Description:
Nocturnal is also known as The Night Mistress or The Unfathomable. According to our best source on this Daedroth, the bestseller "Invocation of Azura", it is in her nature that it is impossible for mortals to understand her. Her ways are mysterious, and as one of her names suggests, her whole being is unfathomable.
History:
The unknown hero from Daggerfall had a brief encounter with this Prince and got rewarded with the Skeleton Key for the fulfillment of a mission. Nocturnal also created the Bow of Shadows that was given to a legendary ranger by the name of Raerlas Ghile. Ghile failed his mission and the bow was lost, but it is rumored that at the end second era, it came into the posession of the Dunmer Dram, an imperial assassin in the service of Tiber Septim at the time of the Redguard rebellion. In the third era, this artifact is said to have resurfaced in the bowels of an ancestral tomb in the province of Morrowind.
Michael Kirkbride's comment: (from the official forums)
"Nocturnal is accorded the title Ur-dra by nearly all the Royalty of Oblivion. As the mother of night, she claims to be an aspect of the original Void itself, and it is generally deemed best to fortify this declaration in one's evening prayers."
