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.
Clan Shardai exiled a Dremora by the name of Xyria, who fell in love with an Argonian summoner named Xocin during the Second Akaviri Invasion. After reforming, members of the clan sought to hunt Xyria for her forbidden affections, leading to Xocin to attempt to summon his lover back to Nirn, though their fates remain ambigious.[1]
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 Daedra were retainers of Shardai Clan. On Faydra's orders, the Fire Daedra helped to invade the Shade Perilous along with their hated enemies, the Frost Daedra. To prevent infighting, Faydra made a pact with Xivilai Moath, forcing them to work together. This relationship did not hold, as an apprentice from the Battlespire, following the retreating Daedric armies, brought the Elemental Daedra 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 back to Oblivion 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.[2]
