==Legendary Origins==

(contracted; show full)

==Real Origins==

Unlike the story set in the 36 Sermons, Vivec's true origins are much less spiritual and amazing. Born the son of a Netchiman, he became one of [[Nerevar]]'s three must trusted advisors, Vivec and the other advisors 
strong convinced their general to make war on the Dwemer. It is also believed that Vivec was the mastermind behind the advisor's plan to murder Nerevar and take his place. It is also hinted that the cause of this was based on Vivec's desire for [[Almalexia]], the wife of Nerevar.

==Vivec in Modern Morrowind==

In the modern politics of Morrowind, Vivec, beyond being one of the unofficial rulers of Morrowind, is venerated, along with Almalexia and Sotha Sil, as a god among men, the Warrior-Poet of the Tribunal, or Almsivi. Although not as visible a figure as Almalexia or the King of Morrowind, Vivec maintains considerable influence on the people, particularly in the Province of Vvardenfell, where he resides in the giant city of Vivec. It is said that, if the people of Morrowind stopped venerating him, the Ministry of Truth, a moonlet floating just a few hundred feet over Vivec City, would crash into the city, killing everyone. This, along with his religious power, and the power of the Tribunal Temple, creates a force mostly unopposed by the Empire.

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.
