Daedra are simply those without Anu's blood in them who did not wish to invest anything at all into Lorkhan's anti-apotheosis trap. It happens to be that the ones perceived as 'evil' tend to like interacting far more, but even the 'good' ones like Azura tend to cause massive and drastic changes.

From a non-human point of view, the daedra are representatives of CONCEPTS. Their morality is not black and white, it is as blue and orange as the difference between Mania and Dementia in the shivering isles, and that was a metaphorical comparison. Their 'good' is not at all like ours, and their 'evil' is not at all like what we think. And that's in general, let alone what individual moral perceptions are.

It is utterly incomprehensible and not something to compare and get answers out of. They don't think in human/mer terms and reasoning with them on those is likely to get you killed or worse in-universe and likely to get no answers on the other side of the fourth wall.

And yes, I cannot help thinking Sheogorath would throw cheese at his computer upon seeing these questions.

On the actual topic, they cannot really deserve anything, as they are the embodiments of those concepts and may have been written to serve as the personalities those concepts would actually have from a point of view.

So really, you're asking if the personality the concept takes is something that deserving can be applied to, and then from there, do they?

In fact, the very fundamental laws of physics of Nirn have differences that imply that conventional morality can't apply to the sentiences embodying concepts, because they simply are entities whose form extends to cover concepts.

Ow, that came out weird.
