He ruled over the city of Nenalata when it was a vassal - state of the Alessian Empire , and later went on to found Bisnensel and win the Battle of Glenumbra Moors . He was deposed after a conflict with the Primeval Seekers , a Hermaeus Mora cult . He and his family fled to Balfiera , where he begged refuge of the Direnni . He was captured by Molag Bal shortly after Meridia pushed Delodiil into Coldharbour . He was the last known surviving member of his race , which he explains is possible due to Meridia ' s blessings and Coldharbour ' s time - warping nature . He can initially be found in the Lightless Oubliette , a tower which he was imprisoned in by Molag Bal . After being freed , Dynar takes command of the Fighters Guild , and plays a key role in the Main questline . Dynar dies in the Chapel of Light of wounds received near the end of The Final Assault . Background . Struggles of the Late Ayleid Period . Laloriaran Dynar was born in the Ayleid city state of Nenalata , located in the bays of the Niben , at the mouth of the Silverfish River . His father was personally humiliated by Alessia herself after the Rebellion ' s success . By the time Dynar donned the Crown of Nenalata , the city had gone through rough and dark times , having been forced to abandon slavery , to worship the Divines and to become a vassal state to the First Empire to survive . There was a sense of impending doom surrounding Nenalata . Alessian Order , Ayleid Disorder . The Alessian Order , a monotheistic cult centered on the teachings of the Imga Marukh and the worship of Akatosh forcefully took over the First Empire in 1E 332 , imposing a cruel theocracy . Although Dynar swore loyalty to the new Emperor , the Alessians ' hatred of Elves , especially the Ayleids , led to terrible amounts of death and destruction . By 1E 371 , Nenalata was the only surviving Ayleid city state . Tears for Lost Nenalata . In 1E 372 , the Emperor sent an ultimatum to Dynar , presumably ordering him to leave Cyrodill or be killed . This caused a split in the city ' s population , dividing themselves between those who wanted to stay in the City , known by Dynar as the Intransigents , and those who wanted to stay by his side . Dynar and his followers left the Imperial Province on a dangerous trek , beset by the hateful Alessians and bands of Goblins . By 1E 374 , Nenalata was razed by the Order ' s armies , and all of the Intransigents were massacred . Refugees on the Bjoulsae . Dynar and the surviving Nenalatans found refuge under the wings of the Direnni Hegemony of High Rock . After displacing the Orcs that lived on the Bjoulsae River ' s bays , the Nenalatans founded a new city , made in the image of their old home : Bisnensel - By - The - Lake . Once they had a new home , Dynar and his alliance with the Direnni ensured a friendly relationship with the native Bretons and Orcs . Dynar was worried and horrified by the Reforms and the crimes against Merkind committed by the Order in Cyrodiil . Menace of the Primeval Seekers . Alas , Dynar ' s happiness was not to last . In 1E 453 , the Primeval Seekers , a cult dedicated to the worship of Hermaeus Mora , Daedric Prince of Knowledge slowly and certainly took over Bisnensel , culminating in a coup led by their leader , Uluscant . Dynar and his family were forced to flee to the Isle of Balfiera in 1E 460 . Sanctuary Among the Direnni . In Balfiera , Dynar became a close friend of Prince Aiden Direnni and his cousins , Ryain and Raven . Somewhere between 1E 461 and 1E 477 , the Kingdom of Skyrim declared war on the Hegemony . During a vital battle in 1E 477 , Dynar found his true calling and proved his worth as a master tactician and strategist , inflicting a humilliating defeat to the Nord forces , led by Hoag Merkiller . Approach of the Alessian Horde . In 1E 478 , due to a combination of the Thrassian Plague and the defeat of Emperor Gorieus ' forces at the hands of Rislav Larich The Righteous , and the secession of Western Cyrodill , the Order was severely weakened . Inspired by Rislav , Aiden ' s forces wiped out most of the Alessianists in High Rock , and stopped the Order ' s attempts to bring the Bretons to their side . This actions incensed Gorieus in such a way he invaded High Rock , and his hordes laid waste to the city of Craglorn in 1E 479 , which was an Ayleid city at the time . The Mustering of High Rock . in 1E 480 , Dynar sent an envoy to the Vassal Kings of the Bretons , asking for their aid against the Alessians . The Kings accepted , with one condition : Men would be equals with Mer in the Hegemony . Aiden Direnni reluctantly accepted , and signed the Rights Charter . In a single year , much of the province ' s farmers were conscripted into the army . By 1E 481 , the Order ' s hordes , led by Faolchu the Changeling reached the Glenumbra region , committing horrible atrocities against both Man and Mer . The Battle of Glenumbra Moors . In 1E 482 , the largest battle of High Rock ' s history occurred . With the help of Dynar ' s tactics , and their alliance with the armies of High Rock and Skyrim , the Direnni forces lured Faolchu ' s legion into a trap , and a group of hidden knights killed him . And the fathers of modern Conjuration , Corvus and Calani Direnni summoned terrible creatures upon the Alessian armies , slaughtering them . The demoralized Order forces were routed from High Rock , and their defeat marked the beginning of the downfall of the First Empire , and the rebirth of the Kingdom of Skyrim , by the hands of Ysmir Wulfharth , Hoag ' s successor . Return to Nenalata . Aiden ' s armies pursued the fleeing Alessians all the way to Craglorn , where the survivors were completely wiped out . Two years later , in 1E 484 , Once the threat of the Alessian Order was finally over , Dynar was lured back to Cyrodill by Molag Bal . On his way back to Nenalata , and while he made a stop at the city of Delodiil , where both Men and Mer lived in peace , Molag sprung his trap . Delodiil was besieged by the minions of Molag Bal , who poured out of portals from Coldharbour . While everyone outside the gates were slain , those inside managed to hold the city . It soon became clear that the forces of Molag Bal were too great , and that the city would eventually fall . However , Meridia saw an opportunity to both save Delodiil and fight back . Using the portals Molag Bal had opened , she transported the entire city , with all its inhabitants , into Coldharbour . Unfortunately , due to the enchantments protecting Coldharbour , the inhabitants of the city were scattered all across the realm . Dynar was quickly captured , and was imprisoned inside Coldharbour ' s equivalent to White - Gold Tower , the Lightless Oubliette , where he remained for millennia . Interactions . A Step Back in Time . In Glenumbra , the spirit of Alana Relin has led the Vestige to a crypt that will provide a doorway to the past .
