King Dead Wolf-Deer also known as Lord of the Wulf's Hart[UOL 1] and the Elder Lord of Teeth and Twenty Antlers[UOL 2] was a Bosmer who was transformed into a monster-mer in the fourth century of the First Era by the Wild Hunt.[1] The Wild Hunt transformation turned him into a monster that had wolf, deer, and even crocodilian traits.[2]
The Wild Hunt that Wolf-Deer was a part of came about during the reign of Skyrim High King Borgas, the last member of the Ysgramor Dynasty. Borgas was a staunch supporter of the Prophet Marukh but a conflict was growing between the Empire and the Camoran Dynasty. Borgas set off for Cyrodiil to urge a joint war with Skyrim against the Bosmer. Before he could get there however, he was slaughtered at the hands of King Dead Wolf-Deer.[1][3]
Dead Wolf-Deer later on in history was known to stalk the Lynpar March.[1] Sometime before his death in 3E 320, Emperor Uriel Septim VI and his half-sister Morihatha traversed the Lynpar March where they encountered the aggressive Dead Wolf-Deer who killed all of their royal escorts.[UOL 2]
After the cataclysms of the Nerevarine Prophecy circa 3E 427, some accounts spoke of a trial put on to judge Vivec of his potential crimes. These accounts claim Dead Wolf-Deer still lived and resided in High Rock and that Vivec had someone retrieve one of his antlers in order to summon Azura.[UOL 3]
NotesEdit
- The Ring of the Wild Hunt artifact is comprised of five pieces, one of these pieces, the Face of the Wolf Beast has been theorized to depict Dead Wolf-Deer.[2]
- One Nordic myth that speaks of the slaughter of Borgas by Dead Wolf's hands claims Dead Wolf killed Borgas with power shouts.[UOL 1]
