FINAL ROUND

Propaganda under the cut!

Propaganda for Krogurr from Tumblr:

Krogurr spawned in a bog looking hot as all hell and was named BOGBOY SEXMACHINE on his spawning day. He has adopted the name Krogurr to look more professional as he hopes to establish a world-renowned supermarket. He has NO RELATION to Kroger Supermarkets and gets very mad if you imply he does, which you can do at @orcposts on Tumblr dot Com. Thabk you for your consideration

Propaganda for Malacath from The Elder Scrolls:

The God King of the orcs, the Daedric Prince of vengeance, the ostracized, and the spurned. The Keeper of the Sworn Oath and the Bloody Curse. What else is there to say about Malacath? He used to be the Elven God Trinimac but he was eaten by the Daedric Prince Boethiah and was transformed into his current state, as were all his followers (fun fact, in this universe orcs are considered elves because of this). He is a very paternalistic figure to the orcs, and while they do worship him, he sees them all as his children more than devotees.

Trinimac, Creator of Death

In light of Douglas Goodall's new lore text, The Soft Doctrines of Magnus the Invisible, I have a new theory to propose: Trinimac, by killing Lorkhan, created death, and by extension Arkay. Hear me out.

“Only the shape-taker's respiration emptied the arc for the thief's eye”

This is a quote from Enantiodromia, the second part of the four-part text. The shape-taker is obviously Trinimac, who is known as such because of the Boethiah incident, and the thief's eye is referring to Arkay, who is associated with the Thief constellation. To me, this quote is implying that the former made room for the latter to exist (made it possible for Arkay to exist). Expanding on this, before Mundus death did not exist, the et'Ada were infinite and without limitations, which is why Lorkhan created Mundus; to teach their progeny, through the application of limit, how to become without limit. I believe that, when Trinimac killed Lorkhan at the behest of Auri-El, the concept was created. I find it highly likely that Lorkhan always intended for death to be invented, but I'm undecided on whether he planned for it to be created by Trinimac killing him. It does fit nicely into the theory that Lorkhan always intended for his heart to be ripped out– this heart is the heart of the world. Regardless, the first death was a murder.

That quote also somewhat evokes an elven ballad from ESO, Folly of Man, which laments the rise of mankind: “You'll learn what the Corpse-God wrought. Even Trinimac didn’t know, with his final blow, just how badly he'd been caught”. If Trinimac did indeed create death, based on everything we know about him, it's unlikely that he did so intentionally.

‘Enantiodromia’ itself is defined as the tendency for things to change into their opposites. Is that not what eventually happened to Trinimac?

On Orkey and Trinimalarkay

Orkey is the Nordic god of death, considered a fusion of Arkay+Malacath by many, and is most known for “stealing the Atmorans’ years”, or shortening their lifespans, which is exactly what Trinimac would have done to every mortal by creating death. On top of this, in Nordic legend, Orkey summoned Alduin who “ate almost every Nord down to six years old”. This is interesting because Alduin is, of course, connected to Akatosh/Auri-El, who ordered Trinimac to kill Lorkhan. Trinimac and Auri-El are both responsible for the death of Lorkhan, and both Orkey and Alduin have stolen years away from the Nords/Atmorans.

So who is Orkey? Is he Trinimac? Isn't Tsun Trinimac? Yes and no. For a long time people have tried to equate Trinimac/Malacath with Arkay through Orkey, and while I don't believe they're the same being, it does seem likely that they're connected. Arkay was created unintentionally by Trinimac through the murder of Lorkhan, and their relationship is somewhat similar to Peryite and Akatosh or Lorkhan and Namira. They are connected but Arkay is still ultimately a separate being. The Nords combined Arkay (‘death’) with his creator in an attempt to explain how he came into existence. This would explain how Tsun (who is theorised to be the Nordic equivalent of Trinimac) is present in the Nordic pantheon alongside Orkey, and how Trinimac is present in the Altmeri pantheon alongside Xarxes (who is theorised to be the Altmeri equivalent of Arkay).

And finally, tri-nymic and Arkay, Zenithar and Stendarr.

“Trinimac is probably one of the least understood underpinnings of the whole pantheon. I like him that way, but I would study Mithras if you really want to find out more” -Michael Kirkbride

To summarise, Mithras was a Greco-Roman god, inspired by Mithra, the Iranian god of the sun, justice, contract, and war. Mithra was part of the Ahuric Triad, along with Ahura Mazda (the creator deity, god of the sky), and Apam Napat (god of water). Although this may be boring, I believe tri-nymic is simply a reference to the Ahuric Triad. The Ahuric Triad reminds me of Padomay, Anu and Nir as well. Padomay is, of course, Lorkhan and Anu is Auri-El. What if Trinimac is Nir (the catalyst, the first possipoint)?

