Temple of the Ancestor Moths

The Temple of the Ancestor Moths is a temple in northeastern Cyrodiil, southeast of Kingscrest Keep and southwest of the Scroll Temple of Chim.

Moth Priest Crassius Viria leads what is left of the Cult of the Ancestor Moth, and can be found inside the chapel. A number of Elder Scrolls were formerly stored here and read by augurs, but they have all been stolen by the combatants of the Alliance War. A Skyshard can be found in the catacombs beneath the chapel.
