Racial Motifs 22 : Trinimac Content . By the Venerable Uugus , Priest of Trinimac The Elves have forgotten the warrior ideals of Trinimac , but we Orsimer keep them alive ! As the Children of Trinimac , we embody his stoic courage and bold audacity . The arms we bear and the armor we wear shine with gold , in remembrance of Trinimac ' s golden skin . And they are accented with polished ebony , in token of Lorkhan ' s blood when Trinimac tore out his heart . AXES The axes of the Trinimac Cult are notched to evoke the hero Avalian ' s axe , that was damaged when it cracked the heart of the fire mountain . The blades are embossed with Vaia ' s Golden Ash , symbol of strength and unity of the Orcs . BELTS For the worshiper of Trinimac , the belt symbolizes the faith in the Golden Champion that binds the Orsimer together . Its buckle evokes the Champion ' s golden helmet , surrounding a quartz crystal that represents the clarity of Trinimac ' s vision . BOOTS The Children of Trinimac are warriors , so our shoes are sabatons , armored boots with metal - shod toes , gleaming with the light of the Golden Champion . BOWS Our bows are crafted to emulate that of Elsarel , the Orsimer hero who slew the colossal Daedroth Zetthax with a single arrow through the eye . It is said Elsarel did honor to the Golden Champion by practicing with the bow for 20 hours out of every 24 . CHEST PIECES The cuirasses of the Cult of Trinimac are the highest expression of the cult ' s devotion to the perfection of artistic labor : intricate , ornate , rife with symbolism , and yet supremely crafted to perform their function of protecting the warrior in battle . In garb the warrior of Trinimac is ever resplendent ! DAGGERS Our daggers are forged of the finest steel , bifurcated into twin thrusting blades to represent the dual nature of Trinimac , the Golden Champion who is both slayer and protector . GLOVES The followers of Trinimac wear gloves of softest leather to enable fine manipulation , but cover their backs with articulated gauntlets of gilded splints . HELMETS The warriors of Trinimac wear gilded helms in emulation of the Champion ' s helmet , often with golden full - face visors to evoke Trinimac ' s stern features . LEG GREAVES Full greaves , gilded and with knee poleyns , protect the legs of the warriors who fight for Trinimac , seamlessly overlapping the sabatons on the feet . MACES Those who follow the way of Trinimac call their rounded maces the " fists of Usunok , " after the Orsimer hero who could down a full - sized mammoth with a single punch . The cylindrical head encloses a lead ball that rolls outward as the weapon is swung , adding force to the blow . SHIELDS The shield of a Trinimac warrior is embossed with Vaia ' s Golden Ash , the tree from which she carved out the shield that repelled the blow of Rhogar the Destroyer , and which symbolizes the strength , heritage , and unity of the Orsimer people . SHOULDERS The pauldrons of a warrior of Trinimac soar like the wings of Zylvara , the great eagle that bore the Golden Champion to his reckoning with the man - demon Quarvish . STAVES Ebony is said to be the solidified blood of Lorkhan , spilled across Tamriel when Trinimac ripped out his heart with more than hands . Therefore , in the Cult of Trinimac , we adorn our spellcasters ' staves with knobs and insets of polished ebony . SWORDS The sword of a warrior of Trinimac gleams like lightning forged into steel . The one - handed swords are bifurcated like the daggers , but the greatswords are long , single blades , straight and without a taper until just short of the point .
