<\/figure>\n

Many\u00a0gamers are familiar with the alignment chart used\u00a0by\u00a0Dungeons and Dragons<\/a><\/em>\u00a0players to describe their characters’ morality and values. The\u00a0system first classifies characters as\u00a0lawful, chaotic, or somewhere in between. Second, it splits them into good, evil, or neutral. Alignment underscores motivation and personality, influencing players’ every move and action within a game.<\/p>\n

The chart’s utility\u00a0goes far beyond the realm of D&D and\u00a0can be a handy tool for describing characters<\/a> in any\u00a0setting. The universe of\u00a0The Elder Scrolls<\/a>\u00a0is certainly no exception\u2014even when it comes to those most\u00a0enigmatic of figures, the Daedric Princes.<\/p>\n

17 <\/span>Azura: Neutral Good<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Creator and patron deity of the Dunmer, Azura is perhaps the most benevolent Daedric Prince.\u00a0Like her brethren, she may punish those who displease her, but her concern for her worshippers and willingness to forgive are marks of a Good alignment.<\/p>\n

Azura\u00a0is capable of causing harm, but directs any damage towards evil forces\u2014like the power-hungry antagonists of\u00a0Morrowind<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Neither rigid nor lax, she falls easily under Neutral Good.<\/p>\n

16 <\/span>Boethiah: Chaotic Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though\u00a0revered by the Dumner as one of the Three Good Daedra,\u00a0Boethiah’s “goodness” is debatable. In the games and lore,\u00a0Boethiah\u00a0demands bloodshed to win\u00a0her favor, turns on followers without warning and relishes violence and destruction.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Boethiah is the Prince of conspiracy, sedition, and overthrow of authority. Her\u00a0very sphere dictates the disruption of order, leaving only chaos.<\/p>\n

15 <\/span>Clavicus Vile:\u00a0Chaotic Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Master of\u00a0wishes and bargains,\u00a0Vile deals with mortals more often than other Princes, generally\u00a0for his own amusement. Each bargain he strikes is kept\u2014though more often than not, its fulfillment is to the detriment of the mortal who made it.<\/p>\n

Usually, Clavicus Vile’s aims aren’t outright malicious, but his pursuit of mischief and trickery<\/a> place him squarely under Chaotic Neutral.<\/p>\n

14 <\/span>Hermaeus Mora:\u00a0Lawful Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Hermaeus Mora\u00a0has little concern for mortals\u00a0unless he can use them.\u00a0He\u00a0appears to harbor respect for mortals who, like him, strive for forbidden knowledge\u2014however, he’s not above driving them to madness.<\/p>\n

Like many Lawful Evil characters, Hermaeus Mora isn’t out for destruction. He doesn’t take pleasure in suffering, but disposes of his champions when their usefulness runs out. His only interest is\u00a0in his own goals, and he will strike the cruelest of bargains to advance them.<\/p>\n

13 <\/span>Hircine:\u00a0True Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Father of Manbeasts, Hircine holds a certain respect for those who prove themselves in his trials. As his quest in\u00a0Skyrim<\/em><\/a> shows, it is possible to incur his wrath, but he can be assuaged by an exhilarating hunt.<\/p>\n

Several Daedric princes fall under this alignment, protecting their\u00a0worshippers while ignoring other mortals.\u00a0Hircine has no affinity for destruction or deceit: he’s after the thrill of the chase,\u00a0rewarding\u00a0his devotees and punishing those who betray him.<\/p>\n

12 <\/span>Jyggalag: Lawful Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The rarely-seen Jyggalag (pictured in this image from\u00a0DeviantArt’s SPARTAN22294<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>\u00a0is the Daedric Prince of order and deduction. His domain is defined by rigidity, while his his lack of concern for mortal affairs points towards neither a good nor evil nature.<\/p>\n

As fans may know, Jyggalag and Sheogorath are the same entity<\/a>, as Jyggalag was cursed to become the opposite of everything he stood for. Considering Sheogorath’s nature, it’s little wonder that his antithesis falls under Lawful Neutral.<\/p>\n

11 <\/span>Malacath: True Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Like the Orcs who revere him, Malacath is\u00a0sometimes described as ruthless and violent. Yet, though he rules with an iron hand, it’s hard to mark him as evil<\/a>: He is a protector of the ostracized and spurned, rewarding valor in his worshippers.<\/p>\n

True Neutrals are often characterized as survivors. Malacath and his\u00a0Orsimer children embody this spirit to the letter, refusing to let the world tear them down.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Mehrunes Dagon: Neutral Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The main antagonist of\u00a0Oblivion<\/a><\/em>, Dagon’s attempts to invade\u00a0Mundus<\/a> and eradicate mortals leave no doubt as to his evil nature.\u00a0Yet,\u00a0though he revels in destruction,\u00a0Dagon always has a plan\u2014whereas Chaotic Evil violence is often arbitrary.<\/p>\n

