Cult of Twin Ravens

"'Nothing is permanent, except for change.'""- Maghda Witch-Mother, Accord of the Aurbis."The Cult of Twin Ravens, also called the Raven Cult, was an elusive and sinister religious society that worshipped the ancient being known as Tash'anzu, the "daedric" lord of Chaos, Strife and Change.

Historians and scholars have struggled to determine when exactly the Cult was formed, but activity regarding the worship of Tash'anzu can be found dating back to the Merethic Era. However, activity attributed to the name "Cult of the Twin Ravens" only appears around the late Third Era.

As of the Fourth Era, the Cult is seen to be quite active in the provinces of High Rock, Skyrim, Morrowind, and even parts of Cyrodiil. The Cult of Twin Ravens was believed to be the culprit of an uprising of Reachmen around the city of Markarth. Necromancers bearing the sigil of the cult were observed resurrecting the dead in Eastern High Rock, and in Northern Cyrodiil, summoners were discovered opening portals for daedra - the likes of which have never been seen.

One cultist who claimed membership of the Twin Ravens Cult was captured by Penitus Oculatus agents in Cyrodiil. He ultimately perished during questioning but he divulged a few secrets. He claimed the Cult's objective was to influence or cause the unmaking of creation, and return the universe to its original chaotic state, where their god Tash'anzu would rule. According to this cultist, they were led by a figure known as Maghda the Witch-Mother, an enigmatic and powerful being, according to the testimony.

Based on the words of this cultist and the frequency of the Cult's activity, some within the Empire believe that the Cult of Twin Ravens is up to something quite foul indeed.
