The Crowns The Crowns are a faction in Hammerfell . They are the descendants of the noble Na - Totambu s , who ventured to Hammerfell after the Ra - Gada , or Forebears , paved the way following the sinking of Yokuda . They were in a civil war with the Forebears until they united to drive back and defeat the Aldmeri Dominion in the Fourth Era . They are confirmed to appear in , where they have temporarily put aside their hostility towards the Forebears due to the threat from Molag Bal . The Crowns worship traditional Yokudan gods , such as Ruptga , Tu ' whacca , and Zeht . Religion . The Crowns , unlike The Forebears , stick true to the Yokudan Gods . As such , their religion is as listed below . History . First Era . After the Ra Gada had cleared the way for the King of Yokuda , the Crowns first settled the city of Sentinel . Crown descendants of the Ra Gada who came from Yath had also settled in the Elven city of Salas En , until the Thrassian Plague broke out . Under the Reman Empire , the Crowns and Forebears were truly formed , this republic only lasted until the end of the Second Empire , as afterwards , control was returned to the Na - Totambu , and their High King . Under the rules of the High King , the capital was moved from Hegathe to Sentinel . Second Era . During the Tiber Wars the Crowns and Forebears were originally united under High King Thassad II , but this changed when the King died . The death of the King resulted in a Civil War between the Crowns and the Forebears , with the Forebears being led by Baron Volag , and the Crowns being led by the heir of Thassad , Prince A ' Tor . Though originally being beaten back by the Forebears , the Crowns crushed the Forebears when they reformed and fought back , pushing the Forebears back across the Alik ' r desert . The Forebears , now fearfull of defeat , decided to sign a pact with Emperor Tiber Septim . In return for the aid of the Imperial Legion s , the Empire would be given some border territory of Hammerfell . Tiber Septim agreed , and sent his Legions to Hammerfell . Many Crowns deserted as a result of the stength of the Legions , as the Crowns were getting crushed and pushed back . Prince A ' Tor himself died during the Battle of Hunding Bay , and after this , the Crowns were beaten . At the end of the War , Baron Volag dissapeared , which resulted in the Empire claiming all of Hammerfell and sending its Legions to watch over it . This was eventually turned around when a Crown loyalist group , the Restless League , killed Amiel Richton and took over Stros M ' kai , after which Baron Volag reclaimed Sentinel . As a result , the Emperor would sail to Stros M ' Kai to negotiate the terms of the Treaty of Stros M ' kai with Crown representative Iszara and Baron Volag of the Foreberas , resulting in Hammerfell being less of a subject to the Empire . Third Era . During the War of Bend ' r - Mahk , the Crowns were attacked by the Nord s of Skyrim , who conqeured Elinhir and half of Dragonstar from the Crowns who defended it . This is partially attributed to the Crowns not aiding the Forebears cities of Rihad and Taneth during the invasion by the Camoran Usurper . In 3E 432 the worship of Satakal was backed by king Lhotun , but was not supported by either Crown or Forebear . As a result , a military campaign was fought by some Crowns , which proved succesful , as they reclaimed Totambu from the kingdom of Sentinel . It is unknown if the Crowns were able to hold onto this land , as it was surrounded on all sides by the territory of Sentinel . The Crowns in easter Hammerfell were less concerned with Sentinel , and tried to reclaim Elinhir and Dragonstar from the Nords , though little progress was made . Fourth Era . In the year 4E 168 , the Crowns and Forebears were in civil war as Emperor Titus Mede II was crowned . When in 4E 171 the Great War broke out , most of Hammerfell ' s coastline was quickly overrun by the Aldmeri forces . Of the cities along the coast , only Hegathe , a Crown City , still held out . When a Forebear army from Sentinel broke the Aldmeri siege on Hegath in 173 , the Crowns and Forebears stood united , and continued to fight the Aldmeri until the signing of the Second Treaty of Stros M ' kai in 4E 180 .
