Amulets of the Nine

The realm of Nirn, specifically the human- and elf-dominated continent of Tamriel, is watched over by a legion of gods and goddesses. While most of these deities occupy a dubious state of existence, the pantheon venerated in the imperial province of Cyrodiil seems to be one of the most active.

The Divines sow aid across the provinces in the form of shrines, which can cure disease and grant blessings, and amulets, each of which contains a scrap of their god's power.

All of the following amulets can be used as holy symbols for Paladins and Clerics.
