Why the origin change? The used to have the same as the Aedra: deities that left Aetherius to create Mundus and Nirn, but unlike the Aedra they realized they would die if they finished the work and fled. They were greatly weakened, but are still alive. The Aedra became mortal and had children, resulting in the mortal races of Nirn, but still dreamed that they were alive afterwards. Aedra means "Our Ancestors" while Daedra means "Not Our Ancestors". Now there's this thing about Anu and Padomay, and apparently the Aedra were born from both, and the Daedra only from Padomy. What gives? That's a pretty major lore change.
