Imperial City Palace

*Main article: White-Gold Tower*
*This article refers to the district. For the palace building, see Elder Council Chambers.*
The **Imperial City Palace**, also known as the **Imperial City, Green Emperor Way** or the **White-Gold Tower**, is the district in the center of Imperial City and holds the palace building. Fly Amanita can be found growing here in abundance.

## Overview

Green Emperor Way is filled with tombstones and mausoleums. The tower itself has six floors, going upwards they are the basement, two Elder Council floors, the Imperial Palace Guards' Quarters, the Elder Scrolls Library, the Blind Moth Monks' Quarters and the Imperial Battlemages' Quarters (High Chancellor Ocato).

However the highest a normal visitor can go is the second floor of the Elder Council floors. The next door is locked and there is no key to get through. The remaining floors are only accessible in the Thieves Guild quest The Ultimate Heist.

The only way to actually get through to these floors is to enter a passage called the old way. This is located in the Imperial Sewers. One can also use console commands to unlock the doors, but this can become very complicated because the guards will attack when one enters restricted areas.

During the Great War of 4E 171-175 the Imperial City was captured and sacked, the Imperial Palace was burnt and the White-Gold Tower was looted.

## Point of interest

* Outside, Green Emperor Way can be located, which includes the Tomb of Prince Camarill. This tomb lights the path to the Mythic Dawn hidden fortress.
* During Unfriendly Competition, the Hero kills two grave robbers in the Trentius Family Mausoleum, located in the Green Emperor Way.

**Kintyra Septim** (born ??–3E 48) was the third monarch and first empress to rule Tamriel.

Kintyra succeeded Pelagius Septim, who had no living children; Kintyra was the daughter of Tiber Septim's brother Agnorith. After the death of Pelagius, she gave up her post as Queen of Silvenar.

Kintyra Septim II

*Not to be confused with Kintyra Varian II.*
*For other uses, see Septim.*
**Kintyra Septim II** (born 3E 104–3E 123) was the eighth monarch and second Empress regnant of the Empire of Tamriel.

## Biography

The story of Kintyra II, heiress of her father's throne, is certainly one of the saddest tales in the history of Septim Dynasty. Ten years after being crowned Emperor of Tamriel, Antiochus Septim, with his wife, Magna, had a daughter in the year 3E 104, whom he named Kintyra, after the Empress Kintyra Septim. Later, at a young age still, she would become an accomplished mystic and sorceress and the second Empress of the Empire of Tamriel.

## Coronation

After the death of her father, Antiochus Septim in 3E 119, Kintyra inherited the throne in 3E 120, at the age of 15, and was crowned Kintyra II. Her uncles, King Cephorus of Gilane and King Magnus of Lilmoth, attended the coronation, but her aunt, Queen Potema of Solitude, was banished after insulting Kintyra in front of the Elder Council by accusing her of being a bastard child, alluding to the decadence that existed in the Imperial City during her father's reign.

## War for the Crown

Kintyra's aunt, Potema Septim, was scheming to obtain the throne for herself and her son, Uriel. When Potema's accusations failed to stop Kintyra's coronation, Uriel bought the support of several disgruntled kings of High Rock, Skyrim, and Morrowind, and with his mother's assistance, he coordinated three attacks on the Septim Empire which resulted in a civil war known as the War of the Red Diamond, the name coming from the symbol of the Imperial family. In the early surprise attacks, Skyrim and High Rock were easily defeated by the force of Uriel and Queen Potema.

## Abduction and execution

Kintyra was tricked into leading an Imperial army to Glenpoint, where she was abducted by rebel forces (allegedly with the help of the Duke of Glenpoint). Kintyra's fate was less than kind, and she ended up executed in Glenpoint. The exact year she was abducted and killed is debated, but the people of Glenpoint, along with those of Glenumbra Moors, instigated an enormous manhunt for her killers in an event still remembered every 23rd of Frostfall during the broken diamonds.

## Trivia

* The book *Biography of the Wolf Queen* lists her capture and execution in 3E 114, when she would have been 10 years old. Other books like *The Wolf Queen, Book VI* and *Broken Diamonds* list her capture in 3E 121 (The Wolf Queen) and execution in 3E 123 (The Wolf Queen, Broken Diamonds). The Third Era Timeline states the official date of Kintyra's death in 3E 114, but real death in captivity and secret on 23rd of Frostfall, 3E 123.

