Urshilaku Nerevarine

Sul-Matuul has warned me that people of the Great Houses and the Temple may be hostile when I am known as the Nerevarine. He also suggests that I take counsel with Nibani Maesa about the ways of the Ashlander tribes and their ashkhans, for I am an outsider, and unfamiliar with Ashlander ways.

Before Sul-Matuul will name me 'Nerevarine,' he first wishes to recite the needs and duties of the Nerevarine, so I may tell others. Sul-Matuul recites the need for the Nerevarine in three parts as follows. First, the curse of Dagoth Ur and the Sixth House threatens our land. Second, the False Gods lie, and offer false hope of protection. Third, I bear the Moon-and-Star of Nerevar.

The first need and proof of the Nerevarine is the curse of Dagoth Ur and the Sixth House. Because I have fought the Sixth House, because I have suffered corprus, because I have harrowed Kogoruhn, I can tell others, and my story shall serve as proof of the need for the Nerevarine.

The lies of the Tribunal and the false hope they offer of protection from Dagoth Ur are the second proof of the need for the Nerevarine. The False Gods have broken their promises, and have taken up the tools used by the enemies Kagrenac and Dagoth Ur. Since the Tribunal can no longer protect Morrowind from Dagoth Ur, the Nerevarine must shoulder that burden.

The third proof of the need for the Nerevarine is Azura's sign: I bear the Moon-and-Star of Nerevar. The legend of Moon-and-Star is known to all loremasters. No man but Nerevar may wear that ring and live.

These are the duties of the Nerevarine, as described to me by Sul-Matuul. I shall be Nerevarine of all the tribes, and Hortator of all the Great Houses. I shall eat the sin of the unmourned house, and free the false gods. I must defeat the Sixth House, and Dagoth Ur -- that is clear enough. I must free the Tribunal from their curse... I think that means free them from their use of Kagrenac's profane tools.

Sul-Matuul has named me Nerevarine, War Leader of the Urshilaku, and Protector of the People. He has given me the Teeth, an enchanted heirloom of the tribe, which shall be a sign to all Dunmer that the Urshilaku have named me Nerevarine.

I have slain an Urshilaku Ashlander. Now it will be impossible to have friendly dealings with them or their leaders.
