==History==
During the Great War, when the Third Empire was busy fighting the Aldmeri Dominion, it pulled many of the Imperial Legion soldiers from Markarth to fight, leaving it with only a small garrison. The Reachmen, who had wanted independence for a long time, took this opportunity to force Imperial troops out of the Reach, and from 4E 174 until 4E 176, it was its own kingdom. Aside from some crimes which were committed against former Nord landowners, the Forsworn were recorded as having ruled their lands fairly, and were trying to be recognized by the Empire as a legitimate kingdom. In 4E 176 Markarth's nobility asked Ulfric Stormcloak to reclaim the Reach, to which he accepted.Dialogue with Igmund Upon reclaiming Markarth the remaining Forsworn scattered, those who stayed or those related to the Forsworn were executed,Dialogue with Nepos the NoseThe Bear of Markarth excluding Madanach, Nepos the Nose and a handful of others.
