Dunmeri Pantheon The Dunmeri Pantheon is one of the more unusual and constantly evolving religions on Tamriel , this is due to the fact that the Dunmer are opposed to worshipping the Aedra . The Tribunal . The Tribunal , also called " Almsivi " , is the tribune of Almalexia , Sotha Sil , and Vivec worshiped by the Dunmer as living gods . They reached ' Godhood ' after the Battle of Red Mountain circa 1E 700 and continued to be worshiped until the Red Year . After this the Tribunal were relegated to saints . Almalexia ( " Mother Morrowind " ) . Also known as the " Lady of Mercy " , Almalexia was the anticipation of Boethiah . Her acts of amazing power and kindness are countless and her blessing was said to do extraordinary things , like protect a person infected with Corprus from suffering the disease ' s effects . Most traces of Akatosh disappeared from ancient Chimer legends during their so - called ' exodus ' , primarily due to that god ' s association and esteem with the Altmer i . However , most aspects of Akatosh which seem so important to the mortal races , namely immortality , historicity , and genealogy , have conveniently resurfaced in Almalexia , the most popular of the Tribunal . Vivec ( " Master of Morrowind " ) . Warrior - poet god of the Dunmer , Vivec was the anticipation of Mephala . Vivec has always represented the spirit and duality of the Dunmer people , which is reflected in his half - Dunmer , half - Chimer appearance . For hundreds if not thousands of years , he mostly resided at the pinnacle of his Palace in Vivec , his capital , which was visited by hundreds of pilgrims and tourists daily . Vivec is the invisible keeper of the holy land , ever vigilant against the dark gods of the Volcano . He has saved the Dunmeri people from certain death on numerous occasions , most notably when he taught them how to breathe water for a day so that he could flood Morrowind and kill the Akaviri invaders , ca . 2E 572 . Sotha Sil ( " Mystery of Morrowind " ) . God of the Dunmer , Sotha Sil was the anticipation of Azura and the least known of the divine Tribunal . It was Sotha Sil who discovered how to use Kagrenac ' s Tools to achieve divinity . He is said to be reshaping the world from his hidden , clockwork city . The Reclamations . The destruction of Vivec City and the subsequent eruption of Red Mountain in 4E 5 cut deeply into the ancient religious beliefs of the Dunmer . The fall of the Ministry of Truth was the last straw in the tottering support for the Tribunal s worship . The Daedra venerated by the Ashlander tribes ( Azura , Mephala and Boethiah ) were named the " true way " and should be revered by the Dunmer people . The Daedra were named the " Reclamations , " as if they were reclaiming their status from the Tribunal . Azura ( " Goddess of Dusk and Dawn " ) . Azura was the god - ancestor that taught the Chimer the mysteries needed to be different than the Altmer . Some of her more conventional teachings are sometimes attributed to Boethiah . In the stories , Azura is often more a communal cosmic force for the race as a whole than an ancestor or a god . Boethiah ( " Prince of Plots " ) . Boethiah is the original god - ancestor of the Dark Elves . Through his illuminations , the eventual ' Chimer ' , or Changed Folk , renounced all ties to the Aldmer and founded a new nation based on Daedric principles . All manner of Dark Elven cultural ' advances ' are attributed to Boethiah , from philosophy to magic to ' responsible ' architecture . Ancient Velothi allegories are uniformly heroic successes of Boethiah over enemies of every type , foundation stories of Chimeri struggle . Mephala ( " Androgyne " ) . Mephala is the " Webspinner " , or the " Spider God " . In Morrowind , she was the ancestor that taught the Chimer the skills they would need to evade their enemies or to kill them with secret murder . Enemies were numerous in those days since the Chimer were a small faction . She , along with Boethiah , organized the clan systems that eventually became the basis for the Great Houses . She founded the Morag Tong . The House of Troubles . The four Daedra Lords , Malacath , Mehrunes Dagon , Molag Bal , and Sheogorath , are known as the Four Corners of the House of Troubles . These Daedra Lords rebelled against the counsel and admonition of the Tribunal , causing great kinstrife and confusion among the clans and Great Houses . They are considered holy in that they serve the role of obstacles during the Testing . Malacath ( " God - King of the Orcs " ) . Malacath , called Malak by the Dunmer , is the god - king of the orcs . He is the reanimated dung that was Trinimac , Malacath is considered a weak but vengeful god by the Dunmer . He tests the Dunmer for physical weakness . Molag Bal ( " King of Rape " ) . In Morrowind , Molag Bal is the King of Rape . He tries to upset the bloodlines of Houses and otherwise ruin the Dunmer gene pool . A race of monsters , said to live in Molag Amur , are the result of his seduction of Vivec during the a previous era . Sheogorath ( " King of Madness " ) . Sheogorath is the King of Madness . He always tests the Dunmer for mental weakness . In many legends he is called upon by one Dunmer faction against another ; in half of these stories he does not betray those who called him , further confusing the issue of his place in the scheme of things . Mehrunes Dagon ( " God of Destruction " ) . Mehrunes Dagon is the god of destruction . He is associated with natural dangers like fire , earthquakes , and floods . To some he represents the inhospitable land of Morrowind . He tests the Dunmer will to survive and persevere . Other revered deities . Lorkhan ( " The Missing God " ) . This Creator - Trickster - Tester deity is in every Tamrielic mythic tradition . His most popular name is the Aldmeri ' Lorkhan ' , or Doom Drum . In Morrowind , for example , he is a being related to the Psijiic Endeavor , a process by which mortals are charged with transcending the gods that created them . Nerevar ( " Godkiller " ) . The Chimeri king of Resdayn , the Golden Age of old Veloth . Slain during the Battle of Red Mountain , Nerevar was the Herald of the Triune Way , and is the foremost of the saints of Dunmeri faith . He is said to have killed Dumac , the Last Dwarven King , and feasted on his heart .
