Fun fact: Moth will teach his kids how to fight, and will give them actual swords and say, "just don't kill each other".

Fun fact 2: Sunny was originally married to Kharjo, had R'draan, then Kharjo and Sunny divorced.

Rhuarc the orc looking gorgeous outside the Temple of Dibella in Markarth. Bonus Senna the sassy priestess teasing him... (it's probably because of his slutty little murder gloves and his armour choices, right?)

Today is a good day for my orc-werewolf Phelan :]

For the first time ever I’m playing an orc! 🤩 And I may or may not be absolutely smitten with him.

His name is Moth, he’s a pale orc with white hair, and he’s a devout of Boethiah (for an orc, would be like being a Christian Satanist).

He lives for pain and its ✨intricacies✨, you see. (if you know who the inspiration is, you have taste)

He achieves divine strength through suffering, and is something of a flagellant. He wears a cilice garter, has a heavily scarred face, and his body is practically covered in tattoos. There are also small nods to Mephala in his tattoo designs, as he honours her, too as she aided Lord Boethiah in the Prince’s fight with Trinimac.

(The story goes that Trinimac led armies of elves against humans and Boethiah, seeing him as the strongest, consequently ate him to assume his shape in order to create the Orcs and Chimer. The Prince then essentially shat him back out and Trinimac became Malacath, a weaker and more vengeful version of his prior self.)

Moth rejects worship of Malacath in favour of worship of Boethiah, because the suffering he endured should have made him stronger, yet it instead twisted him into something less powerful. So in Moth’s eyes, Trinimac/Malacath failed, and the Orcs should instead owe their creation to Boethiah.

A hot take, and one that is widely unpopular with other orcs, hence why he keeps his distance. He keeps such a distance, in fact, that he joins the Volkihar Clan. Despite being a vampire, he remains ever faithful to Boethiah, seeing this extra layer of suffering (being unable to enter the sunlight and being forever hungry) as a way to gain strength through devotion. He also joins the dark brotherhood to satisfy his religious fervour for stealthy and bloody sacrifice.

The ultimate suffering, for him, however, is when Boethiah demands a sacrifice of importance to him, and he chooses his most beloved follower to slay at the Sacellum of Boethiah. He revels in his grief, sure that it will make him stronger…

But it gnaws away at him. He begins to question himself. He has Boethiah’s favour. He is the Lord’s champion. But at what cost?

If it hurts, he’s doing it right. Right?

One of two things is going to happen. The certainty, here, is he is going to see parallels between himself and Trinimac/Malacath. It’s just a case of ✨when✨.

Either he will recognise what has happened immediately and devote himself to Boethiah even more violently, refusing to become like Malacath in favour of remaining strong like Trinimac…

Or he will only recognise what has happened after he has become a vengeful, hollow, weakened husk of his former self.

(Also as a funny side note, due to some weird glitch/bug, Moth cannot swim. Dude sinks like a brick. He also gags whenever he has to test alchemy ingredients (even if they’re pleasant).)
