Cult of the Ancestor Moth

The Order has the sacred duty to study the Elder Scrolls, the knowledge of which they use to aid the Emperor. On occassions priests are sent out to collect more Scrolls for their library in the White-Gold Tower, where the Moth Priests occupy the Middle Floors. Adepts to the Order are gifted with prescient powers, as the wisdom of the ancestors can show the future while in the present. As a result of this, the Order of the Ancestor Moth is given the sole privilege to interpet the Elder Scrolls, artifacts which exceed both Aedra and Daedra. Reading of an Elder Scroll comes at a price, however. Every reading of an Elder Scroll is more profound than the last, and every reading leaves the priest blind for longer periods of time than before. The last Elder Scroll a Moth Priest reads is the Scroll which leaves him permanently blinded. During the last reading, the priest achieves a nearly sublime understanding of the contents of the Scroll. After being blinded, the Moth Priest loses his ability to read a new Elder Scroll.
