A model of the shrine of Malacath from the elder scrolls unverse. Malacath, sometimes called Malak, Orkey, The Blue God, or Mauloch, is the Daedric Prince of the spurned and the ostracized, the keeper of the Sworn Oath, and the Bloody Curse. Malacath was created when Trinimac attempted to stop the Chimer from leaving the Summerset Isles. Boethiah, who was the mastermind behind the exodus, confronted Trinimac. Details of the account vary, with some claiming Boethiah swallowed Trinimac and spoke with his voice to encourage and teach the Chimer while at the same time mocking the opposed Aldmer, before excreting Trinimac out and the remains becoming Malacath. His followers then became the orcs, who fled from the Isles in shame. However, when Attrebus Mede told this story to Malacath disguised as an old woman, the Prince remarked that, "you people are always so literal-minded", indicating that this may not be the whole truth. The Daggerfall Covenant calls this version of events "anti-orc propaganda". The orcs tell a tale whereby Trinimac was defeated by the treachery of Boethiah and Mephala, and cast into the Ashpit by a curse. Trinimac then tore the shame from his skin, and was reborn as Malacath thanks to that disfigurement and shedding of blood. I loved hunting down all of these shrines while playing the elder scrolls games when i was younger but i thought I'd make it a little easier for whoever wanted to find them again. for more of my designs visit goodcat3d.com cheers.
