The Year 2920 , Vol . 6 Content . 2920 : The Last Year of the First Era By Carlovac Townway 15 First Seed , 2920 Caer Suvio , Cyrodiil From their vantage point high in the hills , the Emperor Reman III could still see the spires of the Imperial City , but he knew he was far away from hearth and home . Lord Glavius had a luxurious villa , but it was not close to being large enough to house the entire army within its walls . Tents lined the hillsides , and the soldiers were flocking to enjoy his lordship ' s famous hot springs . Little wonder : winter chill still hung in the air . " Prince Juilek , your son , is not feeling well . " When Potentate Versidue - Shaie spoke , the Emperor jumped . How that Akaviri could slither across the grass without making a sound was a mystery to him . " Poisoned , I ' d wager , " grumbled Reman . " See to it he gets a healer . I told him to hire a taster like I have , but the boy ' s headstrong . There are spies all around us , I know it . " " I believe you ' re right , Your Imperial Majesty , " said Versidue - Shaie . " These are treacherous times , and we must take precautions to see that Morrowind does not win this war , either on the field or by more insidious means . That is why I would suggest that you not lead the vanguard into battle . I know you would want to , as your illustrious ancestors Reman I , Brazollus Dor , and Reman II did , but I fear it would be foolhardy . I hope you do not mind me speaking frankly like this . " " No , " nodded Reman . " I think you ' re right . Who would lead the vanguard then ? " " I would say Prince Juilek , if he were feeling better , " replied the Akaviri . " Failing that , Storig of Farrun , with Queen Naghea of Riverhold at left flank , and Warchief Ulaqth of Lilmoth at right flank . " " A Khajiit at left flank and an Argonian at right , " frowned the Emperor . " I never do trust beastfolk . " The Potentate took no offense . He knew that " beastfolk " referred to the natives of Tamriel , not to the Tsaesci of Akavir like himself . " I quite agree , Your Imperial Majesty , but you must agree that they hate the Dunmer . Ulaqth has a particular grudge after all the slave - raids on his lands by the Duke of Mournhold . " The Emperor conceded it was so , and the Potentate retired . It was surprising , thought Reman , but for the first time , the Potentate seemed trustworthy . He was a good man to have on one ' s side . 18 First Seed , 2920 Ald Erfoud , Morrowind " How far is the Imperial Army ? " asked Vivec . " Two days ' march , " replied his lieutenant . " If we march all night tonight , we can get higher ground at the Pryai tomorrow morning . Our intelligence tells us the Emperor will be commanding the rear , Storig of Farrun has the vanguard , Naghea of Riverhold at left flank , and Ulaqth of Lilmoth at right flank . " " Ulaqth , " whispered Vivec , an idea forming . " Is this intelligence reliable ? Who brought it to us ? " " A Breton spy in the Imperial Army , " said the lieutenant and gestured towards a young , sandy - haired man who stepped forward and bowed to Vivec . " What is your name and why is a Breton working for us against the Cyrodiils ? " asked Vivec , smiling . " My name is Cassyr Whitley of Dwynnen , " said the man . " And I am working for you because not everyone can say he spied for a god . And I understood it would be , well , profitable . " Vivec laughed , " It will be , if your information is accurate . "
