Peryite is the daedric prince of tasks, order and....pestile

Post » Sat Nov 24, 2012 7:03 pm

So... every time I see the Spellbreaker image pop up on the loading screens, I see this sentence describing Peryite... and scratch my head in utter bewilderment.

I'm new to Elder Scrolls, so maybe I'm missing something... can somebody explain to me the connection of tasks and order has, in any way, to pestilence?

I mean, what's next? introducing the Daedric Prince of weapons, war and strawberry pudding?

Peryite causes plagues (pestilence) to cleanse the world. Kesh the Clean, his only follower in Skyrim, says he is the "puss in the wound", the puss cleans out other infections if there are any. By using diseases and plagues he can alter the course of history in small ways, he maintains a slight natural order of the world.

He is the Taskmaster in the Oblivion Planes, he keeps natural order in the lesser Planes of Oblivion.

Someone had to get that sphere after Jyggalag got cursed. The worlds weren't gonna order themselves, so I like to think all of his spheres got divvied up.

He was too orderly and methodical really....

Peryite supported natural order. Jyggalag wanted rigid stiff backed order.
