The Daedra are Padomaic, of chaos and change. The Aedra are Anuic, of order and stasis. This has to do with how they were created.

- WorshipsMeridia Aedra, Daedra and Magna Ge are all classified as "Et'Ada". They're basicly the same, but their behaviour differs. While Et'Ada such as Lorkhan, Molag Bal, etc have an obviously Padomaic behaviour, other Et'Ada such as Jyggalag, Auriel, etc have an obviously Anuic behaviour.

Also, as Ikabite said, Meridia was once a Magna Ge which became a Daedra. She was always Anuic, and still is even though she's a Daedra.

Aedra are the Et'Ada who helped Lorkhan create Nirn and Mundus, while the Daedra are the ones which did not and the Magna Ge are the ones who fled with Magnus before Nirn was fully created.
