Varieties of Daedra Locations . Online . Part 1 : Part 2 : Content . There is little chance of our ever understanding the various orders of Daedra and their relationships to the Daedra Lords and their dominions . Of the varieties of Daedra that appear in our world , and the varieties of their relationships to their fellows and their Daedra patrons , there is no end . In one place and time they are seen to be this , and in another place and time they are seen to be the opposite , and in another place and time they are seen to be both this and that , in completely contradictory terms . What Daedra serves this Prince ? What Daedra gives orders , and what Daedra serves , and in what hierarchy , and under what circumstances ? What Daedra exist in fellowship with one another , and what Daedra have eternal enmity to one another , and what Daedra are solitary , or social , and by turns solitary or social ? There are no limits to the varieties of behaviors that may be observed , and in one place they may be this , and in another place they may that , and all rules describing them are always found to be contradictory and in exception to others . Further , from whom may we seek answers to our questions about these orders ? From mortals , who know little but what they may observe of another world ? From the gods , who speak in riddles , of enigmas wrapped in mysteries , and who keep things from us , the better to preserve their dominion over us ? From the Daedra themselves , who are never the models of straightforwardness or truthtelling , but rather are famous for misstatements and obfuscations ? And even were the Daedra to speak the truth , how can we know if they know themselves , or that there is any truth about them that is to be known , or are all arrangements among the Daedra protean and ever subject to change ? In short , what is to be known is little , and what is to be trusted is nothing . These things being said , I shall venture to relate what I have observed and heard of the relationships of the servants of Lord Dagon in my brief service to the Telvanni Wizard Divayth Fyr , when I sought him out and offered to bring peace to the victims of Corprus in his sanitarium , once the Prophecies of the Incarnate had been fulfilled , and Dagoth Ur had been destroyed , and the Blight had been banished from the island of Vvardenfell forever . Divayth Fyr told me that he , by choice , trafficked only with two Daedra Powers — Mehrunes Dagon and Azura . Azura , he said , knew and understood all things , and declined to speak of these things , or only spoke in riddles . Mehrunes Dagon , on the other hand , out of pride , fixity of purpose , and a predictable lack of subtlety in thought , knew nothing and understood nothing , and was inclined to speak freely and without falsehood . Divayth Fyr said that Dagon ' s chief servants , the Dremora , were like him in pride , fixed purpose , and lack of subtlety , with the addition of the peculiar traits of honor and loyalty , both within their class and within their relationship to Lord Dagon . And Divayth Fyr said that the Dremora were ordered into clans and castes , and these clans and castes were well - defined . Individual Dremora might rise or fall in ranks , or move back and forth among clans , but only when regulated by complex oaths , and only at the will and pleasure of their Lord Dagon . The Dremora refer to themselves as ' The Kyn ' ( ' the People ' ) , contrasting themselves to other Daedra , whom they consider unthinking animals . The term ' kynaz ' refers to a member of the Dremora race ( ' he of the Kyn ' ) . The least of kyn castes are the Churl s , the undistinguished rabble of the lowest rank of Dremora . Churls are obsequeous to superiors but ferociously cruel to humans and other Daedra . Next in rank are the Caitiff s , creatures of uncalculating zeal , energy without discrimination . Caitiffs are used as irregulars in the faction wars of the Daedra , as berserkers and shock troops , undisciplined and unreliable , but eager and willing . The highest of the regular rank - and file of Dremora troops are the Kynval s , warrior - knights who have distinguished themselves in battle , and shown the deliberate steadiness of potential war leaders . Above the rank and file warriors of the Churl , Caitiff , and Kynval castes are the officer castes . A Kynreeve is a clan sheriff or clan officer . Kynreeves are typically associated either with a clan fighting unit or an administrative office in the order of battle . The Kynmarcher is the lord and high officer of a Daedric citadel , outpost , or gate . A Kymarcher ' s command is usually associated both with a unit and with a ' fief ' - - a location or territory for which he is responsible . Above the Kymarcher is the Markynaz , or ' grand duke ' . A Markynaz is a lord of lords , and member of the Markyn , Mehrunes Dagon ' s Council of Lords . The highest rank of Dremora is the Valkynaz , or ' prince ' . This warrior duke is a member of the Valkyn , Mehrunes Dagon ' s personal guard . The Valkynaz are rarely encountered on Tamriel ; normally they remain by Mehrunes Dagon ' s side , or serve as commanders of operations of particular importance or interest to Dagon . Of the varieties of other Daedra I encountered while I served in Divayth Fyr ' s Corprusarium - - Ogrim s and Golden Saint s , Daedroth s and Winged Twilight s , Scamp s , Clannfear - - there is much that might be said , but little that is helpful or reliable . I did note , however , that when Divayth Fyr sought a Daedra of a character like unto the Dremora , but of greater power , and greater inclination for independence and initiative , or solely as a master , he summoned Xivilai , who are like the Dremora in personality and temperament , except that they hate subordination , and are liable to disloyalty and betrayal when they feel they have not been treated with the proper deference and respect . The feral , beastlike Daedra like the Clannfear and the Daedroth appear in the service of many different Daedric Powers , and may represent common creatures existing like wild animals in the wildernesses of Oblivion . Other savage , semi - intelligent creatures like Scamps and Spider Daedra may also be found in the realms of various Daedra Lords . The case of the Elemental Atronachs , on the other hand , is less certain . Flame and Frost Atronach s , for example , appear to be highly intelligent , but not all varieties of Elemental Atronachs seem to be social or to have the power of speech . Divayth Fyr preferred not to summon or deal with these creatures , had little experience with them , and showed no inclination to speculate upon their nature , so I learned little about them during my time at Tel Fyr .
