Ilunibi CavernsIlunibi CavernsAn old sea cave up on the north end of the → Gnaar Mok island, right on → Khartag Point.Sometimes smugglers and outlaws use it for a hide−out, but it's wet and nasty, and not realcomfortable.Ilunibi ShrineIlunibi shrine is just a small, quiet retreat for → Sixth House servants, a place to contemplate andgrow strong and wise in Lord → Dagoth's ways. Here we share the sacraments of flesh and blood,and dream the dreams of our Lord. This and other lesser shrines are hidden from prying eyesthroughout the land. But the greatest shrines of Sixth House servants lie beneath → Red Mountain,in the → citadels of our Lord and his close kin.<strong>Imperial</strong><strong>The</strong> <strong>Imperial</strong>s are the educated and well−spoken natives of the civilized, cosmopolitan province of→ Cyrodiil. <strong>Imperial</strong>s are known for their enlightened rule of → law and government, and thediscipline and training of their citizen armies. Though physically less imposing than the other →races, they are shrewd diplomats and → traders. <strong>The</strong>ir legions have enabled them to subdue all theother nations and races of Tamriel, and to have erected the monument to peace and prosperity thatcomprises the Glorious → Empire.<strong>Imperial</strong> BladesSee → Blades.<strong>Imperial</strong> Cult<strong>The</strong> <strong>Imperial</strong> cult is the official → <strong>Imperial</strong> religion. <strong>The</strong> cult worships the → Nine Divines: theAedra → Akatosh, → Dibella, → Arkay, → Zenithar, → Mara, → Stendarr, → Kynareth, and →Julianos, and → Tiber Septim, founder and patron of the → Empire. In → Morrowind, it's partlymaintaining the faith for → outlanders, and partly a missionary cult, bringing enlightment to theheathen → Dunmer. Though some Dunmer are <strong>Imperial</strong> cult initiates, most of these are alsonominal members of the → Tribunal Temple. Religious fervor is exceptional in the Empire,compared with Morrowind's more passionate Temple worshippers, and Dunmer who adopt the<strong>Imperial</strong> cult often share the moderation and religious tolerance of → <strong>Imperial</strong> culture. <strong>Imperial</strong>cult → priests serve <strong>Imperial</strong> → shrines in settlements throughout → Vvardenfell.Lit.: For my Gods and Emperor (TEST I 2 : 381).<strong>The</strong> services required at lower ranks in the <strong>Imperial</strong> cult are not very difficult or dangerous. But any task you dofor the Oracle, Lalatia Varian, will be very difficult, very dangerous, and suited only for experienced, powerful,well−equipped adventurers.110
