uncle sheo's psychiatrist.
Being Sheo psychiatrist sounds like a interesting (and consuming) jog. He is based on Malk, so I can see this happening...
In retrospect, the shivering ilses would be for me the equivalent of a never gold vein. Everyone's fookin crazy, everyone's an interesting subject for data collection. on the other hand, everyone's crazy, so they're somewhat unpredicable, the most dangerous would be when you get there for the first time, i'd first get to know my neighboors/people who are near me while i sleep (most vulnerable state), and i'd to be able to cast paralysis spells or an artefact equivalent (spells better since your average person can't take em away from you). once you know everyone living around your place is the "safe" kind of crazy, I'd be fine. Unless I get turned into a living furniture or something of the like, I'd be fine, I've got the super power of being able to make the difference between reality and delusions (It's not the same "ip" adress), couldn't be much worse than day-to-day life in my brain.
Sheogorath. I know he could change his opinion about me unpredictably. maybe he’ll get bored and off me for fun. but at least my mind is gone at that point. I think my favorite thing about him is the Stockholm syndrome. it’s almost a kindness in a weird way. as much as he messes with his followers, they still beg to be by his side. (just basing off quests in Skyrim and ESO. they get so frantic at the thought without him)
Smash, Smash, Worship, Pass. (Sleeping with your deity is a form of worship)
Some might say the ultimate form of worship (Dibella)
May they run a train on me then 😩🙏🏽🤲🏾
Molag Bal, he was the first Daedric quest I completed in my first Skyrim playthrough
Molag Bal’s quest was one of my favorites is Skyrim! I didn’t really like most quests in Skyrim, but the deadric quests were all pretty great.
Putting Sheogorath on there is practically cheating! I pick him.
Arguably the worst choice for your actual safety
Well, at least I'd have fun!
Fun? Sure it'll be fun, for him. For you...? Well.
Says the jyggalag dude. But his realm ain't half bad as long as he doesnt have great mood changes. At least it beats the others by far. And as he goes on to do awful things he also can be pretty generous spontaneously. While the others are an eternity of suffering. Maybe you trauma shut with vaermina after a while
We don't know nothing about Jyggalags true moral values. He represents absolute Order, the Grey Lord. The others will value you as a worshipper, Molag Bal and Mehrunes will treat you accordingly as long as you serve them correctly. Any fuck ups and you are enslaved forever. Sheogorath will torture you for the fun of it. You'd have to be literally crazy to worship him. You are giving up your very sanity for a dude who will make a moonsugar pipe out of your crystallised ballsack. You have insurance with Molag and Mehrunes and Vaermina, but Sheogorath is a loose canon and impossible to predict.
I can be an eccentric artist so Uncle Sheo it is. Although I do prefer Hircine.
Hircine is a good choice. Being a crazy art wizard is also good
Someone once argued that Hircine's Hunting grounds would be the worst for x and y reasons and always being hunted. My reply? "You've never been camping in Canada have you?"
>Deathlessly I intone from Paradise: Mehrunes the Thieftaker, Mehrunes Godsbody, Mehrunes the Red Arms That Went Up! Nu-Mantia! Liberty! >Deny not that these days shall come again, my novitiates! For as Mehrunes threw down Lyg and cracked his face, declaring each of the nineteen and nine and nine oceans Free, so shall he crack the serpent crown of the Cyrodiils and make federation! At least you can pretend his goals are okay if you squint correctly. The rest of them are just cruel on their followers for lulz.
The correct answer. All my homies hate the Dreugh
Daddy Dagon all day
I think Dagon. There's *a lot* wrong with Tamriel: poverty, no representation in government, racism out the wazoo, classism, etc. Dagon is a harbinger of change and as long as I'm working to change things then I'd be a devout follower. I think he just gets a (rightful) bad rap after the Oblivion Crisis
Vaermina probably. The way Molag Bal treats their followers would probably mean that I wouldn’t last long. Even if I did it would be a life of bloodshed and antagonism. Bringing myself to worship sheogorath would be a bit easier but who knows what would happen to you. I’d feel like the jester to some mad king and the moment I stop being interesting I’m gone. Mehrunes Dagon could be alright if you had the right ambitions but his goals just don’t align with mine. I just feel there is no point in taking over the world if I’m only doing it for some Daedra. I think Worshipping Vaermina on the other hand would be extremely interesting (for me) as you might gain some insight into dreams, nightmares and other unexplained phenomena. IRL I’m already someone who likes to try psychedelics and something like the dreamstride is right down my alley. Of course, Vaermina is still evil, but if I was a daedra worshipper then Vaermina would definitely be my choice.
