I have been asked to write this guidebook for outsiders who are unfamiliar with
the Tribunal Temple, and interested in joining.
All those who are earnest, and who are willing to submit to the wisdom of Blessed
Almsivi, Triune Grace, the saints, and the priests, are welcome to the Fellowship
of the Tribunal Temple. The Temple is the religion of Morrowind and Dunmer people,
and has been for generation upon generation. With guidance and counsel of Almalexia,
Vivec, and Sotha Sil, the Anticipations, and all the hosts of saints of ancestors,
the Temple guards and protects the lands and peoples of Morrowind.
Those who follow the Tribunal must have the Personality to lead others and the
Willpower to resist the world's temptations. When violence is needful, we fight
with staves and hammers, armored only in our faith. We study Restoration and
Alchemy to heal the people, and Mysticism to learn more of the divine. We must
also study Conjuration to speak with the spirits of our ancestors and protect
against those who traffic with the Four Corners.
Those interested in joining the Tribunal Temple should speak to priests at the
temples in Ald'ruhn, Balmora, Molag Mar, and Ghostgate, or with priests at the
High Fane in the Temple Compound in Vivec.
Articles of Faith
The Temple believes that Almalexia, Vivec, and Sotha Sil were mortal guardians
of Morrowind who walked the earth, defeated the Dunmer's greatest enemies, the
Nords and the Dwarves, and achieved divine substance through superhuman discipline
and virtue and supernatural wisdom and insight. Like loving ancestors, they
guard and counsel their followers. Like stern parents, they punish sin and error.
Like generous relatives, they share their bounty among the greatest and least,
according to their needs.
Duties of the Faithful
Your fourfold duties are to: Faith, Family, Masters, and all that is good. Perform
holy quests and bring luster to the Temple. Never transgress against your brothers
or sisters, and never dishonor your house or your ancestors. Serve and protect
the poor and weak, and honor your elders and clan.
For those who would be wise, these sacred books will be of interest.
