Dragonstar Dragonstar or Drangstor is one of the nine major kingdoms located in Hammerfell and it is the capital of the northern reaches of Craglorn . Dragonstar sits in disputed territory and it has been sought out by the Redguards and the Nords for many generations . Description . Geography . Dragonstar is located in Upper Craglorn , and this region has been disputed over by the Nord s in Skyrim and the Redguard s in Hammerfell . Dragonstar is also located in Crowns Territory which consists of a lot of Northern Hammerfell . One may consider the region a part of the Reach since it is located in the Druadach Mountains and just south of the Eastern Reach and its capital , Markarth . Dragonstar ' s origins date back to the Second Era , sometime during the Interregnum where many Nord Miners settled in the area to mine a rare material known as Nirncrux . Dragonstar grew to a small mining village that offered work to incoming passerby . As time went one , Dragonstar grew prosperous to the point where it became a large city that rivaled the likes of Elinhir and Whiterun . Dragonstar became a large city with strong walls to support it . It was divided into two districts , Dragonstar West is located towards Hammerfell while Dragonstar East is based towards Skyrim . Dragonstar West became the center of commerce and economics in Dragonstar City . Places such as the Dragon Fountain can be found in the middle of Dragonstar West ; the Bazaar is located south of the Fountain . The City Gate leads to the Dragonfields and the rest of Hammerfell . Dragonstar East is where many warriors gather as well as those seeking divine aid . The Dragonstar Arena Pit as well as the Fighters Guild are located here . The local Temple is also here . History . Second Era . The Dragonstar Caravan Company & the Covenant . During the Interregnum , Dragonstar was a relatively new settlement that was owned by the Dragonstar Caravan Company , a trading company that rivaled the infamous Gold Coast Trading Company . At the same time , alliances from all corners of Tamriel fought each other for the Seat of Sundered Kings and the Imperial City . The Daggerfall Covenant was an alliance between the Breton s of High Rock , the Redguards of Hammerfell , and the Orsimer of Wrothgar . Craglorn at the time was not under a centralized authority and because of it , the cities of Dragonstar , Belkarth , and Elinhir were not a part of the Covenant and the Alliance War . These settlements other than Elinhir were formed by criminals trying to start an empire and escape the Imperial Laws from the east . Dragonstar was cleaner than the town of Belkarth . The Dragonstar Caravan Company later moved their headquarters to the city of Ska ' vyn since there is more traction in the Kingdom of Ska ' vyn then in uncharted Dragonstar Territory . Operation Mantikora and the Iron Orcs . In 2E 582 , Dragonstar ' s Miners were contracted by Regent Cassipia to mine Nirncrux from the Upper Craglorn mountains . Cassipia learned that the Nirncrux Element had a significant connection to the Celestial s and that she can utilize the Nirncrux to enhance the Iron Orcs armor in her favor . Cassipia was a member of the Scaled Court , a group that worship the Celestial , The Serpent . After she had learned about the power of Nirncrux , she sought to become as powerful as a Celestial and to replace the Serpent as the leader of the Scaled Court . She manipulated a traveler known as the Vestige but slaying a creature referred to as the Mantikora and defeating Exarch Braadoth of the Iron Orcs . She was defeated in the ruins of Reinhold ' s Retreat by the Vestige and other warriors . Third Era . The Shadow of Conflict ; War of Bend ' r - Mahk . During the Imperial Simulacrum in 3E 397 , the Nords of Skyrim crossed the Reach and invaded the neighboring nations of the Western Reach such as Elinhir and Jehanna in a war known as the War of Bend ' r - Mahk . The city of Dragonstar was heavily affected by the war , and as a result , the city changed drastically from before the war . The Skyrim Invaders led by General Duvais took the Eastern District of Dragonstar and used it as a base while the Hammerfell Defenders led by Meya Violet kept the Western District under Crowns control . Many of Dragonstar ' s citizens were affected in the Battle and were left homeless in its wake . Pergan Asuul used the war to nurture a creature made of pure Shadow Magic known as the Umbra ' Keth otherwise known as the Shadow of Conflict . A hero known as the Soul of Conflict used an artifact known as the Star Teeth to defeat Asuul and the Umbra ' Keth at the Crypt of Hearts . The Conflict in Dragonstar ended , and the people began to rebuild from the destruction . Dragonstar however , remained divided for quite some time . Dragonstar during the Imperial Simulacrum . Throughout the rest of the Imperial Simulacrum from 3E 389 to 3E 399 , Emperor Uriel Septim VII was imprisoned along with Talin Warhaft in the Deadlands by Jagar Tharn . Tharn planned for months to capture the throne , and he was able to achieve so in the span of ten years . Tharn had a powerful weapon called the Staff of Chaos , and he split it into nine pieces and scattered them across Tamriel , the staff was the only thing keeping Uriel Septim and Warhaft in Oblivion . A warrior escaped his clutches and traveled all corners of Tamriel to retrieve the missing pieces . The hero was known as the Eternal Champion , and he assembled the staff and defeated Jagar Tharn at the Imperial Palace . The Eternal Champion had at one point visited the city of Dragonstar in their quest to recover the pieces . The city of Dragonstar was under the rule of King Ohatan . The Waning Years of the Oblivion Crisis . Sometime around the Oblivion Crisis , the territories of the Western Reach were still being fought over between the Nords and the Western Human Races . The cities of Elinhir and Jehanna continued to fight while the town of Dragonstar continued to be divided into the West and East . Terrorist organizations began to spring up all across the Dragonstar Kingdom to fight against one another . With these constant terrorist attacks , it can be assumed that Dragonstar was destroyed amidst the Oblivion Crisis .
