Why Azura Matters?

In this video, we’ll dive into Azura, one of the most fascinating Daedric Princes in the vast Elder Scrolls pantheon, and take a look at the paradoxes she creates. I chose Azura because she’s such a grey character! Being a Daedra, you might easily fall into the mistake of thinking she’s just evil—but once you learn her story, that idea might change. Sometimes she’s a compassionate guide, but other times she’s a divine being responsible for immense suffering. And it’s exactly this duality at the heart of her nature that makes her such an interesting subject—for this video, and for me personally. The Prince of Dawn and Dusk, Azura embodies both the beautiful and the dangerous sides of life within her very being. Her obsession with love is so dangerous that after the death of her beloved champion Indoril Nerevar, Azura’s grief and anger led her to curse an entire race. That’s one of the most powerful examples of just how extreme her relationship with love and being loved can get.
