Stormhaven ( Online ) Stormhaven is a grassy , lowland region in south - central High Rock . Wayrest , the capital of the Daggerfall Covenant and home to High King Emeric , is located in southern Stormhaven in the region of Menevia . Economically , the region is one of the wealthiest and prosperous in all of Tamriel . This is thanks to the port - city of Wayrest on the mouth of the Bjoulsae River and the head of the Iliac Bay , which receives many trading ships every day , and houses many Breton businessmen who practice their trade in Wayrest ' s Market District . Stormhaven also houses many rich industries , including mining , farming , fishing and hunting . A ship to and from the city of Sentinel can be caught at the docks in both Wayrest and Sentinel . The region , being in High Rock , is mostly populated by Bretons , along with a few Redguards , Orsimer , Ogres , Goblins and other races . Despite the signing of the Daggerfall Covenant , most Bretons in the region harbor a deep distrust for the Orsimer . Geography . Stormhaven is a warm , temperate region with features ranging from flat lowlands to dense woods . Alcaire and Menevia are mostly lowlands and contain dozens of small ponds , rivers and lakes combined with sparse woodlands , and the regions are also home to some Dreugh breeding grounds . Gavaudon is a woodland region with mostly minor settlements such as Wind Keep and Shinji ' s Scarp . Stormhaven ' s weather is very sporadic and unpredictable , and the weather can spasmodically from clear , sunny skies to heavy rain and storms . This is how the region also got its name . A bridge over the Bjoulsae River in the east of Stormhaven in Gavaudon leads directly into the city of Evermore . History . Thousands of years ago , an Aldmer i clan called the Direnni discovered the Adamantine Tower on the Isle of Balfiera in the Middle Merethic Era , and claimed both the tower and most of the Iliac Bay region , naming the tower the Direnni Tower in honor of the clan . For a time , they ruled all of High Rock , and at least a part of Stormhaven was part of their kingdom for virtually their entire hegemony . The Direnni frequently interbred with the local Nede s , so frequently that the half - elven race which inevitably resulted from these interbreedings were so numerous that it formed an entirely new race , the Breton s . The Direnni were very few in number , and established a feudal , hierarchical system to control their vast empire , which now included parts of Hammerfell and Skyrim . The Bretons became a privileged middle class within Direnni society . The Aldmer ruled High Rock for untold generations , but following their clash with the Alessian Order during the Battle of Glenumbra Moors in 1E 482 , they lost control of their vast domain and retreated back to their Direnni Tower . The Elves were replaced by the Breton noble families and carried on , eventually joining the First Empire in 1E 1029 and becoming the dominant race in the province . When High Rock decided to secede from the Empire in 1E 2305 , near the Empire ' s dissolution due to the War of Righteousness . Trade . The great cities of Alcaire and Wayrest , along with other , smaller settlements , make Stormhaven one of the two most populous regions of High Rock , the other being Glenumbra . While there is significant traffic between these two regions , Stormhaven also has strong diplomatic ties with Rivenspire to the north , despite the legacy left by King Ranser ' s War . The Supernal Dreamers . In the year 2E 582 , while still recovering from the destruction caused by Ranser ' s War 15 years earlier , Stormhaven was blighted by a cult of Vaermina worshippers called the Supernal Dreamers . What started as a few isolated incidents in Alcaire soon spread across the entirety of Stormhaven : raids , kidnappings , and rumors of Daedric pacts sent fear sweeping through the populace . The Dreamers sought to spread their influence even further and eventually converge their forces on Wayrest itself , and thereby make the Daggerfall Covenant collapse by sending King Emeric himself into a waking nightmare . The cult would have succeeded if it weren ' t for the timely intervention of the Vestige . Stormhaven was also home to the Spirit Wardens , an order of Azura worshippers founded by an Orsimer named Abbot Durak , who claimed to have received a vision of the Azura . The Daedric Prince had told Durak to prepare for a time when the people of Stormhaven would be plagued with endless nightmares , and to protect Stormhaven from Vaermina and her dark plot .
