(Left) Knight of Order, (Right) Priest of Order.

Each of the Daedra and Aedra have their own minions, their own creations to do their bidding or spread their influence.

Jyggalag has the Knights and Priests of Order. The Priests are citizens of the Shivering Isles that have refused Sheo's madness and taken up the cause of Order.

Priests are known for their destructive magic, using lightning and fire to bend to their will. They can also resurrect fallen comrades in battle.

The Knights are dremora that are summoned by use of Obelisks by the Priests in times of battle. Skilled knights wielding crystalline swords and adorning crystalline armor, they are forces to be reckoned with. They are skilled with swordsmanship, archery and magic, making them some of the most devastating dremora of the Daedric Princes.

Some tales claim that the Knights were once mortals who worshipped Jyggalag and turned their flesh hard and rough as crystal and turned themselves into mindless minions of the ruler of logic and order.

Both the Priests but furthermore the Knights are relentless fighters, making them difficult to overcome without taking a mean hit.

Nocturnal

Date: 2016-10-11 04:57 EST
Every Daedric Prince has a multitude of things they've created, and though they typically created the prototypes, not all of these creatures wholly belong to the Daedric Prince. Nocturnal, being the original Enigma, does not let on to the name-able creatures that she has created or the original prototypes that many work very closely to the Prince. Everything about her is held close, and not much information is given out. (More may be added as it goes on.)

Blurrs

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/6a/fc/31/6afc31194949bebf30aa51f159937f16.jpg
There isn't much lore on these creatures. They have enigmatic natures, sometimes able to be malevolent depending on the nature of the blurr. Vague, human like creatures they aren't dead like many would believe, they are not ghosts. However, due to the frequency of sound they emit that will influence one's perception, their appearance will often come off as blurry or hazy much like a mirage. Some lore suggests they are shapeshifts and that when you see them in that vague haze, you're seeing them in their true form.

Nocturnal has 2 name-able blurrs that work very closely to her.
One, a secretive man who's a nightingale.
Two, a sometimes malevolent trickster that doesn't like to keep her appearance the same from one day to the next.
OOC Note: Keep this information OOC. She's an engima, don't think just because you can read it here, it's viable reason to bring it in the play should you meet any of these characters and figure it out for yourself. Or suddenly your character has an epiphany of what they are. Respect that this information is being told at all, please.

Nagas/Naginis

Original credit can be found here.

Nocturnal created the original four Nagas; Heavenly, Divine, Earthly and Hidden. Each of their aspects are a reflection of the nagas themselves. It is said that they will eventually destroy the world with fire.
(They are Nocturnal's back up plan. Should the world need to be ended, she will call upon the four Nagas/Nagini to force the reset button. But only when she has no options left.)

Asrai

These creatures came from the Evergloam. They are a type of Aquatic fairy, deathly afraid of capture as they are supposedly so beautiful that if someone comes to them, they will want to capture it. Should they be captured or if a ray of sunlight falls upon an Asrai, they will turn into a pool of water and die.

Some lore claims them to feed off moonlight.

Some lore claims that a touch from one of these fairies may leave the skin that they touched forever cooled, never able to be warmed.

Half eagle and half dog/wolf, their other name is chamrosh. Though smaller than other griffons, perhaps even the smallest, they are exceptionally strong and can often out lift griffins.

Said to be a gift to dragon slayers because of their ability to heal quickly and track anything. Their jaws are strong enough to crush through almost anything. Exceptionally intelligent, they are quick and terribly ferocious. They may also be able to communicate with humans via telepathy.

Though excellent at adapting to any environment, they prefer high mountains so they can see predators. They may also help those stranded but remain just out of reach.



Qitou

A chinese tomb guardian and protector of the dead. The earth spirit has an ogre-like face, large elephant ears, wings, and a lion's body with a plume cresting it's spine.



Furies/Erinyes

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/564x/ca/bb/6d/cabb6daa588552f15ee957fbbc9a25ab.jpg

Three goddesses of vengeance and retribution that punish mortals against natural order. Their main focuses were with homicide, unfilial conduct, offenses against the gods, and perjury.

A victim seeking justice could call down the curse of the Erinys against the criminal.

The three to be named are: Tisiphone, Alecto, and Megaera.

Though appearing as any "normal" human, when the wrath of the furies are bestowed on a criminal, their true forms may appear as haggish women with wings and grotesque appearances.
