Event Description:
“To all scholars of Tamriel and beyond,
The House of Orsinium Glories once again calls upon your aid. During our recent investigations into the marvels of the Tamrielic Fauna we’ve come to discover how little people know about the lesser daedra and more importantly how often these creatures are confused far more mundane animals or monsters. When consequently interviewed on their opinions on the lesser daedra most people would immediately curse the princes and point our heretic hearts to the nearest shrine to the divines (as expected the opposite happened in Orsimer and Dunmer territories).
Which brings us to the aim of this message. You may remember a similar missive making it to your favourite brew house this Rain’s Hand concerning the creatures of Tamriel. After delving into the depths of the Tamrielic Fauna we’ve decided it was time to expand the Mysterium Bestia with a second opus. The first work, which was published after receiving the research collected in Rain’s Hand describes the creatures of Tamriel itself and the second work, which we shall name the Bestia Infinium, will approach the subject of the lesser daedra and all other creatures dwelling on the other planes of existence.
To most conjurers a lot of the creatures from beyond the plane of Nirn are extremely familiar or at least one would hope so, and while we strive to publish a work that could teach even an expert on the Daedra, the main objective of this second work is to serve as a first step in cauterising the stigma created by the Oblivion Crisis when ignorance and fear drove men and mer to fear not just the daedra but those who were versed in the art of summoning them.
By furthering the understanding of the lesser daedra in the masses we, at the House of Orsinium Glories, hope to ease the tension that exists between summoners and the populace, not only by showing the people of Tamriel that the creatures of Oblivion can be just as beautiful and intriguing as those we find on our own plane but also by teaching conjurers more about the daedra they summon.
To achieve this goal it is paramount that all those engaging in scholarly pursuits and all those who hunt these creatures and summon these creatures send their knowledge and observations to Orsinium.
-Friendly regards,
Matthaeus Belladonc, Resident Biologist and Chief Scholar of the House of Orsinium Glories.”
