Lore:Penitent

Altmeri Shrine depicting Penitent

The Penitent, the Blade of Courage (also named Vosh Rakh in Orcish), is the legendary blade of Trinimac used in ancient times. Statues depicting Trinimac often show him holding his sword, and worshipers of the god swear by it for aid. Priests of Trinimac consider themselves blessed by the holy sword Penitent, and that his blessing is his sword and shield being at one's side to protect them. The Vosh Rakh, an Orcish extremist faction, named themselves after the blade's Orcish name as they considered themselves a manifestation of it to "cut a path through stifling traditions", with some members bearing the rank "penitent". The name of the sword is often used as a possessive adjective in regards to worship of Trinimac. Malacath also wields a greatsword, but it is unknown if there is any connection.