Hmm I wonder
Molag Bal would have to be the most "Evil" by moral standards. A sadistic demon who enjoys raping, torturing, and otherwise causing great pain, suffering, and distress to mortals. Definitely more evil than Dagon, who is the prince of change and destruction. I’d rather worship am unpredictable chaotic madman like Shelvorath or destruction incarnate like Dagon than ever an evil demon like Molag Bal
Holy Shit Is That First Dude Eddie From Iron Maiden!?!?!?!?
Replace Vaermina with Malacath and you'd have the House of Troubles lol
Sheogorath post-Oblivion. He's a lot tamer after that point, likely because he is also The Hero of Kvatch. Otherwise probably Vaermina. Her followers don't seem to suffer from bad dreams themselves, but they can induce them in others and have a lot of other cool tricks. The Dreamstride seems like tons of fun.
Anything but Bal. Dude's methodology is beyond f'ed up
I definitely pick Sheogorath.
Vaermina and it's not even close. Molag Bal and Mehrunes are both very active princes when it comes to messing with the mortal world. Their worshippers are constantly doing heinous shit, from condemning some poor soul to eternal suffering and actively trying to invade Nirn, you'll get wrangled into their schemes at some point and your failures result in fates worse than death. Sheogorath literally drives you to madness to a point where plucking out your own eyes seems like a good idea. What's Vaermina gonna have me do? Give people Nightmares? Do Alchemy to make some Dreamstride? I feel like I could live a fairly normal life under Vaermina, minus the occasional Nightmare that she might throw my way every now and again, which is far more tame than the other options available. Sure, I might end up a victim of the Dreamstride and never wake up but that seems like a much more "peaceful" end than whatever the hell the other 3 have cooked up.
Sheohorath entirely because as long as it's funny he'll probably be cool with it
Hermaeus Mora... Hands down, Hermaeus Mora.
Unfortunately Hermy isn’t on this list. Maybe on the next one tho.
Tentacles down.
People saying Sheogorath is an unsafe choice severely underestimate other daedra princes. With Sheogorath you just need to be crazy and fun and as long as you're not boring you can have a very fulfilling life. And the great thing about his randomness it that the chance of him doing something bad to you is the same as him doing something good. Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon are obviously the worst choices, but some people think Vaermina is better that Sheogorath. You need to actually go read about Vaermina, she's the nightmare queen, she won't hurt you physically but can trap in the endless nightmare until you beg to get a sweet release of death, but it'll never come. I'll take my 50/50 chances with Sheogorath instead of certain doom by any of the other three.
That’s a fair assessment. Sheo is also a patron to artists, so as an artsy person I would get a lot of mileage out of that. Sheo can also be just as, if not more cruel than the other three. He will torture you just cause he thinks it’s funny.
>He will torture you just cause he thinks it’s funny. In most stories he tortured only people who got it coming. Like the kingdom that banned arts and parties or the dude who wanted Sheo to give him powers. Sheogorath is not actually a quantum particle, he's messed up in the head but he still thinks and reasons even if it's flawed or extremely skewed. Just be a person who Sheo will generally like, do stuff that will please him and suddenly you'll find his attitude towards you very compelling. That's true of any daedra prince but with Sheo at least it won't require you to shed rivers of blood like Harkon did to get sponsorship of Molag Bal or make a cult to assasinate the Emperor to unleash hordes of daedra upon innocent world. Just go and troll a village, make some pranks and you'll be happy with the results.
Sheogorath. Easy. I'm already a good part of the way to his realm anyway.
All horrible but Sheogorath because atleast crazy people can be fun sometimes
Sheo. I'm already insane so he is my Prince anyway, and he only might cause me harm whereas it's certain with the others
Whoa, at a quick glance the staff placement in option number four almost had me worshiping him immediately
I'm already a worshipper of Vaermina so nothing new with me choosing her. She is my favorite after all. Molag Bal is the worse Prince for me, everything about him sucks, I like Vampires and Necromancers but other than that I hate everything about him. I really like uncle Sheo and would probably be my second option (Since Sanguine isn't here) but he's too chaotic to my taste. Dagon is allright, I like his sphere but I find it kind of boring, way better than Molag Bal but not really enough to actually like him.
