Ruinach

Ruinachs are a brutish race of four-armed Daedra that serve as Mehrunes Dagon's elite marauders. Historians and mages believe they were grown from Mehrunes Dagon's flesh after his battle against Almalexia in Mournhold. The Ruinachs believe this story wholeheartedly, and refer to themselves as "Dagon's Fifth Hand".

They are fanatic followers of their lord and believe themselves an extension of his will. Ruinachs have been sighted around Blackwood and the accessible areas of the Deadlands.

Notes

• In the book The Truth in Sequence: Volume 8, beings matching their believed origin are refered to as "Sarmissonays'um ghoul-things".
• They were named "Harbingers" internally and had their models added to the game in Patch 6.2.0. In ESO Live's timeline of future events to expect regarding information of the chapter, their name is spelled "Ruinoch".
• A preview of their High quality models can be found at Chris Sulzbach's ArtStation.
• Massive Ruinachs can be seen in the background of the Atoll of Immolation and Doomchar Plateau, walking along the lava. Some can also be seen fighting against similarly massive harvesters.
