Malacath is the Daedric Prince of the outcast. He is the "patron saint" of those that have been persecuted and ostracized, specifically the much understood Orc race. His supposed origin fits his sphere, allegedly being born from the excrement of Boethiah after eating Trinimac. He is a prime embodiment of power, as are the might race that seems to be modeled after him. Malacath's most well-known Daedric artifact is Volendrung, a large warhammer that absorbs fifty points of stamina from the enemy.
This quest is started by encountering the Orc encampment of Largashbur. Help the inhabitants fend off the giant attacking the tribe and speak with Atub. She will require you to bring a daedra heart and troll fat to her in order to contact Malacath. Upon your return with these items, she will gather with you and Chief Lamarz for the ritual. The Contact with the Daedric Prince is successful, but he sounds less than thrilled to find that the chief allowed giants to defile his shrine in Giant's Grove and has set a curse upon the entire tribe. He tasks Yamarz to kill the leader and return his club as an offering. Yamarz will complain and demand that you accompany him to eliminate the threat, offering you a large sum of gold for a reward.
Travel to the grove by going through Fallowstone Cave and battling a few bears or trolls. Once the giant's leader is in sight, Yamarz will attempt to strike a deal with you; kill the giant yourself and he'll up the reward. If you choose to do this, then Yamarz will let you in on a secret when you return to him. The chief is planning to kill you and take credit for the entire ordeal to regain his honor. Kill him and Malacath will give you praise for taking care of the weakling. Return the leader's warhammer to the shrine at the encampment and place it in the antlers of the deer skull, where Malacath will transform it into Volendrung.
(Note: You may also try to persuade Yamarz to fight the beast, but he will die very quickly leaving you to fight the giant alone.)
