The Pale Watch

The Pale Watch was a knightly order from High Rock during the Second Era. Pledging fealty to the monarch of Daggerfall, they were fierce adherents to their oath of vigil, but eventually descended into banditry.

Penitus Oculatus

Penitus Oculatus means "The Inner Eyes." As their name suggests, they are the eyes, the sword, and the shield of the Mede Dynasty.

They seemingly took up the duties of the Imperial Order of Blades and Imperial Guard after the fall of the Septim Dynasty.

Phyllocid Dynasty

The Phyllocid Dynasty was the royal family of Hammerfell that governed the province from the ancient capital of Hegathe and later in Sentinel during its time under the regime of the Second Empire and the Interregnum. Each monarch is adorned with the Diadem of Diagna when graced with the title of the High King.

Plessington Clan

The Plessington Clan was a Breton noble family hailing from Ykalon. They were known to led a knightly order called the Order of the Cup, which also served as the protectors of the family. In 3E 405, Lord Plessington led the order and was very eager to help in all the affairs of High Rock. He was known to send them off to right a wrong and come back with a story or two, with no other, greater purpose, beyond the charity.

The events of the Warp in the West led to the incorporation of the fiefdom of Ykalon into the Kingdom of Daggerfall. It also caused most of the forests in Ykalon to burn down. It is unknown how this affected the members of the Plessington Clan, however.

Predecessors

The Predecessors were the mortal inhabitants of the Shivering Isles in bygone eras, whose civilizations were wiped out by the cycle of the Greymarch. They are responsible for the many ancient ruins that dot the realm.

Priests of Order

The Priests of Order are mortal inhabitants of the Shivering Isles who have betrayed their liege, Sheogorath, to join Jyggalag and his Forces of Order. With their link to Jyggalag giving them power, these priests perform rituals at the obelisks to summon Knights of Order to the realm. As long as their obelisk is active, they cannot truly be killed. The only way to break the connection between a Priest of Order and their obelisk is to place three Hearts of Order into the obelisk, causing it to overload, then kill the priest before they can repair the damage.

Prostitutes Guild

The Prostitutes Guild was sanctioned in 2E 321 by Potentate Versidue-Shaie with the approval of the Guilds Act. Each local chapter of the Prostitutes Guild has a Guildmistress who handles appointments with clients and oversees the safety of the guild's prostitutes.

Psijic Order

The Psijic Order (rarely spelled Psijiic Order) or the Order of PSJJJJ is the oldest monastic group of Tamriel, devoted to the study and practice of Mysticism, which they call the "Old Ways" or "Elder Way". Though these terms are also used to refer to the religion and customs of the order, related to ideas of meditation and achievable higher states of being, and described as the combination of Mysticism, the Eleven Forces, the divine laws that bind and define the nature of reality, and a deep understanding of the Ehlnofey, those Aedric spirits which established the foundations of life and the world, into a philosophy and way of life. They make their home on the Isle of Artaeum in the Summerset archipelago. They have often been criticized for hoarding their knowledge and in turn mocking other scholars for not seeing their way.
