5'''Note:''' ''Elder Scrolls'' lore is [[ContinuitySnarl generally not clear-cut]]. Reasons for this range from [[UnreliableNarrator biased]] in-universe sources intentionally only giving you only one side of a story, to sources lacking critical information or working from [[BlatantLies false information]], to the implication that AllMythsAreTrue, despite the contradictions, or that at least all myths are MetaphoricallyTrue. [[WordOfGod Out-of-game developer supplemental texts]] (frequently referred to as "Obscure Texts" by the lore community) are more trustworthy, but are frequently left [[LooseCanon unofficial]] and sometimes later contradicted. Because of this, it is entirely possible for two contradictory statements in the below examples to ''both'' be true. (And due to frequent events in-universe that [[TimeCrash alter the timeline]], both may ''literally'' be true in-universe.)

8The Daedra are the "original spirit" divine beings that did not take part in the creation of the world. Unlike the Aedra, they did not sacrifice any of their power during creation and remain truly immortal. Most tend to be seen as evil, often drawing comparisons to demons, though this varies between cultures. The name Daedra comes from Aldmeri, meaning "not our ancestors", and opposes the Aedra, meaning "our ancestors".
