Daedric Quests (Skyrim)

Quests
There are Shrine quests. Some Daedric Princes, however, will not give you their quests via their shrines. These quests can, instead, be found at specific places. These Princes are Hircine, Malacath, Mephala, Molag Bal, Namira, Sanguine, Sheogorath, Vaermina, and Mehrunes Dagon. Nocturnal does not give any quest, but, rather, she appears in the Thieves Guild questline. The only Daedric Prince that does not give any quest is Jyggalag.

Azura: The Black Star
The quest at Azura's shrine asks the player to retrieve the defiled "Azura's Star", the infinite soul gem that has appeared in other games. The player must recover Azura's Star and, upon success, will have two options: a) bring it back to Azura's shrine or b) bring it to the Necromancer that helped earlier in the quest. Either choice will require the player to enter the Star and defeat the soul that is defiling Azura's Star. If the player brings Azura's Star to Azura, they will be rewarded with the Purified Star, which can only absorb the souls of creatures. Bring the Star to the Necromancer, and the player will be rewarded with the Black Star, which can only absorb the souls of the playable races (these souls count as Grand-level souls).
