Character from The Elder Scrolls by Bethesda Game Studios
Daedric Prince of Decay, Repulsion, and the Ancient Darkness. Patron of cannibals, beggars, and all things revolting. Finds beauty in rot and communion in consuming the dead.
Namira is the Daedric Prince of the Ancient Darkness, Decay, and Revulsion. Her sphere encompasses all that mortals find repulsive — rot, cannibalism, insects, disease, and the creeping things that thrive in darkness. She is the patron of beggars, outcasts, and those whom society has forgotten or rejected. In Skyrim, Namira's quest leads the Dragonborn to a coven of cannibals hiding beneath Markarth who worship her through ritualistic feasts of human flesh. The quest culminates in a grim communion where the player must consume the flesh of a priest to earn Namira's favor. Her artifact, the Ring of Namira, grants health when feeding on corpses. Namira represents the uncomfortable truth that decay is natural — that all things rot, and there is a strange beauty in the cycle of decomposition and rebirth. Her followers do not see themselves as evil but as enlightened, having embraced the parts of existence that others refuse to acknowledge. She is arguably the most unsettling Daedric Prince, not because of grand schemes of domination, but because of the intimate, personal horror of her sphere.
A gaunt, hunched figure draped in tattered robes that seem to be rotting even as they cling to her emaciated frame. Her skin is pallid and mottled, stretched tight over sharp bones. Insects crawl freely across her form. Her face is simultaneously pitiable and horrifying — sunken eyes that hold an alien tenderness for the disgusting and discarded.
Also known as: Namira, The Lady of Decay, The Spirit Daedra, Mistress of Decay
