      No special requirements.

      When the Chimer were led by the triune Good Daedra into the old land of Veloth, each Daedra Lord fostered their own group of priests and priestesses. After entering Veloth, the High Velothi Culture eventually dwindled into tribal nature which finally emerged as early versions of the modern Dunmer Houses. Among these houses were the holy Daedric Houses, which included House Boethiah, House Mephala and, most importantly to this mod, House Azura. For many generations, the Minor Houses led the Great Houses in worship of the Good Daedra. However, when the Tribunal ascended to godhood and replaced the old traditions of ancestor and Daedra worship, the priestly Minor Houses began to fall out of favor in the emerging Great House and Dunmer Temple culture.
