The city - state of Alcaire is located north of the coast , towards the Wrothgarian Mountains and the Rivenspire region in the north . The Fiefdom of Alcaire has a large blotch of land in the west , but as it goes towards the Kingdom of Wayrest , the fiefdom becomes thinner , until it reaches the County of Menevia . The Alcaire West is bountiful , a large river starting from Alcaire flows through the region , eventually landing onto the Iliac Bay , farms and other settlements tend to inhabit around this riverway . South of this land is several islands , where the Koeglin Lighthouse shines brightly , guiding ships to Koeglin Village . Bordering the fiefdom are several other nations , including Koegria and the earlier mentioned Menevia . After the Warp in the West in 3E 417 , the Fiefdom of Alcaire was annexed into the Kingdom of Wayrest , which extends all the way to the Fiefdom of Anticlere .

The Alcaire Knights served the Fiefdom of Alcaire for many generations , ever since the various knightly orders had driven the Direnni Hegemony back to the Isle of Balfiera . Ushering in the rule of the Bretons over High Rock and the Western Reach that we know . Sir Byric of the Flame served the Alcaire Knights and the Fiefdom in their weakest time . In 2E 542 , the Reachmen had invaded Alcaire with unknown intent , overpowering the Bretons of Alcaire . To repel the invading force , Sir Byric had burnt the vast fields of the region , demolishing the Reachmen Horde and protecting Alcaire Castle . In honor of his bold actions and determination , the Alcaire Knights were renamed into the Knights of the Flame , becoming a well - known group throughout Greater Bretony and the province of High Rock , eventually spreading to Anticlere . Rise of the Black Drake ; Siege of Wayrest . In 2E 541 , Durcorach the Black Drake and his Reachmen Horde had invaded the province of High Rock from the Western Reach . In its wake , they took control of the nearby city - states of Evermore and Hallin ' s Stand . As time went on , the Black Drake Invasion had reached the region of Stormhaven , causing the Bretons of the area to go into a state of panic . All over Stormhaven , including Alcaire , people would evacuate to the city - state of Wayrest , hoping for protection from the Reachmen Horde . Eventually , the Siege of Wayrest had begun , ongoing for fifty - seven days . The crowded conditions in Wayrest were but a small price to pay for the protection of Wayrest . Because the Reachmen lacked siege weapons or battleships , the Siege of Wayrest ended in a stalemate , forcing the Horde to advance westward to the region of Glenumbra and the city - state of Daggerfall . Wayrest was saved , and the Reachmen Horde was defeated at the city gates of Daggerfall . Out of the battle came the Daggerfall Covenant , one of the strongest alliances in the continent .

Lucky for Dabienne , an estranged warrior had arrived on the scene and was tasked by the Knight to uncover this mystery . The traveler spoke with Constable Pascal , who felt that Dame Dabienne was an imposter , sent to enslave the town . Messenger Cordier was supposed to give the Constable a message saying that Dame Dabienne was arriving onto Koeglin Village . When the warrior rescued Cordier from a nearby slaver ' s ship , he told the message to Pascal , but despite this , the Constable would not let Dabienne free . Constable Pascal still does not believe in Dame Dabienne , citing too many coincidences . The warrior continues around town , to deal with situations to free the Knight . Eventually , Pascal suspected the warrior as well , who would then continue to investigate Koeglin for Pascal ' s paranoid behavior , through conversing with his former lover , Sabyssa the Blacksmith , it was revealed that a Supernal Dreamer had left Pascal ' s home one night . The traveler leaves to enter Pascal ' s home , discovering a Dremora Churl and a daedric idol underneath his bed . Constable Pascal was apprehended and Dame Dabienne was freed .

To further establish the bond between High Rock and Hammerfell , Nathaniel had married Lakana . This newly - established relationship prompted King Fahara ' jad to send a group of Alik ' r Warriors to safeguard the area . However , this brought controversy to the people of Alcaire and even the Knights of the Flame . Dame Falhut believed that the Alik ' r Army was sent to attack the Bretons . The traveler was directed by Falhut to Sir Hughes , who was safeguarding the Duke and Duchess in Castle Alcaire , who was annoyed by Falhut ' s accusations and orders to the Alik ' r , but another problem had arrived , someone was sending messages to King Fahara ' jad from within the Castle , using the codename , Almadine .

Duchess Lakana mourned the loss of General Thoda , but she believes that Dame Falhut did not work alone . Both the warrior and Sir Hughes worked together to uncover the accomplices . Sir Hughes had sent the traveler to his home , to meet with him after speaking with the Duchess . Upon arriving at his home , the traveler discovered Envoy Darima , Lakana ' s messenger tied up , fearing for Lakana ' s safety . The traveler hurried to Castle Alcaire to find Lakana dead by Sir Hughes ' hands . Sir Hughes fled to Firebrand Keep , home to the Knights of the Flame . Battle of Firebrand Keep ; the Omen of Fear . After escaping Alcaire Castle , Sir Hughes had ordered an attack on the Alik ' ran Army , but this had left the Knights of the Flame divided .
