    Can someone walk me through the process of becoming a lich? I have read up on it on the UESP, and the Elder Scrolls Wiki, but it is all a load of big words to me. "The soul magma is transferred into the magical phylactery which contains the undying essence of the Necromancer" dosen't really mean much to me. Can someone explain it in VERY simple terms?

    You spit your soul into a bottle, hide the bottle, you become undead but self-aware. You basicaly raise yourself as an undead.

    Do we know if the Pentus Oculatus ever collaborates with the Imperial legions? If so, how often and under what circumstances?

    I'm not sure Aidence. They were the replacement for the blades and as such, they're both the personal guards of the emperor and the empire's intelligence division. This time just without the reverence for Talos and the Dragonborn (plural).

    I like to think that they are an organization outside of the Legion itself but that they have the authority to take command of a legion unit when they deem it necessary. I wouldn't be surprised if Penitus Occulatus are recruited directly from the Legion either.

    Not sure if that answers your question, but I hope it helps.

    To my understanding, the Penitus Oculatus are assassins, saboteurs, and private soldiers for the Emperor. I guess they can be compared to a special operations division in that they have free access to military intelligence and will take up the more "unofficial" missions.

    So, aside from possibly Hermaeus Mora, are there any other gods or spirits connected to water?

    I don't think even Mora is connected to water. He is the god of knowledge, which I don't think has anything to do with water.

    To answer the question, I'd say Kynareth is the closest thing you got since she is the Goddess of nature and water seems natural enough.

    According the UESP Wiki page Lore: Kynareth, she is associated with rain, which is said to be Kyne's tears as she mourns the loss of Shor since rain didn't appear until his divine spark was forcibly removed. She is also known as the Patron of travelers and sailors.

    So the Kyne's tears and Kynreth's rain is spot on, also we have associations with water in the form of Stendarr's horn and chalice, Mara's Everflow Ewer from Knightfall, and even the Forgotten Vale quests in which you need to fill the vessel at each shrine. 

    Here's the Mora thing, although unreliable narrator principle applies to this worshipper of the Wrteched Abyss:

    ESO also gave us Ehlnofey, one for each traditional element. These et'ada - Original Spirits - became guardians of the elements.

    I'm sure that Paws knows this but to clarify for Chris, the deity associated with the Forgotten Vale quest is Auri-El (Auriel), the Elven variant of Akatosh. The Initiates Ewer needs to be filled at each of the Wayshrines in the Forgotten Vale where a ghostly Prelate is found at each Wayshrine. These Snow Elves were once priests of Auri-El who guided initiates to the Inner Sanctum within the Chantry of Auri-El.
