Who can I bring to Boethiah?
Boethiah, the Daedric Prince of Plots, Murder, and Conspiracy, is known for her unique and intriguing questline in Skyrim. When deciding who to bring to her altar as a sacrifice, it is essential to consider the following factors: their moral alignement, the impact it will have on the Skyrim world, and the strength of their connections to their respective factions. In this article, we will provide an overview of the possibilities and help you make informed decisions about who to summon to Boethiah.
The Perfect Sacrificial Candidates
The following factions and characters have been implicated in Boethiah’s schemes and may be deserving of her wrath:
- Teldryn Sero, the main antagonist of the Boethiah’s Calling quest. His pompous attitude and reckless behavior make him a potential candidate for the altar. **Why bring him**: His actions could be punishment for his own misfortunes and his role as a foil to the good characters.
- Sven or Faendal, in order to put an end to their flirtations. **Why bring them**: Their relationships can be depicted as toxic, and both characters are minor enough in the grand scheme of events to make a sacrifice justifiable.
Other Choices
Other potential candidates with questionable moral standings include:
Lydia**: As a follower of Martin, her involvement in conspiracies and politics could outweigh her noble intentions. This choice could demonstrate the cost of ambition and the destruction it can bring.
Ralis Sedarys: If you decide to side against him in the quest College of Winterhold, the consequences of your actions could lead to his downfall. Using him as a sacrifice showcases the impact of your selfish decisions on the world
Other Daedra and their Morality?
In understanding the morality of other Daedra, it might be useful to consider whether they align with Boethiah’s themes of Machiavellian principles, deceit, and dark magic.

| Sheogorath | Chaotic Neutral | Favors Madness and Unpredictability: May be considered morally flawed, but has a connection to the chaos and mischief that Boethiah encompasses. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Mehrunes Dagon | Chaotic Evil | Enjoys Destruction and War: Possesses qualities similar to the destructive aspects of Boethiah’s schemes. Both share a passion for creation and destruction, making these two Daedra analogous. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Azura | Lawful Neutral | Pursues Balance, Justice, and Protection. Her values differ from the chaotic nature of Boethiah’s morals, likely making her a poor candidate. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
