"When the dreughs ruled the world, the Daedroth Prince Molag Bal had been their chief. He took a different shape then, spiny and armored and made for the sea. Vivec, in giving birth to the many spawn of his marriage, had dropped an old image of Molag Bal into the world: a dead carapace of memory." ~ 36 Lessons of Vivec: Sermon 28

"May the holder of the fourth key know the heart thereby: the Mundex Terrene was once ruled over solely by the tyrant dreugh-kings, each to their own dominion, and borderwars fought between their slave oceans. They were akin to the time-totems of old, yet evil, and full of mockery and profane powers. No one that lived did so outside of the sufferance of the dreughs.

I give my soul to the Magna Ge, sayeth the joyous in Paradise, for they created Mehrunes the Razor in secret, in the very bowels of Lyg, the domain of the Upstart who vanishes. Though they came from diverse waters, each Get shared sole purpose: to artifice a prince of good, spinning his likeness in random swath, and imbuing him with Oblivion's most precious and scarce asset: hope.

Deny not that these days shall come again, my novitiates! For as Mehrunes threw down Lyg and cracked his face, declaring each of the nineteen and nine and nine oceans Free, so shall he crack the serpent crown of the Cyrodiils and make federation!

All will change in these days as it was changed in those, for with by the magic word Nu-Mantia a great rebellion rose up and pulled down the towers of CHIM-EL GHARJYG, and the templars of the Upstart were slaughtered, and blood fell like dew from the upper wards down to the lowest pits, where the slaves with maniacal faces took chains and teeth to their jailers and all hope was brush-fire.

Suns were riven as your red legions moved from Lyg to the hinterlands of chill, a legion for each Get, and Kuri was thrown down and Djaf was thrown down and Horma-Gile was crushed with coldsalt and forevermore called Hor and so shall it be again under the time of Gates.

Under the mires, Malbioge was thrown down, that old City of Chains, slaked in newbone-warmth and set Free. Galg and Mor-Galg were thrown down together in a single night of day and shall it be again under the time of Gates. ~ Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes Book 4


 * Mundex Terrene = Mundus
 * Magna Ge = Spirits who fled creation along with Magnus
 * Lyg (the domain of the upstart who vanishes) = Nirn (the domain of Lorkhan who is considered "missing")
 * Hiterlands of chill = Coldharbor
 * Kuri, Djaf, Horma-Gile, Malbioge, Glag, and Mor-Galg = cities in Coldharbor.

According to Mankar, and backed up partially by Vivec, Mehrunes Dagon was created back during a time when the Dreugh ruled the entire world, with Molag Bal, in fish form, as their king.

The Mange-Ge, the spirits who fled creation with Magnus, made Mehrunes Dagon to overthrow the dreugh.

Dagon, after freeing the peoples of Nirn, took his armies into Coldharbor and destoryed many of Molag Bal's citites in return.

Hence how the Daedric Lord of Revolution, Mehrunes Dagon, was made to defeat the Daedric lord of Domination, Molag Bal
