Aranea Ienith

Perhaps that is what you are meant to believe. To better serve your role as Azura's champion.

Do not fight it. Azura's prophecies always come to pass. To deny them is to go headlong into the darkness with no light to guide you.

Yes. There were others at first, but Azura's visions tested everyone's faith. One by one, they left. Afraid to know their own future.

But I refuse to abandon the shrine. The visions are a gift. Azura warns me of tragedy, war, death before it happens. I won't leave her guidance.

My people, the Dunmer, built it. We fled from Morrowind after Vvardenfell erupted almost 200 years ago.

Those of us who were faithful to Azura were given a vision that led us away from the island before the worst came.

This shrine is our thanks to her. That none will forget that she watches over us all.

She is the Goddess of Dawn and Dusk. Azura sees into the Twilight of the future, and guides her followers through it.

No. She said my part was over. That my fate had moved beyond the Twilight, and I was on my own.

I will tend Azura's shrine when you do not need me. I still have my duties, but for the first time I feel... alone.

I was a sorceress of no small skill before I came into Azura's faith. Afterwards, her magic sustained me.

I could easily provide my spells to your cause. Protect you from harm. Defeat your enemies.

Twilight watch over you, guardian.

You must go to a fortress, endangered by water, yet untouched by it.

Inside, you will find an elven mage who can turn the brightest star as black as night.

It is cryptic, I know, but Azura's signs are never wrong. I believe the fortress may refer to Winterhold. Ask if they know this elven enchanter.

Azura has given me the gift of foresight. I had a vision of you walking up the steps to this altar long before you were born.

You have been chosen to be her champion. I know it is unexpected, but do not worry. It will all unfold as she has predicted.

I will commune with Azura.
