Lore:Vaermina

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Vaermina (also spelled Vaernima) is a Daedric Prince whose sphere is the realm of dreams and nightmares, and from whose realm issues forth evil omens. Some have also claimed her sphere ties somehow to torture. Statuary of Vaermina depicts her as female.

Vaermina's plane of Oblivion is Quagmire. It is described in The Doors of Oblivion as a nightmare realm, where every few minutes reality shifts and becomes ever more horrifying: "a dark castle one moment, a den of ravening beasts the next, a moonlit swamp, a coffin where he was buried alive."

The Hero of Daggerfall received The Skull of Corruption from Vaernima. She is an enemy of Ebonarm, Boethiah, Peryite, and Hermaeus Mora, but is allied with Sanguine. Her summoning day is the 10^th of Sun's Height.

In Oblivion, the player could receive the Skull of Corruption from Vaermina by venturing into the tower that manifests that nightmares experienced by a man who stole Vaermina's orb.
