The Conclave of the Eleven Forces is the Council of the Psijic Order, based on the Isle of Artaeum. It is also known as the Council of Artaeum. Headed by Mystic Iachesis in its beginnings, the Council and the Isle disappeared from existence in the Second Era, only to return years later without many of the original Council members or Iachesis.[1] Near the end of the Third Era, the Council and the Isle of Artaeum were led by Loremaster Celarus.[1] The Council was founded when Altmer Elders from Summerset Isles rebelled against the change of ways from those of Aldmeris to the ones now considered customary in the Isles. The Psijic Order was founded by the elders and the Psijics still practice the Old Ways of Aldmeris, or Mysticism.[2][3][4] They were formerly based in the Keep of the Eleven Forces when they still operated in Summerset.[UOL 1]

Notes[edit]

  • The Council seems to respect the ancient and mysterious centaurs, even calling them "true followers of the Old Ways" of Tamriel. This of course refers to the complex system of ancestor worship that Council espouses. [11]