Imperial Guard Division

*"The Imperial Guard is an elite unit of the Imperial Legion. The Guard is charge with the defense of the Emperor and various of his direct representatives in the provinces. The Duke's rank and responsibilities entitle him to the protection of this elite unit. There is a traditional rivalry between the Imperial Guard and their counterparts in the regular Legions."*
―Imperial Guard dialogue topic[src]
The **Imperial Guard** is an elite division of the Imperial Legion. They are tasked with the defense of the Emperor and his representatives in the provinces. There is a traditional rivalry between the Imperial Guard and their counterparts in the regular Legions.

## Types of Imperial Guard

* The Duke's Guard – These soldiers wear Imperial armor alongside a Duke's Guard Silver Cuirass. During the Third Era they were located in the city of Ebonheart and defended Duke Vedam Dren. The Duke's Guard comes equipped with silver weapons.
* The Palace Guard – Imperial soldiers stationed at the Imperial City Palace in Cyrodiil. They are tasked with defending the Elder Council and the Emperor. They are equipped with an extravagant piece of armor named the Imperial Palace Cuirass, and are commanded by an Imperial Legion Centurion.
* The Emperor's Guard, also known as the Imperial Guard, defend the Emperor while he is fighting in a war. These guards wear high ranking Imperial armor.

## Trivia

* In *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*, Amaund Motierre is an Elder Council member, but he does not have any form of the Imperial Guard with him. Instead, he has an Imperial soldier in light armor named Rexus to guard him.
* The Dragonborn Emperors were guarded by their own unique special force that is not part of the Imperial Guard. In the Reman Empire, the Emperor's guards were known as the Dragonguard, who are the predecessors to the Blades who guarded the Septim Dynasty during the third era. In the Mede Dynasty, the guards are known as the Penitus Oculatus. All of these organizations also double as special forces and personal armies for the emperor.

Kalpa

*"Some would say that all things must end, so that the next can come to pass. Perhaps this world is simply the Egg of the next kalpa?"*
―Paarthurnax[src]
A **kalpa**, referred to as the **Ending Time** by the Redguards and **Next Pounce** by the Khajiit, is a period of time over which the world of the Elder Scrolls exists. Some sources indicate that at the end of the kalpa, time resets to a new Dawn Era. Various creation myths prescribe certain deities to the role of destroying the world in order to create it anew; Nordic beliefs state that "our gods are as cyclical as the world itself," and attribute this role of destruction to Alduin, Redguard tradition involves Satakal, Argonian tradition involves Atakota, and Skaal beliefs involve Thartaag.

Due to the age resetting at a new Dawn Era, the creation of Mundus can emerge in different ways each kalpa, with different et'Ada playing different roles. For example, Vivec recounts Molag Bal being prince of the Dreugh in what may be a previous kalpa, and Umaril's father is claimed to be god of the world river in a previous kalpa. This is apparently possible because the Leaper Demon King hides parts of the world from Alduin each cycle, which are then stuck into the world by the Greedy Man, who is likely to be Lorkhan. During the Fourth Era, Alduin was defeated truly by Empress Marcella Varian in Sovngarde thus ending the Dragon Crisis.

The Yokudan creation myth states that Satak sheds its skin to create a new world, and spirits ultimately learn to travel between worldskins, avoiding the destruction of the world through the creation of the Walkabout, a way of "moving at strange angles" to stride between worldskins. There exists some ambiguity about the recurrence of the process; while it has been described as "a never-ending cycle of rebirth" and a "reincarnation of Mundus itself," other sources note that Sep created the current world out of a collection of old ones, rather than it beginning anew. This implies an end to the cycle, in the same way that Anu's creation of Nirn from the Twelve Worlds is not a continuation but a change.

## Trivia

* "Kalpa" is a Sanskrit term for eon, and has specific meanings (and different lengths) in Hinduism and Buddhism.

