Archcanon Tarvus Interview Content . This month ' s Tribunal Temple Profile shines a bright light on our own high priest in the service of Lord Vivec — Archcanon Tarvus ! Yours truly , Seventy - sixth Adjuvant Drumara , sat down to interview the busy cleric in his well - appointed office in the Hall of Wisdom , in the canton directly across from Vivec ' s Palace in Vivec City . Adjuvant Drumara : Thank you for agreeing to talk with me , Archcanon . The faithful who regularly read our weekly missives have been asking to learn more about the Dunmer who keeps the Temple and the city running smoothly . Archcanon Tarvus : Lord Vivec and the Tribunal keep the wheels turning . I am merely their servant . Adjuvant Drumara : Modest , as always ! How did you find your way to a life of religious service ? Archcanon Tarvus : I grew up in House Indoril , so while a role in the Temple wasn ' t guaranteed , it was certainly strongly encouraged . I found that the words of the Warrior - Poet moved me , and I quickly gravitated toward serving Lord Vivec . Here ' s a secret few people know — I almost dedicated myself to the Buoyant Armigers . The call to adventure appealed to my younger self , and I even fancied myself something of a poet . Lord Vivec , however , had other plans for me . Adjuvant Drumara : So it ' s true that Lord Vivec himself recruited you into his priesthood ? Archcanon Tarvus : Let ' s not make the story more significant than the reality . I was a young acolyte , training for a life of service in the Temple . When the time came to choose a path , Lord Vivec talked to me and suggested I would do better in the priesthood than as a swashbuckling Armiger or a militaristic Ordinator . I meditated on my choice and discovered , deep in my heart , that I agreed with him . Adjuvant Drumara : And then you demonstrated a real talent for both spiritual and administrative labors , rising to become the youngest canon ever to attain the rank of archcanon ? Archcanon Tarvus : Young ? I suppose so . But that was so long ago . I worked hard , constantly demonstrating my devotion to Vivec , the Three , and the people of Morrowind . That Lord Vivec saw fit to reward me with this honor and this responsibility , well , you ' d have to ask him why I of all the canons was ultimately selected to replace my predecessor . I am just grateful for the opportunity to help my Lord and serve my Temple . Adjuvant Drumara : Your sermons on the dangers of outlanders in Vvardenfell can be quite stirring . Do you think our land really faces a threat from those who come with different cultures and beliefs ? Archcanon Tarvus : For a minor priest and functionary , you tend to ask leading questions . My views on outlanders , however , are quite well known and completely consistent . No one other than the Dark Elves can claim such a unique relationship as we have with our Living Gods . That gives us a perspective and outlook on life that is , in fact , superior to every other culture in Tamriel . We are stronger when we are pure , when our culture isn ' t polluted by the thoughts and ideas of the lesser peoples . But other than that , I have nothing against the occasional outlander visiting our fair and beautiful island of Vvardenfell . " To challenge the strange allows us to know our strength , " as the Warrior - Poet has written . Adjuvant Drumara : One of your closest aides , Canon Llevule Andrano , has been quoted as saying that you " carry the burden of Lord Vivec and the entire palace atop your shoulders . " Do you agree with his assessment ? Archcanon Tarvus : Is it a burden to serve the Warrior - Poet ? Is it an obligation to make sure the business of the palace and the Temple and the city progresses smoothly and without stumble ? I do what I do for my love of the Tribunal and its people . That is not a burden , Adjuvant Drumara , that is a rare and singular privilege ! I do my best to instill that same attitude in all of the priests that serve under my administration . You would do well to remember that , as I am quite certain you fit into that category . Adjuvant Drumara : Of course , Archcanon Tarvus . I simply asked so that I could quote you accurately . May I ask one more question before we conclude this interview ? Archcanon Tarvus : If you must . Adjuvant Drumara : How is the work on Vivec City coming along ? Archcanon Tarvus : Construction on Lord Vivec ' s metropolis proceeds just as the Warrior - Poet has commanded . The cantons take shape like islands in the bay . The ziggurats rise as though to touch Baar Dau itself . It is already a masterpiece , and it is not yet nearly half done ! Vivec City is already the envy of every other nation in Tamriel . Imagine the accolades we shall receive as it nears completion ! Now , if we ' re done here , I have the business of Lord Vivec to get back to .
