Furthermore, Boethiah doesn't appear in the Atmoran/Nordic pantheon, how it became associated with her is strange. It gets even weirder, it ends up in the hands of the Empire, specifically Titus Mede, who entrusts someone with using it to fight Naarifin the Thalmor General who led the assault on Cyrodil.. who is also a secret Boethiah worshipper? Which sorta suggests Boethiah wasn't happy with Naarifin? Anyway, it ends up pretty much back with its original wielder's body, that is Sivdur of the Dragon Cult.

The connections I can make are: The Dragons are allegedly from Akavir, perhaps they saw a Tsaesci katana. The Nords venerate Lorkhan/Shor, and Boethiah is basically Shor's biggest fanboy (the problem here is, the Dragon Cult nords evidently did not venerate Shor, but instead venerated Alduin?? perhaps some Dragons and Sivdur were sorta.. Padomaic dissidents?). Then you have that Boethiah probably likes the Empire (pro-Mundus) way more than the Thalmor (anti-Mundus). Its still.. very confusing. Any ideas as to what is going on with Goldbrand?
