Bal Molagmer, or "Stone Fire Men," who brought the light of justice to the land start to reappear after their mysterious disappearance early in third Era. The Camonna Tong, a crime syndicate on Vvardenfell, is eventually absorbed and controlled by House Hlaalu. The monopoly of magic services by Mages Guild is ended, and the House Telvanni, with the help of House Redoran, is officially permitted to offer the same services. Galom Daeus, the headquarters of the vampire clan Berne, is wiped out by the Tribunal Temple. Some time after the completion of the game's storyline, both the Nerevarine and Lord Vivec disappear and Morrowind is ruled solely by King Helseth. Vivec agrees to a trial, which he uses to admit his guilt in Nerevar's murder and get revenge on Azura before disappearing. Because of the secrecy of this trial, several rumors have sprung up about his disappearance. The Nerevarine, in turn, is believed to have gone to Akavir. Helseth forms an alliance with House Dres through marriage. Helseth then renounces the slave trade and reforms the Grand Council. Indoril and Redoran cannot embrace this new rule and the power of both Great Houses wanes in the coming years. House Redoran is caught in the bloody dispute with the Nords of Skyrim. Meanwhile, in other provinces: Skooma illegal trading has increased significantly in Elsweyr, masterminded by Renrijra Krin, a Khajiiti criminal group. In Summurset Isle, conflict between traditionalists and a group known as the Beautiful escalates to acts of terrorism on the part of the latter. At the same time, previously sacrilegious worship of Daedra lords gains popularity, and Summurset starts to boycott Imperial goods. Many Argonians return to Black Marsh as foreign settlers begin to leave. Fort Swampmoth is abandoned by the Empire. |

| 3E 433-3E ??? | The Oblivion Crisis. A group of assassins attack the Imperial Palace. Uriel Septim VII's sons and heirs (Crown Prince Geldall, Prince Enman and Prince Ebel) are slain. While in the escape route via Imperial City dungeon, the fate of the Emperor intertwines with a prisoner. Somehow Uriel has predicted the event and before his death, he entrusts the Amulet of Kings to the prisoner to be delivered to the Grandmaster of the Blades, Jauffrey, and to seek the last true heir of the Septim Dynasty. The prisoner then plays a major role in recapturing Kvatch from the Daedric horde. The prisoner is then renown as the Hero of Kvatch. The hero with the help of the Blades uncovers the plot of a Daedric Cult Mythic Dawn. The cult tries to bring Mehrunes Dagon to Tamriel, and reshapes the Mundus. The hero successfully brings the heir of Uriel known as Brother Martin to the Cloud Ruler Temple; the Blades takes over the job to secure the heir. Unfortunately, the Mythic Dawn has successfully taken the Amulet of Kings. Shortly, the force of Oblivion is unleashed throughout Tamriel. In Skyrim, the force of Daedra strikes almost all Nordic cities, from the southern Falkreath to Windhelm in the east. The Old Holds (the collective Nordic cities in the north and west) have been defeated. In Morrowind, the force of Oblivion obliterates House Redoran city of Ald'ruhn. House Telvanni fights the Daedra and does their best to close the Oblivion gates, but little is gained. In the Battle of Bruma, the prisoner-turned-hero single-handedly closes the Oblivion Great Gate by capturing the Great Sigil Stone. This effectively closes the gate, and cuts the dreadful Daedric Siege Engine in half. The battle is ended with victory on the Bruma alliance forces. Then the hero manages to recapture the Amulet of Kings and slays the leader of the Mythic Dawn, Mankar Camoran. When Martin and the rest of the company in the route to relight the Dragonfire in the Imperial City Temple of the One, the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon has successfully crossed the barrier between realities and emerged in the Imperial City. Desperately Martin destroys the Amulet of Kings in order to unite the Blood of the Kings and the Divine Essence of Akatosh. Martin dies but his plan works. The Avatar Dragon of Akatosh materializes. The Aedra Akatosh battles the Daedra Mehrunes Dagon on the ruins of the Temple of the One. The Avatar of Akatosh eventually defeats Mehrunes Dagon, but the Dragon Avatar is grievously wounded. With its remaining power the Dragon Avatar closes the barrier between