{{Lore Link|Veloth|Saint Veloth}} the Pilgrim is the patron saint of Outcasts and Spiritual Seekers in the Dunmeri pantheon. In the Late Middle [[Lore:Merethic Era|Merethic Era]], he was a prophet and mystic who believed the [[Lore:Aldmer|Aldmer]] culture in [[Lore:Summerset Isle|Summerset Isle]] had become decadent. Seeking a more pure and ascetic way of life, he led a great migration of [[Lore:Chimer|Chimer]] (the ancestors of modern-day [[Lore:Dunmer|Dunmer]]) into the promised land of {{Lore Link|Resdayn}} (Morrowind).{{ref|name=LOTS|{{Cite book|Lives of the Saints}}}} The Chimer settled the area rapidly, enjoying a golden age of culture, architecture, and spirituality.{{ref|name=EGTMorrowind|{{Cite book|EGT|Morrowind}}}} Saint Veloth taught the difference between the Good and Bad [[Lore:Daedra|Daedra]],{{ref|name=THOT|{{Cite book|The House of Troubles}}}} and won the aid of the Good Daedra for his people while also instructing on how to carefully negotiate with the Bad Daedra.

The [[Lore:Velothi Mountains|Velothi Mountains]] are named after him, as are the Velothi towers of Morrowind. The golden age of Chimeri history is known as the period of High Velothi Culture. The influence of antiquity is keenly felt, as 'Velothi' is still an accurate descriptor of the Dunmer people, and is used in connection with references to their oldest cultural traditions.{{ref|name=TS|{{Cite book|The Stranger}}}}{{ref|name=TSV|{{Cite book|The Seven Visions}}}} In addition, many magical items with healing enchantments bear his name, but the most well known artifact is the powerful Judgment of Saint Veloth warhammer, last known to be in the possession of the [[Lore:Tribunal|Tribunal Temple]] at the end of the Third Era.{{ref|name=Morrowind|Events of [[MW:Morrowind|Morrowind]]}}<noinclude>

====Teachings====
Veloth's teachings of fundamentalist ancestor worship are still practiced by the Ashlanders who see themselves as direct descendants of the Aldmeri peoples who followed the Prophet Veloth.{{ref|name=ZS|{{Cite book|Zainsubani's Notes}}}}{{ref|name=POT|{{Cite book|Progress of Truth}}}} Heralded by the Prophet Veloth, [[Lore:Boethiah|Boethiah]] is the original god-ancestor of the Dark Elves. Through his illuminations, the eventual 'Chimer', or Changed Folk, renounced all ties to the Aldmer and founded a new culture which venerated Daedra. All manner of Dark Elven cultural 'advances' are attributed to Boethiah, from philosophy to magic to 'responsible' architecture. Ancient Velothi allegories are uniformly heroic successes of Boethiah over enemies of every type, foundation stories of Chimeri struggle. The spiritual beliefs and metaphysical ideals of Lord Vivec spring directly from the teachings of Veloth, whose movement he regarded as an element of barbarism necessary to break from Aldmeri culture.
