The Psijic Order is a mysterious and ancient order of powerful mages based on the Isle of Artaeum. It is a joinable faction in the Summerset Chapter. As the island disappeared from Tamriel over 350 years ago, around when former member Vanus Galerion formed the Mages Guild, the Order has rarely ever been seen.
The Order formerly occupied the island of Dranil Kir, and a scrying device known as an Obscuros located on it is sought by Lilatha, the master of the glazing glass. After Nocturnal's plot in the Clockwork City is thwarted, Sotha Sil tells Divayth Fyr that he will inform the Psijics so that they can prepare for a future threat.
To join the Psijic Order, you must first complete the first Summerset zone story quest in Shimmerene, The Queen's Decree. You will then gain access to Artaeum. Speak with Loremaster Celarus in the Ceporah Tower to formally join the Psijic Order. If you somehow manage to transport to Artaeum by other means (e.g. teleporting to a player or their Grand Psijic Villa) without having completed The Queen's Decree, then Loremaster Celarus will not be present, even if you can see other players talking to someone you can't see. All you will be able to do is discover the Artaeum wayshrine to provide easier access to Artaeum in the future. You may still acquire the Psijic Order skill line by spending Crowns, if another character on your account has completed it.
