The Black Fin : Foreign Adventures , Part 4 Content . In the midst of General Keshu ' s continued build - up and improvement of the Ebonheart Pact allied forces , the Black Fin received a summons from Jorunn the Skald - King . We had been training with combined troops near Riften when the runner arrived with the sealed letter . The meeting would take place at Fort Amol , in Eastmarch , in two - day ' s time . Keshu began to make preparations to depart at once . Keshu the Black Fin decided to travel light and fast , taking only a small contingent with her to meet with the Skald - King . I accompanied the General , of course , along with Tee - Wan , Xocin , and the Nord warrior , Kora Greatstorm . Vos - Huruk remained behind to command the troops and continue the training exercises . As our small group approached Fort Amol , we were met a good distance outside the settlement and led in through a hidden trail that bypassed the main roads into and out of the town . We were hurriedly escorted to the jarl ' s manor and taken to a secret meeting room within the large estate . There , standing behind a large table , was Jorunn the Skald - King . I sensed immediately that something was very different from our previous meetings with Jorunn . For one thing , he didn ' t rush to scoop up Keshu in a tremendous hug , and he wasn ' t his usual loud and boisterous self . To be fair , the weight of the crown had taken a toll on the bard - turned - ruler , but he appeared more grave and serious than I had ever seen him . " The Tribunal has sent a dire warning , Black Fin , " Jorunn began . " Almalexia has had a vision . Or maybe it was Vivec ? Who can say ? In any case , they warn that a threat to the Ebonheart Pact is developing and we need to be ready . So , everything you ' ve been doing ? Now you must triple your efforts and prepare us for war . " The new war effort was placed in the hands of three generals , one from each member nation of the Pact . Keshu represented the Argonians , Kora Greatstorm represented the Nords , and Yeveth Noramil represented the Dark Elves . These were the generals that would , together , bolster and prepare the Pact ' s offensive and defensive capabilities for the coming years . And , thanks to the preparations that the Black Fin had already begun , the foundation was in place for the arms buildup to reach the next level in a relatively short amount of time . Before we departed that secret room in the jarl ' s manor , Jorunn had one last nugget of wisdom to pass on to Keshu . " Peace is a fragile , precious thing , Black Fin , " the Skald - King said in a weary voice . " Cherish the time you have with it , for it never lasts long . " Over the next two years , the expanding Pact army faced a number of small tests , including skirmishes with Imperial legions and Daggerfall troops , and it acquitted itself admirably . In many ways , these small encounters led to the War of the Three Banners . When the three separate alliances finally declared war against each other , Keshu led the Pact army into the field . The land of Cyrodiil became the battlefield , and the sound of war echoed throughout the land . For the better part of a year , General Keshu and the Pact army gained ground , lost ground , and gained it back again . We couldn ' t claim victory , as the war continued , but we won many significant battles — much to the chagrin of the Covenant and the Dominion . Then , at the height of her power and popularity , the Black Fin made a decision that surprised us all . " We ' ve done all we can for the Pact , " Keshu explained . " It ' s time for us to go home . " And that was how the Black Fin ' s foreign adventures came to an abrupt end .
