Lore:Darkest Darkness

In Morrowind, both worship ers and sorcerers   lesser   and bound Daedra as servants and instruments.

Most Daedric servants can be summoned by sorcerers  ithin the most fragile and tenuous frameworks of command and binding. This fortunately limits their capacity for mischief,   few minutes, most of these servants can do terrible harm to their summoners  as well as their enemies.

Worship ers may bind other Daedric servants to this plane through rituals and pacts. Such arrangements result in the Daedric servant remaining on this plane indefinitel r at least until their bodily manifestations on this plane are destroyed, precipitating   to Oblivion. Whenever Daedra are encountered at Daedric ruins or in tombs, they are almost invariably long-term visitors to our plane.

Likewise, lesser entities bound by their Daedra Lords into weapons and armor may be summoned for brief periods, or   persist indefinitely, so long as they are not destroyed and banished. The class of bound weapons and bound armors summoned by   followers and conjur rs are examples of short-term binding aedric artifacts like   and the   are examples of long-term bindings.

The Tribunal Temple of Morrowind has incorporated the veneration of Daedra as lesser spirits subservient to the immortal  , the Triune godhead of Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and  . These subordinate Daedra are divided into the Good Daedra and the Bad Daedra. The Good Daedra have willingly submitted to the authority of Almsiv he Bad Daedra are rebels who defy Almsiv reacherous kin who are more often adversaries than allies.

The Good Daedra are Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala. The   is a powerful and violent lesser Daedra associated with Boethiah, Father of Plot  sinuous, long-limbed, long-tailed creature with a beast-skulled head, noted for its paralyzing touch and its ability to disintegrate weapons and armor. The   is a messenger of Azura, Goddess of Dusk and Dawn. Winged twilights resemble the feral harpies of the West, though the feminine aspects of the winged twilights are more ravishing, and their long, sharp, hooked tails are immeasurably more deadly.   are the servants of Mephala, taking the form of spider-humanoid centaurs, with a naked upper head, torso, and arms of human proportions, mounted on the eight legs and armored carapace of a giant spider. Unfortunately, these Daedra are so fierce and irrational that they cannot be trusted to heed the commands of the Spinner. As a consequence, few sorcerers are willing to either summon or bind such creatures in Morrowind.

The Bad Daedra are Mehrunes Dagon, Malacath, Sheogorath, and Molag Bal. Three lesser Daedra are associated with Mehrunes Dagon: the agile and pesky  , the ferocious and beast-like  , and the noble and deadly  . The crocodile-headed humanoid Daedra called the   is a servant of Molag Bal, while the giant but dim-witted   is a servant of Malacath. Sheogorath's lesser Daedra, the  , a half-clothed human female in appearance, is highly resistant to magic and a dangerous spellcaster.

Another type of lesser Daedra often encountered in Morrowind is the  tronach, or Elemental Daedra. Atronachs have no binding kinship or alignments with the Daedra Lords, serving one realm or another at whim, shifting sides according to seduction, compulsion, or opportunity.
