Atmoran Amulet: Bear

thingiverse

I used Inkscape and GIMP to process the original image source (in-game symbol of the Atmoran Bear). Then, I modelled the pendant in Blender. The Bear is the totemic aspect of the Ancient Nord god Orkey, who seem to have taken up his worship during Aldmeri rule of Atmora. He combines aspects of Malacath and Arkay. According to Imperial scholars, the Nords believe they once lived as long as Elves until Orkey appeared; through heathen trickery, he fooled them into a bargain that "bound them to the count of winters", and the Nordic lifespan was reduced to six years due to Orkey's foul magic. Through unknown means, Shor showed up and removed the curse, throwing most of it onto the nearby Orcs.
