Wouldn’t the Aedra be more akin to a fallen angel? After all they left Heaven (Aetherius) to fall into a lesser world (Mundus/Nirn). Similar to the Bad Watchers or Bad Grigori which fell to the Earth rather than Hell.

I mean sure Molag Bal, Mehrunes Dagon, Namira, and several others have an overall demonic aesthetic to them. But look at Azura she doesn’t, Meridia while original a Magna-Ge did become one after consorting with them and her statue in Skyrim has angelic wings and she is associated with life and light.

Even the Aedra formed formed the blood from Padomay and Anu during their creation. Only the Magna-Ge minus Meridia are only of Anu’s blood. And we don’t see Padomay as a demon, but a force of change and loosely darkness.

The Dedra didn’t want to be like the Aedra. As most Dedra embody a type of change not stasis which is the foundation of Anu. The Aedra embody both being made of both. However the Dedra can’t stand to be bound even to themselves. It’s why instead of helping create Mundus. They created worlds within themselves, to embody all change within their sphere of influence.
