How The Elder Scrolls’ Hermaeus Mora Changed Over the Years

The Elder Scrolls franchise’s lore is inspired by a variety of established mythologies, religious stories, and legends all over the world. The deities the people praise aren’t always benevolent and kind. This is evidenced by the Daedric Princes, extremely powerful entities who inhabit the realm of Oblivion and get summoned by citizens of Tamriel through rituals and spells. Most of them are deceitful and cruel, too, with the perfect example being the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora, whom Skyrim players may be familiar with.
