==Vivec in Oblivion==

Though not a specific subject the player can still hear of Vivec in Oblivon.  Through NPC conversations before the completion of the main quest Vivec is said to have gone missing.  Beyond that there is no details to how or why.  The two most likely theories so far is that he is taken by the Daedra or that he is slain by the Nerevarine as prophesized by Azura.


==The Trial of Vivec==
Though not part of official lore, Michael Kirkbride (uncredited author of the 36 Sermons of Vivec)
, Ted "Tedders" Peterson, Ken Rolston, and several Bethsoft Devs and former Devs participated in a roleplaying session on the Official Forums.  ⏎

As such, it is believed to be semi-official by fans, and is referred to as "The Trial of Vivec."  

The basic story presented is that sSeveral prominent TES characters, (Divayth Fyr, Uriel Semptim VII, and Daedra Prince Sheogorath included,) are called to witness in the Trial of Vivec -; specifically in order to judge Vivec's role in the death of Indoril Nerevar and the shift of Chimericfrom Daedra worship towards that of Almsivi/The Tribunal (Almsivi).

Towards the end of the story, with all respect paid to the rest, Daedric Prince/Princess Azura is calledDaedric Prince Azura personally appears to present arguments against Vivec.  In a surprising twist, Vivec begins an incantation using "evidence" presentedbrought against him in a powerful binding spell to permanently banish Azura from Tamriel:

"By this Shadow, I call your neonymic forth, your chosen throne, sundown and sunrise, death and birth of shadow. You are bound to this place.

AE ALTADOON DUNMERI for my sister's madness I eat you."

AE ALTADOON DUNMERI for my brother's wasting I eat you.

I climb you, moon and moon, and Dance on your Tower. AE CHIM CE ALTADOON for my own revenge I eat you. 
AE CHIM CE ALTADOON for my own revenge I eat you."

After his spell is complete, Azura explodes.  ⏎

Vivec then reveals with glee how he has waited for revenge against Azura for an age; this references both the "punishment" of black skin and red eyes that turned the Chimer into the Dunmer, and undoubtedly the reincarnation of Nerevar (The Nerevarine) specifically to kill The Tribunal.   ⏎

Vivec then proudly proclaims his hidden message from Sermon 29 (see 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 29) before he vanishes.) before he vanishes:  "He was not born a god. His destiny did not lead him to this crime. He chose this path of his own free will. He stole the godhood and murdered the Hortator."
