I just finished reading Trial at Hogithum Hall (the full one) and while most of my questions were answered by numerous people on other sites (turns out many people didn't get the ending) there is one that wasn't and just keeps eating at my mind: it's the banishment. What did Vivec's banishment of her really DO? I know lords can't be killed but only eventually banished, but what difference does it really make when they are banished? Do they lose some of their power? Or the ability to interfere in Mundus through anything other than just talking to their worshippers? How did it actually affect Azura and is she STILL affected by it? Just to clarify, by now I mean the time of the latest TES game at the writing of this question (Skyrim). Is that why she can't seemingly do anything to that mage that's trying to corrupt her star herself, so she sends you to deal with it as her champion? I mean it seems a little odd that the same Prince who changed an entire race with a fingersnap (chimer to dunmer) couldn't just clap her hands and have Nelacar die, or something, isn't it? I mean, if banishing a daedric lord works the same as banishing say, a dremora, then sending them back to oblivon where they normally reside anyway, and which they rarely choose to leave, where they also have all the power that they had prior to the banishment, I think it's a bit redundant... Kind of like wanting to get rid of someone, not see them ever again, and dropping them off at their house without doing anything else and expecting the problem solved itself and you're never gonna have anything to do with them ever again. Any ideas are appreciated!