realities once more. The Dragon Avatar is turned to stone after draining all its remaining power. The great Dragon statue now stands in the middle of the ruined Temple of the One. Martin, the last heir of the Septim Dynasty is no more, and the Empire is once again without an Emperor. The Elder Council under the leadership of Councilor Ocato tries to uphold the crumbling Empire. The hero is declared as the Champion of Cyrodiil. This is the end of the Third Era. This is the story of the TES4: Oblivion. Source: Oblivion Storyline. Several other events that worth noted: The eternal war between Necromancers and Mages Guild finally ended with the death of Necromancer king, the King of Worms Mannimarco as well as the Archmage Hannibal Traven. Hannibal Traven sacrificed himself in order to protect the champion of Mages Guild from the power of Mannimarco, thus the champion eventually manages to destroy the King of Worms. The future of Necromancer Guild is in question. The Thieves Guild under the Gray Fox has successfully stolen one of the Elder Scrolls. The Gray Fox needs the Elder Scrolls to lift Nocturnal's curse on the Cowl of Nocturnal. The curse made the wielder's personality be erased from history. With the power of Elder Scrolls to alter history the curse is eventually nullified, but the cowl wielder is still a number one target by any guard. After the great heist, Corvus Umbranox, the missing Count of Anvil mysteriously came back to Anvil. The Benirus Manor in Anvil is cleansed, after many decades being haunted by Lorgren Benirus, its previous owner, and his ghost minions. An obscured report states that there is strife in the underground assassin guild of Dark Brotherhood. Members of the Black Hand and the Listener himself are slain. A traitor to the guild manipulates a new member to systemically slay all the important members of the assassin guild. Although the traitor is finally defeated, but the Dark Brotherhood is more or less crippled by this internal strife. The Fighters Guild faces a direct competition from Blackwood Company. The new guild of fighters is more discipline, efficient and stronger. One of the members of the Fighters Guild uncovers the mystery behind the mercenary group. The Blackwood Company uses Hist Sap potions extracted from a sickly Hist tree that brought down to Leyawiin from Black Marsh. The potion makes the people who drank it ferocious, bloodthirsty and unable to think clearly. The Hist tree is finally destroyed as well as the Blackwood Company. Agronak gro-Malog, the Grand Champion of Imperial City Arena is defeated. It turns out that the old Grand Champion is a son of a Vampire lord and an Orc female. This is the first known relation between a Vampire and a normal person that resulted a child. Umaril the Unfeathered, the ancient foe of Pelinal Whitestrake, resurfaces. He brings the army of Aurorans, the minions of Meridia. Before he unleashed his full-scale war, he launches moral-breaking attacks to some of the Chapels of Nine Divines, slaying the priests and left messages. The Champion of Cyrodiil guided by a strange prophet embarks on the quest to recover the Crusader's Relics, once the armor and weapons of Pelinal Whitestrake. With these relics the Champion would have chance to defeat the ancient sorcerer-king of Ayleid. The Champion is finally recovered all of the relics and with the final blessing of the divine Talos, he manages to slay Umaril once-and-for-all, and the same time re-establishes the old order of the Knights of the Nine. This is the story of the TES4 Exp: The Knights of the Nine. Source: The Story of the Knights of the Nine. The Greymarch, a thousand year cycle of Sheogorath's curse is on the way. When the exact time arrived, Sheogorath will turn to Jyggalag, the Prince of Order, and wipe his own realm, the Shivering Isles. The Prince summons a hero from Tamriel and tasks him to stop the cycle. Despite of all the hero's efforts, the cycle cannot be stopped. As Sheogorath turns to the Daedric Prince of Order, a full assault of Order begins. Two-rivaled Sheogorath's army, the Seducer and the Golden Saint join forces under the lead of the hero. They defeat Jyggalag, and the cycle of Sheogorath's curse is eventually broken. The hero takes the mantle of the Prince of Madness and rules the realm as Sheogorath. This is the story of the TES4 Exp: Shivering Isles. Source: The Story of Shivering Isles. |