Ka Po' Tun

*"Ka Po' Tun is the "Tiger-Dragon's Empire". The cat-folk here are ruled by the divine Tosh Raka, the Tiger-Dragon. They are now a very great empire, stronger than Tsaesci (though not at sea). After the Serpent-Folk ate all the Men, they tried to eat all the Dragons. They managed to enslave the Red Dragons, but the black ones had fled to (then) Po Tun. A great war was raged, which left both the cats and the snakes weak, and the Dragons all dead. Since that time the cat-folk have tried to become the Dragons. Tosh Raka is the first to succeed. He is the largest Dragon in the world, orange and black, and he has very many new ideas."*
―Excerpt from Mysterious Akavir[src]
The **Ka Po' Tun**, formerly known as the **Po' Tun**, are a tiger-like *"cat-folk"* race present on the continent of Akavir. Along with the Kamal, Tang Mo, and Tsaesci, they are one of the four remaining races on the continent.

## Characteristics

They are described as being tiger-like cat folk, possibly similar in appearance to the Khajiit and Lilmothiit. It is suggested that they are similar to Khajiit in terms of body structure as a humanoid cat-like design, and in appearance with stripes in the place of spots. Their leader, Tosh Raka, is said to have transformed himself into a large orange and black dragon, but it is unknown how similar he looks compared to the regular dragons of Nirn.

## History

After the Tsaesci consumed all the men on Akavir, they attempted to consume all the dragons. The red dragons were enslaved, but the black dragons fled to the Po'Tun. A great war was raged which left both the Tsaesci and Po' Tun weak, and resulted in all the remaining dragons of Akavir killed. Since then, the tiger people have attempted to transform into dragons themselves. Their leader, Tosh Raka, is the only one known to have successfully done so. Under his rulership, the race renamed themselves from the Po' Tun to the Ka Po' Tun to symbolize their rise above the Tsaesci Empire.

While they have had many feuds, battles, and wars with all the other races in Akavir, the Ka'Po'Tun consider the Tsaesci their greatest enemies. Following Tosh Raka's coronation as the Tiger-Dragon Emperor, the Ka Po' Tun have managed to become the most powerful Empire in Akavir, and have become more powerful than the Tsaesci themselves. In latest reports, it is said that the Ka'Po'Tun have recently allied with the Monkey People of Tang Mo in order to fight the Tsaesci. It is also reported that Tosh Raka desired to invade Tamriel itself after defeating the Tsaesci.

Hammerfell Civil War

* Imperial invasion of Morrowind

## [Source]

*"With its High King dead, Hammerfell is crippled. Plunging into a bloody civil war between the Crowns, fighting for their homeland's continued sovereignity, and the Forebears, who have finally accepted the Emperor's rule."*
―Intro of *The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard*[src]
The **Hammerfell Civil War** was a war between the Crowns and the Forebears. The Crowns wanted Hammerfell to remain sovereign, while the Forebears had accepted Tiber Septim's rule.

## History

The civil war erupted when the High King, Thassad II, died from natural causes. Following his death, the Forebears took over Sentinel in a massacre of the Crowns, which resulted in Crown prince A'Tor sailing to mainland Hammerfell from Stros M'kai. When he arrived at Sentinel one of the bloodiest massacres in Tamrielic history took place. Following this, the Crowns were starting to win the war, pushing the Forebears back across Hammerfell's sands. However, the Forebears saw that defeat would come without outside intervention, so they made a pact with the Emperor allowing his Legions in, crush the Crowns and claim parts of Hammerfell as his own. The Imperial Legions proved too strong for the proud Redguard crowns. The final battle was at Stros M'Kai, where the New West Navy fought against the Crown Navy of A'Tor. Knowing that Hammerfell's independence is at stake, the Crown forces match the might of the Empire. When Dram shot the Price and Nafalilargus burned down the Crown forces, the Civil War was over. However, when Baron Volag disappeared, the terms between the Forebears and the Empire were changed. Instead of assisting the Forebears, the Imperial Legions invaded Hammerfell, set up garrisons and appointed governors to rule over the cities of Hammerfell, making Hammerfell subject to the Empire.

Guilds Act

The **Guilds Act** is an Imperial legislation that was passed by the Potentate Versidue Shaie, which officially sanctioned guilds. It affected the following:

Mages Guild, Tinkers Guild, Cobblers Guild, Prostitutes Guild, Scribes Guild, Architects Guild, Brewers Guild, Vintners Guild, Weavers Guild, Ratcatchers Guild, Furriers Guild, Cooks Guild, Astrologers Guild, Healers Guild, Tailors Guild, Minstrals Guild, Barristers Guild, and the Syffim (later known as the Fighters Guild).

The Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood, due to their illicit nature, were obviously not part of the Guilds Act. However, it can be surmised that the Guilds Act was the inspiration for the structuring of the modern day Thieves Guild, at least as it was during the Third Era.[*source?*]

The Guilds Act became official legislation in 2E 321. It should be noted that the Fighter's Guild was actually formed before then, as was the Mages Guild.

The Guilds Act had a partial effect in Skyrim, unlike the rest of Empire-controlled areas. The Bards College was instituted in Solitude, however, a Fighters Guild and a Mages Guild was not put into place. This may have been because there was an already well-established group in place for both of these roles; The Companions and the College of Winterhold, respectively.

## Trivia

* Of the guilds officially listed, only the following have appeared in the *Elder Scrolls* series:
	+ Fighters Guild (as the Syffim Guild) (every game except *Skyrim*)
	+ Mages Guild (every game except *Skyrim*)
	+ Bards College (*Skyrim*)
	+ Thieves Guild (every game)
* The Armorer's Guild is mentioned in *Fool's Ebony, Book III*, however, is not a part of this act.

Joric

*"I get lost sometimes. I'm not sure where I go, but I'm not... I'm not here."*
―Joric[src]
File:Joric.ogg

**Joric** is a Nord child who lives in Morthal.

## Background

Joric is the younger brother of Idgrod the Younger, the son of Idgrod Ravencrone, Jarl of Morthal, and Aslfur. He lives in Highmoon Hall.

## Relationships and personality

His older sister takes care of him and watches over him; occasionally she has to chase him around because he tends to wander off without warning.

Joric appears to have inherited the same gift of psychic foresight that his mother also claims to have. His erratic behavior seems to be closely connected to these psychic visions he sometimes receives.

## Interactions

Idgrod the Younger can be found leaning on a doorpost across from Highmoon Hall. She asks to the Dragonborn to deliver a letter to Danica Pure-Spring, priestess in the Temple of Kynareth, regarding Joric's health. She says that Joric isn't mad; although, he might have inherited his family's "gift," which, if according to the Jarl's steward, is strange dreams, perhaps telling the future. Joric has already been to the Temple of Kynareth to be looked over before.

### Invisibility

If the Dragonborn casts magic in front of him, he initiates special dialogue and asks the caster to make him invisible. The Dragonborn may either do so by use of the Fade Other spell (which is only available with console commands) or lie to Joric and make him believe that he is invisible.

## Quotes

* *"You're different, aren't you? Not like anyone else. Not in Morthal, or Skyrim."*
* *"Gorm thinks I'm mad. He doesn't say it, but I know he thinks it. Is he right?"*
* *"I get lost sometimes. I'm not sure where I go, but I'm not, I'm not here."*
* *"It was Falion! He did it! I don't know what, but he did it."*
* *"I don't understand. Why can't we go home?"* —After being exiled from Morthal
* *"I can't sleep here. The dreams are even worse than before."* —After being exiled
* *"I hope monsters come and eat you."* —When exiled
* *"My mother sees things. She doesn't know why, but she does. Only sometimes, she doesn't see me at all."*

Harbinger

*For other uses, see Harbinger (Disambiguation).*
The **Harbinger** was a command-based rank in the Five Hundred Companions, a legendary group of warriors who came from Atmora during the Merethic Era, when Men were first beginning to settle in Tamriel.

## Fourth Era

By the Fourth Era, the Companions have not had a true leader since Ysgramor, as the rank of Harbinger and the organization, purpose, and traditions of the Companions have changed since the Merethic Era. During the Fourth Era, the Harbinger acts as chief advisor, resolves disputes, and clarifies questions regarding the nature of honor, justice and glory. The Harbinger's word is respected not just within Jorrvaskr, but throughout all of the nine Holds of Skyrim.

Many Harbingers have come to pass, ranging from tyrant mercenaries to righteous, honorable and legendary warriors.

