Lore:Order of Arkay

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

The Order of Arkay is a religious order dedicated to the worship of Arkay, the God of the Cycle of Birth and Death. The Knights of the Circle are the protectors and guardians of the Order of Arkay.

We are the Order of Arkay, the God of Birth and Death. Arkay is the great spirit who brings every man and woman, human, elf, khajiit, and Argonian into this world, and when the time is true, ends their circle. Arkay is fertility and blight, joy and sorrow. At the Order, we celebrate the Blessed Neutrality that Arkay stands for. While we do not offer strangers blessings, for to give favor or curse would be to upset the eternal balance, the Order offers much to its members. Our libraries and sages are some of the finest in Tamriel. Of course, few are worthy to be initiated into the mysteries of Birth and Death.
