Lore:Cross
The cross is a symbol depicting two intersecting lines, associated with various faiths and used in torture.[1][2] Crossing ones heart is declaration of honesty.[3][4] The cross is sometimes used as a symbol of Meridia. The Toxicruciform is a curio associated with Peryite, found in the form of a cross.[5] Tombstones are sometimes carved into the shape of a cross. During the Imperial Simulacrum, monks, priests, and friars all throughout Tamriel were known to wear golden crosses.[1]
Some unfortunate victims in the Iliac Bay region may be executed via crucifixion on a wooden cross.[6] Circa 2E 582 members of the Fighters Guild fell under the control of a unique Spider Daedra in a cave in Glenumbra; those that weren't controlled were captured and strung up on wooden crosses with web.[7]
A variation of the cross that includes two additional diagonal lines is sometimes used.[8] This design was utilized by Daedric cultists to create iron torture devices.[2][9]