Haskill (Shivering Isles)

## Haskill

*For other uses, see Haskill.*

*"You approach the Shivering Isles. Through the door behind me lies the realm of Sheogorath, Prince of Madness, Lord of the Never-There."*
―Haskill[src]
File:Haskill quote.ogg

**Haskill** is the chamberlain, councillor and savant of Sheogorath. His voice is quite calm and he shows no obvious signs of madness.

## Interactions

Haskill is the first person encountered on the Shivering Isles, and will ask if the Hero wishes to enter the Realm of Sheogorath. If this request is declined, the Door to Cyrodiil will be the only location accessible.

Later on, the Hero will be able to summon him for no cost to magicka (Haskill can only be summoned inside Sheogorath's Realm). While he will not aid the Hero in battle, he will offer information and help on quests (although he is frequently and easily annoyed by the Hero throughout the entire course of the Shivering Isles questline).

When the questline is finished, he will be a source of income via small missions that call for the Hero to defend the Isles, and as a purveyor of entertainment. Haskill cannot be harmed; weapons will go through him with no adverse effect, as with Sheogorath in *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*.

## Trivia

* Haskill will appear at the Shrine of Sheogorath in Cyrodiil if the *Shivering Isles* main quest is completed.
* It is never revealed how Haskill came to be Lord Sheogorath's chamberlain.
	+ Whatever Haskill's true nature, if this interview with the character (written by Bethesda employees) is to be considered canon, he is not mortal. Also, according to the same source, Haskill seems to harbor a lot of resentment towards Molag Bal for unknown reasons.
	+ In this Loremaster's archive concerning Sheogorath, it appears that Haskill was once a human "mantled" by Sheogorath a long long time ago, back when Jyggalag existed. Haskill's memory of humanity is "hazy."
* He is voiced by Jeff Baker.
* Sheogorath mentions him during the quest "The Mind of Madness" in *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*.
* He appears in *The Elder Scrolls Online* during the quests "Long Lost Lore," "Simply Misplaced," and "The Mad God's Bargain." The Vesitge first encounters him in "Cheesemonger's Hollow."

Ianus Faleria

Ianus's grave (left) at Tribune's Folly

*"Well into adulthood, his youngest son could not take his confinement any longer. He managed to escape, and did so easily and often. Inevitably, as there things happen, the son fell in love with a merchant's daughter. Soon, she was with child. The girl's family, horrified at the child's Elven traits, forced the young woman to confess that her lover was Lord Faleria's son."*
―Anonymous[src]
**Ianus Faleria** was the second son of Lord Nunex Faleria and Lady Faleria. He fathered a son, Maxivian Faleria, with a merchant's daughter.

## Biography

Ianus was born in 1E 386 as the third and final child of Lord and Lady Faleria, with his mother dying in childbirth. His father was an Imperial and his mother was an Ayleid, though Ianus had mostly elven traits. As such, his parents never allowed him to go outside Fort Faleria as the Alessian Empire would banish or execute him due to the First Pogrom.

After becoming an adult, Ianus became discontent with being isolated in his father's underground estate, and managed to find a way to easily get in and out of the fort. He fell in love with a merchant's daughter, and fathered a son with her named Maxivian Faleria. The woman's parents were horrified at Maxivian's elvish traits, and forced her to confess that Ianus was the child's father. In order to keep his family a secret from the Empire, Nunex Faleria hid his grandson with Ianus in the fort.

Within days, the Alessian Army was at the gate of Fort Faleria, seeking to arrest Nunex for his crimes of treason after discovering his elvish children. On the 19th Sun's Dawn, 1E 421, Ianus went with his family to speak to their father, just after he had finished performing a dangerous ritual to wipe out the Alessian Army. Ianus put his hand on his father's shoulder, but it was too late for Lord Faleria to cancel the ritual, and the darkness he summoned inadvertently killed Ianus and Maxivian. Lord Faleria buried him with his sister Lucina on the surface, where he never allowed his children to go, writing *"Boundless Eternity Awaits Us"* on his epitaph.

Ionith

**Ionith** was one of two Imperial settlements on the continent of Akavir. The larger of the two towns, Ionith lies inland from Septimia, the first of the two colonies settled by Uriel Septim V.

