The Chronicles of King Kurog , Book IV Content . As the years went by , I was often used as an intermediary between King Emeric and Chief Kurog . Because of this , and due to my ongoing friendship with the chief , I was privy to many of the most significant events in Kurog ' s life . And not only to the events , but also to Kurog ' s thoughts and feelings , because he continued to trust me and utilize me as a confidant , even writing to me when we were in different parts of the continent . ( But , sadly , no . I never took him up on his offer to become one of his wives . Indeed , Kurog didn ' t take a wife at all until later in his chiefdom , but that ' s a tale for another day . ) Kurog spent a few years consolidating his power , growing his clan and forming alliances with clan chiefs that were willing to support his goals and ideals . It was about this time that Kurog revealed the details of his grand vision . " I will follow in the footsteps of mighty Yashnag and march into Skyrim , " he wrote to me . " I will restore the Orcish kingdom in Falkreath and create an Orcish city to rival the wondrous Wayrest . " While Kurog was busy to the north , King Emeric was dealing with issues in central High Rock . King Ranser of Shornhelm had declared war against Wayrest . After a clandestine meeting with the king , I decided I had to make one more trip to stand at Kurog ' s side . I caught up with Kurog near Dragonstar , as his forces were accumulating in the mountains of western Skyrim . They were having a more difficult time of it than Kurog had anticipated . The Nords , wracked as they were by civil war , nonetheless proved to be capable and courageous fighters . The path to Falkreath was long and arduous , and the rock and snow were going to be bathed in the blood of warriors from both sides before this campaign was done . I sat with Kurog one night , watching the roaring fire , when the clan chief opened up as he did during our times together back in Elsweyr . " These damn Nords , " Kurog said , " if they had a shred of decency they ' d put down their weapons and get out of our way . But no . The clans that aren ' t fighting us are trying to bribe us to aid their cause . They don ' t see us as conquerors . They think we ' re mercenaries ! I ' m beginning to think that my Falkreath dream is going to be crushed by all this snow and ice . Damn the Nords and damn their foul mead ! " I placed a hand on Kurog ' s knee and said softly , " What if I offered you a different , better dream ? And the authority to make that dream a reality ? " Kurog looked at me for a long time . Then he stood , towering over me , and demanded to know what I was talking about . Instead , I reached into my traveling cloak , withdrew a leather document pouch , and handed it to him . He read the contents by the light of the fire . Read it again . And a third time . Then he asked me if this was some sort of trick . I assured him that it wasn ' t a trick . It was an offer . " You help King Emeric , and King Emeric helps you , " I said , and the two of us talked long into the deepening night . In the morning , Kurog had a list of demands for me to take back to Wayrest . I was impressed . He was driving a hard bargain , but he was also offering King Emeric the power necessary to end Ranser ' s War in one fell stroke . I told him I would get the documents to King Emeric as quickly as possible . In return , he promised that his army would be ready and waiting for Emeric ' s signal — but they would not make a move until the signed documents were in Kurog ' s hands . And that was how the Orcs joined the Daggerfall Covenant and Kurog became the King of Wrothgar .
