The priests and clergy of the Temple District are being rounded up and tortured by Molag Bal’s minions, presumably for information leading to the Dragonfire Cathedral and the mysterious relic they seek. Perhaps stirred by the recent loss of Captain Regilus, the Drake herself has come to the district to search personally for one of those captured, a priest named Father Egnatius. If I recall that was the same priest who gave Captain Caudex of the Immortal Eight the scroll in the Nobles district.

Egnatius is not amongst the priests we are able to rescue from the outer shrines, but one of them informs us he saw him being dragged into the Temple of the One by the Daedra. The Drake believes this as good as a death sentence for the priest, so the two of us have little choose but to launch a most foolhardy rescue attempt. Egnatius may be the only one capable of deciphering the ancient scroll’s arcane symbols and references. And whilst it goes unsaid, if we cannot rescue him then we must at the very least insure that any secrets he did know do not leave that defiled temple.
