- The Elder Scrolls: The Aedra-worshiping Imperial Cult tends toward Saintly Church, while Morrowind's Tribunal Temple, worshiping a triad of Physical Gods, is something of a Scam Religion (corrupt leaders, but the worshipers can be anywhere on the scale). By Skyrim the Tribunal Temple has become the New Temple as a result of the aforementioned Tribunal of Physical Gods either being killed or going missing. From the limited exposure to it, it seems to be fairly similar to the old Temple, albeit with the former Daedric Anticipations of the Tribunal slotted back in on the top as Reclamations, and the Tribunal demoted to saints.
