<div align="center"><font face=5>So the Daedra Lords created the Daedric Realms, and all the ranks of Lesser Daedra, great and small</div> </p>
<font face=1>Why so many so-called learned scholars would close their minds because one of the many slanted creation myths state this as a fact is beyond comprehension. What can be said is that there is more proof supporting a contrary theory. The following will outline support on why it is more feasible to conclude that lesser Daedra are not aspects of particular Daedric princes, but are in fact Et'Ada just as independent as each prince is in relation to one another, save that these lesser Daedra are much weaker then their respective prince and are thus forced to serve them for protection.<br>
<br>
<font face=2><IMG src=?Book/fancy_font/c_59x61.dds? width=59 height=61>ontention One: <font face=1>Consider implied evidence. According to the traditional Yokudan creation myth still transcribed by the Redguards to this day: </p>
<font face=2><IMG src=�Book/fancy_font/c_59x61.dds� width=59 height=61>ontention One: <font face=1>Consider implied evidence. According to the traditional Yokudan creation myth still transcribed by the Redguards to this day: </p>
<div align="center"><font face=5>He continued to place stars to map out the void for others, but after so many cycles there were almost too many spirits to help out.</div></p>
<font face=1>This is just one of the many myths that discusses the immense population of Et'Ada in the pre-Mundane Aurbis. There is no way to measure exactly how many Aedra there once were, but what we can be sure is that the majority of them aligned with Anu. Even if we were to assume there were one hundred Aedra that participated in the creation of Mundus, that is one hundred Anu-aligned Et'Ada. If one is to believe that the only Daedra Et'Ada (and thus Padomayic Et'Ada) were the 16 Daedric princes minus Malcath, Sheogorath and Meridia (who were born later) plus Lorkhan (who also aligned with Padomay) then that is only fourteen Padomayics in the pre-Mundane Aurbis! Such an uneven number could not be right, and is certainly not conducive to supporting the fact that the Aurbis was once crowded. Thus there must have been more Padomayic spirits in existence in pre-Mundane times. However, who is to say they do not still exist? Who is to say they are not in fact the immortal lesser Daedra we know today?<br>
<br>
<font face=2><IMG src=?Book/fancy_font/c_59x61.dds? width=59 height=61>ontention Two:<font face=1> Scant dialogue with lesser Daedra and observation within Daedric planes supports the "separate Et'Ada" theory. After the disaster at Battlespire, some documents belonging to the so called "hero of Battlespire" were recovered. One such document was a message written by a more tempered and less hostile Daedra of the Dremora breed. According to said Dremora: </p>

<div align="center"><font face=5>We serve by choice. We serve the strong, so that their strength might shield us. Clans serve by long-practice, but practice may change. Dremora have long served Dagon but not always so.</div></p>
<font face=1>It is obvious what these words suggest. They suggest, as this author stated before, a system in which these Daedra (completely separate from their prince) chose only
to serve their prince due to the protection such a powerful entity grants. Once more, observation of reports on the Battlespire incident record Dark Seducers among Dagon?s troops. However, decades later when mortals were granted access to the realm of Sheogorath, the Shivering Isles, many of the mortals that were not maddened and managed to return to Mundus report that the Seducers now serve Sheogorath. Clearly these Seducers present a change in allegiance. What?s more, the Shivering Isles were also seen to be populated by Hunger (or so claim these so-called witnesses). As anyone well-versed in Daedric studies would know, the

As anyone well-versed in Daedric studies would know, the
Hunger are often associated with the Daedroth Boethiah. Either Boethiah and Sheogorath
had entered into some hidden alliance or the Hunger entered this realm on their own accord. And of course, one cannot forget the Atronachs, who have long been regarded as "masterless Daedra". Clearly all these separate instances prove that the lesser Daedra have minds and identities separate from their masters.<br>

If the dictum that all planets are of infinite space, and size only denotes power, then these "moons" would appear to be beings like the princes, only of lesser power. Observing these planets, one may notice that they correspond with the Princes' lesser Daedric minion races. Indeed, interviews with some captured Dremora from the Battlespire incident have even confirmed this. This beings said, the presence of such bodies highlights the separation between the Lesser Daedra and their masters, proving that they are indeed separate entities.<br>

<div align="center"><font face=5>How typical. You mortals love to take a pebble of information and construct entire realms of conjecture upon it.

