A '''Daedra''' is a [[divine]] creature from [[The Elder Scrolls]] computer games series by [[Bethesda Softworks]]. Although the creatures are mostly evil, they are widely worshipped in the realms of [[Tamriel]]. Elaborate shrines are created to honor the Daedra and their gods. The Daedra come in many forms, but all are dangerous foes to the inexperienced adventurer. Although Daedra can be slain, they cannot be killed; the soul of a slain Daedra returns to the flames of Oblivion until it is able to return to the physical plane once more.

The Daedra are the indisputed masters of craftsmanship, creating seemingly indestructable armors and the mightiest of weapons through dark rituals. The Daedric weaponry is forged from the highest quality of raw [[ebony]] (in the world of Tamriel, ebony is a metal as black as coal, refined from volcanic rock). The objects get their power from a Daedric soul, forged into the ebony. The eternal torment of the Daedra can be felt by the wielder of the weapon, making these items suitable only for the bravest and mightiest of warriors.

The Daedra see themselves as a superior form of life to all others and feel generally no need for any alliance or truce with any of the other races of Tamriel; however, there are Daedra in The Elder Scrolls II: [[Daggerfall]], that can be summoned under certain conditions. The summoned Deadra will then give the summoner a quest or task to fulfill. The quest, once completed, will be richly rewarded. Mostly these tasks are merely for the entertainment of the Daedra.
