The PSJJJJ Order: Sacred or Secular?

IMPERIAL CITY, CYRODIIL — There has been talk at the local cult census offices on the true mytho-historic nature of the Monastic Order of Ar-Taehm. They claim to not be a religious function, end yet, one cannot doubt all their usage of ritual mysticism, symbolism, organisational hierarchies, and internal teaching methods. Monks will say that their duty is only to witness and advise, but there have been many cases of their direct interactions with the affairs of the Imperium Hominum. Through rumoured arithmantic eugenics, they have placed agents in every court of every great power: Dunmeri Great Houses, Nordic Clan Rings, High Rocki Royal Courts, and even the Elder Council. For what purpose? Mediation in conflicts? Negotiation overseeing? Charismatic recruitment? Do we really know where their loyalties truly lie? What their agenda is? The key conundrum is: Why is it that so many different cultures, religions, and political powers find them so trustworthy?? The truth is this! They have engineered religiosity in the first people to ascend the mortal races!! For us in the Nibennium, it is a way of life in every hour, a guiding philosophy in the mundane and spiritual plane. But to the Aldmeri "monks", it is the emulation of the Ada by the children of Mundus. An encystment of glorified past actions. They know this and thus wield it as a tool to secure their sanctuary in every possipoint of Aurbis Mythis. The introduction of the "monomyth" to Uriel V. Appearing to the first Cyrodilic Aboriginals as "celestial." Inspiring terror to the Atmorans as the "golden-eyed Woodland Men" forcing them to immigrate to Skyrim, and then reinstating the Greybeards (much like the Grey Cloaks!) as a pacifistic function a la "Daughters of Kyne." Who telepathically implanted the Psijic Way into Veloth's mind? Directed Sotha Sil to the tools? We have been their playthings this whole time!!! Fear the sages no more.
