Introductions

This one does not appear in many publicly available academic texts, and this is by choice, for my work often requires me to move unheard and unseen. I am most well known by Seeker of Secrets, a title this one has used for some time, a few of my readers may know me this, or other names.

Being a follower of Azura and Hermaeus Mora, this one knows well the tenements of knowledge, and of secrets. Following the creed of both, this one wishes to share all the secrets that is safe to share.

Much of my career has been spent on the other side of the law to many of my colleges, and as a result has learned many things that are not safe to share. The smuggling routes in and out of Tamriels many ports, where one can get rid of fenced goods, and what local herbs may help or take a mans life.

I would happily stay in the shadow, guide the grand minds of history, art and the arcane. Recent events around the world and trends within my beloved academies have forced my hand. I see careless academics damaging vital religious and cultural sites with inadequate knowledge and tools. I see bright young mages throwing their lives away needlessly due to poor preparation and foresight.

This one present to the community, this series of advices, tips and guides in order to make you better, more responsible, and more instantly alive academics. Remember, being an adventurer does not make one a scholar, and being an academic does not make one a skilled dungeon delver. Our profession requires us to increasingly be both.
