预知者

魔族外来神是强大的先祖魂，外型与本质皆与裁决者相似（称颂他们的圣名），但是力量较弱，而且对凡人的事务更专断也更疏离。古时，奇莫人将魔神当成圣神崇拜，然而他们不配获此尊崇，因为魔神经常伤害其崇拜者，比例跟帮助他们不相上下。

裁决者（称颂他们的圣名）的出现改变了这痛苦的情况。经过神格化，裁决者（称颂他们的圣名）成为丹莫人的保护者和高等祖灵，并命令魔神展现适度的敬意和服从。三好魔神波耶西亚、阿祖拉和梅法拉，被认可为先祖三位一体，是为神（称颂他们的圣名）。至于造反者魔神莫拉格·巴尔、玛拉凯斯、谢尔格拉和梅鲁涅斯·大衮，则拒绝向裁决者（称颂他们的圣名）宣示效忠，他们的崇拜者也遭驱逐。

这些反叛者魔神因而成为动乱之屋的四桩脚，不断打搅我们的安宁并引诱粗心之人堕入异教崇拜。神殿的祭司随时警惕着魔鬼再现，他们有时仰仗忠诚的三好魔神，毕竟他们更为熟知自己的造反同胞有哪些花招诡计。

神殿称呼三好魔神为预知者，因为他们是扶持裁决者的早期祖先。这三位预知者，即是魔神波耶西亚、梅法拉和阿祖拉。

波耶西亚是爱玛蕾希雅的预知者，不过是男性。早于神话纪元的许久以前，波耶西亚启蒙了精灵。他告诉他们洛克汗试炼的真相，并打败了奥瑞-艾尔的勇士崔尼马克。波耶西亚吃了崔尼马克，再将他放出来。波耶西亚和崔尼马克的追随者将混含崔尼马克的土壤抹在自己身上，改变了肤色。

梅法拉是维瓦克的预知者，雌雄同体且时时变化。梅法拉教导奇莫人如何躲避或暗杀敌人。在那个时代，到处都是敌人，因为奇莫的人数稀少，敌人则四方皆是。梅法拉将氏族组织起来，演变为今日的豪族。之后，梅法拉成立了魔拉格堂。

阿祖拉是索萨·席的预知者，不过是女性。阿祖拉教导奇莫人如何有别于先祖精灵。有时候她的教诲被归于波耶西亚。在故事里，阿祖拉经常是以全种族的祖先之姿而非个体之祖出现。她与晨昏密切相连，有时候被称作神母之灵。阿祖拉之星也叫微明之星，在黄昏和黎明时会短暂低挂在地平线上，位于骏马星座下方。阿祖拉涉及神秘与魔法、命运和预言。

The Anticipations

The Daedra are powerful ancestor spirits, similar in form and substance to the Tribunal (Blessed Be Their Holy Names), but weaker in power, and more arbitrary and removed from the affairs of mortals. In old times, the Chimer worshiped the Daedra as gods. But they did not deserve this veneration, for the Daedra harm their worshippers as often as help them.

The Advent of the Tribunal (Blessed Be Their Holy Names) changed this unhappy state. By the Apotheosis, the Tribunal (Blessed Be Their Holy Names) became the Protectors and High Ancestor Spirits of the Dunmer, and bade the Daedra to give proper veneration and obedience. The Three Good Daedra, Boethiah, Azura, and Mephala, recognized the Divinity of the Triune Ancestors (Blessed Be Their Holy Names). The Rebel Daedra, Molag Bal, Malacath, Sheogorath, and Mehrunes Dagon, refused to swear fealty to the Tribunal (Blessed Be Their Holy Names), and their worshippers were cast out.

These Rebel Daedra thus became the Four Corners of the House of Troubles, and they continue to plague our tranquility and tempt the unwary into Heresy and Dark Worship. The Priests of the Temple remain ever vigilant for signs of the Adversaries' return, sometimes aided by the loyal Three Good Daedra, who are familiar with the wiles of their rebellious kin.

The Good Daedra are known to the Temple as the Anticipations, since they are the early ancestral anticipations of the loving patronage of the Tribunal. The Anticipations are the Daedra Lords Boethiah, Mephala, and Azura.

Boethiah is the Anticipation of Almalexia but male to her female. Boethiah was the ancestor who illuminated the elves ages ago before the Mythic Era. He told them the truth of Lorkhan's test, and defeated Auriel's champion, Trinimac. Boethiah ate Trinimac and voided him. The followers of Boethiah and Trinimac rubbed the soil of Trinimac upon themselves and changed their skins.

Mephala is the Anticipation of Vivec, but manifold and androgynous. Mephala taught the Chimer to evade their enemies or kill them with secret murder. Enemies were numerous in those days since the Chimer were a small with enemies on all sides. Mephala organized the clan systems that eventually became the Great Houses. Later, Mephala created the Morag Tong.

Azura is the Anticipation of Sotha Sil, but female to his male. Azura was the ancestor who taught the Chimer how to be different from the Altmer. Her teachings are sometimes attributed to Boethiah. In the stories, Azura is often encountered more as a communal progenitor of the race as a whole rather than as an individual ancestor. She is associated with Dusk and Dawn, and is sometimes called the Mother Soul. Azura's Star, also called the Twilight Star, appears briefly at dawn and dusk low on the horizon below the constellation of the Steed. Azura is associated with mystery and magic, fate and prophecy.
