The Twin Lamps is not really a "faction" in its own right, but rather an alliance of individuals with a common belief in one particular ideal: slavery is wrong and must be abolished. While this is a small group of individuals, they are spread out across Vvardenfell and some of them are powerful and well connected. One might think that the Twin Lamps might not make much headway among the Dunmer. After all, the Dunmer have kept slaves for centuries and are generally a xenophobic people. They see the abolitionist campaign as a sign of the hated Imperial influence. However, there is precedent for anti-slavery campaigners among the Dunmer. An ancient faction of "good thieves," the Bal Molagmer, opposed slavery. It is said that the Imperial-run Thieves Guild has ambitions towards re-establishing this organization.

The leader of the Twin Lamps is herself a Dunmer, and a highly important one at that: Ilmeni Dren, a highly-placed member of House Hlaalu, and the daughter of the current Duke Vedam Dren. (Her uncle Orvas Dren is the head of the Camonna Tong, and runs Dren Plantation, which employs the largest number of slaves in Vvardenfell. Understandably, they are not very close.) Ilmeni, amazingly enough, chooses to live in a commoner's apartment in Vivec's St. Delyn Canton rather than in a palace which is her birthright. Vedam does not entirely approve of his daughter's activities, but does nothing to stop them. He also disapproves of his brother's slavery, murder, and extortion racket under the Camonna Tong, but does little enough to interfere with them either.

Another prominent (though unofficial) member of the Twin Lamps is Jobasha, who runs Jobasha's Rare Books in Vivec's Foreign Quarter. He will reward you with Skill Books in return for freeing enough slaves. Apart from Ilmeni Dren and Jobasha, most of the other members of this faction gather at the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart, under the leadership of Im-Kilaya.

Becoming a member of this faction is achieved by what you do, not who you talk to. To participate, a would-be abolitionist must rescue slaves from their captors, remove their slave bracers, talk to them on all available subjects afterwards, and in some cases escort slaves to freedom. Having done all this, you will eventually be referred to the faction by name — after freeing nine slaves — and later receive a secret password which will allow you to participate fully in Twin Lamps quests. You will only receive the password if you have freed more than twenty slaves. Once you receive the password of the Twin Lamps and give it to Ilmeni you can perform two quests for the faction: The Twin Lamps and Free Hides-His-Foot. Although these quests are officially House Hlaalu quests, anybody can start them so long as they give the password of the Twin Lamps to Ilmeni.
