Relevant Quotes[edit]

"So, who—or what—are the dro-m'Athra? They are Khajiit who have been swayed by Lorkhaj, the Moon Beast, their souls forever corrupted by the Bent Dance. These otherworldly creatures and their Bent Dance are the antithesis of the Khajiit, who prefer their music and dance to be elegant and beautiful. Music and dance are at the heart of the Maw of Lorkhaj story. As you play through the Trial, you'll hear some new songs that are performed (and were recorded) completely in Ta'agra, the Khajiit language."
