For my Gods and Emperor Locations . Moonmoth Legion Fort Interior , on Crulius Pontanian ' s desk Contents . What is the Imperial Cult ? The missionary arm of the great faiths , the Imperial cult brings divine inspiration and consolation to the Empire ' s remote provinces . The cults combine the worship of the Nine Divines , the Aedra Akatosh , Dibella , Arkay , Zenithar , Mara , Stendarr , Kynareth , and Julianos , and the Talos cult , veneration of the divine god - hero Tiber Septim , founder and patron of the Empire . Imperial cult priests provide worship and services for all these gods at Imperial shrines in settlements throughout Vvardenfell . What is the Virtuous Life ? Our doctrines are simple . We acknowledge the divinity of the Nine Divines : Akatosh , Dibella , Arkay , Zenithar , Mara , Stendarr , Kynareth , Julianos , and Tiber Septim . We preach the Nine Virtues : Humility , Inspiration , Piety , Work , Compassion , Justice , Ambition , Learning , and Civility . Our Emperor is the Defender of the Faith , and the Empire is the worldly working of the Divine Plan . We pledge aid and comfort to all citizens in need , and serve the Emperor and Empire at his will . The Imperial cults look to the Nine Divines as models for living a good and virtuous life . Each of the Nine represents different aspects of life , and how it should be lived . But the simplest statement of our doctrines is - - help and protect one another . The stronger one is , the wealthier one is , the more one bears responsibility for helping and protecting others . One ' s first duty , of course , is to one ' s fellow members of the Imperial Cult . But after that , one should help and protect any needy persons . We also say , " do not harm one another . " It is forbidden to attack another person of the Imperial cult , and of course , forbidden to kill another member . It is forbidden to steal from another member , whether by open theft or by covert pickpocketing . It is forbidden to trespass upon the private property of another member . Break any one of these rules , and be expelled from the cult . How can I join the Imperial cult ? The Imperial cult accepts all citizens of good character and earnest faith . We ask only a one - time pledge of 50 drakes to aid us in our good works . Thereafter , the only cost of membership comes when you use our health , healing , and blessing shrines - - modest fees which help us spread the blessings of the Nine to those less fortunate than ourselves .

Only the most distinguished are worthy of advancement to the higher ranks in the Imperial cults .

Respect the magical arts , especially the colleges of Restoration , Mysticism , and Conjuration .

Opportunities for service Lay healers gather ingredients for health and healing potions , and minister to the sick and hurt in poor and isolated communities . It is difficult and sometimes dangerous work , but the spiritual rewards are great . Lay healers need only the skills of the prudent traveler , being often on the road and in the wilderness , gathering herbs and potion components . They should avoid trouble where possible , and so need not be masters of the arts of war . Those interested should speak to Synnolian Tunifus at the Imperial Chapels in Ebonheart .

Oracle ' s Quests are the most demanding of all Imperial cult missions .

How do the Imperial cults view the other factions of Vvardenfell ? The Imperial cults have a very close relationship with the Imperial legions , and a friendly and supportive relationship with the Imperial Guilds - - especially the Fighters and Mages Guilds . We also have a friendly and supportive relationship with House Hlaalu , which strongly supports the Emperor and Imperial principles . Though we cannot condone the actions of the Thieves Guild , we praise their faithful dedication to the Emperor and to Imperial culture . The Imperial cults have the greatest respect for the high moral principles of House Redoran and the Morag Tong , and honors their different but noble conceptions of Divine Inspiration . We disapprove of the primitive heathen beliefs of the Ashlanders , and of the impious and inhumane practices of the Telvanni . The Imperial cult especially disapproves of the practice of slavery , and looks forward to the day when slavery is illegal in all Imperial provinces . The Imperial cult also disapproves of the lawless and greedy Camonna Tong , and their ruthless exploitation of the poor and weak . Historically , our relationship with the Tribunal Temple is difficult and unfriendly . Though the Imperial cults acknowledges the lords and saints of the Temple pantheon as worthy inspirations , the Temple falsely insists that theirs is the One True Faith , and that the Imperial cults worship false gods .
