cosmictragedy There are 19 Daedric princes total. Almost all of them are considered genderless since their creation and have their own parts to play. This makes them incredibly dangerous and powerful as they can not be killed even by a half-devil (such as Dante)
Nocturnal – The Prince of the night and darkness, the patron of all things secretive.
Physical descriptions of Nocturnal are difficult to come by, as she is usually described as being hidden by darkness and shadow. Usually takes the form of a nondescript human woman, draped in a hooded cloak that hides most of her features and body.
Her very nature is such that humans cannot understand her, as she is the embodiment of the unfathomable and enigmatic. Nocturnal's deception is not usually meant to be harmful or violent in the manner of Boethiah. Rather, the unknowable nature of Nocturnal is the core of her being, and serves no real ulterior purposes beyond being mysterious. This is a reason she is considered more of a good Prince.
Evergloam is the mysterious realm of Nocturnal, and seems to have some connection with the "luck" that thieves seem to enjoy. The Evergloam is dark and foggy, containing gloomy and dangerous creatures.
Peryite – The Taskmaster, the Daedric Prince of Pestilence, desires order in his domain.
Despite his dragon-like appearance, he is considered one of the weakest of the Daedric Princes. Indirectly, Peryite has influenced the lives of nearly every mortal inhabitant throughout history; he is the Lord of Pestilence, the cause of many plagues and pandemic diseases. He is typically listed along with princes such as Mehrunes Dagon and Vaermina as one of the few truly evil Daedric Lords.
The Pits is the plane where Peryite resides. It it not assessible to anyone except the Gatekeeper. Anyone who seems to try ends up in another plane, often the Deadlands.
Sanguine – The Prince of hedonism, debauchery, and the further indulgences of one's darker nature.
Sanguine enjoys playing pranks on others, one such example being a spell that removes the clothing of everyone within the spell's radius. Although a joker, Sanguine prefers to drag mortals down to sinful lifestyles by means of temptation and humiliation.
Misty Grove is the plane that belongs to Sanguine. It is one of the few hosibilitple places for mortals as a path leads to a large grove with plenty of food and wine.
Vaermina – The Prince of dreams and nightmares, a deliverer of evil omens and dark portents.
Vaermina's physical appearance is usually that of a female mage, complete with a flowing robe with deep sleeves and a magic staff. She is one of the Daedric Princes that is consistently depicted as evil or demonic, with a strong preference for psychological torture. At the same time, Daedra worshipers will often pray to her just before sleeping, likely in hopes of warding off any potential meetings during their rest.
Upon speaking to her, Vaermina will explain that mortals visit her constantly in their nightmares, speak to her in their sleep, and often wake in a cold sweat upon leaving her presence. Most mortals are unaware of this meeting, however, as they cannot remember anything that occurred during their dreams. After a true, remembered encounter with the Daedric Lord, her followers often claim that nothing on any world holds any fear for them, as nothing can possibly be as frightening as being in Vaermina's presence.
The Quagmire is a plane associated with Vaermina. Every time lightning strikes, reality shifts to another horrifying vision. It could be anything, from a dark castle, a den of terrifying beasts, a moonlit swamp, or even a casket in which one sees oneself buried.
Bahamut – The Prince of Death, Burials, funeral rites, heaven and Reincarnation
Unlike the other Princes, he is argueably the most powerful, even moreso than Jyggalag. However, because of his true purpose, he is the only one that could actually destroy another Daedric Lord if he wished it. He often prefers to take a male form with red eyes. When he is not in a human form, he will take the form of any animal. Bahamut has been known to be the father of the creations such as the Auphe and the Leviathans as they bring death and have little fear of it themselves. He even is said to have created Death himself. He is the only Lord to be considered neutral since he favors no one.
Due nearly wiping out the entire existence of half-devils by consuming their souls to avoid their chance at reincarnation, he himself had been cursed by Sparda to have humanity and to serve his bloodline.
Winter Expanse/Fields is the plane which Bahamut resides. The air is fragrant with flowering trees. The petals have covered the ground making it look like snow.
Mundus - Prince of Creation, Imagination, the patron of Rulers
Mundus often takes the form a of a marble statue of a three-eyed, angelic male youth with long hair. His other form is a grotesque, writhing mass of living tissue, with three eyeballs and hundreds of hands coming out of it. Like Mehrunes Dagon, he sees other worlds as his plane to conquer and has tried many times and failed to succeed. He has no loyalty or compassion for his followers, ruthlessly killing his own generals if they fail him.
Mundus sought revenge against Sparda and is directly responsible for the death of Eva, Dante and Vergil's mother. In return Sparda managed to seal Mundus away in a Vault on an island called Mallet.
Deceptive Labyrinth is a plane which belongs to Mundus. It is ever changing and looks different to anyone who manages to find it. It bears deceivingly sweet smelling fruit which is not safe to eat.
Sparda - Prince of magic, seals, willpower, rebellion, protection of the weak
In taking a human form, Sparda is a tall, handsome man with blue eyes, a youthful face, and slicked-back white hair. Not originally a Daedra Lord as he served as Mundus' right hand. Though he was considered to be one of his creations, he was too powerful to be controlled by his master. He gained humanity and chose to fight against him and his created legions and single handed defeated them. His accomplishment gained him his place among the other Princes.
He is greatly associated with many forms of magic, his most notably powerful seal locked Mundus away even from his own Daedric plane. And he managed to curse the Bahamut into having humanity and the need to serve his family. He created some of the most powerful magical artifacts that can be used by magical beings, but it is most powerful in the hands of anyone from his lineage. These artifacts are known to be Force Edge, Yamato, Rebellion and the Perfect Amulet.
Crimson Refuge the plane that belongs to Sparda. This below-sea-level basin is a desert valley that has steady drought and high heat which makes it a land of extremes. Yet, each extreme has a striking contrast. Towering peaks are frosted with winter snow. Rare rainstorms bring vast fields of wildflowers. There is a castle up in the mountains.
Nocturnal – The Prince of the night and darkness, the patron of all things secretive.
Physical descriptions of Nocturnal are difficult to come by, as she is usually described as being hidden by darkness and shadow. Usually takes the form of a nondescript human woman, draped in a hooded cloak that hides most of her features and body.
