Are all Daedra "evil"? And are all Devines "good

Are all Daedras "evil"? Are all Devines "good"?
I've not looked at the CK properly yet but do we have Quest lines for each Daedra and Devine?
It feels like Daedras are much better represented than devines in the game. Is this correct?
(I don't really know TES Lore.)



And I'm just being curious with these questions:
Are there an equal number of Daedra and Devines?
And does each god have an equivalent but opposite nemesis to him/her?

People believe the Daedra to be evil, but they aren't evil, cause evil is a point of view.

Daedra represent what they are. Dagon is destruction. Molag Bal is corruption and domination. Hircine is the hunt and the sacrifice of mortals. So in a way, they are the physical manifestations of those things. Ever wonder what six and debauchery would look like as an avatar? Sanguine is your best bet. Don't know why people call them evil, because Daedra cannot change what they are.

It seems to be believed that Azura, and Meridia are not really "evil" but most Daedra are seemingly known for being all around unpleasant to humans. The Divines do not appear to ever do anything directly Good, nor Evil.

Not all daedra are absolutely evil. Some are even somewhat good, while others are grey area.
