"Nemesis Malachis" is another "Ring Goddess" whose true form has arrived. According to convention, as the gray stone goddess with her own annihilation domain, the lord will plant a small golden tree in the annihilation domain of the goddess of vengeance, Malachis.
The Ashpool, the Annihilation Realm of Malacath, is said to be a land of ash without sky or ground. Only particles and dust are floating, falling and spinning. It is a place of pain, betrayal and abandoned promises, just like the bitter air. Full of ash. Few mortals can reach this realm, where Levitation magic (Levitation magic), the Empire passed and established "The Levitation Act" in 3E 421, completely prohibiting the use of levitation magic. But despite this, as an empire, Morrowind, one of the provinces, was not restricted by this law because of the autonomous status of the dark elves and the traditions of the major families. Therefore, until the end of the Third Era, this type of magic was still prevalent in Morrowind and Vvardenfell. ) and Magical Breathing are magical skills necessary for survival.
However, certain areas of the realm are safe for mortals. In 4E 48, during the Crisis in Hell City, Malachis brought Prince Atrebus Mede and Izamar Sur to the Ashpool. In "a place where only particles and dust are floating, falling and spinning, a place of pain, betrayal and abandoned promises", the heroes who saved Hell City from the crisis discovered a garden full of slender trees. The tree trunks were twined with "lily-blooming vines"; "many spheres (bubbles) moved deep in the colorless sky, as distant and pale as the moon".
The garden seems to have had some special emotional significance for Malachith, who described it as "the shadow of a garden" and "an echo of something that once was".
The same as the annihilation domain of all demons with exclusive chaos creation. Pain, betrayal and broken oaths fill the bitter air like ashes, and the breath of magic mixes with the dust to support all things here. This is the unique chaotic creation quality of Ashpit: "Ashpit Air". It's no secret that the Mages' Guild likes to bottle this thick, billowing steam as a valuable arcane material and ritual item.
"Ashen Forge" is located in the center of Malacath's own stronghold in the Ashpool. There are rewards here for orcs who revere Malachith with the promise of immortality in the afterlife, abundant food and drink, and constant battle in the depths of Ashheard. Some people say that the Gray Pond Stronghold stretches across the planes endlessly, even extending from the stars to the light realm, allowing every valuable orc who has traveled from this life to the next to enter. In the stronghold of Malacath, every orc is a chief, with thousands of wives and concubines (my lord, please come on), and each wife and concubine has a thousand slaves to provide for her various needs. The strong walls of the fortress are a hundred feet high, reaching straight into the smoke and clouds. They are all made of fine iron and bright steel. Stone castles, iron towers, and longhouses within the walls surround the central ash furnace.
The Ashforge fills the endless space of Malacath's Forge, a vast hearth that burns with the fires of the sun. The orcs of Tamriel, who follow the Code of Malacath, keep the fires burning. Each orc must undergo a "tempering ceremony" in this fire when they first arrive in the afterlife. They were thrown into the fire, and all the resentment they carried into the afterlife was melted away, eventually forged into a new generation of orcs (mortals). As the grudges against Tamriel were burned and returned, the orcs who achieved immortality began to collect new grudges related to their new lives (in the afterlife). Some unforgettable (past life) grudges can be forged into legendary weapons and armor on the Ashen Anvil next to the ashen furnace.
It is said that the general process is that the orcs who are reincarnated into the afterlife are "pushed into the coal furnace of Malacath", where they are tempered, tempered and made whole in the cleansing fire of Malacath. Their resentment and anger are repeatedly forged and hardened on the anvil of ash (ash anvil). It is said that there is no place for "soft souls" in the Ashfurnace; instead, it is believed that they (soft souls) were given to Trinimac, who watched over all fallen people and guided them to their final reward. Orc Spirit Legions can be found in the Ash Pit. The demons of the Doomdriven Clan serve as the commanders and commanders of these orc spirit armies. The Doombringers are also the envoys of Malacath's mortal followers in Nirn (the Doombringers tribe are servants of Malacath and are sometimes sent by the Forsworn as envoys to his followers on Nirn. However, they are more A common identity is the marshal and commander of the Ash Pit Orc Soul Legion).
Ashpit's spine is a surprisingly light-textured skeleton spine (orc urn) found in the field. It is made of gray ash, from which bone fragments are said to have been taken and brought to Tamriel. The Mad God Sheogorath claims that the Spine of the Ashpool is a metaphor for the "backbone" of the realm he despises (Malaketh). And "By the Ashpit" is an expression of the orcs.
In the view of mainland scholars, this legend about Malachis is of great value in understanding the spiritual world of the orcs. Generally speaking, a race's view of the afterlife is often a reflection of real life. The dream of having a group of wives and concubines is a sad reflection of the unfortunate lives of many orcs in this world. Countless food and slaves are also luxurious dreams that the orcs cannot pursue in this world. The orcs live in the cracks of Tamriel, competing for limited living space with the surrounding Reach, Nord, Breton, Redguard and other races. They also need to overcome the extremely cold climate of the Wrothgar Mountains. In order to In order to survive, orcs form tribes, everything is survival first, and they often sacrifice personal interests for the survival of the tribe, whether it is marriage, freedom or other rights. Because of this, their dissatisfaction with life in this world is pinned on the next life.
Born with resentment, resolves resentment after death, then recasts, refuses, and repeats forever; fighting in life, fighting in death, life is like a sword that is forever tempered. There is no rest until death, but eternal reincarnation. I have to say that this belief is both heavy and depressing. Perhaps, from the moment the orcs were born, the fate of the "abandoned" and the name of the "abandoned elf" have become the unchangeable narrative of the orcs.
After looking around, the lord, as expected, planted the golden tree in the beautiful and peaceful wooden garden of Gray Pond Castle, which is like a paradise. The spores of the golden tree that gave the law were grafted onto the vines where lilies bloomed.
Soon, a "lily tree" thrived in the Ashpool Stronghold, and penetrated deep into the ridge of the Ashpool, taking root in the bottomless orc ashes pit. According to the Lord's understanding, these ash pool ridges annihilated in the thick ashes are the remnants of the reincarnated orcs' past lives that were repeatedly forged on the ash anvil during the "tempering ceremony". Even the ash pond itself is a huge crematorium and ash pit. It's just that what is burned and forged here is the soul of the orc that is full of anger and hatred.
The demons of the Doombringer tribe were the first to be swallowed up by the spherical bulbs of the "Lily Tree".
Bulb is a type of Modified Subterraneous Stems. The abnormal stems are very shortened and disc-shaped, with thick and fleshy scale leaves on them, which store extremely rich nutrients and water. Can adapt to dry and hot environmental conditions. The bulbs also have terminal buds and axillary buds, from which above-ground flower stems can develop and produce flowers and fruits. Adventitious roots can grow from the lower part of the bulb disk, and one or several new bulbs can be formed from the axillary buds every year, called daughter bulbs, for reproduction (please note).
Just like the Thester Mother Tree that can swallow psychic energy. This "lily tree" with its huge underground abnormal stems extending in all directions can also allow the orc spirit army beside the ash pool to carry out a grand "soul walk". Feed back and nourish the gestating doomsday messengers in the spherical bulbs.
Yes, the orcs are followers of Malacath. And the Doomsday Messenger is the dependent of the Goddess of Vengeance.
