We've all heard of the well-known Daedric Princes in Elder Scrolls, but what about the ones that couldn't quite make it to Nirn? These lesser-known divines have found themselves relegated to the depths of Oblivion, forever pining after a coveted Nirn visa. Here are our top 10 picks for the most overlooked Daedric Princes in the game.
The God of Paperclips
This god's portfolio consists of, unsurprisingly, paperclips. He may not have the flashy powers of some of the other Daedric Princes, but he keeps things organized and in order. If you're looking for your missing paperclip, he's the one to pray to.
The Goddess of Puddles
This goddess is in charge of all puddles, big and small. Don't slip on one of her puddles or you'll feel her wrath. She may seem harmless, but who knows what other powers she possesses.
The God of Lost Keys
This god has a divine talent for locating lost keys. If you're at your wits' end trying to find your car keys, he's the one to call upon. Just don't expect him to open any doors for you.
The Goddess of Awkward Conversations
This goddess presides over all the cringe-worthy moments in our social lives. From uncomfortable first dates to excruciating job interviews, she's the one in charge of making us feel uncomfortable. If you're having a night of awkward conversations, blame her.
The God of Mosquitoes
This god may be small, but he's mighty. The next time you're getting eaten alive by mosquitoes, take consolation in the fact that they're under his control. Just be careful not to anger him, or he might send a whole swarm after you.
The God of Long Lines
This dreaded deity is the reason why we always seem to end up in the longest line at the grocery store. If you want to avoid long lines, you'll have to offer sacrifices to this god – and even then, you might not be granted swift passage.
The Goddess of Crusty Socks
This goddess is in charge of all things related to crusty socks, from the smell to the texture. If you come across a particularly foul pair, you might want to pray to her for a merciful end.
The God of Tangled Headphones
This god's portfolio consists solely of tangled headphones. If you're someone who has to spend ten minutes every morning untangling your earbuds, he's the one to blame.
The God of Traffic Lights
This god is in charge of all traffic lights and the infuriating stops and starts they force upon us. If you're late to your appointment because you hit every red light, you have him to thank.
The Goddess of Dial-up Internet
This goddess is responsible for all the pain and suffering that dial-up internet users go through. If you're still struggling with a slow connection, you might want to offer her sacrifices – but don't count on her being merciful.
So next time you're feeling frustrated with one of life's little inconveniences, remember: it could be worse. You could be stuck under the rule of one of these less-than-mighty Daedric Princes.
