    The Raven Goddess

    ---Reason for being in Skyrim---

    Morrigan was a god worshiped by the ancient Breton pantheon, she was the goddess of Death, War, and, Life. It is unknown how she came into being some say that she was a Lessor Daedra the Daughter of Daedric Prince of Night Nocturnal. When the Empire took over she eventually disappeared from history as a major goddess. Instead she became a Minor goddess worshipped by necromancers and foul creatures of darkness, another group that worshipped her was the Forsworn. She retained a deep hatred for the Empire for the loss of most of her followers, she even hated the Empire for bringing the world together as well as working the Thalmor. She views that each of the lands of Tamerial should remain independent nations of the own.

    When the world eater appeared in Skyrim she was visited by the eight divines who wanted her to defeat the world eater, because Morrigan was the goddess of death and could control and absorb souls. Morrigan agreed on one term they recognized her as a Goddess, the Divines agreed. Thus Morrigan traveled to skyrim in order to spread her worshipping as well as to stop the world eater from destroying her land. Eventually she was caught at the border after a fight with Aludin that weakened her slightly.

    “The echoes of war raged on, the cries of suffering, the yelling of victory echoed throughout the once lushes field. A valiant and well known general grinned as he saw his victory in sight, from his grin twisted into a face of horror as he fells something perched on his shoulder the sound of a raven squawked in his ear. His fate has been sealed a cold feeling grasped him as he lost his will to live, only then did he remember a young maiden cleaning his armor. A cry of horror escaped his mouth as he felt a sharp pain in his chest and something shinny through his chest. Only then did he realize his doom was written in fate”

    The Goddess Morrigan represented the circle of life, she was associated with both birth and death as well as war. Her name means great queen or phantom queen. Morrigan is also a water Goddess, ruling over rivers and lakes. Her scared birds are crows and Ravens, her scared plants are Nirin Root, yew and, willow.

    In Breton Mythology of Highrock, the goddess of war, Morrigan could change her shape, becoming both different humans, but most often a beautiful young woman, and, an old milkmaid. She could also take the form of different animals, most often a raven or crow. Usually she did not fight herself but influenced the mind of soldiers. Her appearance alone could scare soldiers who were about to enter battle, and she could easily turn innocent people into pools of water. 

    The Goddess Morrigan also possess the ability of foresight able to tell when people are going to die. If Morrigan landed as a crow on the shoulder of a solider, it meant that the gods had decided it was his time to die. The Solider would lose his strength and his enemies could be confident about attacking him. Also Morrigan appeared as “The Washer at the Ford.” If she washed a soldier’s armor before he went into battle, it meant he was going to die fighting

    ---Gear---

     

    Armor

    • Ethereal Crown, Savior’s Hide, Stormcloak officer gauntlets, and, boots

    Weapons

    • Dragon bone sword with fiery soul trap 
      • Or you could use the nightingale sword
      • Dragon Bone bow with Ice Enchantment and soul trap

    • Conjuration: Wraithman, Boneman, reanimate undead, and, revenant, mistman, and, banish undead etc

     

    Before you go into combat you’re going to want to buff your allies with your strongest courage spell, then use your Fear spells to cause confusion and make your enemies run like hell. As they are running you’re going to pick them off with your bow. You will Eventually have a Mini army going on with your bone man and undead. Eventually once you get into Melee range that’s when you are going to switch to your sword and shield. Also you should switch to your sword and shield when you are surrounded and when your spells won’t work.

    With mages you’re going to use your fear spells first trying to get them to run off in terror, if that doesn’t work equip spellbreaker and close in the range, use this tactic with archers as well closing in the range and then destroy them with your sword. With Undead and vampires, you’re going to be using your restoration spells to manipulate and control them while picking them off with your bow or weapon. You will also be using your healing powers to help your allies healing them.

    ---Abilities---

    The Raven’s Perch

    The valiant general cried in horror as he felt the raven perch on his shoulder, the gods chose him to die and thus the general loses his will to live. His enemies however gain strength and courage striking the general down.

    Fear (on a enemy) + Marked for Death (enemy) + Courage (Ally)

     

    The Goddess’s Presence

    Just the mere presence of the Warrior goddess caused people to flee in terror, and others gain more courage and bravery. Her enemies should beware her terrible wraith and her allies should thank her for her help

    Call to Arms + Rout + Battle Fury + Barbaric Knowledge

     

    ---Role Play---

    The Warrior Goddess is a proud and stubborn she was originally worshipped by the Breton’s as the Goddess of War, Death and life. You will maintain this role as the goddess of Cycles if you will, she has a deep hatred for the Undead believing that only she can manipulate this scarred balance another words stomp out all forms of undead. She also has a hatred of Altmer and Imperials viewing them the downfall of her cults. Also show respect for scarred places and heal the tree in whiterun, viewing that the tree represents the World Tree. She is craving to be worshipped again and thus will be starting her own cult and reviving those her worships her. Do the Thieves guild questline to reclaim her title as the Raven Goddess, Companions questline for Lycanthropy and to help rid Skyrim of the monsters and evils. College quest line is optional I recommended joining just so you can get access to the vendors. A must do question line is the Dawnguard siding with the Dawnguard in order to destroy the vile vampires. Do the Dragonborn quest and black book quests, no one should try to challenge her and live to tell the tail. As well as the Main questline you can’t have someone destroying your world. Side with the Stormcloaks in the Civil war and do the foresworn conspiracy.

    • Main Quest line
    • Stormcloaks
    • Foresworn Conspiracy
    • Dragonborn
    • Companions
    • Thieves guilds
    • Pyrites Quest
    • Hircine Quest
