We know much about the daedric princes. but we don't know their origin or where they came from, since they're "princes" there has to be a king, the father of the princes. we know the princes haven't been around since the dawn of time, the only fair explination is this, there was only one thing at the dawn of time and that was Akatosh, but could akatosh have a brother? at the dawn of time Akatosh and The Daedric King were made, but as time went on The Daedric King became evil, so Akatosh had to battle his brother, The Daedric King, in the end Akatosh imprisoned The Daedric King in oblivion to forever be forgotted. but, The Daedric King made the princes to go and make armies throughout oblivion to march on the overworld and slaughter everything, then began the oblivion crisis, Merunes Dagon, the firstborn of the Daedric King went into the overworld to destroy it, but then Akatosh kicked Merunes Dagon's ass back to oblivion. and then everything was back to normal, the daedric were defeated. but could the Deadric King come back in aother elder scrolls game? this is just my theory and i've always wanted to put this out there, thank you for taking your time to read this.

I think they are just called princes because of reasons. I've never heard of a Daedric King.

Would like to see if Bethesda also has a reason to call them princes. Then again, they are also called Daedric Lords.

There isn't a Daedric King, the Daedric Princes themselves are said to come from the blood of Anu and Padomay along with all other et'Ada. The title prince is a royal one but does not mean absolute authority and power over others who would be on their same level of power which most Daedric Princes would be given the strange balance that they exhibit. The same can be considered for their Lord title, basically it means that they are all on more or less even footing. None of them are subordinate to another and despite their differences, they are willing to band together to defeat those who are more powerful than themselves or coming too powerful. Jyggalag is a perfect example, his realm was expanding which allowed his power to grow, this made the other princes concerned believing that his power would one day overcome their collective power. So they cursed him with the direct opposite of his sphere: Madness.

Isn't sithis the lord of the void, the dread father. Could he be considered as the daedric king?

The et'ada that didn't participate in the making of Nirn fled into their own planes of existence and they were called daedric princes.Almost every Aedra could be considered as brothers or sisters as they all were formed from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay.

My personal theory is that Peryite is the Daedric King in "charge" of all the Daedric Princes. Why Peryite? Because he's said to be the weakest (and yet has the form of a dragon). The Daedra are beings of change, and so probably didn't like the idea of being accountable to the other Princes even though somebody had to keep Oblivion organized (and nobody wanted Jyggalag to do it). Peryite was probably elected to be the "king" so he could have all the responsibilities (like keeping the lesser Daedra in line) and yet due to being weaker than the most powerful Daedra not have any real ability to back up his authority, which allowed the Daedric Princes to do what they wanted. Of course, this is all just speculation on my part.

Isn't the part about "The Aedra and Daedra being born from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay", not meant to be taken literally?
Anu and Padomay represent two forces, of which their intermingling results in the creation of the Aurbis. In other words, they are responsible for creating everything. Following this, Anu and Padomay would create their own souls, resulting in eventually hundreds of original spirits.
Soon after, the Aedra would be responsible for finalising Nirn's creation, the Daedra didn't, Magnus and the Magna-Ge fled to Aetherius, and the Et-Ada that lost their divinity completely would then become the Ehlnofey, or the first mortals.

I think this comes down to theological/philosophical disagreement. Lots of sources in the Elder Scrolls universe are somewhat biased or unreliable, on top of the fact that (like in real life) nobody has all the answers. Some people think that there aren't any real fundamental differences between the Aedra and the Daedra other than whether they helped to create Mundus or not; other people think that the Aedra are more balanced between Anu and Padomay and that the Daedra have very little of Anu in them, and maybe that's why the Daedra didn't feel like helping to create Mundus to start with. It's up to us to interpret these myths and decide what to believe and what not to believe.