Also unlike chaotic characters, Dagon\u00a0sees value in having underlings (in his case, the Mythic Dawn) assassinate and torture in his name.\u00a0With consistent method to his madness, Mehrunes Dagon adheres to neither law nor chaos in his pursuit of power.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>Mephala: Chaotic Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Lies, deceit, and betrayal are hallmarks of evil, and these are Mephala’s domain.\u00a0Like any Chaotic character, she\u00a0acts with only her own amusement in mind, seducing and meddling with mortals at her own whims.<\/p>\n

The patron of secret murder, Mephala is worshipped by the Morag Tong, an assassin’s guild in Morrowind<\/em>. Some speculate she may be the Night Mother, though others disagree. Regardless, her association with assassins reinforces her Evil\u00a0alignment.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Meridia: Lawful Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Daedric prince of life and energies, Meridia bears a hatred for necromancers, undead, and anyone who\u00a0uses her gifts to their own ends. This trait is central to her quests in both\u00a0Oblivion\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>, in which she recruits the protagonist to aid in her crusades.<\/p>\n

RELATED: Skyrim: 10 Things You Never Knew About Meridia<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Her adherence to her ideals marks her as one of the few Daedric princes in the Lawful column.\u00a0Neither cruel nor benevolent towards her acolytes, she seems to view them as tools, placing her in the Neutral row.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Molag Bal:\u00a0Chaotic Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There’s no question as to Molag Bal’s malevolence. Dedicated to the\u00a0enslavement and domination\u00a0of others, he relishes violence, torture, and sadism. He takes pleasure in killing, causing others to suffer, and sowing madness and fear.<\/p>\n

Constantly pursuing his own pleasure at the expense of harming innocents (and delighting in doing so), Molag Bal is truly demonic\u2014an adjective often used to describe the Chaotic Evil alignment.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Namira: True Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Lady of Decay, like others under this alignment, demonstrates care for her devotees and little for other mortals. Though her\u00a0cult’s practices seem grotesque, Namira\u00a0guarantees her worshippers safety and security in their twisted little family.<\/p>\n

Outside of her following, she doesn’t meddle much in mortal concerns, and mostly keeps to herself with her spiders and slugs.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Nocturnal: Chaotic Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There’s no doubt that\u00a0Nocturnal’s essence is one of obscurity<\/a>, making her alignment hard to pin down.\u00a0At times, she appears motherly,\u00a0guarding and demanding greatness from her acolytes; at others, she is cold and exacting in her punishments.<\/p>\n

RELATED: Skyrim: 10 Facts You Didn’t Know About The Daedra<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Capable of kindness and cruelty, Nocturnal falls under neither good nor evil. She is, however,\u00a0a patron to thieves, dedicated to mystery and mischief. Like her Nightingale wards, she falls most comfortably under Chaotic Neutral\u2026though her motives remain mysterious.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Peryite:\u00a0Lawful\u00a0Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Despite his role as the Prince of Pestilence, Peryite’s plagues aren’t made to cause destruction; as his acolytes explain, they are used as a means of cleansing.<\/p>\n

He displays an affinity for order, expressing disgust for followers who “have strayed from the path.” Like many of his brethren, Peryite is exacting in his punishments and generous in his rewards\u2014he is somewhat unremarkable, but never with evil intentions.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Sanguine: Chaotic Good<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Everyone needs to cut loose now and again, and Sanguine has a knack for knowing exactly how to help. The Daedric prince of\u00a0drinking and debauchery, Sanguine’s\u00a0goal\u00a0is to show his devotees a good time.<\/p>\n

Partiers might wake up with raging headaches, but ultimately, Sanguine is well-intentioned. At the very least, a night with him is never boring and ends with incredible stories.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Sheogorath: Chaotic Neutral<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Sheogorath radiates chaotic energy.\u00a0He doesn’t concern\u00a0himself with the welfare of others, nor does he harbor evil intentions. His only objective is to sow madness, confusion, and cheese wherever he goes.<\/p>\n

Even\u00a0Sheogorath’s\u00a0artifact in Skyrim<\/em><\/a> embodies a Chaotic Neutral spirit: Each blast from the Wabbajack is random. The result could be a regular firebolt or an enemy’s sudden transformation into a sweetroll.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Vaermina:\u00a0Neutral Evil<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Terror, torment, psychological trickery…\u00a0Vaermina’s sphere\u00a0is characterized by Evil traits. She enjoys meddling in mortal affairs, playing mind games and seeing how far she can push victims.<\/p>\n

Vaermina causes\u00a0fear and suffering for its own sake; however, unlike Chaotic Evil characters, she sees benefit in working with others. As evidenced by her quest in\u00a0Skyrim<\/em>, Vaermina inspires a dedicated cult, whom she allows to do her dirty work for her.<\/p>\n