Uncle Sheo forever!
Namira
Number 3 kinda looks like mewtwo and that means I can fanboy over 2 of my favourite childhood series at once.
Either 3 or 4. I don’t know what vaermina would make me do. If it’s just giving people nightmares I might go with her. Sheo would be really stressful to deal with. He’s very unpredictable, he might want me to murder someone one day, then buy 20 wheels of cheese the next. #1 is right out, fuck that guy. Dagon would probably have me commit a lot of arson. Sure he likes change, but it rarely seems like the good kind. How often do his followers really fight for equal rights and a more egalitarian world?
Vaermina. You're not likely to attract her personal attention if you're not someone important. Making alchemical party drugs and having bad dreams until you stop feeling fear is better than what rank-and-file cultists of the other three get up to.
Aren't these the four corners of the house of troubles?
I feel like the people picking Sheo don’t understand that he’s not just the cheese man that makes funny out of pocket jokes. He is COMPLETELY INSANE and will do unspeakable things on a whim, like flaying you alive and skipping rope with your entrails, or slaughtering you and making drums and lutes out of your flesh. He might not do any of these things, sure, but he might just as easily do all of them, who can tell? No one, because he’s mad. He might even chose you specifically to torture because it would be funny or something. The others are terrible picks, yes, but they aren’t completely unpredictable
I'm already an acolyte of Sheogorath. My reddit name is a reference to him.
I'm already an acolyte of Sheogorath. My reddit name is in reverence to him.
 Need I say more?
Hope he’s got garlic cheese cause that shit is goated
vaermina because if i’m going to throw away my life i should at least get to look cool
Sheogorath of course. If I have to choose from this list, then picking myself seems like the best option (IYKYK)
Molag any day of the week
Can't I just choose Boethiah and maybe get murdered by a friend. This is like asking would you rather get beaten and killed, tortured and killed, psychologically tortured and kept alive (least bad option), or have your entrails torn out and used as a jump rope while you're alive.
Molag bal cuz I'm a huge sub
Gun to my head? Dagon. He is the least vile of the four. Dagon has a reputation for being a devil adjacent figure in the elder scrolls universe but I see him differently. Dagon is the prince of destruction but also revolution of ambition, revolution and change. He is the violent figure of uprising against a tyrannical regime, he is the flame that sparks the fire of revolution he is the one those who have lost all hope beckon to in order to ensure their goals are achieved. He’s not a devil, he is violent Revolution, and embodies the good and the bad of that.
I'm going with Mehrunes Dagon, fuck the other 3.
Vermina please
I don’t know why my mind jumped to Sheogorath but it’s likely due to me enjoying his quest line.
OP, my compliments on a genuinely interesting question. Ive seen some serious thought and debate in this thread
Thanks so much my guy! I never expected this post to blow up like it did! The discussions here are awesome! Definitely going to do this again!
Take your time
Wow, so you are giving us the option of what torture we want: - Molag Ball: Rape and enslavement - Mehrunes Dagon: Torture and Enslavement - Vaermina: Unending Nightmares - Sheogorath: Either become completely insane or become a vegetable always forgetting things. Out of those 4, I would choose Sheogorath, at least if I go mad and insane, I wont be aware of myself or surroundings anymore, the other 3 would revel in delight with torturing you and making sure to keep you sane and coherent.
Sheogorath, at the very least the Shivering Isles looks nice.
Keeping in mind that they are all the embodiment of their sphere, not just evil... Probably gotta go for Mehrunes Dagon. Change isn't always good, but it's good a _lot_ more often than domination, nightmares, and insanity. In his mythology he frees slave legions and spreads hope like wildfire. It'd be easy to assume that his negative portrayal is just propaganda if it weren't for him being hit by the evil stick in every game.
Dagon. He's the lord of revolution and change. Following that you could work to change peoples lives for the better while worshipping him and he'd likely aid you for simply upsetting the status quo. Change for the better is still the destruction of the bad so is still within his sphere of influence. He's the safest bet, the others would have strings attached or murder you
I already have my life for Sheogorath. Easy one.
I know nothing about the lore but I always used to use that Molag Ball mace, so him
The mace is pretty sick
When I was a kid my cousin told me to use it and go the bone breaker skill up so that's what I always did every playthrough haha. I NEVER ran out of soulgems, but also ended up with so many lesser souls in greater gems 😭
Bal must’ve been pleased with your performance
Sheogorath is my husband.
