Ithelia (in Daedric script: Daedric IDaedric TDaedric HDaedric EDaedric LDaedric IDaedric A), known as the Mistress of the Untraveled Road, the Forgotten Prince,[3] the Unseen, and Fate-Changer, is the Daedric Prince of Paths whose existence was erased from the memory of all beings, including the other Daedric Princes, by Hermaeus Mora. According to Mora, she had the ability to alter fate and shape destiny to her liking. Her existence was rediscovered by the Vestige among others during the events following the Planemeld.[4]

Background[]

"The memories released from the two glyphics are accurate and true. Ithelia. The Prince of Paths, the Mistress of the Untraveled Road, the Unseen. Her ability to alter fate, to shape destiny to her liking was a threat to all reality. It still is."
Hermaeus Mora[src]
Glyphic Memory

Hermaeus Mora argues with Vaermina and Peryite before erasing all knowledge of Ithelia.

During the Merethic Era, Ithelia ruled over the realm of Mirrormoor with the power to unmake and remake reality,[4] and was worshipped by the Ayleids of Essondul,[1] Elenglynn,[5] and Miscarcand[6] in Cyrodiil. Sometime before 2E 582, Hermaeus Mora became convinced that Ithelia's power was far too dangerous for all reality. He was able to convince most of the other princes to aid him, although others, including Vaermina and Peryite, refused. Despite opposition, Mora succeeded in erasing the memory of Ithelia from the minds of all others, but was unable to remove his own memories. To safeguard them, Mora contained his memories of Ithelia and her erasure inside three primordial glyphics.[4] The erasure of all memories of Ithelia resulted in her being trapped in Apocrypha.[7]

Sometime following Ithelia's imprisonment, the Dremora Torvesard began experiencing dreams, an unheard-of phenomenon for a Dremora. In 2E 582, he formed an alliance with the princes Vaermina and Peryite who also had a faint recollection of the events in Torvesard's dream. The three Daedra worked together against Hermaeus Mora to restore the memories they believed had been stolen from them[8] and, during an attack against Mora's realm of Apocrypha, Torvesard was able to access two of the three glyphics, restoring many of his memories of Ithelia.[9][10] Mora describes Torvesard as Ithelia's "contingency plan" and "her revenge."[4] It was revealed that Torvesard was a member of the Unseen, the agents of Ithelia who had evaded Mora for centuries. Torvesard began working to free his Prince from captivity.[11]

Upon regaining her own memories, Ithelia arrived in Fargrave, what used to be her realm of Mirrormoor, and sought to use the Loom of the Untraveled Road to restore her realm to its original glory. But when she realized that it was not possible and after the Vestige destroyed the loom, she unknowingly let her powers take over her mind and she vowed to rebuild Mirrormoor over the ruins of Apocrypha.[12][13] She attacked her rival Hermaeus Mora and drained some of his power in an attempt to destroy him.[14] However, the Vestige utilized a Daedric artefact to show Ithelia what she had become. Realising what she was doing, Ithelia renounced her power and position as a Daedric Prince and restored Mora's stolen power. Due to the fact that her powers would return regardless if she renounced them or not, she collaborated with Hermaeus Mora to open a pathway to a reality where magic did not exist, ensuring that she could never use her powers again. The Vestige used Abolisher, a Daedric artifact of Boethia to sever said reality from all others, preventing her escape. In order to prevent anymore destruction, Hermaeus Mora once again erased all memories of Ithelia from the Aurbis.[15] Mora retained his own memories of Ithelia without the use of primordial glyphics and also allowed the Vestige to retain their memories of her.[16]

Trivia[]

  • Ithelia's title of the Unseen retroactively refers to Bruscius Longus' dialogue in Oblivion, where he says "Between the seen and unseen, the seeming and the being, lies the gulf of ignorance."[17][18]
