We are the new gods and we will care for our people.“Īs for how the Tribunal becames gods in the first place…. It is also said Sotha Sil spat in Azura’s face, telling her “your time as a god has ended. It is believed Azura herself was the Anticipation of Sotha Sil but that he disregarded her curse and was one of few able to resist her power, though he chose to appear as a Dunmer like his new cousins. The Anticipation of Almalexia was Boethiah, Prince of Plots. The Good Daedra are those Princes of Oblivion who apparently acknowledged the Tribunal's authority over the Dunmer, as opposed to the Bad Daedra, spirits who did not accept the Tribunal. Theological concerns gave rise to the idea of the "Anticipations", the "Good Daedra" the Chimer had worshipped before the Tribunal's apotheosis – so while the Tribunal had once been mortal, and non-existent before that, their Anticipations were said to have guided the Chimer in their stead. Though confused at first, the Dunmer, with the exception of the Ashlanders, did come to accept the Tribunal as their new gods. When Sotha Sil waved off her omens, the Dunmer were created, and Azura gave a final prophecy: that the Dunmer would share the Tribunal's fate until the end of time. The Daedric Prince issued the prophecy that the Nerevarine would return to punish them for breaking their oaths. Such was the breaking of their oath that the Chimer were cursed by Azura, becoming the Dunmer. A few years following the events of Red Mountain, Lady Almalexia, Lord Vivec, and Lord Sotha Sil, the Tribune, originally counselors to Lord Nerevar, broke this oath and used Kagrenac’s tools on the Heart of Lorkhan to become gods. Unfortunately, Lord Indoril Nerevar, First Councilor of Resdayn, the first to unite the Chimer of Resdayn, died not long after the battle beneath Red Mountain – whether succumbing to his wounds or being murdered by the Tribune so they could enact their plans is unknown. Such was his fear of the Heart, he had them swear on Lady Azura herself. In order to appease his people and prevent further strike, Nerevar made his lieutenants and his people swear to never use the Heart of Lorkhan for any purpose, lest they risk destruction. Accounts vary as to what happened, but the Dwemer then disappeared. The Chimer forces, led by Indoril Nerevar and his wife, Almalexia, as well as other important figures, such as Voryn Dagoth and Vivec, charged beneath Red Mountain to stop the Dwemer. Before this could occur, however, the Chimer, who, up until this point, had been in an uneasy alliance with the Dwemer after repelling an invasion from Skyrim, discovered what the Dwemer were plotting and sought to end the strife beneath Red Mountain, where they launched a full offensive on Kagrenac. Recognizing its significance and its power, Chief Tonal Architect Kagrenac sought to use it to power and control the Brass God, Numidium and thereby achieve whatever their goals were. Quite some time before the Tribunal rose to deification, the Dwemer of Morrowind, then called Dwemereth, discovered the Heart of Lorkhan deep beneath Red Mountain, acting as the Red Tower’s Zero Stone. Some time ago, a request was brought to my attention to undertake the seemingly insurmountable task of dedicating an entire report on the Almsivi, whom were like living gods to the people of Morrowind until the events of the Nerevarine Prophecies, around 3E427, but before I dive even deeper, let’s go back to the beginning.
