Lore:Shardai Clan
Shardai Clan (also known as Faydra's Clan) is a Daedric clan led by Faydra Shardai. It is in the service of Clan Dagon, led by Mehrunes Dagon. The clan is based in the Havoc Wellhead. It represents the vital, but impulsive and undisciplined element of the destructive principle.
Along with Xivilai's Clan and Dremora Clan, the Shardai Clan aided Dagon in his invasion of the Battlespire during the Imperial Simulacrum. At this time, the Clannfear and the Flame Atronachs were retainers of Shardai Clan. On Faydra's orders, the Flame Atronachs helped to invade the Shade Perilous along with their hated enemies, the Frost Atronachs. To prevent infighting, Faydra made a pact with Xivilai Moath, forcing them to work together. This relationship did not hold, as an apprentice battlemage from the Battlespire, following the retreating Daedric armies, brought the atronachs into conflict over control of the realm. The unnecessary invasion of the Shade Perilous and the increasing rivalry between Faydra and Xivilai displeased Dagon. Imago Storm of Dremora Clan made a deal with the Battlespire apprentice in an attempt to restore order to Clan Dagon. Faydra, however, could not be swayed, and was banished to the Void by the apprentice through the utterance of her incantory neonymic. Meanwhile, Xivilai Moath was tricked into aiding the apprentice and brought his clan into open conflict with Shardai Clan. Following Dagon's banishment, Imago Storm assumed control and restored order to the clans.