Or with Mehrunes Dagon. Do not speak his name to me again. The Master of Scum. The pawn of every Prince of true power, the dupe of every schemer in the Nineteen Voids. Do you think you know anything of the politics, factions, feuds, vendettas, wars of Oblivion? Do you think Oblivion such a simple place, that the tale of the loyalties of a great people such as the Mazken could be encompassed in a brief tale?

<font face=1><DIV align="center">A Treatise on Daedra of the Lesser Variety
<br>
by Mortazo<br>
<br>
<font face=2><DIV align="left">序文： <font face=1>人が「Daedra」という言葉に言及した際、多くの考えが思い浮かぶものである。Daedraの王子である、Oblivionの君主たちのことを考える人がいるかもしれない。あるいは、彼らのより卑小なDaedraの軍団、またはOblivionそれ自体の領域そのものに思いを馳せるかもしれない。多くの洗練された学者は、三つ全てが実際は同じ存在の側面であるとしばしば主張する。一般に信じられていることは、各々の王子が単に管轄する領域と、その王子のLesser Daedraの軍団が、王子を反映したものであるということである。この考えは、現代における多くの学術集団に強く根ざすものであるが、この書写の意見では誤っているものとする。Cyrodiilの創造神話において、問題があり、不確定要素を孕むフレーズに端を発したものである。
<br>
<div align="center"><font face=5>そしてDaedra LordはDaedraの領域と、Lesser Daedraの軍勢を、上位から下位の者まで全て作り出した。（訳注１）</div><br>
<div align="left"><font face=1>非常に多くの、博学と言われる学者たちが狭量になってしまう理由、それは多くの歪んだ創世神話のうちの一つがこれを事実として述べていることが、理解を越えさせているのである。言えるのは反対の理論を支持できる多くの証明があるということだ。以下は、Lesser Daedraが特定のDaedraの王子たちを反映するものではなく、事実Et'Adaがちょうど各王子たちのように独立しているように、これら弱い力を持つLesser Daedraをめいめいの王子が保護し、かくして保護のために彼らに膝を折らせるという、根拠のある結論についての概要の一助となるものである。<br>
<br>
<font face=2>主張その１： <font face=1>暗示された証拠の考慮。今日までRedguardの手によって転写されている古代からのYokuda創世神話を論拠として：<br>
<div align="center"><font face=5>彼は他者のために空虚に星を置いて地図を示したが、非常に多くのサイクルを経た後は、助け出すための霊があまりにも多くなってしまった。（訳註２）<br>
<div align="left"><font face=1>これはpre-Mundane（天地開明以前の）Aurbisにおける莫大な人口を論じる多くの神話のうちのたった一つに過ぎない。Aedraがそこに一体どれほど存在していたのか正確に測る方法は存在しない。しかし、彼らの大多数がAnu側にいたであろうことは推測できる。Mundusの創造に関与した１００のAedraがいたとしても、その１００はAnu側のEt'Adaなのである。一握りのDaedraのEt'Ada（そして、PadomayのEt'Adaである）として信じられている存在は、１６柱のDaedraの王子たちから（後に生まれた存在である）Malacath、Sheogorath、Meridiaを差し引き、そして（Padomay側に属する）Lorkhanを足したものであるが、しかしそれではたった１４柱のPadomay的な存在しかpre-Mundane Aurbisにいないことになってしまう！ このような釣り合いの取れない数は正しいはずがなく、そして、Aurbisは密度の高い場所であったという事実を支持する助けとならないことは確定的である。つまり、より多くのPadomay的な霊がpre-Mundane Aurbisの頃に存在していたに違いないのだ。しかし、彼らがまだ存在し続けていないと言った者がいるだろうか？ 彼らが事実、Lesser Daedraとして今日知られる存在ではないと言った者がいるだろうか？<br>
<br>
<font face=2>主張その２： <font face=1> Lesser Daedraの僅かな会話録と、Daedraの次元内での観察は「切り離されたEt'Ada」理論を支持するものである。Battlespireの災いの後、いわゆる「Hero of Battlespire」が所持する何通かの文章が回収された。そのような文章とは、比較的温和で敵対的ではないDremora系のDaedraによって書かれたメッセージである。Dremoraの発言を論拠として：<br>
