Explore Imperial Cult ranks and quests in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, including details on almoner, lay healer, and shrine sergeant jobs.
The Imperial Cult is divided into three subdivisions, or occupations, that you can fulfill: lay healers, almoners, and shrine sergeants. You can choose one or all three. Each reports to a different Cult member: almoners to Iulus Truptor, lay healers to Synnolian Tunifus, and shrine sergeants to Kaye. All three superiors are located in the Ebonheart Imperial Chapel.
- 1Travel to Ebonheart and locate the Imperial Chapel.
- 2Speak with Iulus Truptor, who is found downstairs, to accept an almoner project.
- 3Alms from the Skyrim Mission: Iulus needs 100 septims. Go to the Skyrim Mission in the main courtyard and ask people for alms. Heidmir is a major donor and can give 200 septims if your disposition is high. You can contribute your own septims to reach the goal. Report back to Iulus.
- 4Alms from the Argonian Mission: After the Skyrim Mission, go to the Argonian Mission. The only Argonian who will donate is the leader, Im-Kilaya, who will give 100 gold if asked nicely. You can contribute your own septims to double the reward. Report back to Iulus.
- 5Buckmoth Alms: Travel to Ald'ruhn to raise 100 septims for the shrine at Buckmoth Legion Fort. Contributors include Edwinna Elbert, Baradras, Percius Mercius, Aengoth the Jeweler, Yak gro-Skandar, Dular gro-Buzga, Estoril, Tongue-Toad, Lirielle Stoine, and Galthragoth. You do not need to see everyone to collect the gold. Report back to Iulus.
- 6Shirt and Vest for Harvest's End: Iulus needs a common shirt that is red with a black vest. Search for this item in Vivec, Balmora, Caldera, or Pelagiad. Falanaamo, the clothier in Caldera, has three such shirts. Purchase one for Iulus. Return to Iulus and give him the shirt and vest.
- 7Brandy for the Fundraising Dinner: The Balmora shrine needs five cases of Cyrodilic Brandy for a fundraising dinner at Fort Moonmoth. Bacola Closcius in the South Wall cornerclub will provide one case and direct you to the Council Club for the rest.
