Auri–El - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

The traditional pantheon of the Altmer of Summerset, this faith holds the God of Time Auri-El as King of all the other gods, and ancestor to all the Altmer. After becoming aware of Lorkhan's treachery, Auri-El led the original Aldmer against the Trickster God, creating the first kingdoms of the Aldmer after his victory. The treachery of Lorkhan and their direct link with Auri-El makes this faith see existence on the mortal plane as a curse.
