Vivec
'''Vivec''' is a fictional character from the game [[Morrowind]], one of the three living Gods of the Tribunal Temple, he is the 'warrior-poet' of the Tribunal.

==Legendary Origins==

Vivec was the assistant of [[Nerevar]]. 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]]. Dreughs, octopus-like men, took her to a great city underwater, where she produced an egg. The egg of Vivec was visited by Seht ([[Sotha Sil]]) and seven Daedra, who told her to find the Great Land of the Indoril. On her journey, she met many spirits, who told her of various things regarding Vivec, still unborn. The netchman'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. Vivec's egg was put in a simalcrum 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. In the court of Almalexia, Vivec merged with the simulalcrum of his mother, forming the "magic hermaphrodite, the martial axiom, the sex-death of language and unique in all the middle world."

War with the Nords soon followed, forcing a union between the Dwemer and the Chimer. Nerevar led the war, with Vivec at his side. The First Council rose to power, and Nerevar became the Hortator, the leader of all Chimer.

According to many accounts, the power of Vivec, and the rest of the Tribunal, is waning. Since they were cut off from the Heart of Lorkhan by [[Dagoth Ur]], their continuing godhood is questionable. If the Ghostfence, which the Tribunal maintain, ever fell, it might become necessary for the province of Vvardenfell to be completely abandoned to the demons that reside inside Red Mountain.
