Yes they were indeed married.. It was stated in a book series, Sermons of Vivec iirc. Apparently Nerevar was only one of her many husbands. — Unsigned comment by 75.90.128.170 (talk) at 03:55 on 21 December 2007

The TribunalEdit

Considering that Almalexia's background as a member of the Tribunal is much the same to Vivec's, would it be satisfactory to expand her article based upon the Vivec article, which has proven to be one of great quality? --OblivionDuruza 05:13, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

That's certainly a valid point. Although my expertise of Lore lies, as far as the Tribunal goes, with Sotha Sil (my strong point in Lore is Elven and Psijic history), I'd be willing to tackle Almalexia. Though there's slightly less info (e.g. only the 2920 series for books, and less dialogue since all she tries to do is kill you) an expansion is certainly nowhere near impossible or improbable.--Kalis Agea^{Yes?

I can have a crack at Almalexia, just wondering if there would be merit in working off of the Vivec article, as it does detail the 'progression' of the Tribunal, with a focus on Vivec.--OblivionDuruza 13:46, 29 October 2011 (UTC)

Alright, sounds good. :) Good luck with the article.--Kalis Agea^{Yes? Contrib E-mail} 05:49, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, reassessing my real life commitments, I probably wont be able to do a great deal for a month or so, but after exams and all that jazz, I've got a month and a half free, so I'll look at giving Almalexia a bit of a facelift then. --OblivionDuruza 11:28, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

Tribune vs. TriuneEdit

Hello, this is in relation to revision 1385756 by Jeancey, which reverts my changes (Triune -> Tribune)

Based on a quick dictionary search:

• Tribune - a person who upholds or defends the rights of the people.
• Triune - three in one; constituting a trinity in unity, as the Godhead.

Consider the fact that the Tribunal are three distinct and separate entities; they are not a three-in-one like the Catholic Trinity but more like one-team-of-three-individuals. I also believe the definition of a Tribune to be more fitting given the roles they have assumed in Dunmer culture.

Lastly, a quick text search on the pages of Almalexia's fellows, Vivec and Sotha Sil, reveals that, while "Tribune" has been used to refer to any one member of the Tribunal gods, "Triune" has not been in use at all.

I'd be happy to hear your reasons, though, on why "Triune" is the correct term to be used. Otherwise, I'll revert said revision (which is also a revert) and replace "Triune" with "Tribune" probably within the day. Salamangkero (talk) 09:05, 29 August 2014 (GMT)

I'm not strongly for or against, but just to note that the term "Triune" has been used in a few in-game books when referring to one of the three: Lore:The Consolations of Prayer, Lore:The Anticipations, Lore:Vivec and Mephala, Lore:The True Noble's Code and the Lessons. --Jimeee (talk) 12:55, 29 August 2014 (GMT)

In all of those texts, I see "triune" being used descriptively, rather than as a title ("the Triune Ancestors", "the triune ALMSIVI", "the triune virtues", i.e. in the correct sense, referring to ALMSIVI being three-in-one). However, we see "tribune" being used far more often, in the same context as it is used on this article (Lore:Vivec and Mephala again, as well as the PGE1, Vivec's own notes, and Dragonborn's Lore:The Reclamations). "Tribune" is clearly the correct word to use, even if both make sense in English. —Legoless (talk) 14:44, 29 August 2014 (GMT)

Yeah, I also understand triune to be more common as an adjective than a noun, and even when it is a noun it's a collective one, not singular. Tribune is both more common and more correct here. -- Hargrimm^(T) 15:54, 29 August 2014 (GMT)

I reverted it mainly because I have seen it reverted before, and I believe that the reasoning was what Jimeee stated. I'm fine if it is changed, I hadn't realized it was used more as an adjective. Jeancey (talk) 23:28, 29 August 2014 (GMT)

Oks, noted. Applied triune -> tribune again. Salamangkero (talk) 07:15, 30 August 2014 (GMT)
