Daggerfall was initially founded around the year 1E 246 by invading Nords from Skyrim during the Skyrim Conquests , bringing with them a rough civilization . Numerous legends surround how the Kingdom of Daggerfall got its name . One of such rumors says that the first chieftain threw a dagger and let the spot where it fell act as the border . Skyrim did not hold the city for long , and only held control for about a century before the War of Succession made Skyrim lose all of its territory in the other provinces of Tamriel . However , Daggerfall thrived under Nordic rule and thus had an advantage over its neighbors upon independence . The kingdom became a powerhouse for the Nedic Direnni Clan , but still continued to thrive even after the clan lost power in High Rock after the Battle of Glenumbra Moors . By 1E 609 , under the rule of King Thagore , Daggerfall was the main economic , cultural , and military force in High Rock , and it remained so for millennia until the city of Wayrest eventually surpassed it . In 2E 541 , an army of Reachmen under Emperor Durcorach of Cyrodiil , the progenitor of the Longhouse Emperors , invaded High Rock . They began a fifty - seven day siege at Wayrest , before eventually being driven out . They instead assaulted Daggerfall , but were met by the armies of Wayrest . Durcorach was killed by Emeric of Cumberland , and afterwards , the kingdoms of High Rock signed the First Daggerfall Covenant , the terms of which were that if any kingdom was to come under attack , all the other kingdoms would defend it . In 2E 566 , Daggerfall and the other kingdoms reinforced Wayrest when it was assaulted by an army under the command of King Ranser , obeying the terms of the Covenant . When Ranser was defeated , Daggerfall and the other kingdoms signed the Second Daggerfall Covenant , which now included Hammerfell and Orsinium , which was finally granted provincial status by King Emeric . In 2E 582 , King Casimir was almost killed by the Bloodthorn Cult , but his life was saved by the Vestige , who had just arrived in Daggerfall after dropping into the sea off the coast of Stros M ' Kai and brought to the city .
