This probably began on a small scale among the Ayleids, those Elves who left the Summerset Isles to create splinter cultures in central and southwest Tamriel-in some cases specifically to evade the strictures of Aldmeri regulation, which forbade (among many other things) the worship of Daedra.Īs Ayleid culture flourished, drawing ever further from Alinor, in the last millennium of the Merethic Era Daedric worship took hold and spread among the Heartland High Elves. The Aldmeri, who'd been first to begin organized worship of the Aedra, were also the first to venerate the Daedra Lords. The opinions of the so-called academic who styles herself ' Lady Cinnabar' notwithstanding, the evidence supporting my assertions is incontrovertible and generally accepted by all accredited scholars of antiquity.

The reasons why the Daedra are reviled and their worship forbidden among all the civilized races of Tamriel are well understood, and as this series of papers will show, are grounded in historical events.
