The Elder Scrolls Lore: Meridia

Is it bad id actually consider her one of the worst daedra, atleast with mehrunes dagon or boethiah and most of the others you know what to expect but meridia will claim to be a being of light and praise love almost divinity and claim to hate the undead, but will empower an empire of elves that reveal in torture necromancy and slavery... and still claim to be a being of light. I think meridias true purpose is yet to be seen in the elderscrolls she was KICKED out of atherius after all and im beginning to think the reason may be alot worse than we've come to believe...

Dawnbreaker is always my weapon of choice in Skyrim. I always questioned why Meridia would be a Daedra instead of an Aedra. I guess because she only wants light to prevail on Nirn instead of death and darkness? I would like to see TES6 give more depth into Meridia as a villian.

Meridia sounds like the mother of all religious zealots lol

Say what you want, but Meridia is just as bad as Molag Bal in the end, if not even worse. A villain with good publicity.

Still hoping ESO finally stops dancing around the issue and has her take the big bad role. The hints have dragged on long enough, and Khajiiti myths on her are pretty damning (and when it comes to metaphysics, Khajiit are usually more accurate than the other races).

And I sincerely doubt that whatever we (as Vestige) got from Meridia at the end of Planemeld really was our soul. She's not that kind.

suprise mephala and meridia are girlfriends

fantastic job!

She deserves to have a redemption ark in the future elder scrolls lore.
Michael Kirk Briar should come up with a story about Meridia being born as a human vessel and allowing her to understand mortals.

Meridia... Well, i kinda like her for being the counter-part of Molag Bal in ESO, but if you think about this on daedric level it's kind of funny.

I mean, ESO is basically Meridia and Molag Bal, both being brother and sister (same age), who are constantly fighting over their favorite toy and Tamriel is just between both of them like "Have mercy, i beg you!" while constantly being torn from both sides.

Daedric princes. Daedric princes never change...

Meridia is neither good nor evil. She is a TES divine being, wich means she does not operate with terms "good" and "evil". She is a freaking god of light, and light is always useful. Also, she is hostile to the corrupted, which is useful for all mortals. So if i was living in TES world, i would work for her without a second thought.
So what if she supported the Ayleids? Ayleids are not a race, they are a diferent species. They are not humans of diferent hair, eye or skin color. Ayleids were superior to humans, just like in real life humans are superior to all other animals. So if humans in reality do not treat other species as they treat humans, why would fictional Ayleids treat humans as Ayleids?

I'll never forgive her for what she did during the Ayleid era. She's worse than evil. I'd rather worship azura.

first song

lovely voice, hopeful you find some voice over work late;ly

My favorite Daedra. I find her fascinating how she almost hates what she herself is.

It would be cool if Miridea'z hatred of the undead waz somehow linked to her being left behind when all the magna gi (butchered, lol) hit warp speed & peaced ☮ out.

Yeah she has to be just a little evil if she helped the Ayleids fight the slave rebellion by lending them her Army

There’s a mod I use on Skyrim if you’re a vampire then dawn breaker will damage you over time if you equip it making it a bit more true to the lore

Impressive presentation. I'm off to grab the golden armour now... :-D I was using light green elf until today...

On my last playthrough of skyrim I tried my hand at a Dunmer merchant who was down on his luck after a series of unfortunate events. But a few character arcs later, he had turned into a Witcher/monster hunter in service to Meridia, wielding the mighty dawn breaker and with the aid of several enchanted masks crafted in honor of "the purified", scoured all of skyrim for the artifacts of oblivion so as to keep them safely guarded and locked away from evil hands.
Elves are not a particular favorite of mine but I gotta admit, this one grew on me.

tbh i really like Meridia
especially coo o l sord

She DID help the Aeyleids but like... do you expect a deity to NOT help their followers?

It's sort of Ironic, Necromancers tend to use the dead as slaves to their will.

Though Meridia does the same but in the opposite, in that it's eternal life but as her puppet.

I always like it when I recognize the song, this is from nier automata! And mannimarco had one winged angel

Though I despise anything Daedric, I've always found Meridia to be the more tolerable of her evil peers.

