{{Lore Link|Khenarthi's Roost}}, the ''' Isle of Three Temples''', is a small island off the coast of {{Lore Link|Elsweyr}} inhabited by both {{Lore Link|Khajiit}} and {{Lore Link|Maormer}}, named for the Khajiiti goddess {{Lore Link|Khenarthi}}. The island is dotted with [[Lore:Moon Sugar|moon sugar]] plantations and is a location of both active Khajiiti worship and Maormer magic, as the Khajiit signed a peace treaty with the Maormer which allowed them to settle on the island.{{ref|name=ToKR|{{Cite book|Treaty of Khenarthi's Roost}}}} The port city of {{Lore Link|Mistral}} can also be found here.
According to legend, the eagle goddess {{Lore Link|Khenarthi}} rested upon a tree on the island during her first journey across the heavens. This tree would later become the {{Lore Link|Great Tree}}, found along the coast west of Mistral. Many of the island's Khajiit therefore worship Khenarthi, although traditional worship of {{Lore Link|Jone}} and {{Lore Link|Jode}} is also prominent. Khenarthi's Roost is known for the three Khajiiti temples to the {{Lore Link|Crescent Moons}}, the {{Lore Link|Dark Moon}}, and the {{Lore Link|Two-Moons Dance}}.{{ref|name=ESO|Events of [[ON:Online|ESO]]}} The island is lush with vegetation, and beasts brought by trade vessels from all over {{Lore Link|Tamriel}} have come to call Khenarthi's Roost home. Among these creatures are the {{Lore Link|skeever}}s of {{Lore Link|Skyrim}}, the {{Lore Link|alit}}s of {{Lore Link|Morrowind}}, the {{Lore Link|thunderbug}}s of {{Lore Link|Valenwood}}, and {{Lore Link|Giant Snake|giant snake}}s.{{ref|{{Cite book|Bolga's Guide to Island Beasts}}}} The rare {{Lore Link|Pyandonean Ray}} can be caught off the coasts, and {{Lore Link|Harpy|harpies}} and {{Lore Link|senche}} can also be encountered.{{ref|name=ESO}}
The island was once ruled by a powerful Maormer mage named {{Lore Link|Uldor}}, who used his magic to steal and wear the bodies of his victims, entrapping their spirits forever. Among his victims were a crew of {{Lore Link|Nord}} raiders from {{Lore Link|Windhelm}} who attempted to loot the island. Uldor was eventually sealed within the {{Lore Link|Temple of the Mourning Springs}} along with his victims when the Khajiit created an [[Lore:Artifacts|artifact]] known as the {{Lore Link|Mourning Stone}}.{{ref|name=ESO}}
The Khajiit of the island eventually signed the {{Lore Link|Treaty of Khenarthi's Roost}} with the Maormer, wherein an Ambassador of King {{Lore Link|Orgnum}} would share power with the Mayor of Mistral. The treaty sought to end Maormer piracy in the region in return for fifteen percent of all registry fees and excises. The usually seafaring Maormer would occupy a full-time embassy in Mistral, and the Maormer festival of {{Lore Link|Serpent's Glory}} would be celebrated with a feast every year.{{ref|name=ToKR}} However, the wording of this treaty unfairly favored the Maormer, and acts of piracy continued.{{ref|name=ESO}}
In {{Year|2E 580}},{{ref|{{Cite book|The Chorrol Crier}}}}{{Ref|name=AUQ|{{Cite book|Ayrenn – The Unforeseen Queen}}}} the first {{Lore Link|Aldmeri Dominion}} was formed by an alliance between the {{Lore Link|Altmer}} of {{Lore Link|Summerset Isles|Summerset}} and the {{Lore Link|Bosmer}} of Valenwood. The Khajiit of {{Lore Link|Elsweyr}} were soon invited to join, although the Maormer presence on Khenarthi's Roost delayed the island's membership invitation until {{Year|2E 582}}, when a Dominion delegation was sent to the island. The Dominion quickly began spreading propaganda among the Khajiiti islanders, and each moon sugar plantation came under inspection in an attempt to weed out illegal {{Lore Link|skooma}} production and end the smuggling of the island's Crosstree bandit gang. The delegation was headed by {{Lore Link|the Silvenar}} {{Lore Link|Edhelorn}} and the {{Lore Link|Green Lady}} {{Lore Link|Finoriell}}, the embodiment of the Bosmer people. However, the Dominion ships were wrecked on the coast by a mysterious storm, and several crewmembers were abducted by the {{Lore Link|Sea Vipers}}, Maormer pirates. The Great Tree became infested with {{Lore Link|kwama}} after this storm when a trading ship was wrecked nearby, although the tree's {{Lore Link|spriggan}} guardians managed to tame the kwama to nurture the tree's roots. Dominion researchers also foolishly removed the Mourning Stone from Uldor's tomb, causing his spirit to briefly plague the island with undead until the temple was resealed.{{ref|name=ESO}}
Viewing Khenarthi's Roost as Maormer territorial waters, Ambassador {{Lore Link|Ulondil}} was justifiably outraged at the Altmer proposition of the island joining the Dominion. The embassy refused to allow the delegates to view their treaty, forcing Dominion agents to steal it. Once the bias was revealed to Mayor {{Lore Link|Harrani}}, the Khajiit began to consider the Dominion's offer. Seeing that all hope was lost, the Maormer assassinated the Silvenar and began a ritual to summon {{Lore Link|Storm-Slave}}, a powerful {{Lore Link|Storm Atronach|storm atronach}}, with the intention to destroy Mistral. The Dominion prevented this and drove the Maormer off, allowing the grateful Khajiit to join the alliance.{{ref|name=ESO}} The Maormer paid for their treachery soon afterwards, when the dying Finoriell swam the whole way to {{Lore Link|Pyandonea}} and spent her remaining life killing indiscriminately.{{ref|name=ONFinoriell|[[Online:Finoriell|Finoriell]]'s dialogue in ESO}}<noinclude>
