Hier een stuk verhaal vanaf het eind van Oblivion tot het moment dat je begint in Skyrim. Wel interessant, wist niet dat The Empire uiteindelijk zo klein is geworden.
First Century
4E 0 — End of the Oblivion Crisis The banishing of Mehrunes Dagon from Tamriel by the Champion of Cyrodiil, Martin Septim, and the avatar of Akatosh ends the Oblivion Crisis. The Septim bloodline ends and the Amulet of Kings is destroyed. The Third Era ends, marking the beginning of the Fourth. The Fourth Era begins with no Emperor on the throne of Tamriel. High Chancellor Ocato, the Elder Council, and the Blades try to maintain order. The provinces start to take opportunities on the state of Empire.
4E ?? — Red Mountain erupts; Vvardenfell is destroyed. In Vivec's absence, the Ministry of Truth becomes unstable. Vuhon creates an Ingenium that uses at first dozens of dying souls, then a small number of living ones to stabilize the rock. The soul of Sul's wife Ilzheven was among them. In a fight to free her, the Ingenium is destroyed and the rock crashes into Vivec with all the energy it originally had. The impact causes Red Mountain to erupt and destroys the entire island of Vvardenfell, as well as causing massive destruction to the rest of the province.
4E ?? — The Empire Collapses Black Marsh secedes from the Empire; it is soon followed by Elsweyr. The Thalmor seize control of the old Aldmeri Dominion (Valenwood and the Summerset Isle). The Argonians invade and conquer Morrowind after the eruption of Red Mountain.
4E ?? — Titus Mede is crowned the new emperor by conquest
4E 18 — Prince Attrebus Mede is born.
4E 23 — Annaïg Hoïnart is born.