When your videos get too long...
...and start repeating the same info..

Video was well done, but 15min still needs to be edited out, starting with, Golden Saints

I like to think that Meridia has become corrupted in some way by ending up with the Daedra. That she was a good goddess, but that being in close contact with the Daedra, she’s become corrupted by the darkness, which fuels her more sinister actions. She retains her good side, her hatred of the undead, but her methods have a dark side to them, which, perhaps, is exactly why she was trapped in Oblivion and the longer she remains among them, the more corrupted she becomes by the darkness. It could explain a lot about her, really.

I think its great the corrupted dawnbreaker is known as duskbringer. I used to name my sword dusk bringer and use the lunar forge enchant.

MERIDIA-SAMA, I KNEEL!!!!

"This suggests that somehow Meridia can change the speed at which time moves" Whoever came up with that lore deserves a raise, even if its 20 years too late.

Miss this channel

God, I recognized Lady Maria's theme as soon as I heard it and had to check the description to confirm I hadn't gone insane

lmao

Neither evil not moral. That's what I make of Meridia.

Meridia tricked my boy Darien in the eso zone quests for Summerset .

Meridia is on my shit list for being the aylids champion.

The line about Merid-Nunda compressing the Dragon makes a weird amount of sense. Meridia is linked to the visible spectrum of light (and most Magna-Ge are thought of in terms of colors and light, as far as I remember) where on one end we have longwave red and on the other - shortwave blue/violet. It might be linked to blueshifted and redshifted stellar objects, though we don't know if light of Aurbis behaves in a way remotely similar to ours or not, and of course faraway stars and galaxies are completely different in nature, being holes in Oblivion and all. The speed of light and time being stopped for anything travelling that fast, time dilation as a phenomenon, might be connected to more ancient aspects of Meridia somehow. She can change the speed at which time moves, because she corresponds to the fundamental concept that writes time dilation into the equation of the world. But don't take it too seriously, it's just ramblings.

And... she's not really my favorite Daedra. I just don't trust her. She is incredibly interesting, one of the most interesting Daedra for sure, and appreciation for all that's living and light is good and all but she seems to desire rigid, absolute control. This is where I tend to trust Khajiit mythology.

Dawnbreaker is such a fun sword. Makes all undead go boom

"A Beautiful Song", from Nier Automata was a great selection representing Meridia. When you described her it reminded me of a carnivorous plant. She lures you in with promises of glitz and glamour. By time you realized you're trapped it's already too late.

Just wanted to say I enjoy your videos, your voice is soothing to listen to.

Where’d you lady of scrolls :( you are missed

How do u steal a tattoo? Cut the skin off the person?

My favorite title she has is "The Shining Bitch"

Is meridia an aedra or daedra?

Amazing music choice🔥 that dark souls ost hitting while learning about the daedra😂

While Meridia likes to present herself as being the wholesome loving mother of light and what not the truth is that she can be just as down right bitchy as some of the other Daedric princes for example she is our best friend during the main quest of ESO but when her 'vessel' no longer worked thec way she wanted it to because we were friends with him she essentially swears eternal vengeance on us

Thanks for the video!

I like Azura the best of all the Aedra/Daedra. Also, I enjoy your knowledge on the Elder Scrolls. You have earned yourself a sub.

She would deny the resurrection of the dead. She is a foul demon princess.

I touched the beacon only once, now i avoid it like herpes

She’s lucifer.

She was kinda forceful... Grabbing me into the fucking stratosphere and all that. Kinda rude.

A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE FUCKING BEACON


lmao hey guys sorry I had to get the beaten joke out of the way. But anyway, I hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday this year! I will try to upload my 20k special before the New Year, but if not, I will see you in 2020! I'm unsure why I did Meridia for a Christmas special of sorts, I suppose Holy Angels and Light and stuff kinda reminded me of Christmas a bit. But again, thank you all for a wonderful year of 2019 for my channel, I'm excited to be working on further projects of the channel! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
