You will find her in the fortress speaking to a pair of New Moon Acolytes.

Trial Master Zayri: "Who guides us to our destiny?"

New Moon Acolyte: "Ra'khajin, Lord of Night."

Trial Master Zayri: "Who protects us from destruction?"

New Moon Acolyte: "The Dragons and their might."

Trial Master Zayri: "Very good. Now, off to the ritual chamber. Lord Laatvulon is waiting."

Trial Master Zayri: "Step forward, initiates. Your trials await."

Speak with her.

"Those who hide, those who fight, those who pray to uncaring gods. They all shall know the glory of the New Moon as it rises.
Will you look up in fear, initiate? Or will you rise with it?"

I want to join the Order of the New Moon.

"Then you must prove yourself worthy.
The Path of the New Moon awaits! Obstacles block your path, but your strength will overcome them. Your cunning will even use them. Turn those obstacles to advantages and open the way forward!"

How do I open the way forward?

"Light the braziers to open pathways closed to you. Strike the sliding stones to open doors that hinder you. Make your way through this trial and you shall become a member of our order.
Enter the chamber below and your trial will begin."

I'll make my way to the chamber below and start the trial.

You can ask her more after receiving your orders.

"Should all go well, you'll have the privilege of fighting at Ra'khajin's side. A great honor, I assure you."

Who's Ra'khajin?

"When the Dragons swept across Elsweyr, the Khajiit trembled. Some hid behind city walls. Others took up arms and fought in vain.
But Ra'khajin, wise above all others, knew we could not hide. That fighting was useless."

So what did Ra'khajin do?

"He bowed down before the Dragon's might and offered to serve them.
Laatvulon accepted and gifted him with glorious power. He named him a Dragon Priest."

So Ra'khajin is a Dragon Priest for Laatvulon.

"Yes, but he also serves another, greater power. He who shall ascend into the sky.
Ra'khajin will lead the masses of Elsweyr to bow before this great power. He shall become Mane under the New Moon. Our ascension shall be glorious!"

Tell me about the Order of the New Moon.

"We are the shepherds of a new era.
Once, Dragons ruled these lands. Their might protected us, their wisdom guided us. But through trickery and deception, a selfish few ended that time of peace. Hakon One-Eye, Khunzar-ri. Traitors!"

So you want the Dragons to rule once more?

"And glorious shall their reign be!
The Three Banners War, the machinations of the Daedra, all will be irrelevant. For centuries we have idled, foolishly worshiping absent gods and dead Moons. But that time comes to an end."

And how does the Order of the New Moon fit into these plans?

"We obey. Laatvulon has already set his divine plan in motion, and soon the New Moon shall rise. All we must do is faithfully serve and await our ascension.
But we will speak more of that after your initiation."

Can you give me more details about this trial I must pass?

"The Path of the New Moon is obstructed by two doors. To unlock them, you must move the sliding stones below onto platforms. Make your way past both doors and you pass the trial.
However, the path you must move through is not a simple one."

What do you mean by that?

"Several barriers block your path. By the brazier's light, these barriers will vanish.
Therein lies the challenge. Which barrier do you open? Where do you move the sliding stone? Which path leads to the platform?"

If I make my way through this path, I'll be allowed to join the Order of the New Moon?

"Precisely.
Prove your cunning by finding the way forward. Display your strength by moving the sliding stones as you wish. Unleash your ferocity and strike down any who stand in your way."

After you speak to the trial master, she addresses Caska.

Trial Master Zayri: "As for our other initiate, you'll take a separate path. Head to the door on your left."

Caska: "What? Why can't we go together?"

Trial Master Zayri: "We need to determine individual worth. Unless you'd rather admit defeat ...."

Caska: "Fine. We'll do it your way."

While climbing the first set of wooden platforms in the second trial chamber, she can be heard preaching.

Trial Master Zayri: "Our path is long and our burden great, but benevolent Dragon lords watch over us."

After the trial, she can be found congratulating those who made it.

Trial Master Zayri: "Lord Laatvulon awaits! Give your power to him and you shall ascend!"

Trial Master Zayri: "Ah, here come our newest members. Just in time."

Speak with her before moving forward.

"Congratulations, acolyte. The Order of the New Moon welcomes you into its fold.
You have come at a fortuitous time. Ra'khajin prepares to lead an attack on Pridehome. You shall join him."

What is Pridehome? Why are we attacking it?

"All will be revealed at a later time. The ceremony has already begun."

What ceremony?

"Do not worry, acolyte. Others will give themselves to the aeonstone and become part of a higher power. We require your strength for the battle ahead.
Come. The ceremony awaits."
