The Daedric Prince You Didn't Know Existed - Elder Scrolls Lore

it's commonly accepted that there are 17 Daedric princes in the Elder Scrolls universe all of which you probably know of but in actuality there may be princes that have just never entered common knowledge it is a fallacy to think that there are only 17 Daedric princes it's more accurate to say that there are only 17 days Prince's that we know of the crux of this idea stems from the fact that there are almost 2 Daedra for every aedra there are 9 gods and 17 Daedric princes this is significant because the older scholars universe always needs to be in balance because it is shaped like a wheel on a fundamental level if you don't know what I mean by that then please do watch my video on the universe of the old scrolls for an in-depth explanation because it's quite a complex idea but as I said the Elder Scrolls universe is shaped as a wheel and the Adria are equal to the gaps of the wheel while the Daedra are the spokes if you count the gaps between the spokes from spoke to spoke then you realize that there is a 1 to 2 ratio the suggestion is that the number of powerful Daedric Prince's must always be double the number of powerful Adria this means that there may be one more major Daedric prince that we don't know about the book on oblivion from the fourth game mentions that just because the 17 Daedric princes are commonly known because they appear in legends and book after book does not mean to say that this proves that there are only 17 as I said as only 17 according to limited human experience it's important to note as well to prove this idea of there being a pattern between the number of Adria and Adria that the number has only been temporarily out of balance and it's generally been in balance before you see before the apotheosis of Talos and before the splitting of Cher goth and jig like in the Shivering Isles they all see for oblivion there were eight Daedra and sixteen Daedric princes this fits the two-to-one ratio and therefore the fundamental nature of the universe it's also important to take into account that Malekith and meridia originally were not Daedric princes but Adria albeit not the most powerful Adria so it could be argued that the circumstances in which Malikov and meridia came to be Daedric princes was fated in some way because of this imbalance between Daedra and Adria but the most important question that we all need to be considering is who is possibly this unknown eighteenth Daedric Prince there are a few theories and wisps of information about this but the fact that the eighteenth Daedric prince is unknown is an answer in itself we genuinely don't know for sure but let's go over some of the very conjectural information that perhaps pertains this 18th Daedric Prince some think that the Bacchus could be the unknown prints.this Daedra was and sometimes still is worshiped by a select few mortals as the painter and saint of limitations and impotence a rather odd title I know the Bacchus enjoyed a limited time where he was worshipped by cults across the middle however by the time of Skyrim as far as we know no one really worships him anymore nonetheless it's possible that the Bacchus constitutes as an extremely weak Daedric prince another tenuous possibility is that the realm of the hist which is supposed to be a realm of oblivion somehow constitutes as a Daedric prince in its entirety usually a realm of oblivion is simply an extension of a Daedric prince so maybe the realm of the hist simply manifests from the collective conscience of the trees and thus counts as a Daedric prince in itself either way it would be a bit odd if this was the case because no one really considers the hist having any real power other than over the argonians but either way it's a possibility in the end it all depends on how you define a Daedric prince is a prince merely a powerful Daedra or is there something else that makes up their fabric anyway thanks watching this video if you want to see more Elder Scrolls law and speculation videos then feel free to check out my channel thanks again and I'll see you in the next one
