If only each man might look into the mirror of these Commands, and see reflected there the bliss that might enfold them, were he to serve in strict obedience to these Commands, he would be cast down and made contrite and humble. The Eight say: Above all else, be good to one another.Worship the Eight, do your duty, and heed the commands of the saints and priests. Akatosh says: Serve and obey your Emperor.When in doubt, seek wisdom from the wise. Seek joy and inspiration in the mysteries of love. Dibella says: Open your heart to the noble secrets of art and love.Kynareth says: Use Nature's gifts wisely.Spend wisely, and you will be comfortable.
Zenithar says: Work hard, and you will be rewarded.
Honor your parents, and preserve the peace and security of home and family. Mara says: Live soberly and peacefully.Guard and tend the bounties of the mortal world, and do not profane the spirits of the dead. Arkay says: Honor the earth, its creatures, and the spirits, living and dead.Protect the weak, heal the sick, and give to the needy. Stendarr says: Be kind and generous to the people of Tamriel.
Yet Akatosh, in His wisdom, knowing how impatient is man, and how loath he is to travel upon the hard roads of truth, has allowed these nine simple commands to be made manifest with powerful clarity and concise definition. To convey to man's mind all the manifold subtleties of truth and virtue may not be done, were all the seas ink, and all the skies the parchment upon which Their wisdoms were writ. Alessia, you may be so filled with grace, and the strength and wisdom that come from grace, that through these teachings you may come to the true meaning of the Eight Divines and Their glories.
