'''As for the "Destroy their realm" theory, how the hell do you destroy a realm of Oblivion? Is that even possible as a mortal? Perhaps a stronger Prince could do it, but I doubt a mortal could.''' It's not really a theory. The Daedric Princes decided to build realms out of themselves, which made them retain most of their powers (instead of sacrificing part of their power to create something like Nirn). So, if you kill the specific Daedric Prince in his own realm, the realm dies as well because the realm is part of the Daedric Prince.
