Ordinator ( Morrowind ) The Ordinators are a highly trained group of soldier guardsmen who work throughout the province of Morrowind . They are featured prominently in and play a large role in the events that unfold in the game . All Ordinators are equipped with an Ebony Mace , a full set of Indoril Armor , expensive pants , an Indoril belt , and a torch . History . It is known that at one point , the head of the Ordinators was Rangidil Ketil . Rangidil was born in 2E 803 , and died in 3E 195 , during the Siege of Abernanit . Organization . There are four orders of Ordinators . These are the Order of the Watch , the Order of War , the Order of the Inquisition , and the Order of Doctrine and Ordination . The Order of the Watch provides guard for temples and shrines . Elam Andas is their chief . The Order of War fights the enemies of the Temple ; most War Ordinators are stationed near Red Mountain . The Order of Doctrine and Ordination are militant scholars . The Order of the Inquisition identifies and suppresses heresy among priests and laymen . The chief Ordinator of Vvardenfell is Grandmaster Berel Sala who has an office in the Hall of Justice . The four orders report to the Alma Rula in Almalexia . Locations . Ordinators can be found in two main areas of Vvardenfell , in the Ghostgate , guarding the only entrance through the Ghostfence into the Red Mountain Region , and also in Vivec City , Vvardenfell ' s largest city . It is in Vivec that they are most numerous , patrolling all of the cantons , inside as well as outside . They also have their own barracks inside temple canton near the Palace of Vivec . They can also be seen guarding the Shrine of Vivec ' s Ashmask in Gnisis , and few guarding the city of Molag Mar . Armor . Ordinator ranks are strictly limited to Dunmer , and only those Dunmer who hail from within the province of Morrowind . Ordinators are easily recognizable by their unique Indoril Armor which are golden and heavily polished . The shoulder pieces possess large outward flourishes . Their masks are another unique trait , like the armor the Ordinator mask is gold in color and of a refined shape to resemble elven facial features . The mask is heavily plumed from the top of the skull to the back of the neck , the plume is also colored gold and seemingly also metallic . Ordinators will not hesitate to attack anyone else wearing it , as a crime of dishonor towards the Tribunal . Battle . Ordinators prove a difficult challenge on the battlefield , as their training and experience ensure their status as formidable foes . Despite this , a high - leveled Nerevarine is quite able to dispatch one or more Ordinators at a time . Once an ordinator has been attacked , they will all relentlessly become hostile towards the Nerevarine . This also goes for their high counterparts in Mournhold as well . Ordinators are typically at Level 20 . However , some can be found at other levels as well . Sub - branches of Ordinators . High Ordinators . High Ordinators are the senior ranking Ordinators that guard Morrowind ' s capital Mournhold . Their armor , shield and masks are very similar to their more common brethren , except for one characteristic ; theirs is a mixture of purple and silver . They retain the same haughty nature of the ordinators , and are more lethal in battle . Hands of Almalexia . The Hands of Almalexia are the personal guard of Almalexia herself . They are deemed among the best and very loyal , and are equipped with enchanted weapons and armor . When asked about this topic , Almalexia states that they are the most terrible mortal warriors in the world and should not be reckoned with . They are part of the high ordinators , and are similar in most aspects , except that their whole armor is enchanted . Ordinator Orders . There are four orders that the Ordinators belong to , five including the Hands of Almalexia .
