Hi all. Would someone help me choose the right class for a Dunmer that follows Azura? I also want to make him a Vampire. i was thinking of Making a Nightblade with some Psijic spells. I want to be Magicka too. I can't wait to see what you all come up with! Thank you in advance.

Hello, OP. What type of education do you need to have in order to follow the commands of your god ? This is a type of question you have asked actually.

Anyway, here is what I think on that:
Preferable faction: the Ashlanders (that Clanfriend title you can acquire living with them);
Preferable classes: Warden, Nightblade, Dragon Knight, Sorcerer;
Restrictions: no to necromancy, no to vampirism, no to templar class.

These are only preferences, not the requirements of the lore. Also keep in mind, we are not just commoners there, we are Heroes of an Elder Scroll, so we can be anyone of any class and affiliation. Moreover, as I've mentioned above, you don't need to be an ashlander or be of any specific class to express your beliefs, to perform certain rites of Daedric communion. Remember those Daedric cultists are of various classes. If you feel those preferences suit you, then read below for a more detailed information on my opinion I've stated above.

===============================
First, we have to define what a character class is. As I've written my opinion on it earlier, the Sorcerer, Nightblade, Dragon Knight, etc. are neither classes nor estates and not even professions. A character's class is a predefined complex of skills and knowledge, a result of a particular course of study which grants a character the ability to perform certain functions within the social division of labour in any system so that a character may specialize. In other words, a character class is what we call a type of education IRL.

Secondly, a Dunmeri follower of Azura might be an ashlander since the majority of the House Dunmer are the Tribunal worshippers while the ashlanders worship the Three Good Daedra, those whom we call the Anticipations, with Azura among them. So you might also want to use that Ashlanders Crafting Motif 48: Ashlander Style. But you can also be like any other Dunmer like those Dissident Priests, or the Telvanni. The game allows us to become a Dres who are known to be the most conservative of all the Great Houses, so it is up to you to decide. Even the Tribunal priests still revere Azura, though she herself calls Vivec an arrogant impostor and murderer - that depends on how are you going to "follow" Azura. The Daedric Rites, the ways of worship and Azura's features different worshippers endue Azura with - this is what differs the Khajiiti, the House Dunmeri, the Breton, the Ashlander's and etc. Azura's worshippers from each other.

Thirdly, regarding the most appropriate education. Almost any class. If you choose to be an ashlanders' Clanfriend, thus almost an ashlander, you can be a Nightblade. Ashlanders also do have shamans among them, so they can be Sorcerers. But keep in mind that the majority of the ashlanders fear sorcerers like those ones of House Telvanni. Ashlanders also live in the wilds and thus are perfectly fit to use those Warden skills they could acquire living in the Ashlands that alow them to use Cliff racers, shalks, fetcherflies, netches. The ashlanders can also be Dragon Knights since those skills are taught by the former Dragonguard soldiers in spite of the student's race, religion, etc.

Fourthly, I think they are not fit to be Templars, Necromancers and especially Vampires. Templars use Aedric magic, though it does not contradict anything much (e.g. the Ancestor Guardian in TES III is likewise some sort of an aedric spell, so what?..), I think the templar's skills fit more some Stendarr's cults' needs then those of a Daedric one. Necromancers and vampires are hated throughout Tamriel, especially in Morrowind. You want to be an outcast?.. Only the Telvanni are tolerant to them. For any Dunmer it is blasphemy to raise a dead Dunmer, but it is fine to raise a corpse of a non-dunmer being. Though as far as I remember, Azura was allied with Molag Bal in TES II, she has never been fond of those abominations and foul wizards.
