Boethiah

Boethiah (sometimes spelled Boethia or Boet-hi-Ah), known as the Prince of Plots, the Daedra Prince of Cruelty and Torture, the Dark Warrior, Deceiver of Nations, Queen of Shadows, Goddess of Destruction, Hunger, Fount of Inspiration, He-Who-Destroys and She-Who-Erases, Boethiah the Schemer, The Dark Mistress, and called Boethra by the Khajiit, is a Daedric Prince who rules over deceit, conspiracy, secret plots of murder, assassination, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority. The Dark Warrior has been described as "cold" and "impersonal", "cruel", and one of the more "demonic" of the Daedra lords. Worshipers are known to hold bloody competitions in Boethiah's honor, battling—even killing—each other, for Boethiah is said to care only for their blood.

 

Known as the God-King of the Chimer, Boethiah was championed by the Prophet Veloth, and is considered by the Dark Elves to be their original god-ancestor. It was Boethiah (along with Mephala) who told them the truth of Lorkhan's test, and who defeated Auri-El's champion, Trinimac. These and other "illuminations" convinced the eventual Chimer, or Changed Folk, to renounce their ties to the Aldmer and found the nation of Resdayn based on Daedric principles.
