Some dunmer believe that an orphan and outcast, a youth born on a certain day to uncertain parents, will one day unite all of the dunmer, drive out the invaders of Morrowind and reastablish the ancient laws and customs of the Dark Elves. This orphan is known is Nerevarine. They say Nerevarine will be the reincarnation of the long-dead Dunmer general and first councilor, Lord Indoril Nerevar. Has a Nerevarine cult. He was a First age of the Dunmers, he helped form the first council and united the dunmer houses against foreign invaders aided by traitors of the House dagoth.

When the Ashlanders joined Nerevar in the battle of Red Mountain he swore on his great ring, one-clan-under-moon-and-star to honor the ways of the spirits and rights of the land. But after victory Ashlanders say the power-hungry Tribunal slew Nerevar in secret. Then setting themselves as gods, the tribunal and the great houses forgot nerevars promises to the tribes. Ashlanders say nerevar will come again with his ring cast down the false gods, and make good of his promise to the Tribes.
