General Malgoth was a Bosmer who led the Blackroot Clan in an effort to unite all of Valenwood under his leadership.[1][2] Malgoth had traveled far and wide throughout Tamriel and seen the greatness that came to those who conquered through military might, a status that he strove for.[1] Malgoth and his armies eventually set eyes on the city of Vullain with the intention to make an example of them to the other villages, with the goal of uniting the Bosmer people to strengthen them against their enemies, the neighboring Khajiit.[2]
Reports found their way to the inhabitants of Vullain that Malgoth intended to march on Vullain. With no way to match the military might of Blackroot Clan, the villagers turned to the local nature guardians the Nereid.[3] Knowing that Malgoth and his clan would adhere to the Meat Mandate, the villagers had the Nereid poison their bodies which would in turn result in their soon to be consumed corpses to be tainted.[3]
As expected Malgoth and his army easily defeated the citizens of Vullain and consumed their remains per the Meat Mandate. Eventually realizing the trap they had fallen into, Malgoth himself pleaded with the Nereids for a cure to the poison, but they refused him.[2] Malgoth and his Blackroot Clan were defeated thanks to the sacrifice of the Vullain citizens.[1] Because of this mockery of the Meat Mandate Malgoth and his people became bound to the Ooze.[4]
During the Interregnum in 2E 582, the site of Dread Vullain would be visited by the Veiled Heritance. The Shade of Naemon had resurrected the Blackroot Clan, having them serve the Shade through the Rite of Theft. The Shade had stolen General Malgoth's bow, which led to their position in Dread Vullain. An Agent of the Aldmeri Dominion, along with the mage, Indaenir would traverse Dread Vullain and uncover the mystery surrounding the site. Once the two found Malgoth's remains, they were brought to the Shadow Wood, a corrupted form of Valenwood created by the Shade of Naemon. It was here, the two acquired the bow of Malgoth. The Agent had invoked the Rite of Theft and so Malgoth's forces were at the Aldmeri Dominion's command. Whether they were used in the battle against Naemon, or if they were released is unknown, regardless, Dread Vullain was liberated from Naemon.[5]
