However, when he performed the ritual to gain powers from the heart, he and the rest of the Tribunal rewrote history such that they had long been gods before their mortal lives. Many devs and in-game books hint that Vivec was first a man (Vehk) who followed the historical origins. It is also hinted that the cause of this was based on Vivec's desire for Almalexia, the wife of Nerevar.Īs conflicting as the historical and legendary accounts may appear, there is some evidence to reveal that they are both true. It is also believed that Vivec was the mastermind behind the advisors' plan to murder Nerevar and take his place. Born the son of a Netchman, he became one of Nerevar's three most trusted advisors, Vivec and the other advisors convinced their general to make war on the Dwemer. Unlike the story set in the 36 Sermons, Vivec's recorded biography is much less spiritual and amazing. The Tribunal then combined, destroying the Numidium and banishing the Dwemer. The Dwemer, with great brass machines, broke down the gates of Mournhold, but were kept at bay by Almalexia, who she overcame with the "meaning of the stars." Red Mountain erupted upon the entrance of Nerevar, at which point Kagrenac revealed his great creation- a great machine, a "walking star", which destroyed the armies of the Tribunal and destroyed much of Morrowind, forming the Inner Sea. Nerevar slew Dumac at Red Mountain, and saw the Heart of Lorkhan for the first time. Dumac Dwarf-Orc was their leader, but Kagrenac was their High-Priest. Then the war against the Dwemer broke out, the Dwemer coming out of their mighty fortresses, with golden ballistae and many atronachs. Vivec faced the eight monsters that escaped from Muatra, defeating first Moon Axle, then Treasure Wood Sword, followed by Horde Mountain (Which became Vivec City), The Pocket Cabal, The Ruddy Man (Whose destruction created the West Gash), City-Face, and Lie Rock. Vivec and Nerevar traveled the world, teaching Nerevar everything he needed to know before the War with the Dwemer. He did this to make room for the fire- unbeknownst to Nerevar, Vivec had been practicing his Water Face, learned from the Dreughs before his birth. Nerevar, troubled by the lessons of Kinghood, made his way to Vivec, who was weaving his hair into an incomplete map of adulthood and death. His feet were restored by the legions of Daedra, and filled with Daedra-blood, so that he would never have to worry about harming the earth. Vivec lay with Molag Bal for eighty days, though headless.

They were killed later by Vivec, using his spear, Muatra.

Thousands of sons and daughters of Vivec and Molag Bal were produced that day. At this point, Molag Bal, the first corner of the House of Troubles, made himself known to Vivec, who said to him "How very beautiful you are, that you do not join us." Molag Bal summoned armies to attack the feet of Vivec, the part of him that were not invulnerable, and chained him to the earth, and married him. Vivec wandered away from Mournhold, and began to practice his god-powers in a span of wastelands, at one point making himself less dense, so as not to sink into the earth. The First Council rose to power, and Nerevar became the Hortator, the leader of all Chimer. Nerevar led the war, with Vivec at his side. War with the Nords soon followed, forcing a union between the Dwemer and the Chimer. In the court of Almalexia, Vivec merged with the simulacrum of his mother, forming the "magic hermaphrodite, the martial axiom, the sex-death of language and unique in all the middle world." Vivec's egg was put in a simulacrum of his mother, and sent on the way, however, the creation, being of poor quality, broke down, and was taken to the city of Ayem, or Almalexia, however, he was saved by Nerevar. The netchiman's wife was captured by the Dwemer inside a cave on the way to the Indoril lands, who tried to remove the egg from inside her, however, their efforts were to no avail. On her journey, she met many spirits, who told her of various things regarding Vivec, still unborn. The egg of Vivec was visited by Seht ( Sotha Sil) and seven Daedra, who told her to find the Great Land of the Indoril. Dreughs, octopus-like men, took her to a great city underwater, where she produced an egg. According to legend, recorded in the 36 Sermons, Vivec was born to the wife of a netch herder, who was cast into the sea by the Daedra Prince Boethiah, by legend the Anticipation of Almalexia.
