You can note that the Solstheim masks are Lovecraft-like in design, alluding to Hermaeus Mora. Someone suggested, some time ago, that the priests there encountered, with the exception of Vahlok, were also followers of the Daedric Prince, alongside Miraak. The difference is that they didn't make their worship public, therefore preserving their status. Something that also reinforces this theory is the fact that Zahkriisos and Dukaan can summon seekers, and the fact that Zahkriisos guards the way to a Black Book. Therefore, their masks adopted the tentacle design of all things related to Hermaeus Mra.
