==History==
===First Era===
====The Great Burn & Regulus Sardecus====
In 1E 2811, the Second Empire of Cyrodiil waged war with the Black Marshes, long before it was the province that is known to this day. It had begun with the borderlands, as it soon pushed into the regions of the inner marsh. Regulus Sardecus was the second commander to take the helm of the Reman Invasion Front against Black Marsh, ever since Augurius Bucco had lost at the massacre at Xi-tsei. However, Sardecus' campaign ended in ruin, when Elissia Mallicius had burned a peat bog outside of Stormhold, which had inadvertently burn the entirety of Black Marsh, as far as Soulrest and Gideon. The "Great Burn" as it was called, had killed dozens of Legionnaires by inflicting them with Swamp Lung. This ended the Second Campaign, and ultimately led to the death of Regulus Sardecus.The Blackwater War, Volume 4The Blackwater War, Volume 6
