Mehrunes Dagon is the Daedric Prince of Destruction, Change, Revolution, Energy, and Ambition. He is associated with natural dangers like fire, earthquakes, and floods. He is an especially important deity in Morrowind, where he represents its near-inhospitable terrain. In some cultures, though, Dagon is merely a god of bloodshed and betrayal. Dagon's plane of Oblivion is known as Deadlands. As the name suggests, they are barren wastelands, consisting of blackened isles in a sea of lava.
In Oblivion, the plot centers around Dagon's plot to destroy the Septim bloodline, and open the gates to Oblivion throughout Cyrodiil, to launch a new invasion. The Cult of the Mythic Dawn are diehard Dagon worshipers and work to bring the coming of Dagon in Oblivion, by assassinating the Emperor and three of his heirs. The cult focuses on the eternal dawn on which Dagon shall come to cleanse the world of all non-followers. Dagon himself makes a short but dramatic appearance as a gigantic four-armed humanoid armed with an axe and talons at the climax of the Oblivion Crisis.
