Failed Incarnate A Failed Incarnate is someone who was the intended Nerevarine , the reincarnation of Indoril Nerevar , as dictated by the Nerevarine Prophecy of Azura . All of these people were thought to be " possessed " by the spirit of the warlord , but had critical flaws that made them destined to fail the fulfillment of the prophecy , and as such were revealed to be false Nerevarines . Many failed incarnates have come and gone since the First Era , but came to an end when the true Nerevarine fulfilled the Prophecy in 3E 427 . History . The first known intended Nerevarine was Ane Teria , who was a holy crusader of the Tribunal Temple during the Tribunal ' s golden age in the early First Era , some time after the Battle of Red Mountain in 1E 700 . She wrote writings , later known as Apographa , that were suppressed by the Tribunal Temple . She followed the false gods unquestionably , and only began to believe the Nerevarine Prophecy when it was too late . In the late years of the Tribunate , Idrenie Nerothan was an incarnate who demoralized and repelled the Akaviri invaders during the First Akaviri Invasion in 1E 2703 . She knew nothing of Dagoth Ur and the Nerevarine Prophecy until she took refuge with the Ashlanders . She died trying to loot Kogoruhn , the Sixth House capital in the northern Ashlands , considering her actions foolish . Erur - Dan , another incarnate , saw Morrowind make a treaty with either the Reman Empire during the Four Score War , or the Septim Empire during the Tiber Wars . Humiliated by the surrender , he swore vengeance against the Empire and Tribunal alike . In later years , he despaired , and died fighting the Blight creatures at Red Mountain . During the Akaviri Invasions of 2E 572 , an incarnate named Conoon Chodala led fellow Ashlander s against the eastern invaders as the Imperial s fled . He quested deep into House Dagoth ' s strongholds and Red Mountain , killing evil creatures where they stood , becoming gulakhan of his people . Chodala went on to become the ashkhan of the Urshilaku tribe , and began his quest to unite the tribes after being named Nerevarine . He made a pact with Clavicus Vile for the powerful staff Sunna ' rah , and allied himself with the violent Red Exiles . Chodala used the staff to channel the god Vivec ' s divine energy for himself , making him increasingly reckless and overly confident , and each use weakening the god to the point where it almost killed him . He attempted to topple both the Tribunal and the Great Houses , seeking to go to war with them rather than earn their recognition as Hortator . His sister Seryn challenged his claim , causing them each to plea their cases to Wise Woman Dovrosi on whether Chodala was a true Nerevarine . With the help of the Vestige and the statements of previous failed incarnate , Chodala was indeed found to be a failed incarnate , turning on his tribe and fleeing to Kaushtarari for the favor of Malacath . His use of the staff was disabled using a Tonal Inverter , and Chodala perished fighting the Vestige and Seryn at the shrine , with the staff later being used by Barbas for the tasks of Clavicus Vile . Chodala ' s downfall came from craving glory , failing to see his real enemies . In the waning years of the Second Era , Hort Ledd was the intended incarnate . He was a thinker and not a doer , and though chosen by the prophecy , he was not a hero and did not fulfill the prophecy . He died around 3E 27 , in the last days of turmoil and unrest under the Septim Empire ' s rule over Morrowind . Peakstar was an incarnate who survived the Blight , but fell in battle with an Ash Vampire . She did not master the arts of war , and did not learn the ways of the Great Houses , so she could not be named Hortator . In 3E 427 , her spirit guided the true Nerevarine , helping them fulfill the prophecy .
