Oblivion:Dremora

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

For information about the Dremora class, see NPC Classes.

Dremora are an aggressive humanoid species of Daedra who serve the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon. They are commonly encountered throughout the planes of Oblivion. Physically, Dremora resemble large, dark skinned humanoids with a natural Resistance to Magic. The Dremora that appear in the game are almost invariably male. There is only one instance of a female Dremora to be found anywhere, at Markynaz rank. (Though she may spawn in several places, so you may see more than one.) They are intelligent, sentient beings and make capable warriors and mages. Dremora are treated as NPCs, and as such, their souls can only be trapped using Black Soul Gems.

All Dremora possess a leveled Resistance to Magic (between 25 and 50 points, depending on rank), two Destruction spells and a Mysticism spell. They are equipped with Dremora weapons and armor, the latter of which cannot be looted, though at the higher ranks, they are sometimes equipped with Daedric armors, which CAN be looted. Dremora mages will be equipped with a Staff and a set of Dremora Robes, as well as additional Alteration and Summon spells. Dremora may carry an enchanted weapon, and upon their death will drop a Daedra Heart as well as random potions, scrolls or gems. Dremora Valkynaz may also carry jewelry.

Dremora society is a class-based clan system that upholds values of oaths, pride, honor and loyalty, both to the clan and to Lord Dagon, whom they venerate as a God. Dremora culture appears to be male dominated, and focuses on training and preparing for battle and war. Dremora fall into one of seven different ranks, each more powerful and privileged than the rank below. These ranks are further distributed into melee, missile or mage classes. Dremora refer to their race as the 'Kyn' (the People) and to other Dremora as 'Kynaz' (of the Kyn). They consider themselves to be above other Daedra. More information can be found in the book Varieties of Daedra.

[edit] Notes

• It is possible to charm lower leveled Dremora to the point where they will not attack. They have very little dialogue, being limited to the greeting:

"Be quick about it, mortal."

• With high enough Fame and Illusion skill, even Valkynazi can be charmed so as not to attack the player. It is also possible to yield to charmed Dremora. If they accept, they will say:

" Go, and live."

• The female Markynaz displays the "I have no greeting" text if you charm her and attempt to speak to her.
• Interestingly enough, there is no 'Valkynaz' rank in the in-game Dremora faction; Dremora Valkynaz are actually assigned to the Markynaz rank. Most Dremora in the actual in-game faction are one rank lower than their name would indicate.
• The word "kyn" is actually Old English.
• Dremoras are the only NPCs the player cannot "assault". Striking any other NPC type, whether friend or foe, will increase the "assaults" counter. Picking the pocket of a Dremora, however, will increase the "Items Pickpocketed" count.
• Through the Oblivion Construction Set, it is possible to play as a Dremora by clicking the "Playable" box in the race menu. However, in the way of Roleplaying, it would not be very realistic to be a Dremora civilian in Cyrodiil, since they are seen only as denizens of Oblivion and as summoned servants by mages (as seen in the Thieves Guild quest Misdirection).
