§13 – BOETHIA(H), whose sphere is deceit and conspiracy, and the secret plots of murder,
assassination, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority. 13
Also known as the Prince of Plots, Deceiver of Nations, Queen of Shadows, and Goddess of
Destruction, Boethiah loves competition and battle, and is depicted as a great caped
warrior, often in a stoic pose.
While typically depicted as male, Boethiah is occasionally referred to as female, though such
distinctions are irrelevant among the Daedric Princes, who are not bound by biological sex.

The Realm of Boethia is a realm of Oblivion, created and ruled over by Boethia, The realm
consists of stormy skies, volcanic islands and lava seas. It has also been described as a
country of labyrinthine policy and betrayals, with maze gardens and twisted towers. It is
sometimes referred to as Attribution's Share or Snake Mount. 15
§14 – CLAVICUS VILE, whose sphere is the granting of power and wishes through ritual
invocations and pacts. 16

assumes most of the time is that of a dog. Vile himself is depicted as a small jovial fellow
with horns protrud ing from his forehead. He is aptly described as a Daedra who likes souls
for the sake of having them. 17
Clavicus Vile's Realm is a realm of Oblivion, created and ruled over by Clavicus Vile. It
appears as a tranquil countryside, dotted with majestic cities of glass and ornate buildings.

referring to the female form, and Boethiah to the male – however, this is unconfirmed and can – at this time –
be considered speculation.

Those who deal with Vile take a gamble, due to his chronic unpredictability and his gifts that give more than
one bargains for.
