A Treatise on the Subject of Daedra Worship, 1st Edition, 2016 1st Edition, 2016 | Page 17

Vaermina [also spelt Vaernima] is known as "Vaernima the Gifter" and "Weaver of the
Panoply". She is seen as one of the "demonic" Daedra, and some have also claimed her
sphere ties somehow to torture. 66
Vaermina's plane of Oblivion is Quagmire, which is described as a nightmare realm, where
every few minute’s reality shifts and becomes ever more horrifying.
"A dark castle one moment, a den of ravening beasts the next, a moonlit swamp, a
coffin where he was buried alive." 67
§27 – An analysis of the information about the Princes, however, only focuses on how they
are presented in-game. 68 Whilst the sources themselves – quoted in the bibliography – are
quoted from an “unofficial” source, their content is extracted directly from the games.
What is Daedra Worship? What
does it entail?
§28 – Although Daedra Worship has been previously defined in this treatise, it is apparent
that it cannot be overstated, and will thus be restated and expanded on;
Daedra Worship: “the worship of a singular or plurality of the seventeen Daedric Princes,
either in isolation or in conjunction with other deities.”
§29 –An expansion of this includes what I have deemed “The Tribunal factors” in that (in
defining a Daedra Worshipper) must have present 2 of the 3 following traits:
1. Belief in the Prince, their Plane of Oblivion and the Daedric inhabitants who associate
with these Princes.

Whilst this technique is somewhat flawed as having the potential to becoming irrelevant when the real-life
worship of the Daedra is concerned, it should be noted that this technique – due to the absence of previous
research having been conducted – is essential in order to give the reader a basic background of the Daedra,
and the features that one would expect to find in the real-life revelations of worship.