## History

It was founded soon after the Tsaesci abandonment of the town that was later recolonized by the Expeditionary Force, and which would be renamed Septimia. Similar to Septimia, Ionith was an abandoned Tsaesci city that was refounded by the Imperials. The precise date of its founding is unknown, but is estimated to have been built around the beginning of Mid Year, 3E 288.

Three months later, during Hearthfire, civilian ships along with supplies arrived at Septimia, and thus began the brief population and culture of the Akaviri Settlements. Ionith proved to be an important figure in the brief negotiations between the Tsaesci and the Imperials, as both the city negotiations were held in, and the first city attacked after they failed. Ionith's only winter was a harsh one, followed by an even harsher drought in the spring. With their economy weakened, the inhabitants of both Ionith and Septimia underwent a series of attacks, eventually leading to the destruction of Ionith, and the death of Uriel Septim V.

Sometime during the Fifth Era, both former Empress-then Divine Marcella traveled to Akavir to explored the ruins of Septimia and Ionith.

Julius Primus

**Julius Primus**, is a powerful Imperial necromancer mentioned in *An Elder Scrolls Novel: Lord of Souls*.

## History

Julius Primus was a necromancer who self-proclaimed the new King of Worms. He was chased by the agents of the Penitus Oculatus, so he hid in the Imperial City Sewers. His warren at the sewers could only be accessed by a minor passage. Colin and Arese hid in Julius' former warren twenty years after his death, during the Umbriel Crisis. The warren was a largish room decorated in ghoulish splendor; furniture adorned in grinning, gold-leafed skulls and articulated vertebrae, velvet upholstery figured with obscene rituals of sex and death.

Arese mentions Julius could well have been involved with Hierem, but Colin doubts it, since the warren is not connected to anythng beneath the ministry.

Haafingar

## Map

The map of the Province of Skyrim, with Haafingar highlighted in the upper left.

### Jarl

Elisif the Fair

**Haafingar** is one of the nine Holds of Skyrim. It is located on a peninsula on the far northwest coast. It was an ancient Nordic kingdom. The hold encompasses the area surrounding its capital city, Solitude. The coat of arms is the wolf's head.

## Description

Haafingar is the smallest Hold in area. Since the Fourth Era, the High King of Skyrim reigns from Solitude. The hold is separated from Hjaalmarch by the Karth River and The Reach by mountains. Dragon Bridge is the only access to the hold by road, crossing the Karth River. Much of the hold is rocky and mountainous with soaring snowy mountains surrounding the north and west of Solitude, though the lower lying areas including Dragon Bridge are mostly comprised of forests and hills.

Solitude is the jewel of Imperial Skyrim. Ruled by Jarl Elisif the Fair, widow of the late High King, it is home to the headquarters of both the Legion and the Thalmor. Part of the reason for this is the eminently defensible nature of Solitude itself. Set upon a great stone arch that towers above the mouth of the Karth River, and surrounded by the soaring peaks of the Haafingar Mountains, Solitude is both a reinforced and breathtaking stronghold. Given the city's name, it is ironic that over 80 percent of the Hold's population lies within Solitude's walls, but this is testament to the city's political importance, formidable defenses and diverse population. The Bards College is located here, as well as the sumptuous Blue Palace, the residence of the Jarl. Both are constructed atop the huge, natural arch that the city rests on, affording spectacular views over the Sea of Ghosts and Hjaalmarch to the east. Solitude's accessible docks and wharfs are in the relatively calm waters, making the trade one of the many reasons why the wealthiest of Nords hail from this capital city. Solitude is the one true cosmopolitan city of Skyrim.

Imperial University

The **Imperial University** is a university and an organization responsible for several authoritative subjects, located in Cyrodiil. Many books have been written by them, but, most often, they are not referenced as such, as they are a large organization, and the references are usually attributed to the author of the book instead, for instance, Brother Hetchfeld.

## Trivia

* Despite this being referenced in several authoritative books, this organization is yet to appear in any of the Elder Scrolls Games, although they are first mentioned in a book in *The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall*. Presumably, given they are an authoritative university, they should have had their headquarters in Cyrodiil, and thus should have appeared in *The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion*.
	+ It is possible that the Arcane University is the Imperial University, given the similarity in name and location.
* It may even be descended from the University of Gwilym, however, that is not certain.
