Forces of Umaril The Auroran Forces of Umaril the Unfeathered were the Ayleid Sorceror - King Umaril ' s personal army of Auroran warriors given him by the Daedric Prince Meridia . Due to the pact made between Umaril and Meridia , Umaril was allowed to use her Aurorans to further the efforts of the Ayleid Empire during the First Era . Eventually , however , Umaril and his Forces , as well as the Ayleids , would be defeated by Alessia and her rebels , in particular the Divine Crusader Pelinal Whitestrake . In that conflict Umaril would be killed , but he would rise again years later , and gather to him his army of Aurorans once more . But he would again be defeated by a Divine Crusader , this time the eponymous Hero of Kvatch , along with his Knights of the Nine , bringing a final end to both Umaril and his Forces . History . The Daedric Forces of Umaril were composed of the Daedric warriors known as Aurorans , servants to Meridia . When exactly Umaril made his legendary pact with Meridia , granting him the immortal life of a Daedra , is unknown . What is known is that , as part of the deal , Umaril was also given command of Aurorans as well . Umaril used these in furthering the interests of the Ayleid Empire which he jointly ruled with the other Ayleid Kings . The Fall of White Gold Tower . As Alessia ' s Rebellion grew and became a much more significant threat , Umaril watched as one individual in particular , the legendary Pelinal Whitestrake , caused havoc and destruction within the bounds of the Ayleids . Using armor and weapons blessed by the Gods , Pelinal seemed invincible . Eventually , Umaril called out Pelinal to a duel in White Gold Tower , the Ayleid capital . When Pelinal arrived , Umaril chose trickery over honor , and he sent hordes of Aurorans to kill Pelinal . Using his Crusader ' s Relics , though , Pelinal would not fall . But the Aurorans did their job , weakening Pelinal , and even causing him to bleed . With this advantage , Umaril finally faced Pelinal , but the Crusader ' s fury was unmatched , and Umaril too was slain . Whatever Aurorans that may have been left were killed when Alessia ' s forces overwhelmed White Gold Tower , finally turning the war against the Ayleids . Defeated and bereft of their leader , the Aurorans presumably returned to Meridia ' s Realm after being reborn from the Waters of Oblivion . Auroran Crisis . But Umaril was not truly dead . His pact with Meridia allowed his soul to be recycled much like a Daedra ' s . In time , he regained his body , where and how is unknown . He did immediately prepared to take his revenge on humanity , starting with the Gods that had given Pelinal the weapons to defeat him . Umaril set out to destroy the Church of the Nine Divines . Gathering his Aurorans once more , Umaril set up base in the westernmost of the old Ayleid outposts , Garlas Malatar , and prepared for attack . The first salvo came in the form of an attack on the Great Chapel of Dibella in Anvil . A group of Aurorans silently entered the Chapel and slaughtered every member of the staff . Using the blood of their victims , they wrote in bloody runes around the main altar : " " By the eternal power of Umaril , the mortal gods shall be cast down . " " By the same unknown means as their entrance , the Aurorans left the Chapel to be discovered soon afterwards , raising all manner of suspicion . The faith in the Nine Divines had been shaken , and Umaril ' s plan had gone into effect . The next attack was launched on Bravil in a similar manner . The Great Chapel of Mara was attacked and desecrated , all the staffers killed , further shaking the Church . By this time , however , another player had entered the arena . The Hero of Kvatch , famed champion of the Oblivion Crisis , had taken up a quest to recover the lost Relics of the Crusader , the weapons and armor of Pelinal Whitestrake . Whether Umaril knew of this or not is unclear , but it is possible that the next attack was launched on Leyawiin ' s chapel as a means of killing the Hero , who had succeeded in recovering two Relics already . This attack would be foiled by the Hero , though , the first major setback for Umaril and his Forces in the Crisis . The Aurorans would lay low for a long while following this defeat , giving the Hero ample time to gather the remaining Relics , as well as reorganize the old holy order of the Knights of the Nine . When next Umaril ' s Forces attacked in Cheydinhal , it was surely a means of stopping the Hero from reconsecrating the final Relic , the Sword of the Crusader . The Hero defeated the Aurorans set against him and reconsecrated the Sword , finally reuniting all the Relics . The next attack would come not from the Aurorans , but from the Knights of the Nine . Finally ready to move against Umaril , the Knights gathered outside Garlas Malatar and launched their attack . In the Battle of Garlas Malatar , the Knights and the Aurorans finally clashed head on , with the Hero , now also the new Divine Crusader , leading the charge . In the second level of Garlas Malatar , the Hero destroyed the Dark Orb , a mysterious stone that gave the Aurorans the power of regeneration . When at last the Hero came face to face with Umaril , the two just as Umaril and Pelinal had long ago . In this battle , the Hero was equipped with one more Relic , the Blessing of Talos , which allowed him to follow Umaril to a spirit plane after death . There the Hero destroyed Umaril ' s spirit , ensuring that he , and his Aurorans , would never rise again . Weapons and Abilities . The Aurorans under Umaril ' s command were well armed and equipped . Hidden within protective Ayleid armors , no one knew what their faces truly looked like . Umaril also equipped them with powerful Ayleid battleaxes charged with lightning magic . The Aurorans themselves were magically powerful as well , utilizing a lightning spell called " Mortal Light . " Alone the Aurorans were deadly , in groups they could be devastating . Umaril ' s army was also allowed unique powers in the way of teleportation . By some means , the Aurorans were able to infiltrate locations without at all being detected , and left in much the same manner . No evidence exists as to how they do this , exactly , though the secret may lay with yet another mystery : The regenerative abilities of the Aurorans . During the Battle of Garlas Malatar , the Aurorans demonstrated the ability to resurrect themselves after death via a mysterious Dark Orb . The origins of this Orb are unknown , possibly it is a piece of Ayleid magic utilized by Umaril , or a gift from Meridia , mimicking the Daedra ' s immortality in the mortal plane , thus allowing the Aurorans to return to Umaril without having to revive within Meridia ' s Realm .
