Immersive Daedra Worship: Temple of Molag Bal 0.5 alpha

“Molag Bal, whose sphere is the domination and enslavement of mortals; whose desire is to harvest the souls of mortals and to bring mortals' souls within his sway by spreading seeds of strife and discord in the mortal realms.” – The Book of Daedra

“Molag Bal is… the King of Rape.” – The House of Troubles

Deep in the woods of Falkreath lies an ordinary, unassuming house that conceals a dark secret—a passage leading to an ancient daedric temple lost to the ages. Unlike the aloof Nine Divines, the Daedric Princes are more than willing to richly reward the mortals who serve their twisted ends. The only question is: what are you willing to do for a taste of true power?

It has always surprised me that there is little to nothing in the way of mods that allow you to become a proper Daedra worshipper. The Temple of Molag Bal (or ToMB) provides an opportunity to immersively worship Molag Bal in exchange for power. As a servant of the King of Rape and Lord of Domination, you will perform a forbidden ritual and commit unspeakable acts in a to please your malevolent master. Violate your victims over and over again until you crush their spirits. And when there is nothing left of your victims but a broken shell, sacrifice them and send their soul to Coldharbour, where their torment has only just begun. Molag Bal will bestow true power upon you.

How it works:

• The bookcase conceals an entrance to a cave that leads to the temple below. There is a button to activate it.

• You can make NPCs your prisoners and assign them to a cage in the right prison wing. (Note: this is buggy with non-unique NPCs.) You can assert some basic control over them (go to cage, follow, command). Sex and outfit management are still very WIP. I recommend The Manipulator for better control.

• The left prison wing has cells intended for Paradise Halls slaves. There is a patched script that *should* prevent jailed slaves from running, but it still needs more testing.

• When you enter the ritual chamber, you will receive the “Ritual of Molag Bal” power. Cast this to begin a new ritual. You will then receive another power to access the ritual menu, which will be removed when the ritual is concluded. The ritual power will also be removed when you leave the ritual chamber.

• With the ritual active, use the dialogue option to make a victim into a Bride of  Molag Bal. The first time you do this, the mod will calculate how much rape it will take to break her will and how many points you earn from doing so. It will also calculate how many points you get for sacrificing her.** (This can be recalculated with the menu power, but use with caution. It will be based on current values, so you may lose virginity points.)

• While a Bride, the ritual will track as a rape any SexLab animation that the actor participates in. This means that it is compatible with any method you choose to initiate sex (Defeat, Paradise Halls, SexLab Tools, etc.) 

• You can set a Bride as the Active Bride by telling her that it is her turn. This will let you view her stats in the ritual spell menu, and other functions still to be added.

• Once you have broken a Bride’s will, your score will be added to your total. You will not receive any further points from raping her until she recovers (about a week in-game). When you get enough ritual points, Molag Bal will reward you with a perk point. Extra points roll over.

• When you sacrifice a Bride, Molag Bal will also reward you with a portion of her lifeforce in the form of a permanent upgrade to either health, magicka, or stamina (chosen at random). You can sacrifice her however you choose, the mod simply tracks OnDeath on a Bride while the ritual is taking place.

• If you deflower a virgin Bride, she will bleed. You can collect the blood from her inventory and take it to the blood fountain, where it can be distilled into a potion or as an alchemical ingredient.

• Make a Bride fuck herself with a grand soulgem to turn it into a black soulgem. Can also ask female cultists to do the same.

• You can use the ritual menu power to toggle collision for the altar. This makes it easier to use table animations, especially if you hide the anim objects in MO2.

• Once the ritual is concluded, you will receive the Blessing of Molag Bal, the strength of which depends on how many Brides you broke during the ritual. This is equivalent to shrine blessing and independent of any other rewards.

• Brides’ point values will eventually decay as they lose hope from being broken too many times, at which point they are nothing but fodder to be sacrificed

Other features:

• Necromancy room (Currently just for roleplaying).

• Freezer chamber to preserve corpses left in there. It definitely works with unique actors. Iffy with non-unique.

• Bedroom with safe storage

• Beds for cultists you recruit

• Dining hall and crafting area

• Arena (I use this to train my magic/combat skills on my prisoners/slaves as living targets)

• Portal to cave near Winterhold

• Custom music with add-on

NOTE: Although years in the making, this is still very much a work in progress, and this is by far the largest mod project I’ve ever attempted. Don’t blame me if it breaks your game, and be sure to back your stuff up. Cultist functionality is still being implemented and most of it doesn’t work, although the outfit management seems to be working. Constructive criticism is appreciated. I will listen to feature requests, but my modding skills are still pretty amateurish.

Future plans include:

• MCM

• Additional rewards based on lifetime scores

• Quest to kidnap Keeper Carcette, destroy the Hall of the Vigilant, and blame it on the vampires

• Other kidnapping quests

• Automatically do and align table animations with the altar

• Ability to make prisoners/slaves fight in the arena for your amusement 

• More portals to hidden locations around Skyrim for easier victim transport

• Hostile sex magic, like forcing an opponent to stop combat and masturbate or something like Frenzy but that makes enemies try to rape each other

** These values are based on several factors, including whether the Bride is a unique actor, her level, her confidence, her morality, her SexLab purity (defiling a virgin gets a huge bonus!), whether she belongs to a faction hated by Molag Bal (Vigilants, Dawnguard). Please note that I am still working on balancing the scoring and reward system. There is a good chance that this will be too OP, especially if you aren’t using a perk overhaul mod.

Requirements

• SexLab

• ZaZ

• Leito SLAL animations (for the soulgem functionality)

Recommended Mods:

• Mods to make your NPCs pretty (Bijin, Ordinary Women, Pandorable, etc.)

• VNPC for other actors that NPC overhauls ignore (like Keeper Carcette)

• Defeat (This may become a hard requirement when specific kidnapping quests are implemented.)

• Paradise Halls (patch available to prevent jailed slaves from running)

• SexLab Tools

• LC Build Your Noble Home (Fun player home mod. The temple is conveniently located just outside the village you build.)

• A perk overhaul mod for the extra perks you earn

• Follower overhauls to control your cultists. My system is still in its infancy.
