Thirdly, and finally, we must ask “When, and why – in individuals – does this practice
originate?”
§35 –The first question is possibly the simplest to answer, but also has a major flaw, for it
simply cannot be answered with certainty. 79 However, what we can know for certainty is
this; Daedra Worship did not exist before the introduction of the Daedra into the series’
lore 80 and has (at least) existed in the form of an online forum since its creation 81 , leaving a
timespan of unaccounted days to 6094 (16 years, 8 months, and 8 days). At the current time
of publication, however, no more can be said on the matter.
