Muatra

, meaning Milk-Taker, is either a metaphorical or legitament spear wielded by the god-king Vivec. The spear is a physical representation of Vivec's love in which was "shaped like a spear". Vivec had supposedly made the spear from his own love and turned the spear into a deadly weapon by utilizing a secret he had learned from Molag Bal while they were married. After attacking Molag Bal, Vivec utilized his new spear to kill all the thousands of offspring he had birthed with his then spouse, turning them into barren and withered bone-shapes.

The Eight Monsters
After killing the offspring Vivec had with Molag Bal he had learned that Nine monsters had escaped Muatra. Though one of the monsters he had already defeated with his decision to create the "Book of Hours", Vivec needed to hunt down eight monsters with Muatra, who lived in the "middle world".

It should be noted that most of these fights aren't supposed to be taken completely literally, and many of them may not have actually even happened.

Moon Axle
Moon Axle was the First monster to come from the Muatra, and was said to be born twice. Do to his dualism, Moon Axle was immune to spears. In order to kill him, Vivec struck him with a curved sword and wrapped him with the rounded souls of nix hounds he found in a canyon; this made Moon Axle unable to move and rendered his immunity to spears useless. Without his immunity, Vivec pierced Moon Axle with Muatra, which made him completely static and in turn shattered him.

The Treasure Wood Sword
The Treasure Wood Sword, which bares some relation to the Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora, was not as much of a monster as it was a sword. Vivec appears to have been given the sword by the Morag Tong, possibly after the Morag Tong began worshiping Vivec instead of Mephala.

Horde Mountain
Horde Mountain was a large, conical shaped being formed from modular patterns of warriors being stacked upon each other, and was the third monster to escape Muatra. Before Vivec actually fought the monster, the armies of three lower houses had trapped the mountain in a net made of doubtful-doctrine. After celebrating the three houses, Vivec killed Horde Mountain by piercing it with Muatra. The bones of the Horde Mountain became the foundation stones for the city of Vivec.

The Pocket Cabal
The Pocket Cabal was the fourth monster to escape Muatra, and hid itself within the spell-list of a great Chimeri wizard. Vivec disguised himself as a traveler and Muatra as a dwarf, but after a year or two of concealment the Pocket Cabal discovered Vivec and confronted him, leading to Vivec stabbing the Pocket Cabal with Muatra. After Vivec killed the monster, Sotha Sil, who was perplexed by the Cabal, took the monster to study it.

Ruddy Man
The Ruddy Man was the fifth monster to escape Muatra, and the ancient god of the Dreugh people; he is considered to be the least complicated monster to escape Muatra. Vivec first fought the Ruddy Man at Koal Cave, where Vivec slew him and gave the Ruddy Man's shell to the queen of the Dreughs. In ten years, the Ruddy Man was rised again near Tear and was slayed once more by Vivec.

City-Face
City-Face was the sixth monster to escape Vivec's spear and, as the name specifies, had a city for a face. City-Face attempted to replace Vivec's city but before he could do so, Vivec killed him with the ethos knife.

Lie Rock
Lie Rock (Baar Dau), was the seventh monster to escape Muatra, and was born through Vivec's Second Aperture. Lie Rock was a massive moonlet that attempted to learn divinity from the a being known as the "Void Ghost" (most likely Sithis). Vivec sent Nerevar to kill the Lie Rock but was distracted by the Void Ghost, allowing Lie Rock to launch an attack on Vivec City. As it looked like Lie Rock was about to destroy the city, Vivec merely rose his hand freezing Lie Rock above the city and then proceded to pierce him with Muatra. Vivec decided to keep the Rock above his city so that if his peoples love ever failed him the rock would fall and destroy them all.

GULGA MOR JIL
GULGA MOR JIL was the eighth and strongest of the monsters to escape Muatra but acted much less belligerent than the others. When Vivec went to kill him, GULGA MOR JIL only sadly asked why he must die and return to Oblivion. Vivec told him that it was his nature to be in Oblivion, but this did not satisfy GULGA MOR JIL, so Vivec spoke to him saying;


 * "The fire is mine: let it consume thee,
 * And make a secret door
 * At the altar of Padhome,
 * In the House of Boet-hi-Ah
 * Where we become safe
 * And looked after."

With these words, GULGA MOR JIL accepted his death and Vivec pierced him with Muatra. His bones became the foundation to the city of Narsis.
