Monastery of Serene Harmony

Eporem

from this statue there, can I conclude that there are both male and female monks?

Ajaxandriel

If I interpreted well seeing this statue in game, it was Auri-El (face) and Xarxes (back)

The former brings the divinity of the elves
he holds the sun (source of light and magics, metaphorical way to aether)
it's quite identical to TES4 statue at the Snow Elves' https://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Auri-El?file=Auriel_statue.png

The latter writes the myth for the myth itself becoming "truth"
he holds the book (symbol of the lore / canon)

Something I wondered on PTS; who does the boot represent (middle arch in the screenshot)?

Ajaxandriel

I guess it could be Phynaster

"Hero-god of the Summerset Isles, who taught the Altmer how to naturally live another hundred years by using a shorter walking stride."

Thank you for this @Ajaxandriel I enjoyed reading about Xarxes

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Xarxes_(god)#Xarxes

and about this book Oghma Infinium

http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Oghma_Infinium

and I did end up finding a female monk within the Monastery



I wondered the same too @WhiteCoatSyndrome about the boot and about what this other image might represent:

does it represent the Oghma Infinium? as shown here: http://en.uesp.net/wiki/File:SR-book-Oghma_Infinium_1.png



and I wondered as well why there were two arches of the six empty of altars...

I doubt such an item would have its own altar but why not!
Other idea, could it be a kind of astrolabe? then a symbol for Topal the Pilot, if he'd happen to get divinized?
We may have the reply the day this statue makes its way as a weekend luxury furniture.

Well now we know it was shrine of Magnus, that's right. I can see the sun "vibe" taken as astronomic body and the sundial-like shape...
