Ok, one less insane and powerful, really.

Daedric Prince of sorrow.

Plane is a barren land with withering trees filled with dry and decaying fruit, overcast, gloomy weather permanently, colourless and withering flowers. Animals, all weak and sick till they are but skin and bones walk the land. Black spires made of pure Ebony dot the landscape and a huge volcano in the middle continuously spews ash everywhere (No, this is NOT morrowind). It is either raining ash, raining water or raining sleet permanently and people in the realm are always moaning and crying.

Daedra that randomly bind in nirn would be in two varieties (they exist in the plane as well):

The (common) male ones, which wear armor that is like a falmer heavy chestplate with daedric armor pauldrons, that have a bluish glow. They have no legs and are composed of pure ethereal blue energy, with swords that look like stalhrim swords, except with blades that are ethereal like ghostblade. They use powerful frost and lightning magic for ranged combat (like thunderbolt). The high ranking ones use scythe like battleaxes in addition to their normal equipment. They aren't too strong against any form of damage, but they aren't too weak either, with gradual health regeneration. They die in an explosion like the pacify effect, with no damage.

The (not so common) female ones, which are pure mages. Prettier versions of wispmothers with fancy hair and some armor plates. Again, they have no legs and are made of ethereal blue energy. They evade 35% of physical attacks. They utilize destruction (shock and frost), restoration (heal other, close wounds, grand healing, wards), conjuration (conjure frost atronach) and alteration (mage armor). They can summon copies of themselves. Also, the main point is that they are permanently crying and sobbing. They have extreme resistance to frost and shock damage (and evade many physical ones), but are exceedingly weak to fire damage. If they drop below half health, their conjuration and alteration are disabled, their copies all dispel and they lose their evasion, making them easy to defeat. They cannot regenerate health.

A suitable artifact is a stave that sends the target into despair, slowly damaging the targets stamina, magicka and health as they waste away. It is obtained by direct gift, not ritual, by the suicidal and depressed chosen one, so that they will spread the gloom.
