Goris the Maggot King was a Dunmer necromancer operating on the island of Vvardenfell in the late Third Era. He appeared to be brutish, being responsible for summoning many undead and sending them to extinguish his perceived adversaries to whom he simply owed payment.[1][2] At some point he came into possession of the Bow of Shadows, an artifact of Nocturnal which has historically been in Dunmer hands; notably, the infamous assassin Dram once possessed the Bow.[3] Circa 3E 427, the Nerevarine plundered Goris' base of operations in Venim Ancestral Tomb in pursuit of the Bow. It is believed Goris did not survive the encounter.[4][5]
Notes[edit]
- In addition to his necromantic capabilities, Goris was versed in Bretonic magic as well.[6]
- He has a very similar title to fellow necromancer, Mannimarco the King of Worms.[7]
