The heart you took was probably just a Daedra's heart - an item used on potions.
How was the "cool looking" armour, though?
Also i heard that there's 2 daedra, the good, and the bad? what that supposed to mean and who are they? sorry i'm asking a lot of questions
As for the whole "Good Daedra, Bad Daedra" thing, that's something different. At the top of the daedric power hierarchy are the Daedric Princes, who are so powerful that they're another kind of deity. The local faith, the Tribunal, says that the three gods of the Tribunal are served by three Daedric Princes. The reason these three Daedric Princes (Mephala, Boethiah, and Azura) are regarded as good is that supposedly, they recognized the Tribunal's divinity and pleged themselves to service. The Four Bad Daedra (Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Malacath, and Sheogorath) are four Daedric Princes who defied the Tribunal and make life difficult for the Dunmer.
Good Daedra and bad Daedra, to sum it up: Those who helped, somehow, with the creation of Mundus i.e. the "Earth" and those who did not.
Some good ones: Meridia and Azura.
Some bad ones: Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon and Boethiah.
The "Lesser Daedra" i.e. Daedroths, Atronachs, Clannfears, Seducers, etc are their servants.
None can really die. They just get banished to another realm.
The "good daedra" like meridia and azura didn't help with creation. They're just considered good daedra because their spheres are less evil than others or they cooperated with the tribunal.
The "daedra" who helped with creation of mundus are now the nine divines. Basically the divines were daedra Lords as well, but they sacrificed their lives as daedra and became attached to mundus. As a result, they can manifest real powers in mundus (nirn) using the power of belief to give them their powers (enough worshippers believing in them is what gives them powers, because all of existence is actually a dream and essentially each mortals belief is one tiny bit of Chim power to fuel that god). That's why the elves outlaw Talos worship to cause him to lose his powers.
The daedra who didn't help in creation are not bound to nirn or mundus, nor can they directly affect mundus with their powers, the best they can do is influence people on nirn to spread their spheres of influence through artifacts and daedra shrines.
Mehrunes Dagon attacked pretty much everything DIRECTLY in Oblivion, though. So they can, indeed, affect Mundus with their powers.
there is a part in this article that talks about it.
"The Aedra are original beings that arose from the interplay of Anu and Padomay.[1] They are regarded as the counterparts and opposites of the Daedra, but the distinction originated after their birth, during the creation of the Mundus. The Aedric beings played a leading role in the creation of Mundus (and became bound to the Earth Bones) causing them to commonly be considered the creators of the mortal world.
It's not a theory, it's literally the widely accepted doctrine of every religion in elder scrolls.
And yes mehrunes dagon attacking was from him directly entering nirn, which is normally not possible for daedra lords and was the entire reason the emperor was assassinated and why Martin sacrifices himself at the end to stop it. That was the whole point of the game oblivion, and the fact that it's not supposed to be possible with daedra was the main goal of the villains (mythic dawn) to make it possible.
Daedra Lords can't normally enter nirn with malicious intent, only through use of aspects of themselves that are severely underpowered and can be killed easily and sent back to their realm (like sanguine in Skyrim). They can't affect the overworld either like the aedra (daedra who sacrificed themselves and are now considered divines) can, but they cannot be killed unlike the aedra, as when a daedra is killed they are simply sent back to their realm - the aedra have no realm anymore.
The ending of oblivion establishes that the daedra lords are restricted from entering nirn forever - before that they were held at bay through the lighting of the dragonfires.
Yes, because aedra and daedra were terms that had no reason to exist until after mundus creation. There was no distinction between them before creation, they were the same types of entities with the same levels of power. So to simplify it is to say they were all daedra before, but yes, they were actually e'tada, but the distinction before creation is meaningless, they were exactly the same as the daedra are now.
The daedra as we know it now were simply et'ada that didn't partake in creation of mundus. The aedra as we know it were et'ada who sacrificed their lives as et'ada and became the divines or aedra.
The daedra didn't change at all, the term daedra just became a new label for them. Thus the aedra were the same type of et'ada. Splitting hairs that they weren't technically daedra doesn't change anything - it's just a change of language and my point still stands.
ok good that is more like it
