The Glenmoril Wyrd are a loose association of female witch covens who revere nature and the natural world, and incline toward Daedra-worship. On the contrary, it is my proven ability to be objective in the context of traditional gender roles, as shown in my celebrated tract, "Saint and Slave-Queen: Alessia and the Lens of Gender," that makes me uniquely qualified to address the subject of a single-sex society like that of the Wyrd Sisters. To be clear, it is not the fact that I am a woman that makes me somehow emotionally better suited to understand the sisterhood of the Glenmoril Wyrd. This is not to say that the groundbreaking work of the Venerable Kigyo of Lilmoth and Professor Barst of Shad Astula are to be entirely discounted, merely that their objectivity has been colored and undermined by their cultural assumptions of male superiority. No folk in Tamriel have been more misunderstood than the witches of the Glenmoril Wyrd-primarily, I believe, because all the scholars who have previously written about them have been men.
