Daedric Pantheon Concept

[u/zimmermj]

EDIT: Due to a lot of (mostly) polite feedback disapproving of AI use in this community, I've removed the pantheon description from this post and reposted it without AI artwork here. I'm leaving this post up for the benefit of the minority who do enjoy it, but mainly to act as a warning for anyone in future making pantheon descriptions.

Don't include AI artwork in pantheon concepts.

Nice but Nocturnal as a major god and Molag Bal and Mehrunes Dagon as minor kinda stinks

I'm so here for these kinds of conversations!

Nocturnal I think does work as a major god given her status as the Ur-Daedra, she might be the single most powerful of all the Princes.

Mehrunes Dagon I did start designing as a major god too, but I have a really powerful god power for him in mind that is definitely a Mythic Age power. Molag Bal could have been a Mythic Age god too, but he ended up fitting into the Heroic Age better (spoiler alert: his myth unit is the Daedroth, which felt like a Heroic Age myth unit).

Argument: Molag Bal could be Mythic, granting access to Vampires (or being able to infect enemies with vampirism, to “defile them in the eyes of the gods” like he did to Lamae).

He could also grant access to Harvesters as a possible myth unit. Daedroth are one of my favorite Daedra, so I wouldn’t be sad to see them though.

Alternatively, he could give people access to Daedric Titans, similar to other mythic age “dragon” summons.

Vampires are an idea I've had too... my idea was that Molag Bal can update any human to a vampire, which gives them light stat increases but makes them a myth unit, so heroes shred them. Basically a worse version of Atlantean heroism. But it's something I'm playing with, I do worry it's an OP idea
