Way of the Indrik

The Way of the Indrik is an ancient philosophy adhered by a select number of Altmeri Wardens. The followers of the Way, sometimes referred to as the Errants of the Indrik, are gifted warriors and artists in perfect harmony with nature. They forgo the frost magic usually attributed to Wardens, instead invoking magic through their art, whether that be song, dance, painting, etcetera, as much outside of battle as in. The followers of the Way are also known to be masterful swordsmen, their gracious and flowing style supposedly having been taught to them by the Indriks.

The Errants protect and tend to the Indriks and their habitats, fulfilling their duty as Wardens by caring for and living in harmony with the kings of all animals. Ancient folklore holds that the Way of the Indrik was instilled upon the first Errant through a heavenly hymn, sung by Y'ffre himself, to teach the Wardens to take care of his most magnificent creation - the Indrik - in his absence. Since then, there have always been a small handful of Errants, almost all of them living on the isle of Summerset, upholding the sacred tradition. Though they are considered strange and wild by the city-dwelling Altmer - indeed, the Errants have little of the regality of the Altmer in their attire or etiquette - they are highly respected, and their words carry weight even with the rulers of Summerset, on the rare occasions that Errants visit the cities.

Because of their devotion to the protection and safekeeping of the Indriks and nature in general, the Errants are vehement opponents of the followers of the Way of the Rat, a sect of Peryite cultists whose philosophy is in direct conflict with and an affront to the Way of the Indrik.
