Accord of the Aurbis

The Accord of the Aurbis is a book composed of numerous poems, stories, divinations and prophecies written by the elusive "Witch-Mother" Maghda. The Accord is somewhat difficult to read and discern for the average person, but scholars and historians recognize that all the contents of the book heavily allude to, and almost detail the end of creation and the Aurbis.

The Accord has sections written about the natures of the gods, the daedra, and the world itself. It is written in various languages ranging from common Tamrielic to Daedric and Ehlnofex. The book is seen as a holy scripture for adherents of the Cult of Twin Ravens, who say that the contents of the Accord are the exact words revealed to Maghda from the two-headed god of chaos, Tash'anzu. Supposedly, the Accord gives instructions to Tash'anzu's followers about how to bring about the collapse of the "Tower of the Aurbis".

Many scholars believe that the book was scarcely written by the Witch-Mother at all, but rather is a collection and revision of works written by Vivec and Mankar Camoran. However, no one is quite certain since some concepts contained within the Accord are similar to these works, although the meaning may be completely different. The Accord is a controversial but highly sought-after collector's item among scholars of cults and daedra. No firm bans exist on the book within the Empire, but it remains something of a taboo to seek it out.
