Daggerfall:Temples

Temples
Opening Hours	24/7

There are eight different Temples in the Iliac Bay, each devoted to one of the Eight Divines of Tamriel. In the lore, each temple is associated with a templar knightly order (not to be confused with Knightly Orders) considered to be the temple's military arm, although they are not actually present in the game.

You may only join one temple as of patch v1.04.191. If you try to join another temple by clicking the "Join Guild" button, nothing will happen.

Temples provide benefits and services such as free healing, skill training, and Daedra summoning. Some of the higher benefits can only be used by members with high reputation and rank in the temple. Services that cure diseases are also available to non-members.

Temples Overview[edit]

Political Affiliations[edit]

All Temples of the Iliac Bay are bound to a generic faction called "Generic Temple" for game-internal purposes. This faction is structured as seen below.

		Power
Political Factions (by influence)	Generic Temple	45
	Temple Blessers	3
	Temple Healers	8
	Temple Treasurers	3
	Temple Missionaries	3

Note: the above factions appear to be shared by some NPCs in all Temples, such as quest givers. The remaining types of NPCs are members of Temple-specific factions, and grouped with their individual Temples.

Ranks[edit]

Promotions within a temple are based on your reputation with the deity, not the temple itself.

Rank	Rank Title	Reputation	High skill	Low skill
0	Novice	0	22	4
1	Initiate	10	23	5
2	Acolyte	20	31	9
3	Adept	30	39	13

6	Brother	60	63	25
7	Diviner	70	71	29
8	Master	80	79	33

_{* Magic Item merchants of The School of Julianos also sell Soul Gems at Rank 4. This could be because Magic Item Merchants of Julianos and The Mages Guild share the same in-game resource for their service. Magic Item Merchants of The Mages Guild sell Soul Gems regularly to members once they acquire Rank 4.}

Note: The deity of the Temple which offered the quest is considered the "Main Faction". All other factions aligned with the deity are considered as subgroups.

Note: temple quests are offered based on rank only, and not character level.

Bugs[edit]

Due to map data bugs, some temples may appear on the map as a templar order, for example The Order of the Hour instead of The Akatosh Chantry. They still function as the corresponding temples though.
