    Meridia is a different kind of paladin-esque deity. She's not like "If you do good for the world, you'll be well-rewarded." She's more like "You're gonna do good in the world, or I'm gonna sock you in your damn face. Deal with it."

    Meridia - Reasons 1-2099, why Harkon was predestined to fail at his little pervert a holy artifact and blot out the sun, scheme. I am pretty sure the Statue of Meridia a few miles south of his castle would come to life, grown 10x bigger, torn the roof off his castle, and start eating Vokihar clan members.

    Though the Ring of Khajiti always felt... really random to me in Oblivion.
    Like this is a Daedra who's ID'd in the game with both Umaril and his Slave Masters... and with boldly walking up to slaughter any undead/necromancers.
    So why a ring that gives you stealth bonuses attached to a legend of thievery?
    Feels more like it should be a Nocturnal thing.

    • @CL-lx2pm
      @CL-lx2pm 3 місяці тому +2

      This is entirely just my perception of the character, but I feel like a lot of Meridia's persona is around hypocrisy and duality. She must have undead purged, but she keeps Umaril suspended in undeath so he can conquer Cyrodiil again. She is bold in her orders but never takes action herself, even in ESO she has you do all the work during the multiple attacks on herself and her realm then calls manipulating you into protecting her "her work." Even when she was an Aedra she saw a better deal with the Daedra and jumped ship, but she still wants to be "the nice one."
      That or it could just be trying to make the daedric artefacts balanced and useful in game and just rolling with whatever sounds good during the great Bethesda Crunch. Who knows lol.
