So it was suggested in the "Whales and Snakes" thread that a thread concerning http://www.gamesas.com/user/68597-malak-the-orc/new Trinimalarkay theory, which suggests that Trinimac and Malacath are equivalent to the god of life and death in other pantheons; namely Arkay, Orkey, and Tu'whacca. Here are the most important posts from that thread. This thread is to be used to discuss this theory.

So yeah, its a good theory. I am in particular interested in what Malak may suggest is the Khajiiti equivalent of Arkay (Riddle'Thar? ja-Kha'jay? Baan Dar?) I'm also interested in how Orkey might relate to Maloch in the Nordic pantheon. I'm also not so sure Arkay has a connection with the Thief, and even if he does, I'd still chock that particular detail to coincidence. You have four possible months that fall under the Thief, and sixteen princes. Chances are pretty good that Malacath's summoning day would fall under the Thief or his charges. But those are just my personal questions and concerns. All comments and concerns are go!

Malak, observer and observed, is great. You too Fiore, you're great too.

The Plane(t) Arkay is the Eye of Thief.

The Fourth Walking Way is by Death.

So it seems quite plausible that there's a strong link between Arkay and Thief. But remember the summoning day of Mephala is also in Frostfall, and Mephala is the god of six and murder, who brings Life and Death and enforces the cycle.

Another note is we cannot get past easily the connection between Trinimac and Tsun. But consider the fact that Tsun is actually in a state of "being dead". There seems to be some transference, from Tsun to Imperial Zenithar, and from Tsun to Orkey a foreign god.
