This book only contains the annals and history of the Ancient Akavir , or the Dragonguard , of Sky Haven Temple of the years 2800 – 2819 ( 4329 – 4338 in the Old Calendar ) , and is just a small part of a larger tome that comprises the entire history of the Akavir Dragonguard of Sky Haven Temple . Content . Scribe ' s Note : I have faithfully copied the following from the Annals of the Dragonguard of Sky Haven Temple for the years 2800 - 2819 ( 4329 - 4338 in the Old Calandar ) , Brother Annulus , 2E 568 . 1E 2801 : Emperor Kastav again ordered the Dragonguard to hostages from Markarth and Hroldan to ensure that the jarls meet their conscription quotas . Our Master ' s official protest was denied , as usual . This will make relations with the local populace more difficult , although the " hostages " are in fact housed and trained with the other acolytes . 2804 : Upon the outbreak of the Winterhold Rebellion , our Master refused orders to send the Dragonguard out to help suppress the rebellion . The Emperor ordered our supplies cut off , but we have made arrangements with the local Reachmen and are effectively self - sufficient . The Grandmaster supports our Master ' s action on the grounds that it violates the Oath of Allegiance . 2805 : The Temple is besieged . The fool Kalien was sent to Winterhold and sacked the city . There was a reason he was denied entry into the Dragonguard . But the local people do not count the difference between Akaviri . All our years of building up trust with people of Skyrim are now for naught . 2806 : We learned of the accession of Reman II ( of blessed name ) when the siege of the Temple was lifted . We provided the honor guard for the Emperor ' s first visit to Skyrim , a great boost to the Temple ' s prestige . 2809 : We received reports of a dragon in the east . Scouts were sent immediately , and signs of it were discovered , but it fled at our approach . The survivors have grown wary indeed . 2812 : We finally received permission from the Emperor to begin construction of Alduin ' s Wall . Craftsmen from Temples across the Empire have arrived and begun the great work , overseen by our own Master , as is only fitting , as she is unmatched in her dragonlore . 2813 : Work on Alduin ' s Wall progresses . The Master dismissed several craftsmen ( from a western Temple that I do not need to name , they are so well known for stiff - necked pride ) , which has delayed the work , but there must be no compromise . Alduin ' s Wall is our gift to those that come after us . 2815 : The Grandmaster visited the Temple in the summer to view the progress of the Wall . He has received complaints about the expense ( there is no doubt where these originate ) , but he was so impressed by the Wall even in its half - finished state that he gave our Master a Writ of Requisition under the Emperor ' s seal . There will be no more delays ! Further reports of dragons in the east which could not be verified . 2818 : An auspicious year . Alduin ' s Wall was finished , a dragon was located and slain , and Emperor Reman II visited to officially dedicate the Wall . The Blood Seal was consecrated in the presence of all the Dragonguard of Skyrim , a great honor with which few Temples can boast .
