Chaotic Creatia is a substance native to the Planes of Oblivion, responsible for creating and recreating Daedra physical bodies after their banishment back to their native realm in Oblivion.[1][2]

Background[]

Daedra, who lack the Anuic animus known as the "soul," are not killed when their body is destroyed. A Daedra slain upon Mundus is merely "banished" back to its plane of origin, where its morphotype, or "vestige," gradually forms a new body, so that eventually the Daedra lives again (this happens as well when a Daedra is slain in its native plane of Oblivion). Daedra are formed from the very stuff of chaos, the "creatia" of Oblivion, a shapeless but energetic material that accretes around a vestige (formation of the body around the essence) until it conforms to the morphotype's inherent pattern. Chaotic creatia takes a different but planar-appropriate form in every realm of Oblivion.[1] For example, Dremora of the Deadlands have black, red or reddish black skin color, while the same species in Coldharbour have cyan skin color, matching the environment of the realm.

Forms[]

It is assumed that every plane of Oblivion has its own form of chaotic creatia. The following are the currently known:

Realm Chaotic Creatia
Coldharbour Azure Plasm[1]
Deadlands Lava[3]
Shivering Isles Wellsprings' liquids[2][4][5]

In Coldharbour, it is represented by blue icy water, named Azure Plasm[1], and in the Shivering Isles the Golden Saints and Dark Seducers bases, Brellach and Pinnacle Rock respectively, contain Fonts of Rebirth.[6]

Some scholars believe that Hist sap, also called Amber Plasm, is a form of chaotic creatia.[7]
