Vaermina

“	There is no world so great as the world of the mind. There is no voyager so well-traveled as the traveler in the land of dreams. There is no abyss so deep as the well of terror that lies within each of us. I have plumbed its depths. I have seen the unthinkable. I am unafraid. Even death's boundaries do not confine me. I am the lord of limitless space, and the master of place and time. Through the doors of sleep, the universe lies waiting for me. I will no longer wait for my dreams to carry me worlds away, to unknowable deeps, to unspeakable vastness. I shall dwell in the House of Vaermina forever, the Orb my companion. There is no compass to my destination, no end to my journey. My mind is the eternal voyager, fearless and wild with wonder in the Halls of Horror.	„

Summary

Vaermina is the Daedric Prince of Dreams and Nightmares, whose sphere encompasses all fears and horrors. She is believed to be among the most malevolent Lords of Oblivion, and is associated with psychological terror, dark omens, and traumatic memories. She rules over the Plane of Quagmire, an ever-shifting realm of impossible dreamscapes and endless nightmares, each more terrible to behold than the last. However, no matter how horrifying the nightmare worlds may be, they all pale before the visage of Lady of Nightmares herself, for nothing can be more frightening than fear itself. Those unfortunate enough to catch a glimpse of Vaermina's true self and survive will often spend the rest of their lives haunted by her visage, though completely unafraid of everything else, as nothing can compare to the horror of meeting the Daedric Prince herself.

Amongst all Lords Oblivion, Vaermina holds perhaps the closest relationship with the inhabitants of Nirn, as all mortal souls unknowingly wander into her plane when they sleep, though few ever remember the journey as anything more than the haze of dreams. Whenever a mortal steps within Vaermina's realm, the Daedric Prince reaches out from her citadel in the center of Quagmire to pluck the darkest memories from the innermost depths of their minds, which are then woven and added into the nightmarish tapestry of dreamscapes that make up her realm. Those few mortals that worship Vaermina tend to be disillusioned and nihilistic, seeing no value in life and seeking solace inside their dreams. Over time, they will begin to see the waking world as an illusion, a nightmare of suffering and lies from which one can only escape by falling into the true world of dreams.

Classification: Daedric Prince of Dreams and Nightmares, God, Former Et'Ada

Powers and Abilities: Abstract Existence (Type 1. Gods are described as "manifest metaphors" and their actions as "ideologies given skin," existing as aspects of the Aurbis that each personify a specific concept, existing not as mere beings, but as the ideas themselves), Acausality (Type 5. Gods from outside of the mortal plane are completely beyond linear time and reside in a state where all events are always happening simultaneously, being as such unbound by cause, duration, consequence and eventuality, with their lives being described as unable to support most of the qualities of a narrative.), Causality Manipulation (Similar in nature and power to other greater Ada such as the Eight Divines, who are stated to be capable of modifying both the past and the future at their leisure), Immortality (Types 1, 2, 3 and 5. Gods are unbound by the concepts of Life and Death, which only came to be during the creation of the Mundus, and even incomplete deities such as Vivec can resurrect themselves at will from the timeless world of the gods), Resurrection, Higher-Dimensional Existence, Time Manipulation (The nature of time in the planes of oblivion is completely subjective and determined exclusively by the will of the governing Prince, with the inhabitants of such planes being stated to not be subjected to time itself, but to their masters alone.), Spatial Manipulation and Higher-Dimensional Manipulation (Being simply extensions of their being, a Daedric Prince's personal realms are under their full control both in form and structure, with the more charitable ones being able to freely alter their number of dimensions as to create vistas comprehensible to the minds of mortals on a whim, as well as adopt the trappings of linear time to better suit interaction with them), Large Size (Type 10), BFR, Teleportation, Telekinesis, Weather Manipulation, Incorporeality, Telepathy, Portal Creation, Soul Manipulation, Dream Manipulation and Fear Manipulation (Exists within the mind of every mortal, being the personification of fear itself and responsible for all nightmares and evil omens, all of which occur in, and flow from, her realm), Memory Manipulation, Matter Manipulation, Magic, Chaos Manipulation and Probability Manipulation (Daedric Spirits come to power by harnessing the chaos of possibilities that is the void of Oblivion, being unable to truly create, and instead only rearranging formless potential into something concrete), Reality Warping, Conceptual Manipulation (Type 1. Immensely above minor gods such as the Ideal Masters, who are stated to live in a platonic ideal of their own making beyond the Mundus.), Energy Manipulation, Law Manipulation and Physics Manipulation, Transmutation, Mind Manipulation Sound Manipulation and Information Manipulation (The entirety of the Aurbis is, in fact, a song, and entities with divine power are capable of manipulating the underlying tones of existence by acknowledging that principle, shaping reality through the manipulation of stories and archetypes, making myth and metaphor manifest)

Attack Potency: High Hyperverse level (As a Daedric Prince, Vaermina is one of the primary Ada that fundamentally maintain and comprise the infinitely-dimensioned Void of Oblivion, holding absolute domain over and personifying one of the sixteen partitions that make up the entirety of the realm and represent the empty spaces behind the spokes of the Wheel of the Mundus)

Speed: Immeasurable. Omnipresent within Quagmire

Lifting Strength: Immeasurable

Striking Strength: High Hyperverse level

Intelligence: Supergenius. By virtue of her status as a Daedric Prince, Vaermina, in both power and awareness, ranks highest among all Daedra, of which even the lowliest are said to have witnessed all of mortal existence, and to have a far more attuned sense of the Aurbis' scale and nature than even the most erudite of mortal scholars, boasting of a much broader ontological framework fit to dealing with the paradoxical nature of the higher realms.