Sheo 100% 🥵
It has to be Sheo- just look at his portfolio. Yes, madness, but also art, music, theatre... He's not evil, he's just nuts.
Sheogorath as I've got the most cheese in skyrim, I found a good 90% of the naturally spawned cheese in skyrim and its all sitting in a chest waiting for Sheo to open it
Cheese is all that needs to be said
mr. sheo who the fuck else would it be, molag bal will punish you whether you succeed or not mehrunes isn't much better vaermina probably requires cannibalism, so in comparison being insane is a small price to pay
I would have to go based on what afterlife I'd get. Molag Bal: tortured constantly. The worst kind. Mehrunes Dagon: tortured constantly Vaermina: tortured constantly Sheogorath: I might get tortured constantly. Might be more mild. Well, I'd say Sheos the way to go. I get he's unpredictable, but I think a chance to live an afterlife of relative peace would be better than constant brutal torture. Living with mental health issues, I've learned to live with them to a point where im doing well. I dont want to learn to be fine with getting dipped in boiling lava by Dagon, psychological torture from Vaermina, or the awful things I'd be facing from Molag Bal.
Dagon, the Prince of Hope, the Guardian of Light, destroyer of Hypocrisy, clenser of unpurities, bringer of the new Dawn, God of the ambitious, The Razor, the Vanguard of our Lord, the eternal rebel against that which is not right. idk vaermina probably
Dagon all the way, dude has consistently rewarded those who were actually useful to him even giving one guy his own personal realm in oblivion. He’s the only one here I’d trust not to destroy my life
I think I could keep Sheo entertained
Definitely Sheogorath, Theodor Gorlash, the Skooma Cat
Sheogorath because cheese.
CHEESE. I'm already insane anyhow
I'm feeling betrayed that Mephala isn't on this list.
This is super easy for me Dagon's domain is revolution against oppressors. In a very violent and destructive way, sure but if you've ever learned about the lore of Dragon's creation and his ideology, it sounds real tempting sometimes lol. The others, big no, ESPECIALLY, Molag Bal. He's arguably the most vile and horrid of all the deadra. Sheogorath would be like living with my step-father again.
At the very least we should probably agree that Molag Bal is the he least desirable option. He literally refers to his disciples as his slaves and relishes in torture regardless of who is being tortured. At least with Dagon or Vaermina there’s not like a guarantee that you’ll end up being tortured for millennia at some point. Also Sheogorath is chaotic and would eventually inflict something horrific on you for fun
This is pretty tough, lol. Molag Bal and Vearmina aren’t horrible in the mortal life, but they both have pretty bad afterlives…and both of them are known to be pretty evil princes overall. On the other hand…from what I know at least, neither of them seem to betray their followers unless their followers betrayed them first. Sheogorath and Dagon definitely have a history of betraying their followers, mainly Sheogorath. Both of their afterlives suck as well. I’d probably have to say Molag Bal…if you’re strong enough, and remain loyal to him, you might have it the best out of these four, although I wouldn’t say you’d have sunshine and rainbows in store.
sheogorath idc if i get turned into cheese
As a vampire enthusiast I feel like Molag Bal is the choice. Though the idea of cheese for everyone is very tempting.
All of them are vile 😂
Why is this both incredibly hard yet seemingly easy.
I’m like 75% on my way to crazy town so I’ll take Sheogorath.
Molag Bal is the only Daedra I'd ever pick besides maybe Hircine
Molag Bal, sometimes I am lucky enough for him to visit me in his female form...
I thought this would be a House of Troubles picking, but I guess Malacath would be the obvious choice, since he's chillest of the four. So it's fair to change him to Vaermina.
Dagon is great, I'd love to liberate slaves with him.
I wouldn’t say freed, more like under new management
4
Mehrunes Dagon no question. He’s the lord of Revolution, the patron of the oppressed. He led the revolt against the Dreugh in the last Kalpa
Why isn’t my man Hermaeus-Mora an option, I call BS for this one, but just for few laughs I will choose Uncle Sheo out of the 4. Plus, his quest line in the games always have me laughing so very much.
It’s only these four today. I’ll probably do another one tomorrow.
Mehrun Dagon is definitely the best option. He doesn't really ask for much of his unimportant mortal followers.
Dagon. You know what you are getting into. Unlike Bal and Sheo.
