Like what do you mean she’s also a lost Magna Ge who was worshipped heavily by the Ayleids but she’s the “Prime” one who represents multicolored white light instead of the singular red light of Meridia who’s just one of 8 lesser Magna Ge/Coruscations.

And then we get some nonsense about how she alone just happened to be like “Oh, within the interplay of Anu and Sithis anything is possible and also only I really understood Lorkhan and also I created the concept of the prisoner”.

Maybe we should’ve given that little nugget of lore to Azura whose sphere is literally the time of day when light and dark interplay and whose prophetic abilities created the “prisoner” of Morrowind aka the Neravine? Azurah who’s already stated as being so close to Lorkhaj that she held him as he died?

Regarding Meridia getting ripped off though, I do have one hope that Ithelia is just gonna straight up be part of a Merid-Nunda who stole something from Azurah(power over the Varliance Gate which contains many potential futures) before being split into the Nine Coruscations/Nine named Magna-Ge.

The first two parts describe a battle between Boethra/Mafala/Azurah vs Molagh/Dagon/Merid-Nunda. In it the Lunar Lattice is attacked by the latter three, seemingly in an attempt to steal control of a “Varliance” aka Starlight gate that contains many possibilities for the future. This gate has previously been said to be under Azurah’s control. The fight starts with Meridia being described as a Rainbow Angel who shines with the all the colors of the sun and ends with Merid-Nunda being split into her many colors.

here's my take on clavicus vile! kept his design mostly inspired by the ESO appearance

-> the coins attached to his robe are the same coins that mortals toss into wishing wells - he just extracts them afterwards and keeps em on his person -> when he traverses the night sky his sash falls behind him, and all the coins twinkle, which creates the illusion of a shooting star (that people wish upon! :D azura doesn't like it)

his daggerfall design sort of inspired me to make a timeline of his appearance changing, i think it would be cool for clavicus to be a daedra that visually "grows up"

and of course closeups under read more!

apparently, reddit nuked the "meridia is a black hole" post. here's how I understand/remember this theory

meridia was once merid-nunda, a star orphan. black holes form when massive stars collapse at the end of their life cycle

massive objects (like black holes) create strong gravitational fields that curve and stretch the "fabric" of space-time. "… thus does Merid-Nunda [ride? slide?] across the rainbow road from end to end, at one end stretching the Dragon [Akatosh, the Time God], at the other end compressing him …. - Exegesis of Merid-Nunda

black holes can "bend" the light rays that pass close enough to them. this is how meridia created her colored rooms. "But Merid-Nunda formed of her substance a great drag-lens, and the light of Magnus was bent thereby. The rays [carved? focused?] a new sphere from the chaos, which Merid-Nunda, [laughing? sparkling?], did claim for her own." - Exegesis of Merid-Nunda

"For Meridia, time is said to be relative, and her priestesses have been known to grant time-altering blessing" - UESP just google "black holes time travel"

"the Daedra Lady of Greed" - UESP yeah, it's about her strong gravitational field

"To MERIDIA who contains the Plenum" - PGE. Plenum (physics), a space completely filled with matter. black holes are incredibly dense

meridia's light is not her own! if material such as gas, dust or stars gets too close to a black hole, it gets sucked in by the enormous gravitational force. as it falls towards the black hole, it heats up and becomes incredibly bright

why does he have fawn spots, anyway?
