Hermaeus Mora, is the Daedric Prince of knowledge and memory; his sphere is the scrying of the tides of Fate, of the past and future as read in the stars and heavens. He is not known for being good or evil; he seems to be the keeper of both helpful and destructive knowledge, although he usually sees all seekers of any knowledge as his servants.

Also called the Demon of Knowledge, he is vaguely related to the cult origins of the Morag Tong if only by association with his sibling, Mephala. He usually chooses to appear to mortals as a void of darkness, or as a grotesque mass of tentacles and eyeballs.

He will offer potential servants knowledge that they desire in return for serving him, though many legends, such as those around his Nordic aspect Herma-Mora involve him tricking seekers to gain their knowledge. He is also known to betray his servants to their deaths when he perceives them as having outlived their usefulness to him.
