Tribunal The Tribunal , also known as the ALMSIVI or The Three , were the ruling gods of Morrowind and the Dunmer people from 1E 700 to 3E 427 . The members of the Tribunal were Vivec , Almalexia , and Sotha Sil , and were worshiped by the Tribunal Temple . When the Nerevarine intervened on Azura ' s behalf during the events of in 3E 427 , Dagoth Ur was defeated , leaving the gods mortal . Almalexia killed Sotha Sil , and she was later killed by the Nerevarine , leaving Vivec who in turn disappeared during the Oblivion Crisis . The Tribunal were replaced by the New Temple , who restored worship to the original pantheon of Azura , Boethiah , and Mephala . History of the Tribunal . It began with the War of the First Council after the Chimer uncovered a plot by the Dwemer sorcerer - architect Kagrenac to use the Heart of Lorkhan to construct the Numidium , a giant construct and a mockery of the Daedra and the Chimer faith and way of life . War ensued between the two races . Nerevar , leader of the Chimer , and Dumac Dwarfking , leader of the Dwemer , faced off in battle and were both seriously injured . Dumac is assumed to have died at the location , and Kagrenac disappeared along with the rest of the Dwemer when he used his tools on the heart . Nerevar lived for a short time and sought out the counsel of his advisors Vivec , Almalexia and Sotha Sil , about what should be done with the Heart and Kagrenac ' s Tools . He left his close friend Dagoth Ur to guard the tools while he was gone . Nerevar and the Tribunal agreed to keep and study the tools and Heart of Lorkhan , but Nerevar ' s wish was that they should not use the tools for themselves . Nevertheless , they returned to the Dwemer citadel where Dagoth Ur was left on guard . They found him corrupted and unwilling to give up the tools to Nerevar and the Tribunal . Dagoth Ur escaped from the ensuing fight but was forced to give up the tools . After the death of Nerevar shortly after the battle at Red Mountain , Sotha Sil acquired an understanding of how the tools of Kagrenac and the Heart of Lorkhan worked , and thus how to use them to turn the Tribunal into living gods . The Tribunal then went through the process of stealing its divine essence for themselves . After Sotha Sil angered the Daedric Prince Azura by saying that they didn ' t need the Daedra anymore , as the Tribunal were the new gods of the Chimer people , Azura appeared before them and cursed them for their sacrilege , and subsequently the entire Chimer race , turning then into the Dunmer . Some time after the Nerevarine destroyed the Heart of Lorkhan , the Tribunal of Vivec , Almalexia and Sotha Sil became known as the " False Tribunal " while Boethiah , Azura and Mephala became the " True Tribunal .
