Daedric Forces of Undead

The **Daedric Forces of Undead**, also known as the **UnDead Army**, and formerly known as **Forces of the Undead** in the Aedra, were a powerful Daedric and personal army of Haidoneus, God of the Dead, hailing from his realm of Oblivion, the Underworld. Existing since time immemorial, the power of Haidoneus's army was witnessed primarily during the events of the Orsinium Conquest of Cyrodiil. Haidoneus worked in concert with the UnDead Cult.

## History

The date of the formation of the Forces of Undead is unknown. As the Deadgod, Haidoenus controls the UnDead, the Forces also including the undead creatures under Haideonus's command: Draugr, Ghosts, Skeletons, Liches, Skeletons, Wraiths, and Dragon Priests. Even Haidoenus himself not a product of the original creation of the Daedra. In fact, he is actually ex-Aedra deity, worshipping in the Altmeri Pantheon. The Forces were contained within Haideonus's realm, the Underworld of Oblivion. Like the Forces of Destruction, the Forces of the Undead have been called into service, and it is often for an invasion.

### Fueding with Dagon

During the Oblivion Crisis, Haidoneus and his Forces of the Undead, still under the Aedra, found an aware alliance with Mehrunes Dagon's invasion of Cyrodiil and that triggers after the assassination of Uriel Septim VII. He, himself fought against Dagon himself but failed, however a prisoner who later to become the Hero of Kvatch, who saves Kvatch and Bruma from the Daedra attacks. Haidoneus allied himself and traveled with the Hero to secure the heir of the throne which later to become Martin Septim as Emperor. Dagon invaded the Imperial City, but only to defeated by the Hero and Haidoneus, but only to truly the Martin becomes an avatar of Akatosh, which and fuses with Martin and defeated Dagon finally. This is the final time before getting corrupted.

### Invasion of Cyrodiil

During the plot of *The Elder Scrolls VI: Invasion*, the Heroine of Cyrodiil serves the Emperor Titus III as his champion and become the Champion of Cyrodiil. During the events of the Orsinium Conquest, led by Shamar the Lord Usurper, which killed the Emperor and Shamar become the usurper, but Melgreah helped General Crassius Avento to re-took the Imperial City and killed Shamar and General become the first Emperor of the Avento Dynasty, which the crown was giving to Lioninus Avento and accepted the crown.

## Forces

The main soldiers of Haideonus's army were the Wrathman and the Draugr, his most loyal and intelligent servants. The Undead are responsible for the relatively well-kept appearance of such areas; many underground tombs and barrows feature lit torches, candles and sconces, which are likely maintained by resident undead, particularly to those not using suitable weapons/magic. This is especially so for Ghosts and Wraiths, who can only be hit with silver, Daedric, or enchanted weapons. Undead are typically weak to fire, so a fire weapon or spell is recommended when fighting them.

They are usually found in large numbers, and stronger undead (such as Liches and vampires) will often be surrounded by weaker ones. The other undead that the Deadgod controlled is;

* Ghost
* Corrupted Shade
* Vampires
* Lich
* Skeleton
* Zombie
* Wispmother
* Boneman
* Keeper DG
* Mistman DG
* Reaper DG
* Dragon Priests
* Mummy
