Her sphere is the period of transition and change , as seen in the constant twilight of her realm of Oblivion , Moonshadow . Nocturnal has been referred to as her sister , though it is unknown if this is in the literal or metaphorical sense . She is known to be one of the more merciful and benevolent Lords , though her wrath is swift and painful when it is brought about . She oversees the Daedric Realm of Moonshadow , a beautiful world of blurred colors , streaming together , cities of silver , and air like perfume . The ones who visit this realm are mostly of either the Dunmer of Morrowind or the Khajiit of Elsweyr as both revere Azura , though in different respects . Azura can be summoned on the 21st of First Seed , or during the times of dawn or dusk at her shrine in Cyrodiil . Appearances .

Azura is invoked on Hogithum , which falls on the 21st of First Seed . This holiday is revered by the Dunmeri , who invoke her for guidance and support . If thunderstorms strike during Hogithum , Azura must not be invoked , as these are the nights of the Madgod , Sheogorath . History . Azura is known to be one of the three Good Daedra in Morrowind , along with Boethiah and Mephala . They were worshipped by the Chimer prior to the apotheosis of the Tribunal and their becoming the Dunmer . The Tribunal recognizes them as the anticipations of themselves , Azura being the Anticipation of Sotha Sil . She taught the Chimer the ways to be different from the Altmer . Relationship with the Dwemer . Azura may have harbored a hatred for the Dwemer race before they gained access to the Heart of Lorkhan , following a possible event where she was tricked by a Dwemer into showing she was not omniscient . Nerevar . After Nerevar ' s defeat of the Dwemer , he summoned Azura to ask what to do with Kagrenac ' s tools : Sunder , Wraithguard , and Keening . She told him how to separate the power of Lorkhan ' s Heart from the Dwemer , and , in doing so , Nerevar caused the Dwemer to all simply disappear . However , there are many controversies surrounding this , such as the belief that the Dwemer caused their own disappearance . Azura then instructed Nerevar and the Tribunal to never use the Heart ' s power for themselves . However , Dagoth Ur , Sotha Sil , Almalexia , and Vivec did just that and became like gods , killing Nerevar in order to do so unopposed . As punishment , Azura cursed the golden - skinned Chimer to become the ash - skinned , red - eyed Dunmer . She then prophesied Nerevar ' s reincarnation who will end the Tribunals ' godhood . This prophecy became known as the Nerevarine Prophecy . Third Era . During the third era , Uriel Septim VII released an unknown prisoner , born of uncertain parents , to Vvardenfell , an island in northern Morrowind , believing the prisoner may have had a chance of being the Nerevarine , the reincarnation of Nerevar . Azura somehow blessed the prisoner and guided him along the way of their destiny . After being named Nerevarine by the four Ashland tribes and Hortator by the three great houses , and with Vivec ' s help , the Nerevarine destroyed the resurfacing House Dagoth and Dagoth Ur , who planned to create and animate the giant golem , Akulakhan . In the process , the Nerevarine destroyed the Heart of Lorkhan , severing the Tribunal from their source of godhood , making them merely very powerful mortals , finally fulfilling Azura ' s prophecy . Fourth Era . By the Fourth Era following the eruption of the Red Mountain , a new religious movement for the Dunmer people arose , dubbed the " Reclamations " . This new doctrine declared the downfall of the Tribunal and the rise of their previously named Anticipations as the objects for worship . These Reclamations included Azura , Mephala , and Boethiah , who were " reclaiming their status from the Tribunal . " Azura and the Khajiit . The Khajiit also worship Azura , spelled Azurah in Khajiit mythology . According to their legends , Azurah was one of the many children of Fadomai , and the only of her children who did not abandon her as she neared death . Fadomai gave Azurah three secrets as reward for her loyalty , telling her to choose one of the children of Nirn i , the mortal races , and change them and name them Khajiit . The Khajiit were given the three gifts : to be the most beautiful , clever , and fastest creatures in the world ; to be the best climbers in the world ; and to be the best deceivers in the world . Creation of the Khajiit . Azurah waited as Nirni gave birth , and as Lorkhaj created a place for them to live . Nirni saw many of her children die and many fled to the stars , and of the rest , Nirni was most sad for the forest people ( presumably , the Bosmer ) , whom she felt had not found their place . Azurah came forth and changed some of the Bosmer into the various forms of the Khajiit , and bound their birth and growth to the moons , Masser and Secunda . Quests . Morrowind . The main quest of is entirely instigated by Azura , she is heard during the introduction , provides the Nerevarine with guidance and later more help . Finally appears again at the conclusion of the main questline , as Azura ' s Spirit , offering the Ring of Azura . During " Azura ' s Quest , " the Nerevarine will acquire Azura ' s Star . Oblivion . Azura has a shrine in Cyrodiil , located in the Jerall Mountains to the north of Cheydinhal . In her quest , she sends the Hero to a nearby mine where some of her worshippers have locked themselves inside . The worshippers had been turned into vampires , and Azura requests that the Hero put them out of their misery . As with most of Azura ' s quests , the Hero receives Azura ' s Star as a reward . Skyrim . Upon locating the Shrine of Azura , the Last Dragonborn may speak with Aranea Ienith , the last priestess of Azura in Skyrim . Before coming to Skyrim , her people were cultists in Morrowind . Azura sent them visions of the eruption of the Red Mountain and they fled to Skyrim to rebuild their shrine . Sometime after Aranea became a priestess , Azura ' s Star was stolen by Malyn Varen , a necromancer who wished to exploit the artifact in order to preserve his soul immortally within . The Dragonborn may agree to seek the star and recover it at Ilinalta ' s Deep . They may choose to take it to Nelacar , who will turn the star black , or bring the star back to Azura , who will purge it of Varen ' s spirit . If the star is returned to Azura , she will dub the Dragonborn her champion .
