Boethiah

“	Look upon the face of Boethiah and wonder. Raise your arms that Boethiah may look on them and bestow a blessing. Know that battle is a blessing. Know that death is an eventuality. Know that you are dust in the eyes of Boethiah. Long is the arm of Boethiah, and swift is the blade. Deep is the cut, and subtle is the poison. Worship, o faithful. Pray your death is short. Worship, o faithful. Pray your death is quiet. Worship, o faithful. Worship the glory that is Boethiah. Into battle strides the Daedra Prince, blade at the ready to cleave the unworthy.	„
	~ Boethiah's Glory

Summary

Boethiah is the Daedric Prince of Deceit and Conspiracy, whose sphere encompasses the secret plots of murder, assassination, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority. Appropriately refereed to as 'The Prince of Plots', Boethiah is among the most overtly active Lords of Oblivion, and is known to directly interact with their mortal followers, appearing in both male and female guises. They are cruel, sadistic, and inherently destructive, yet nevertheless worshiped by numerous cults throughout Tamriel.

However, as a being who values the strength of individual will above all else, Boethiah is displeased and disgusted with their followers, seeing their devotion and submission as weaknesses. As such, Boethiah's true faithful worship the Daedric Prince not through the piety of their words, but by the blood on their swords. Boethiah rules over the Oblivion Plane of Attribution's Share, a realm of labyrinthine policy and betrayals, filled of stormy skies, volcanic islands, twisted towers and seas of lavas, bloody tournaments and death-matches are endlessly held for the Prince's amusement.

As a result of their violent and bloodthirsty nature, Boethiah is seen by the cultures of Tamriel almost unanimously as a malevolent force, with the sole exception being the Dark Elves of Morrowind, who attribute great cultural and historical importance to the Prince of Plots. With the Prophet Veloth as their herald, Boethiah is seen as the original god-ancestor of the Dunmer, who in the Merethic Era brought them enlightenment with the truth of Lorkhan's sacrifice, defeating the false Aldmeri Champion Trinimac and teaching them the ways of the Psijic Endeavor, and as such established the fundamental beginnings of Dunmeri culture.

Classification: Daedric Prince of Conspiracy & Deceit, God, Former Et'Ada

Powers and Abilities: Abstract Existence (Type 1. Gods are described as "manifest metaphors" and their actions as "ideologies given skin," existing as aspects of the Aurbis that each personify a specific concept, existing not as mere beings, but as the ideas themselves), Acausality (Type 5. Gods from outside of the mortal plane are completely beyond linear time and reside in a state where all events are always happening simultaneously, being as such unbound by cause, duration, consequence and eventuality, with their lives being described as unable to support most of the qualities of a narrative.), Causality Manipulation (Similar in nature and power to other greater Ada such as the Eight Divines, who are stated to be capable of modifying both the past and the future at their leisure), Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3 and 5. Gods are unbound by the concepts of Life and Death, which only came to be during the creation of the Mundus, and even incomplete deities such as Vivec can resurrect themselves at will from the timeless world of the gods), Resurrection, Higher-Dimensional Existence, Time Manipulation (The nature of time in the planes of oblivion is completely subjective and determined exclusively by the will of the governing Prince, with the inhabitants of such planes being stated to not be subjected to time itself, but to their masters alone.), Martial Arts and Weapon Mastery, Spatial Manipulation and Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Being simply extensions of their being, a Daedric Prince's personal realms are under their full control both in form and structure, with the more charitable ones being able to freely alter their number of dimensions as to create vistas comprehensible to the minds of mortals on a whim, as well as adopt the trappings of linear time to better suit interaction with them), Large Size (Type 10), BFR, Teleportation, Telekinesis, Social Influencing, Weather Manipulation, Incorporeality, Telepathy, Portal Creation, Soul Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Magic, Chaos Manipulation and Probability Manipulation (Daedric Spirits come to power by harnessing the chaos of possibilities that is the void of Oblivion, being unable to truly create, and instead only rearranging formless potential into something concrete), Reality Warping, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1. Immensely above minor gods such as the Ideal Masters, who are stated to live in a platonic ideal of their own making beyond the Mundus.), Energy Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Physics Manipulation, Transmutation, Mind Manipulation Sound Manipulation and Information Manipulation (The entirety of the Aurbis is, in fact, a song, and entities with divine power are capable of manipulating the underlying tones of existence by acknowledging that principle, shaping reality through the manipulation of stories and archetypes, making myth and metaphor manifest)

Attack Potency: High Hyperverse level (As a Daedric Prince, Boethiah is one of the primary Ada that fundamentally maintain and comprise the infinitely-dimensioned Void of Oblivion, holding absolute domain over and personifying one of the sixteen partitions that make up the entirety of the realm and represent the empty spaces behind the spokes of the Wheel of the Mundus)

Speed: Immeasurable. Omnipresent within Attribution's Share

Lifting Strength: Immeasurable

Stamina: Infinite

Range: High Hyperversal (Can freely traverse through Oblivion, an infinite-dimensional void which encompasses all possibility and contains an endless number of individual daedric realms)

By virtue of their status as a Daedric Prince, Boethiah, in both power and awareness, ranks highest among all Daedra, of which even the lowliest are said to have witnessed all of mortal existence, and to have a far more attuned sense of the Aurbis' scale and nature than even the most erudite of mortal scholars, boasting of a much broader ontological framework fit to dealing with the paradoxical nature of the higher realms.

Weaknesses: None Notable.
