Moonshadow
"Too much beauty!" Zenas gasped when he went to the next realm. "I am half blind. I see flowers and waterfalls, majestic trees, a city of silver, but it is all a blur. The colors run like water. It's raining now, and the wind smells like perfume. This surely is Moonshadow, where Azura dwells." an account of master Morian Zenas by his faithful apprentice Seif-ij Hidja- The Doors of OblivionThe realm of the Daedric Prince Azura. Moonshadow is a world of eternal twighlight, known for its overwhelming beauty. Khajiit myth claims that the Gates of the Crossing between life and the world beyond lies within.
Winged Twighlights
Winged Twighlights or Seducers are a daedric race born from the essance of Moonshadow, the realm of the Daedric Prince Azura. They prize beauty above all things, and will jealously horde anything they find attractive in their dens. They regularly slip through the Firmament into Tamriel during twighlight hours to steal the objects of their desire. On the occation that a mortal strikes their fancy, they change their form to appear mortal themselves and attempt to lure their prey into the shadows and back to their home plane. They worship their Prince, believing Her to be the most beautiful being in all of creation, and strive to serve Her in all things.The Mazken
In eons past, a group of Twighlights formed a cult in opposition to Azura. They came to believe that Power was more beautiful than even their Prince. They abandoned their home plane, becoming powerful mercenaries in service to whatever Prince or entity was able to bestow upon them greater power. To the mortal races, they came to be known as Dark Seducers. To the educated in the politics of Oblivion, however, their order is called the Mazken. With each new master served, Mazken become less recognizable as the same daedric race, few still possessing wings. They are most known for their black, revealing armor, which belie their merciless tactics. Among the Mazken, a large number have permenantly bound themselves to the land of Dementia within the realm of Sheogorath: The Daedric Prince of Madness. They administer the ever-changing laws of their mad god with reverence and grim seriousness. This band of Seducers, in contrast to their name, are known to be subdued and polite, having little interest in acquiring beauty or power. They simply live to serve. Their only joy in life comes from their rivalry with the Golden Saints; their counterparts from Mania in the same realm.
