Skyrim:Daedric Quests

< Skyrim: Quests

Daedric quests are quests given by the Daedric Princes, usually with a Daedric Artifact as a reward. Daedric quests are not considered side quests.

Most Daedric quests also have an associated "pointer quest", a miscellaneous quest objective that leads you to the actual Daedric quest. It is not always necessary to obtain the pointer quest before starting the Daedric quest; in some cases, you can start the Daedric quest by simply visiting the related shrine or other location where a Daedric worshipper can be found.

Most Daedric quests can only be removed from your active quest list upon successful completion. However, a few of the quests can be failed, which usually occurs if you kill the quest giver. For example, you can kill Silus Vesuius upon entering his home, resulting in the failure of Pieces of the Past.
