Remanada Content . Chapter 1 : Sancre Tor and the Birth of Reman . And in those days the empire of the Cyrodiils was dead , save in memory only , for through war and slug famine and iniquitous rulers , the west split from the east and Colovia ' s estrangement lasted some four hundreds of years . And the earth was sick with this sundering . Once - worthy western kings , of Anvil and Sarchal , of Falkreath and Delodiil , became through pride and habit as like thief - barons and forgot covenant . In the heartland things were no better , as arcanists and false moth - princes lay in drugged stupor or the studies of vileness and no one sat on the Throne in dusted generations . Snakes and the warnings of snakes went unheeded and the land bled with ghosts and deepset holes unto cold harbors . It is said that even the Chim - el Adabal , the amulet of the kings of glory , had been lost and its people saw no reason to find it . And it was in this darkness that King Hrol set out from the lands beyond lost Twil with a sortie of questing knights numbered eighteen less one , all of them western sons and daughters . For Hrol had seen in his visions the snakes to come and sought to heal all the borders of his forebears . And to this host appeared at last a spirit who resembled none other than El - Estia , queen of ancient times , who bore in her left hand the dragonfire of the aka - tosh and in her right hand the jewels of the covenant and on her breast a wound that spilt void onto her mangled feet . And seeing El - Estia and Chim - el Adabal , Hrol and his knights wailed and set to their knees and prayed for all things to become as right . Unto them the spirit said , I am the healer of all men and the mother of dragons , but as you have run so many times from me so shall I run until you learn my pain , which renders you and all this land dead . And the spirit fled from them , and they split among hills and forests to find her , all grieving that they had become a villainous people . Hrol and his shieldthane were the only ones to find her , and the king spoke to her , saying , I love you sweet Aless , sweet wife of Shor and of Auri - el and the Sacred Bull , and would render this land alive again , not through pain but through a return to the dragon - fires of covenant , to join east and west and throw off all ruin . And the shieldthane bore witness to the spirit opening naked to his king , carving on a nearby rock the words AND HROL DID LOVE UNTO A HILLOCK before dying in the sight of their union . When the fifteen other knights found King Hrol , they saw him dead after his labors against a mound of mud . And they parted each in their way , and some went mad , and the two that returned to their homeland beyond Twil would say nothing of Hrol , and acted ashamed for him . But after nine months that mound of mud became as a small mountain , and there were whispers among the shepherds and bulls . A small community of believers gathered around that growing hill during the days of its first churning , and they were the first to name it the Golden Hill , Sancre Tor . And it was the shepherdess Sed - Yenna who dared climb the hill when she heard his first cry , and at its peak she saw what it had yielded , an infant she named Reman , which is " Light of Man . " And in the child ' s forehead was the Chim - el Adabal , alive with the dragon - fires of yore and divine promise , and none dared obstruct Sed - Yenna when she climbed the steps of White - Gold Tower to place the babe Reman on his Throne , where he spoke as an adult , saying I AM CYRODIIL COME . Chapter 2 : The Chevalier Renald , Blade of the Pig . And in the days of interregnum , the Chim - el Adabal was lost again amid the petty wars of gone - heathen kings . West and east knew no union then and all the lands outside of them saw Cyrodiil as a nest of snakemen and snakes . And for four more hundreds of years did the seat of Reman stay sundered , with only the machinations of a group of loyal knights keeping all its borders from throwing wide . These loyal knights did go by no name then , but were known by their eastern swords and painted eyes , and it was whispered that they were descended from the bodyguard of old Reman . One of their number , called the Chevalier Renald , discovered the prowess of Cuhlecain and then supported him towards the throne . Only later would it be revealed that Renald did this thing to come closer to Talos , anon Stormcrown , the glorious yet - emperor Tiber Septim ; only later still , that he was under instruction by a pig . Long glory was wife to the all the knights of the dragon - banner , who knew no other and were brothers before beyond many seas and now were brothers under the law named the blade - surrender of Pale Pass . And having vampire blood these brother - knights lived for ages through and past Reman and then kept guard over his ward , the coiled king , Versidue - Shaie . The snake - captain Vershu became Renald became the protector of the northern west when the black dart was hooked into Savirien - Chorak .
