Nedic Sect - AllisonNil/Elder-Kings-2-Wiki GitHub Wiki

Nedes are the original humans who colonised Tamriel in ancient times, spreading across most of the continent and diverging widely in their culture and beliefs.

Though only tiny holdouts remain today, the remaining Nedic folk, primarily in Black Marsh, worship a pantheon of Aedra not too dissimilar to that of the Empire, but with a notable focus on Z'en and a threefold mother figure consisting of Dibella, Mara and Kynerath. Lorkh, their version of Shezarr, also feature prominently. Some scholars argue this faith could be considered to be close to a pre-Ayleid and pre-Alessian Nedic pantheon of Gods.
