So... So... A Molag Bal branded bed.

I might get moderated for this? But I'm repeating hard lore that you can find in the game, in other ES games, and on the wiki with just a little effort. Molag Bal is the King of [snip]. He has [snip] multiple characters in the canon, most famously when he made the original vampire, Lamae Beolfag.

And now his cult has released this beautiful new bed for you to... Well, this is awkward.


I kind of understand how we got here. Maybe you just forgot the lore! Or, it's a new zone, it's exciting to be fighting old enemies, we already have Deadlands furniture for Dagon, who's the god of just destroying the whole world. But it's not as value neutral as generic world destruction. It's accurate to describe it as a [snip] styled bed - a name for Bal you can find, again, in game - and that's weird and uncomfortable and like 60 furnishings in this update were released like this. The [snip] branded furniture -- now a global name in mattresses!

Can we get a name change? Maybe to like... Vampiric? Please. A simple name change would make this a million times less disturbing.

It's called "Worm Cult Bed, Canopy Full"...? It's Worm Cult styled. The Worm Cult follows Mannimarco (The King of Worms), not Molag Bal, and Mannimarco is an ambitious necromancer, not an assaulter.

Edit: Okay, to be specific, the Worm Cult do seem to praise Molag Bal in some of their ambient dialogue (I read the UESP page after posting this), but the Worm Cult is still Mannimarco's crew. Doesn't mean they're all in it for the reason you're describing. It does have a skull on it (Mannimarco's symbol) as opposed to Molag Bal's head (Molag Bal's symbol), after all.

Also wanted to say it's a worm cult but even if it had some molag imagery or reference by name, it's just a bed, a place for sleep. It's not that deep or offensive.

Poor Worm Cultist. Not allowed to sleep in anything but an iron maiden…

To me it doesn't look Daedric or Coldharbor-related at all, so it didn't make me think of Molag Bal. From my point of view it's basically just sinister kitsch for mortals (since for some reason, practitioners of necromancy all need to enjoy staring at skulls 24/7 in Tamriel) - not meant negatively, I actually like what I've seen of the Wormcult furnishings so far (although we could debate how much sense it makes for a forbidden cult to have their own furniture).

I'm more concerned we can directly tell depressed Darien to go jump into a Soul Reaper. But that's a different topic.
