A Demigod is a divine being of unclear specifications. It is possible they are the Aedric counterpart to the Daedric Demiprinces,[1] making them the offspring of any divine being of non-Daedric origins and a lesser being. In some cases, the term might simply refer to a very powerful spirit.

Known Demigods[edit]
- Morihaus is the most well-known example of a demigod,[1] being called the son of Kyne[2] and blessed by her with the Lord's Mail.
- Pelinal Whitestrake is said to be a demigod in some sources.[3]
- The Green Lady of the Bosmer has been said to possess the qualities of a demigod.[4]
- The Mad Architect has been referred to as a demigod.[5]
- The three living gods of the Tribunal are occasionally referred to as demigods.[6][7]
- Auriel has been proclaimed a demigod by some sources,[8] despite generally being considered to be one of the original spirits.[9][10]
- Khunzar-ri was a mythic Khajiit hero and warrior who is sometimes elevated to the status of a god,[11] or him being created by one with conflicting accounts. Some say Jone and Jode created him from moonlight, another origin states he was created from Khenarthi's breath, and a third from the tears of joy from Alkosh after Sheggorath made him laugh at Hircine's expense.[12]
Notes[edit]
- Umaril the Unfeathered was supposedly the son of an Ayleid and a god of the previous kalpa,[2] possibly making him a demigod.
- Dearola, the Daughter of Hircine, is termed a demigoddess,[13] but would be more accurately described as a demiprince.
- A Bosmer named Thurindil claimed to be the son of Julianos and Mohi-Titona, Queen of Akavir. If true, this would make him a demigod, however it is much more probable these are the ramblings of a madman.[14]
- Baan Dar's daughter was known to manifest as a female elf named Aniel.[15]
