Worship of Aedra such as Akatosh, disappeared from their legends. They credited the Good Daedra with teaching them the principles of their new way of life. Vivec: "Making sure the other dies before you." Malacath himself derided this narrative as being too "literal-minded" (implying the essence of the story, while metaphorical, is somewhat accurate). Altmeri propaganda portrayed this as a lesson on the dangers of Velothi influence, while Velothi propaganda regarded Trinimac's transformation as punishment for attempting to interfere with their exodus. Boethiah and Mephala told the masses about the Tri-Angled Truth, the rules of Psijic Endeavor, how to build Houses, and demonstrated the "right way to wear their skin". the followers of Veloth) who became the Chimer. The followers of Boethiah and Trinimac rubbed this excrement on themselves to change their skins. He tricked Trinimac, ate him, assumed his form, and the dung he excreted became Malacath. Boethiah, the "Devourer of Trinimac", took exception to the "lies" Trinimac had been spreading about Lorkhan. As such, Trinimac and his followers became engaged in trying to halt the Velothi dissident movement. Trinimac, strongest of the Altmeri ancestor spirits, fought enemies of Altmeri society both without and within. One source says it took place before the shattering of Lorkhan, and another says that it was after Topal the Pilot and others had explored mainland Tamriel. Some say it took place in the Late Middle Merethic Era, and others trace it back to the Dawn Era. Some sources seem to differ on when exactly this happened. The history of the Chimer begins with the Velothi dissident movement in the Summerset Isle. Almalexia of the Tribunal apparently maintained her appearance as a Chimer (as did Vivec, partially) despite the Curse which changed the Chimer into the Dunmer. They appeared like other elves, but their skin was a darker shade of pale gold than the Altmer. They were dynamic, ambitious, long-lived Elven clans devoted to fundamentalist ancestor worship. The teachings of Veloth and the Daedra spawned a new culture on Tamriel and a new people, sparking the period of the High Velothi culture. They followed the prophet Veloth, who spoke to them on behalf of Boethiah, Prince of Plots, and two other "Good Daedra". The Chimer (literally, the People of the North), also called the Changed Folk, Velothi, Changed Ones, or the archaic Maliache were the Aldmeri tribes of dissidents who abandoned the ways of Summerset Isle and embarked on a great exodus to Morrowind. It was easy then for his new people to become the Changed Ones." - The Changed Ones Then Boethiah relieved himself of Trinimac right there on the ground before them to prove all the things he said were the truth. He performed the way to walk to achieve an Exodus. He demonstrated the right way to wear their skin. He taught them how to build Houses, and what items they needed to bury in the Corners. He showed them, with Mephala, the rules of Psijic Endeavor. A Chimer legate (ESO) " Boethiah showed them the lies of the et'Ada, the Aedra, and told them Trinimac was the biggest liar of all, saying all this with Trinimac's voice!
