[edit] Benevolence of Mara
Temples devoted to the Mother Goddess of Tamriel are called Benevolences, for we are devoted to the charge of uniting all creatures as brethren, children of Mara. We are intolerant only of those who show intolerance; we hate only those who hate. Mara is our Mother Goddess, and thus she blesses all with the gift of love. Particularly, she favors those who help her followers in Tamriel. For a reasonable donation to our Benevolence, you will be blessed and be forever beloved by he or she who loves you best. Those who devote themselves further to the Mother Goddess are even more blessed. Our priests and priestesses study the greatness of Mara's Tamriel and have learned much. So there is much to share with our initiates who are judged to be true to Mara's calling.
[edit] Blades
The Blades are the hidden Eyes and Ears of the Emperor in the provinces of Tamriel. They are a prestigious service order for citizens demonstrating the greatest loyalty to the Emperor. To be named in the Blades by the Emperor is a great honor, and publicly acknowledged members serve openly in noble courts and diplomatic posts. Privately, many Blades members act as the Empire's intelligence agency. Such agents conceal themselves with secret identities, operating in disguise as couriers, observers, spies and bodyguards throughout the Empire.
Their ancient stronghold, Cloud Ruler Temple, is located in the Jerall Mountains.
For additional general information, see the Tamriel article on the Blades.
