Almalexia, also known as Almalexia the Lover[1], Almalexia the Warden,[2] and Ayem,[3] was one of the three God-Kings who constituted the Tribunal, or Almsivi, along with Vivec and Sotha Sil. She was very popular among the Dunmer, who called her "Healing Mother", "Lady of Mercy", "Mother Morrowind"[4] and "Sacred Lady"[5]. They knew her as the source of compassion, sympathy, and forgiveness, the protector of the poor and weak, and the patron of teachers and healers.[4] She resided in the temple city of Mournhold within the city of Almalexia, the capital of Morrowind, and was closely associated with House Indoril. She was also the most personable of the Tribunal and was well-known for walking among her people. As a mortal, she was the wife of Lord Indoril Nerevar, First Councilor of Resdayn. As a living god, she became the Consort of Lord Vivec,[2] who associated her with the stars.[3] Her other titles include Face-Snaked Queen of the Three in One[3] and Most Blessed Lady Almalexia.[2]
Originally the counselors to Nerevar, the Tribunal came to power among the Dunmer following her husband's death at the Battle of Red Mountain circa 1E 700. Before his death, they swore oaths to Nerevar upon Azura that they would never use the Tools of Kagrenac on the Heart of Lorkhan in order to steal its divine essence for themselves. A few years later, Almalexia and her fellow Tribunes broke that oath to become living gods. This led to the transformation of the Chimer into the Dunmer, and the Tribunal became their immortal protectors, leaders, and gods.[6][7] The truth of how they gained their divinity was covered up; according to the Heirographa, the orthodox public teachings of the Tribunal Temple, their divinity was a more spontaneous result of their supernatural virtue, discipline, wisdom, and insight.[8][9] The power of Almalexia and the other Tribunes declined during their struggle with Dagoth Ur throughout the Third Era, and Almalexia eventually lost her mind along with her power. During the time of the Nerevarine Prophecies in 3E 427, she killed Sotha Sil and then died in a failed attempt to kill the Nerevarine.[10]
Almalexia showed a great amount of compassion and sympathy for her people, and was known as a protector of the poor and weak.[2] She also had exceptional political skills.[23] Upon seeing Mournhold burned and squandered, she wept, and turned her heart to "molten brass", becoming furious towards Dagon. Sotha Sil sealed the memory away in his great mnemonic planisphere as a reminder of her love's high price.[44]
Almalexia was a skilled and powerful combatant. It is said she was even capable of defeating Vivec in single combat if such a duel were to have occurred.[UOL 1] When entering battle, she yells "ERAM VAR AE ALTADOON!", rending her garments, and donning her killing masks, and draws her sword Hopesfire. During the battle with Dagon amid a firestorm, she skipped over the flames like a river-stone and with a mighty scream, she plunged the blade deep into Dagon's breast and turned it like a jailer's key. Scorching blood spewed out of the wound, scalding her hands and face.[44] The Daedra's claws dug into her belly, spreading poison through her veins while Almalexia throttled him, sending him back to Oblivion for a long time. Afterwards, Almalexia lay on a bed of silk, tended to by Vivec's own healers. Her face, even her lips, was gray as stone, and blood stained through the gauze of her bandages.
Little is known of Almalexia before she became Nerevar's wife. Temple myth holds that on Mount Assarnibibi, Molag Bal oversaw the ninety-nine lovers of Boethiah who gave birth to her.[11] She hailed from one of the Great Houses of Morrowind.[12] Vivec's prose suggests she was already a ruler when she met Nerevar, who was working as a guard for a merchant caravan at the time.[3] Though Nerevar was a generation older than her,[13] they eventually got married. The Dwemer king Dumac, who had become Nerevar's close friend, presented them with twin blades of the highest Dwemeri craftsmanship. Almalexia's was known as Hopesfire.[14] Sources conflict on how her husband met his demise. Most attribute it to wounds he received during the Battle of Red Mountain. The Ashlanders, who rejected Tribunal worship, believe that Almalexia and her fellow Tribunes murdered her husband so he would not interfere with their plan to take divine power.[6][15][16]
As soon as the Tribunal stole power from the Heart, Azura appeared and cursed them. The Daedric Prince issued the prophecy that the Nerevarine would return to punish them for breaking their oaths. When Sotha Sil waved off her omens, the Dunmer were created, and Azura gave a final prophecy: that the Dunmer would share the Tribunal's fate until the end of time. Though confused at first, the Dunmer (with the exception of Ashlanders, who know her as the "Mad Wife")[17] did come to accept the Tribunal as their new gods.[6] Theological concerns gave rise to the idea of the "Anticipations", the "Good Daedra" the Chimer had worshipped before the Tribunal's apotheosis (so while the Tribunal had once been mortal, and non-existent before that, their Anticipations were said to have guided the Chimer in their stead). The Good Daedra are those Princes of Oblivion who apparently acknowledged the Tribunal's authority over the Dunmer (as opposed to the Bad Daedra, spirits who did not accept the Tribunal). The Anticipation of Almalexia was Boethiah, Prince of Plots.[16][18][19][20]
Almalexia wielded her divine power for the protection and benefit of the Dunmer for thousands of years. Sotha Sil largely remained aloof and mysterious, but Almalexia and Vivec both took very active roles in leading their people throughout the First and Second eras. Her acts of amazing power and kindness are countless. Her blessing was said to do extraordinary things, like protect a person infected with Corprus from suffering the disease's effects.[11] Saint Felms the Bold is said to have been inspired by the voice of Almalexia in his head.[11] The Hands of Almalexia were her personal guard, and were often called the greatest warriors in all of Tamriel.[10] Like Vivec, she wrote extensively, though she focused on children's fables and similar works meant to nurture the morality of her people rather than Vivec's more cerebral, spiritual guidance.[1][3][21][22]
In 1E 2920, Mehrunes Dagon destroyed the city of Mournhold. After an epic battle, he was defeated by Almalexia and Sotha Sil. This was portrayed in the historical fiction 2920, The Last Year of the First Era, which also suggested Almalexia foresaw in her dreams the end of the Four-Score War, as well as the end of the Reman Dynasty.[23]
In 2E 572, Almalexia fought alongside Wulfharth, also known as the Underking, against Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal during an Akaviri invasion of northern Tamriel.[24][25] Sources seem to disagree on certain aspects of this conflict. Mysterious Akavir treats Morrowind as the target of the Akaviri invasion, though Skyrim was apparently the Akaviri's initial target. The Arcturian Heresy claims Almalexia was the one who summoned the Underking to fight alongside the Tribunal (even though in life, he had been one of their greatest enemies). Jorunn the Skald-King contradicts this, crediting the Greybeards with summoning the Ash-King. The book also claims that Dir-Kamal's army was crushed by several Tamrielic military forces, not just the Dunmer army under Almalexia's command, and that this occurred at a place called Stonefalls. The other sources do not mention the Nordic or Argonian forces which played roles, and Mysterious Akavir says Dir-Kamal was defeated at Red Mountain.
Following the Akaviri invasion, Almalexia was a strong supporter of the formation of the Ebonheart Pact. It was she who convinced the Great Houses (sans Telvanni) to join the Pact. During the Alliance War of 2E 582, Deshaan was threatened by a cult known as the Maulborn, who sought to topple the Tribunal and return the Dunmer to Daedra worship. They were led by Magistrix Urili Vox, once a handmaiden of Almalexia who turned against her following her son's execution. The insurgents were ultimately put down.[26]