Finally, I am a big fan of @ayem's theory that Trinimac was always padomaic. Trinimac pretended to be anuic– and tried to be anuic– so that he could serve Auri-El, but ultimately he could only be Mauloch. The Roads seems to be about how one can only be what they are, which is a recurring theme in The Elder Scrolls.

“Hue is governed by momentum. As much as manifold Meridia loves the Blind, even orphans cannot change their color.”

This quote is obviously about Meridia, but I think it also applies to Trinimac. There are also countless parallels between Meridia and Trinimac: they were both champions of more powerful gods, they both tried (and failed) to be something else, and, in my opinion, Meridia assumed Trinimac's role as ‘warden’ of Nirn after his ‘death’.

Narratively, I think Trinimac accidentally creating death is a very important moment in his story. It's the moment that proves to him, without a doubt, that he will never be able to escape or erase what he is. He tried to be something static, unchanging, and yet he created death– the final destination, the unavoidable end. What is death if not the ultimate transition? No matter how hard you try, you cannot escape your nature.

Some more random thoughts:

In Nordic legend, Alduin/Orkey's curse is thrown onto the orcs by Ysmir Wulfharth, who is believed to be a Shezarrine. I feel like this could be a reference to how the orcs were also transformed/suffered when Trinimac was defeated by Boethiah (who hoped to avenge Lorkhan).

Additionally, Malacath's realm is the ashpit and ashes are associated with death.

The daedric princes fav videogames with little to no explanation:

Azura plays Minecraft but only on creative mode, and she creates aesthetic masterpieces.

Boethiah plays Call of Duty and every game she friendly fires.

Clavicus Vile likes literally any game that can curb his boredom, but in secret he plays Nintendo Dogs and will fiercely deny it if caught.

Hermaeus Mora plays TES games (and of course he knows all the lore).

Hircine isn’t big on video games, but he’s played Duck Hunt once or twice.

When asked his favorite video game, Jyggalag and Sheogorath both said Microsoft Excel but for different reasons.

Malacath tries to play Call of Duty, but Boethiah keeps one-shotting him whether he’s on her team or not.

Mehrunes Dagon’s frequently plays God of War, but his favorite video game is going onto Azura’s Minecraft server and destroying whatever she builds.

Everyone believes Mephala when she says she doesn’t play video games, but she’s really good at Assassin’s Creed.

Meridia plays the Sims 3, but in the way that every one of her sims’ lives is micromanaged perfectly and if even one accident happens she rage quits.

Molag Bal plays the Sims 3, but in the way that he puts his sims in pools and takes away the pool ladder.

Namira plays those online, independently created, super niche creepypasta games that try to trick you into thinking your computer’s been hacked.

Nocturnal plays Dark Souls/Elden Ring and she does a complete play through with no deaths on the first try.

Peryite plays Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator and he’s bad at it.

Sanguine started out playing otomes/dating sims ironically, but now he unironically loves them.

Vaermina isn’t partial to video games, but she doesn’t mind horror games like amnesia.

ROUND 4 - MATCH 2

Propaganda under the cut!

Propaganda for Malacath from The Elder Scrolls:

The God King of the orcs, the Daedric Prince of vengeance, the ostracized, and the spurned. The Keeper of the Sworn Oath and the Bloody Curse. What else is there to say about Malacath? He used to be the Elven God Trinimac but he was eaten by the Daedric Prince Boethiah and was transformed into his current state, as were all his followers (fun fact, in this universe orcs are considered elves because of this). He is a very paternalistic figure to the orcs, and while they do worship him, he sees them all as his children more than devotees.

Propaganda for Gyorik Rogdul, aka York from Drawtectives:

Gyorik Rogdul, aka York, represents the northern tribe of orcs in this series. And it’s brilliant. He casually reveals the craziest shit about the Orc Lore, like “wild trains” being a Creature in ye northern orc tribes that no one has tamed, not even him. It’s probably true, but no one can know for sure. He’s a detective. He’s a model. He killed his half brother and became a prince. He doesn’t know what syllables are. He can read One english word, “sneppy.” He’s 7 feet tall. He’s ace and on the aro spectrum. He has never thought about gender or sexuality. He wants to fight real bad. He helped trans his friend’s gender. One of his nicknames is Piss Boy. He adopted a grown man as his son with his besties

What us there to say…fearless (other than wild trains, which fair), so much love and dumb fits into that body

G'yorik (York) Rogdul is one of the characters ever. He's illiterate. He loves his friends. He has an honorary son. He's in a mostly-canon polycule. He puts people in arm jail. He's a model and a prince. Literally I love him so much (please watch Drawtectives).
