Lets talk about Stillmaker, Durge’s other canon blade
Okay, so we already know that Durge had the Bloodthirst dagger which was created from Bhaal’s own blood and carried by his chosen.
But there is another dagger in the game you can find that also canonically belonged to Durge, Stillmaker.
We see Stillmaker portrayed in Dark Urge’s official artwork, and it’s also Durge’s blade in Idle Champions, as you can see.
I’ve noticed that Stillmaker matches Bloodthirst in design, but it is conspicuously green, as opposed to every other Bhaalian weapon I’ve seen which are red.
You know who else’s canon weapon has the same green coloring? Gortash. And who is the color green associated with? Bane. Stillmaker looks like it was made in the same design to Gortash’s crossbow.
I posit then, that being close to one another as they were, Gortash either made or commissioned Stillmaker to match with Bloodthirst and gifted it to Durge. It’s far more his style in looks, and I feel it’s something he would have done as he describes Durge as his nearest and dearest, and we know they worked very closely together and admired one another.
(Mild flashing/eyestrain warning for the second half! I'll post a slower version below that's less flashy and let's you see the details)
A short Morrowind animation for a MAP (Multi-Animator Project).
It was fun trying different methods of animation (no reference for Nerevar, rotoscoping a 3D model for the ring, and a video reference for the hand) and letting myself use a loose sketchy style!

Hello everyone! The official Patreon has been launched. There, you can support me. If you're unable to afford, or you prefer a one off tips, you can visit my Kofi!!!
I've made an official Discord so fellow followers, artists, gamers, and more can chill and see more wips and interactions in action!
At first, I was nervous to do this since I tend to be shy. But I am going to get outside of my comfort zone so I can interact with more creatives and others!!
Hope to see you all there!

It’s wild how the TES fandom always has this joke when it’s like, there’s character customization for a reason? The Nerevarine, Hero of Kvatch, and Dragonborn can be literally anything. I mostly see it on Morrowind but maaaan. The joke is about as good as spoiled milk lol
Average comment section on any morrowind related post with an argonian in it, jokey or otherwise :/
