InThe Elder Scrolls Online, you’ll face numerous Daedra and Daedric Princes in your quest to keep Tamriel safe, however, there are secrets even you have yet to uncover. Around every corner is a new threat, another villain, and an impossible task. It’s up to you to take on the challenge, but what exactly are you up against?
Daedric Princes are often dangerous, if not fatal, to deal with. With the reveal of Gold Road, a new Daedric Prince takes the spotlight. Who are they, and what are they after? Here’s everything you need to know about The Forgotten Prince, Ithelia.
Who Is The Forgotten Prince?
The Forgotten Prince, known as Ithelia, is the Daedric Prince of Paths. She is also known as The Mistress of the Untraveled Road, The Unseen, and the Fate-Changer. Not much is known about her, but she has the ability to alter the strands of fate and destiny around her on a whim.
She was all but forgotten by the world, leaving only a single servant behind as a contingency plan for her return. He was the only one left with vague memories of her that manifested in dreams–which were almost unheard of for Dremora.
During the Planemeld, the Vestige learns about her existence and what was taken from her–her freedom. Though she is a Daedric Prince, her goals and personality are unknown.
What Happened To Ithelia?
Revealed originally inthe Necrom expansion, Ithelia is a Daedric Prince that has been erased from memory by Hermaeus Mora to preserve reality. He feared her abilities were too powerful and dangerous to be allowed in reality, so he convinced other Daedric Princes to help him deal with her.
Vaermina and Peryite refused to take part.
While able to remove memories of Ithelia from those around him, Mora could not remove his own memories. Instead, he sealed away his memories of Ithelia and what he’d done into three primordial glyphics.
Torvesard joined forces with Vaermina and Peryite, who remembered an inkling of what the Dremora spoke of, and was able to recover two of the three glyphics during the attack on Apocrypha. With this, Torvesard regained most of his memories of his mistress and fled.
With the reveal of Gold Road, Ithelia can be seen returning to Tamriel. While her plans are not yet known, it’s clear that she won’t simply enjoy her freedom without seeking out revenge for her erasure. With her abilities, everyone in Nirn is at the mercy of her whims, as well as all of reality.
