Overview
Meridia’s true sphere is difficult for mortals to fully understand, but she is most often connected to radiant power, purity, and the force of life itself.
Her symbol is the sunburst, and her presence is often imagined as brilliant, overwhelming light cutting through darkness.
Hatred of the Undead
Meridia is best known for her hatred of the undead. She despises Necromancy and all forms of false life, viewing them as corruptions that must be burned away.
Those who destroy undead in her name may earn her favor, and she is known to reward mortals who help cleanse the world of such abominations.
Because of this, Meridia is sometimes viewed more favorably than many other Daedric Princes. To some, she appears almost benevolent: a divine force of cleansing light, opposed to decay, corruption, and undeath.
Her purpose is not merely destruction, but purification — the revelation of order and radiance within chaos.
The Darker Side of Meridia
Meridia’s light is not gentle.
Those who fear or oppose her know her by darker names, such as the Glister Witch or the Lady of Greed. Her enemies describe her as obsessive, self-righteous, and violently intolerant of anything she considers impure.
She is not fond of mortal defiance and has little patience for free will when it stands against what she believes to be destiny.
To Meridia, purity is not a suggestion. It is a command. She believes that mortal will should bend before higher purpose, and that those chosen as vessels of her light should surrender themselves to the role she has ordained for them.
Summoning Day
Meridia’s day of summoning is the 13th of Morningstar.
