History

Legends hold that Vivec fought Mehrunes Dagon to protect the people of Maar gan.[1] Mehrunes was about to throw a large rock at the villagers, but Vivec taunted him, and he threw the rock at Vivec instead. Where the rock fell, the villagers built the Maar Gan Shrine.[2] It became known as the 'Magic Rock,' and is one of the sacred destinations the Tribunal Temple pilgrims visit.[3]
