The Tentacles kept banging on the cube, the blue runes pulsing slowly, almost taunting him to continue. The weird eyes had a hateful stare at it, the metals origin and its knowledge unknown to him. He had acquired it from his former servant Septimus Signus, the former expert on the Elder Scrolls at the College of Winterhold almost 200 years ago.
The Daedric Lord of Knowledge and the Scrying of the tides of fate Hermaeus Mora sighed loudly, his displeasure ringing across his realm of Apocrypha.
He had spent the better part of 2 centuries trying to unravel the mysteries of this cube and still, he had not **** its secrets. Sure he knew the secrets of the Skaal now and had added a lot of new knowledge to his library, but the dwemer... These long gone elves had managed to hide their knowledge from him, even after they mysteriously disappeared from the face of... Tamriel...
He turned his gaze across the waters of Oblivion and looked straight at the continent of Tamriel. He chuckled lowly to himself as he recognised the being of immense power traveling across the central province of Cyrodil... "Sheogorath," he spoke out across the waters and into the realm of Mundus, trying to notify his brethren that he had been observed.

Hermaeus Mora
Hermaeus Mora, also known as Hoermius, Hormaius, Hermorah, Herma Mora, and The Woodland Man is the Daedric Prince of knowledge and memory; his sphere is the scrying of the tides of Fate, of the past and future as read in the stars and heavens. He is not known for being good or evil; he seems to be the keeper of both helpful and destructive knowledge, although he usually sees all seekers of any knowledge as his servants.

Background
Also called the Demon of Knowledge, he is vaguely related to the cult origins of the Morag Tong if only by association with his sibling, Mephala. He usually chooses to appear to mortals as a void of darkness, or as a grotesque mass of tentacles.

Plane of Oblivion
As recorded in The Doors of Oblivion, Hermaeus Mora maintains a realm in Oblivion called Apocrypha, where all forbidden knowledge can be found. It is an endless library, with shelves stretching onward in all directions, stacks on top of stacks. Every book has a black cover with no title. Masses of ghosts move through the stacks, rifling through books, eternally searching for the knowledge they sought whilst living.
This location appears in the DLC The Elder Scrolls V: Dragonborn. It can be accessed via Black Books, which can give the reader special abilities. The halls are filled with Seekers who read books and guard the realm. Some areas have Lurkers who also guard the realm and sometimes appear in the mortal realm, unlike the Seekers.
The realm is filled with mist and fog as well as seas of acid-like water, encompassed by a dark green atmosphere. The only known residents other than various ghosts, Seekers, and Lurkers are Miraak and his dragons.
