The Hands of Almalexia are Dark Elf warriors who serve as the personal guards of the goddess Almalexia. The Hands are pledged to honor, protect, and serve Almalexia in all ways. Also referred to as simply "Her Hands", whose bodies and souls are fortified by divine magic, and whose armor and weapons bear fearsome divine enchantments. They are said to be greater than the High Ordinators who, according to Fedris Hler, are among the greatest fighters in all Morrowind. Some even say the Hands are the most terrible mortal warriors in the world.

Although the Hands are 10 levels lower than the respawning High Ordinators patrolling the streets, they have various things that more than make up for the difference in level. For starters, their armor and weapons have powerful enchantments. They also have unusually high strength (170) and endurance (125). Each Hand is a master of block, heavy armor and long blade - skills that are only further boosted by two abilities:

• Her Hand ability - Fortify Attack 45 pts on Self, Fortify Heavy Armor 100 pts on Self, Fortify Strength 70 pts on Self, Fortify Long Blade 50 pts on Self, Fortify Block 50 pts on Self, Fortify Endurance 25 pts on Self, Fortify Speed 25 pts on Self, Fortify Agility 70-75 pts on Self
• Her Mirror ability - Reflect 40 pts on Self, Restore Health 3 pts on Self, Resist Fire 75 pts on Self, Resist Frost 50 pts on Self, Resist Poison 20 pts on Self, Resist Shock 50 pts on Self, Resist Paralysis 45 pts on Self

In the past they used to spend much of their time punishing criminals and protecting the people. Now they spend all their time protecting Almalexia. The Hands are currently led by Almalexia's Chief Steward, Fedris Hler, a former Assassin.

Speaking to any of the Hands will have them express their undying loyalty towards Almalexia, after which they will send you on your way: "We await the Goddess' command. Her word is our law. There is no time to speak with the likes of you." If you are wearing the sacred cuirass and/or helmet, conversing with a Hand will have them stay their hand, unlike with other High Ordinators: "You wear the sacred garb of the Ordinator, but you are not of the Order. I stay my hand solely at the Lady's discretion. Speak with me no more."
