The Servant of Almalexia is a Dark Elf woman who appears as a projection when people pray to Almalexia, or when prayers to the Tribunal are answered by Almalexia. She acts as Almalexia's messenger, and speaks on her behalf when the Lady cannot answer herself. Like the goddess, she has offers a great deal of wisdom. She and Almalexia are both aware that you have no soul.
She is to Almalexia as the Servant of Vivec and Servant of Sotha Sil are to their respective gods.

Quest-Related EventsEdit
Night of the SoulEdit
The first place you are likely to meet the Servant of Almalexia is near Ebonheart, at Almalexia's shrine while praying to the Tribunal for Disciple Sildras or Acolyte Madrana.
- "My Lady Almalexia bids you carry a message to Disciple Sildras."
- What is this message? / What message does Almalexia have for Sildras?
- "The Tribunal does not abandon their people. Just as a parent shelters children from dangers they cannot comprehend, the Three shelter the Dunmer from threats beyond their ken."
- Is there anything more?
- "Tell him that My Lady is mindful of his doubt and fear. There is no shame in either, so long as he helps others bear their burdens.
- By helping others, his fears will be allayed, but if he spreads his despair, My Lady will chastise him."
You can then ask her more about Almalexia.
- Who is Almalexia?
- "Ah. You are the child whose soul was stolen. My Lady is concerned for you.
- Almalexia is the Merciful Healing Mother of the Dunmer. She is the most beloved of the Tribunal."
- That can't be all.
- "I am merely a servant and messenger of my Lady, not a teacher or priest.
Seek the temples and libraries to learn more. Perhaps, in time, you may speak to Almalexia herself."
Speak to her before leaving and she'll say:
- "The Mother attends to greater threats and relies on Sildras to care for her children. Make sure he knows this."
Divine FavorEdit
The Servant appears once more at Iliath Temple, when you pray to the Tribunal for aid as the Ashlanders dig beneath the walls to attack. If you previously communed with her for Diciple Sildras, she will recognize you.
- "Ah, it's you again. The child whose soul was stolen.
My Lady Almalexia is grateful for the aid you gave Disciple Sildras."
If this is your first meeting, she'll say instead:
- "What is it you wish, child?"
Either way...
- Curate Brethis fears the temple will fall. Is there anything the Tribunal can do?
- "My Lady has many responsibilities to her children.
Is Iliath more important than the Covenant invasion? Than Molag Bal's schemes? Than a mother struggling to give birth in Mournhold, or a father praying for his sick child's life in Seyda Neen?" - If the Ashlanders attack, everyone here may die.
- "Even if they do attack, everyone here will still die some day. Even you, child. One night, you will close your eyes and never return to Tamriel.
The Tribunal does not offer immortality, nor does it shield the reverent from the trials of life." - Is there nothing I can do?
She will suggest scattering the ashes of the fallen Ordinators to get them to defend Iliath:
- "Ah! Now that is a wiser question.
Almalexia bids me to say this: Go to the chapel below this temple. Take ashes from the urns of Nerathren and Faryon. Scatter them in the eternal flames beneath the northern and southern towers." - What should I do after scattering their ashes?
- "The Ordinators will appear before you. You must earn their respect.
Long ago, Nerathren and Faryon were guard captains who gave their lives to defend Iliath. Defeat them in combat, and they'll aid in your defense of Iliath." - Why do I have to fight them to get their help?
- "Suppose a mer asked you for aid against an enemy he could not defeat alone.
If you can defeat him in battle, he's weak, and wants you to solve problems for him. If he can defeat you, he's strong, and his need is genuine."
Speaking to her after this conversation:
- "The urns of Nerathren and Faryon are in the chapel beneath this temple.
Take some of their ashes. Then cast them into the eternal flames in the north and south towers."
NotesEdit
- If you start the Night of the Soul with Acolyte Madrana, the servant will speak of Disciple Sildras and not the acolyte.
- She will mention that your soul has been stolen even if you haven't yet lost your soul to Molag Bal.
