Lore talk:Meridia

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

It said on the Daedra page in the lore section, that Meridia was once not a Daedric Prince. Can anyone elaborate please? --65.87.242.28 22:17, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Meridia’s holdings in Oblivion are collectively known as “The Colored Rooms”. Another Prince whose origins may not entirely be outside of the aetherial, Meridia has at several times been linked to Magnus the Sun. The most famous account of this association is the Tract of Merid-nunda, which overtly casts Meridia in the role of a wayward solar daughter, cast from the heavens for consorting with illicit spectra.

For anyone wondering why the article currently contains information taken from an obscure text.... The information was added to UESP as part of this edit, made by Aristeo on behalf of "Shardie" on July 13, 2006. When I created this page, I simply combined the pre-existing entries from Lore:Gods M and Lore:Daedric Princes (because once upon a time, long ago in the ancient history of the site, we had multiple redundant entries describing Meridia, instead of a single article that was transcluded). I don't know anything more about the original edit other than what's in the edit summary. --Nephele^Talk 22:53, 8 September 2008 (EDT)

Yeah, there are a few pages that always had what turned out to be out-of-game material. Eventually, if I'd had the time (and hell had frozen over) I was going to go through to add cites for as many Lore pages as needed them - a process that would have probably caused this information to be removed. Right now I think adding the external source is the best solution until the debate is finished. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 13:16, 11 September 2008 (EDT)

[edit] "Colored Rooms"

Did anybody here think of the Black Lodge and its multiple red rooms from the series Twin Peaks? It could very well be a plane of Oblivion. Besides, we already know that Bethesda have taken "inspiration" from several sources when making Oblivion, maybe the red rooms were one?

Certainly seems likely. Not gonna add it myself, but I'm gonna draw some attention to this section.

I regret to inform you that planes of oblivion are only found in the Elder Scrolls series, and The Coloured Rooms isn't a particularly strange name... So it seems unlikely that it was borrowed from Twin Peaks.

[edit] Ring of Khajiit

This ring is also in morrowind, found in marag tong 69.134.228.203 04:16, 15 June 2009 (EDT)Konstantin

But in Morrowind the ring is a reward from Mephala. There it has nothing to do with Meridia. --Timenn < talk > 08:04, 15 June 2009 (EDT)

[edit] Meridia's origin.

If Meridia is an Aedra that means she contributed to the creation of Mundus in a way, anyone could imagine how? Also, anyone has any idea what "illicit Spectra" did she consort?
