[edit] Talos Cult (Temple)

The Talos Cult is a group of worshipers of the great Tiber Septim, founder of the Empire. In order to join, new recruits must swear the following oath: That we shall die to put a strong man back on the throne of Tamriel (full text). They have many followers in the Legions, conspiring to assassinate whoever the current emporer may be and replace him, so to prevent the Empire's decline.

[edit] Temple of Kynareth

Our Lady is the Goddess Kynareth whose sphere is the Heavens itself. She is sometimes called the Goddess of Air, the Pure One. It was She who gave the Lords Mail to the Warrior Lord Morihaus to combat the unclean Daedric spirits. By the glory of our Lady, we have become the greatest physicians in Tamriel -- our ability to cure magical and mundane diseases is truly unrivalled. Other temples cure only their own priests, but we are philanthropists. Of course, the Goddess shows special favor on Her own. We do take in new initiates, provided they show devotion to the Goddess and have the skill to make their devotion worthwhile.

[edit] Temple of Mara

See Benevolence of Mara

[edit] Temple of Stendarr

Our God is the God of Mercy, Stendarr. Some mock our compassion, calling us sentimental fools and tenderhearts. But the truth is that everyone, no matter their strength, crawls to us when Sai, the God of Luck deserts them as he is prone to do. Our gift to the traveller is a simple one -- we heal those who are in pain. For more complicated ailments, diseases and poisonings, we direct you to the Temple of Kynareth. With due respect, for they are the finest apothecaries and we, the finest chirurgeons. If one possesses the desire and aptitude, one may join the Temple. Though we desire to help all Tamrielans, we only possess the means to train and assist a small handful. Sometimes, it is best to begin one's compassion with oneself.

[edit] Thieves Guild

The Thieves Guild is an organization for the gathering and training of those stealthy and shadowy in nature. Although criminal by its very definition, the local authorities often tolerate the existence of the guild as its presence often greatly decreases, if not eliminates, the more unstable or dangerous criminals.

Like any trade guild, the Thieves Guild is an organization of professionals, except that in this case the professionals are thieves, robbers, pickpockets, smugglers, and other enterprising operators. They don't have public guild halls, but in large towns they do tend to gather at a single location, such as a cornerclub, inn, or tradehouse.

[edit] Thrafey

Thrafey is one of the vampire bloodlines of Daggerfall.

[edit] Tribunal Temple

The Tribunal Temple is the native religion of the Dunmer of Morrowind. They worship Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec, known together as the Tribunal or Almsivi. Most people usually just call it "the Temple". They accept outlanders as members, but most of the few outlanders that do join, join only for the services provided. On Vvardenfell, the Temple District included the city of Vivec, the fortress of Ghostgate, and all sacred and profane sites (including those Blighted areas inside the Ghostfence) and all unsettled and wilderness areas. In practice, this district included all parts of Vvardenfell not claimed for Redoran, Hlaalu, or Telvanni Districts. The Temple stubbornly fought all development in their district, and were largely successful.

The Temple maintains less than favorable relations with most of the other guilds of Morrowind, being allies only with the House Redoran and on friendly terms with House Hlaalu.

[edit] The Twin Lamps

The Twin Lamps is the secret, underground slave recovery and rescue guild of Morrowind. The group helps free slaves, primarily Argonians and Khajiiti and transport them out of Morrowind to safety. They use the Argonian Mission in Ebonheart as a base of operations. Their head in Morrowind is Ilmeni Dren, the daughter of Duke Vedam Dren. They commonly use the phrase: "Have you seen the Twin Lamps?" to recognise fellow members, the answer required being: "They light the way to freedom."
