Daedra Worship Notes: Nocturnal.

The daedric prince of night and darkness, known also has the Night Mistress or Lady Luck. The Khajiit know her as Noctra. She is also referred to as Ur-Dra, part of the original void. It is said that she is the oldest and one of the most powerful Daedric Princess.

Nocturnal brings shadows and luck when called upon. Her physical description is always that of a women dressed in a dark cloak, sometimes black other times a dark purple. Her arms usually outstretched with multiple nightingales (or similar birds) flying around her.

While worshippers of Nocturnal are those who operate in the shadows, such as thieves or spies, Nocturnal is not an evil Daedra. As Karliah describes her, "she is like a scolding mother who pushes her child to do better," which suggests that unlike other Daedra, Nocturnal cares for mortals.

Worship of Nocturnal

Nocturnal does have quite a large following, however she has no one form of an organized sect of followers. While there is a temple and shrines of her in Nightingale Hall and in the Twilight Sepulcher- which is built around the Ebonmere portal which leads to Nocturnal's corner of Oblivion called, Evergloam, the Night Mistress does not seem to care much for Worship.

Few sects that Worship Lady Luck are as follows, Nightingales, a coven of all female witches, and even a cult.

The Nightingales

The Nightingales serve Nocturnal directly, in return they can receive the powers of Shadow, Subterfuge, or Shadow. Once a Nightingale enters the contract with Nocturnal they are bound to her to guard the Twilight Sepulcher and serve her until she feels that the contract had been fulfilled.

Witches

Like other Daedric Princes, Nocturnal has a following of all female followers known in game as witches. The Purloined Shadows is a coven dedicated to serving Nocturnal.

Cultists

The Daedric Prince has at least one cult dedicated to serving her, this cult is known as the Whispering Shadows. They operated throughout the Clockwork City in the second era. In Summerset she has only one known human follower- Earl Tundilwen.

Pop Culture Followers

Many folk who have played the Elder Scrolls game have taken to following the Prince in real life. Worshipping a pop culture figure is really no different than worshipping another figure in real life. How you choose to worship is up to you.
