@ZOS_Kevin it looks like two of my questions were answered, but only one question was copy/pasted into the article. The context of the second question changes the meaning of the answer significantly!

The Altmer revere Mara, yet their marriages are arranged in favor "lineage and heritage," to quote your compatriot Augustine Viliane. What part does love and Mara play in Altmeri unions?

How does the lady Mara feel about affairs? If one is stuck in a loveless marriage but has met someone new they've fallen for, surely the Goddess of Love would understand?

First, I do not know for certain how Mara views arranged marriages, but stories abound of unexpected love blossoming even in the most stone-hearted of unions. The Divine Mother is a patient gardener. Second, while I cannot say that all affairs are equal in Mara’s eyes, I do ask that those who partake in these secretive trysts ask themselves whose garden they are watering.

Thanks for pointing this out. I had wondered why he suddenly started talking about affairs; now it makes sense!

I like the fusion of my character name "Lone Werewolf" and my username "Erickson9610" into a character named "Lone Werewolf Erickson" to refer to me and my question by! I think it's a rather fitting name for the question being asked.

Thank you for answering my question! This was a fun read.

Thank you for the Loremaster's Archive. As always it was a really fun read. Kuzam-jo's background was really sweet, and answers were really pleasant too.

Thanks for the note here. Let me see if we can correct that.