<div align="center"><font face=5>我等は選ばれて仕える。我等は強き者に仕える。そのため、その者たちの強さは我等を保護する可能性がある。一門はそれぞれ長期に及ぶ慣行で仕えているが、慣行は変わる場合があり得る。Dremoraは長くDagonに仕えれど、しかし必ずしもそうではないのだ。<br><div align="left"><font face=1>
これらの発言が何を語るかは明らかである。彼らの示唆は、この著者が述べているように、これらのDaedra（完全に自らの王子から分離している）が、強力な存在が与える保護のために自らの王子に仕えることを選んでいるに過ぎないのだ。更にもう一つ、Dagon軍のDark Seducerたちについて記録したという、Battlespire事件の監査報告がある。しかし、数十年後、定命の者がSheogorathの領域であるShivering Islesへの出入りを許されたとき、何とか発狂せずMundusに帰還することが出来た定命の者の多くが、Seducerたちは現在、Sheogorathに仕えていることを報告した。明らかに、これらSeducerたちは忠誠先を変えているのである。他に、Shivering IslesはHunger（あるいは、目撃者たちがそう主張していた）が生息しているところが目撃されている。Daedra学に習熟している者なら、HungerはDaedrothのBoethiahとしばしば関係していることを知っていよう。BoethiahとSheogorathは何らかの隠匿された同盟に加わっているか、あるいは、Hungerは自ら協定を結んでこの領域に入り込んでいるのである。そして勿論、「主のいないDaedra」と長い間考えられていたAtronachのことを忘れてはいけない。明らかに、これら全ての個別の例は、Lesser Daedraに意思があること、アイデンティティは彼らの主から独立していることを証明するものである。<br>
<br>
<font face=2>主張その３：<font face=1>Daedraの数ある惑星のの「軌道を回る」「月」を見よ。詳細なエルフと人間の惑星の天宮図の非常に多くが、小さな塊で囲まれるDaedraの惑星を書き記している。Mundusの二つの月とそれほと違わず、これらの小さな塊はDaedraの惑星領域の軌道を巡っているようである。全ての惑星が無限の宇宙にあり、大きさは力であることを言葉どおりに考えれば、これらの「月」は王子たちのような存在に見えるだろう。力が弱いだけで。これらの惑星の観察により、王子のLesser Daedraの軍勢となる種族と同等であると判明するかもしれない。事実、Battlespire事件以来捕らえられた幾らかのDremoraとのインタビューは、これを裏付ける。この存在の発言によれば、そのようなめいめいの塊の存在はLesser Daedraと彼らの主との間を強調するものであり、彼らが本当に独立した個体であることを証明している。<br>
<br>
<font face=2>結論：<font face=1>Lesser Daedraの起源の「側面」理論を支持するこれらの事例に反対意見を唱える者は、多くの存在によるという主張をするだろう。彼らは１６柱以上のDaedraの王子がかつて存在したと主張するかもしれないし、彼らは危険なDaedraが単に大昔に破られた王子たちの「砕けた破片」であると主張、更にはLesser Daedraの月の存在をこのように支持する主張をするかもしれない。しかしながら、この議論の両方ともが、この領域にとっての異物である存在の真の性質を理解できると主張しても、そうした異質の概念を完全に理解する方法は存在していない。Shivering Islesの二人の住人のインタビューから収録された以下の引用をよく考えたいひとがいるだろうし、彼ら自身が考えた彼ら自身の真実を、既知の情報から推測できるかもしれない。<br>
<div align="center"><font face=5>頭の堅い方ですね。あなた方定命の者は情報の小石を摘むのが好きで、それで全ての領域の構成概念を推測で考えるのですから。あなたがたが「Daedra」と一緒くたにする異種の存在についてのあなたの知識は、根拠が存在しないのに――裏切り者、謀反人、嘘の内容と不幸にも定命の者と関わるようになった弱き者に、嘘と半分の真実が織り交ぜられて語られています。あるいはMehrunes Dagonよってとか。二度と私の前で彼の名前を出さないように。The Master of Scum（屑の支配者）なんですから。それぞれの王子の真の力の駒、Nineteen Voidsのあらゆる陰謀家のカモめ。あなたはOblivionの政治、派閥、確執、復讐、戦争について何でも知っていると思っているのですか？ Oblivionとは、Mazkenのような大規模な集団の忠義の話が、短い作り話でまとめをつけられるようなわかりやすい場所だと思っているのですか？
<br><br>Mundusの住人の想像力の限界は非常に愉快なものですね。空の星と同じくらい多くの使用人の種類があるのです。Daedra、とあなたは言いますが、彼らは比較的良く出来た存在の一つに過ぎません。The Knight of Oederは、これは別です。私の主Jyggalagは、彼らの創造力と独立性のなさを好むのです。<br>
