==History==
Herma-Mora was an ancient Atmoran demon who, at one time, nearly seduced the [[Lore:Nord|Nords]] into becoming [[Lore:Aldmer|Aldmer]]. In Atmoran myth he is known as the "Woodland Man" who catches villagers lost in the woods; the secondary set of his name, Mora, is one word for "''wood''", "''woodland''" or "''tree(s)''" in Elvish. Most {{Lore Link|Ysgramor}} myths are about escaping the wiles of old Herma-Mora.{{ref|name=VoF}}{{ref|name=FAHM|{{Cite book|Fragmentae Abyssum Hermaeus Morus}}}}
His enemies are [[Lore:Ebonarm|Ebonarm]] and [[Lore:Vaermina|Vaermina]] and his summoning day is [[Lore:Calendar#Hermaeus Mora's Summoning day|5<sup><small>th</small></sup> First Seed]]. The Hero of Daggerfall quested for the [[Lore:Oghma Infinium|Oghma Infinium]] by summoning Hermaeus Mora.
Hermaeus Mora's shrine in Cyrodiil is located deep within the mighty [[Lore:Jerall Mountains|Jerall Mountains]], where he is said to speak only to the most worthy of mortals in a deep, frightening and almost convoluted way. He once [[Oblivion:Hermaeus Mora|asked]] the Champion of Cyrodiil to bring one soul of each race to him so his followers could use them in rituals to explore the realms of reality as well as space and time, once again offering the Oghma Infinium as a reward.
During the adventures of the Last Dragonborn, Hermaeus Mora was encountered on a quest for the [[Lore:College of Winterhold|College of Winterhold]], where they met a servant of Hermaeus Mora, {{Lore Link|Septimus Signus}}. Septimus requested that the Last Dragonborn bring him a sample of the blood of each of the elven races, in order to recreate the equivalent of [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] blood and thereby unlock the Dwemer lockbox upon which he was working. Hermaeus Mora then confronted the Last Dragonborn directly, saying that if they fulfilled Septimus's request, they would take his place as the daedra's champion, and be well-rewarded. The Last Dragonborn did as requested, and was granted the knowledge of the Oghma Infinium, which was contained in the lockbox. Another champion would be replaced, but for Hermaeus Mora, the Oghma Infinium would be just the beginning.
It was later revealed that {{Lore Link|Miraak}}, the First Dragonborn, had learned his secret powers from Hermaeus Mora in exchange for a life of servitude in Apocrypha. By the return of the dragons, however, Miraak had largely abandoned his master and decided to return to Tamriel by way of Solstheim. After raising an army of cultists and attempting to kill the recently revealed [[Lore:Dragonborn|Last Dragonborn]], Miraak bewitched much of the populace of Solstheim and forced them to build otherworldly structures around the All-Maker Stones on the island, which would be used to increase his power and provide a conduit to return to Tamriel. The Last Dragonborn tracked Miraak's activity to his temple and inside found a [[Lore:Black Book|Black Book]], an artifact of Hermaeus Mora. The Last Dragonborn destroyed Miraak's influence on the island and entered Apocrypha through the Black Books, meeting Hermaeus Mora himself.
Mora told the Last Dragonborn that he was growing tired of using Miraak as a servant, and offered off the dragon shout he provided to Miraak, in exchange for an important piece of knowledge. This knowledge was the ancient religious traditions and powers of the [[Lore:Skaal|Skaal]], who had faithfully kept it from Mora for generations. The Last Dragonborn had to convince the spiritual leader of the Skaal, Storn Crag-Strider, to give up the knowledge, which killed him as it was removed from his body. Their end of the bargain fulfilled, the Last Dragonborn gained the new shout from Mora and went back into Apocrypha to face Miraak. Upon defeating him, Mora appeared again and expressed his disappointment with Miraak, declaring the Last Dragonborn to be his new champion.
