Meridia

==Summary==
Meridia is the Daedric Prince of Life, Light and Living Energies. Though her sphere is obscured and incomprehensible to most mortals, she is one of the few Daedra considered to not be wholly evil, but instead benevolent to an extent, as she is associated with the energies of all living things, and is believed to defend her followers from the undead. Meridia harbors a deep, everlasting hatred for all undead beings, seeing them as an affront to life itself, and as such is directly opposed to Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Domination and lord of all vampires. She was among the most revered deities of the ancient Ayleid Empire, and unlike most Daedric Princes, Meridia genuinely cared for her worshipers, having directly intervened when the city of Delodiil was attacked by Molag Bal's daedric armies. Thousands of years later, when Molag Bal sought to consume Nirn with the Planesmeld, Meridia personally aided The Vestige in their journey and helped stop the Prince's schemes, as she wished to preserve life on the mortal world.
However, Meridia didn't always rank among the Principalities of Oblivion. She was once known as Merid-Nunda, and belonged to the Pantheon of the Magne-Ge, the Star Children of the Et'Ada Magnus, the Architect of the Mortal Plane. Though she fled from the Mundus along with her father and siblings, Merid-Nunda wouldn't remain within the Anuic harmony of Aetherius forever, and eventually assumed her current position as a Daedric Prince. What brought Merid-Nunda's fall is unclear, with some sources suggesting that Magnus himself cast her out of Aetherius when she sought to stop an event known as "The Breaking", while others suggest that she descended onto Oblivion out of her own free will. What is known however, is that after falling to the Interplanar Void, Meridia created her own realm, the Colored Rooms, to serve as a "great drag-lens" that bent the pure light of Magnus, refracting it into all the known and unknown colors that reach Mundus. Therefore, Meridia can be said to be directly responsible for the existence and perception of color in the Mortal Plane, and thus she is said to contain the Plenum of color and energy within her realm.
