Holds

File:SkyrimMap.jpg
**Holds** are the nine administrative divisions of Skyrim, different from each other both in climate and local government.

Each of the nine Holds is governed by a Jarl who resides in the Hold's capital city. The Jarls are largely independent, but swear fealty to Skyrim's High King, who in turn swears fealty to the Emperor upon joining the Septim empire in the late Second Era.

Each Hold also employs their own guards, who can be identified by the color of their uniform and the Hold symbol they bear on their shields.

Given the independent nature of governance, crimes are tracked independently by each Hold, and a criminal who is wanted in one Hold may have no bounty in another.

## Old Holds

*Main article: Old Holds*
Winterhold, Eastmarch, The Rift and The Pale are known collectively as the "Old Holds," and have remained more isolated—not only from a geographic standpoint, but a political one as well, given that they are all initially aligned with the Stormcloaks during the civil war. The Old Holds are bound together in history, as these holds were inhabited by the ancient Nords.

## West Skyrim

*Main article: West Skyrim*
Falkreath, Haafingar, Hjaalmarch, The Reach, and Whiterun are all a part of West Skyrim. The Nords of Western Skyrim are known to be progressive and would see an influence from the Empires of Cyrodiil and other places such as High Rock or Hammerfell. These Holds tend to stick with each other in times of war such as during the Skyrim Civil War and the Alliance War.

King of Morrowind

The Throne Room in Mournhold.

*"If there is to be a revolution, it is best done by a King."*

The **King** or **Queen of Morrowind** is the sovereign leader of Morrowind. Governing the province, those holding this office become a member of the Elder Council of the Empire of Tamriel. Traditionally, the King of Morrowind was based in Mournhold, as it was the first capital city established by Tiber Septim and Queen Barenziah in the late Second Era. However, following 4E 6, the capital moved to Blacklight. The title was abolished by the Grand Council and the title Hortator replaced the King/Queen of Morrowind as its head of state.

**Hortator**, commonly known as **Hortator of Morrowind**, is a head of state and sovereign monarch of Morrowind, and formerly a position given to a leader of a Great House, who leads them in times of crisis. This position is only granted in times of extreme danger, and so it is very rare for there to be a Hortator in Morrowind. In order for the position to be given, the leader of the House must first be convinced of the need for the position.

## Ascension

The Hortators of Morrowind must be elected by all leaders/members of the Grand Council, and typically inherits the throne by birth or member of the Council and rules for life or until abdication.

* The term "hortator" may take inspiration from the Latin word *hortātor, hortātōris,* meaning inciter, encourager, exhorter. It bears many similarities to the original purpose of dictators in ancient Rome.

## Notes

1. ↑ One of the last Hortators was Indoril Nerevar, who led the Dunmer in the Battle of Red Mountain.
2. ↑ The Grand Council restablished the title as the new head of state and monarch of Morrowind and was named its first Hortator over a two millennia.

With this they were able to fight off the Redguard and control most of Tamriel.

Imperials have a grudge on the Khajiit. The Imperials control most ports in Tamriel and are similar in appearance to Bretons despite their darker skin color.

## Character Creation

### Skill Bonuses

* no details confirmed at this time

Todd Howard, Skyrim's Game Director has stated that "each [race] start[s] with some skills that are higher by default, but those aren’t hard to overcome with another race in a short time."

### Starting Spells

* no details confirmed at this time

Todd Howard has also stated that "They also have different starting spells and each has its own passive abilities, like before"

This may make the starting spells more important than in the past games as it has been confirmed that the only ways to learn additional spells are to find spell tomes or to buy them from merchants. In other words, each spell in the game will be more valuable than in previous games because of the lack of custome spell creation.

Note: Not a complete list.

Note: The flame thrower spell (poor description?) shown in most Skyrim videos has been said in an article to be a starting spell for every race.

Jurgen Windcaller

*"My disciples still follow the difficult path - the Way of the Voice is neither wide, nor easy."*
―Jurgen Windcaller[src]
File:Jurgen.ogg

**Jurgen Windcaller**, later known as **Jurgen the Calm**, was a Nord chieftain and hero from the First Era who was believed to be the mightiest of all the Tongues. He was the founder of The Greybeards.

## Biography

### Battle of Red Mountain

During the War of Succession, in the middle of the Battle of Red Mountain, Jurgen Windcaller helped his fellow Nords in a war against the Dwemer and the Chimer. During the battle, the Dwemer and the Chimer completely annihilated the Nordic armies, forcing them out of Morrowind and back to Skyrim.

### The Way of the Voice

After the aforementioned disastrous battle, where his army was annihilated, he spent seven years pondering the meaning of his defeat. He finally came to the conclusion that the Gods had punished the Nords for their arrogant and blasphemous misuse of the Thu'um. Following this revelation, Jurgen developed a pacifist creed called the Way of the Voice that preached the Thu'um should only be used for the worship and glory of the gods rather than martial exploits. After he converted to pacifism he became known as "Jurgen the Calm."

#### Mastery

His philosophy prevailed, largely due to his unshakable mastery of the Voice. His victory was sealed in a legendary confrontation, where The Calm is said to have "swallowed the Shouts" of seventeen Tongues of the militant school for three days until his opponents all lay exhausted. These Tongues later became his disciples.

### Founding of the Greybeards

It was after this confrontation he founded the Greybeards, a monastic order dedicated to mastering the Way of the Voice. He also built High Hrothgar, located near the peak of Throat of the World, which served as the monastery where the Greybeards meditated and perfected their voice.

### Death

It is unknown when or how Jurgen Windcaller died, but he was buried in Ustengrav along with some of his possessions, including his horn. His sarcophagus reads "Windcaller" in Daedric, it is unknown why this is the case.

 File:JurgenSarchophagus.jpg
### Legacy

#### The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller

During the quest "The Horn of Jurgen Windcaller," the Dragonborn is required to retrieve the Horn of Jurgen Windcaller from Ustengrav.

#### Sovngarde

Jurgen can be met in Hall of Valor during the quest "Sovngarde."

## Quotes

* *"Fate drives you, but you follow your own path. Choose wisely, lest you wander into evil."*
* *"My disciples still follow the difficult path - the Way of the Voice is neither wide, nor easy. But if you stray from wisdom then to Sovngarde you will not return."*

## Trivia

* After collecting the horn, if one returns to the Tomb, they can activate it and will receive a Dragon Soul.

Imperial Battlemage

*Not to be confused with Imperial Legion Battlemage (Oblivion).*
The term **Imperial Battlemage** has had a variety of meanings throughout Tamriel and Cyrodiil's history. Most generally it refers to a Battlemage directly in the service of the Emperor of Tamriel and now Emperor of Cyrodiil, and who serves as part of the Elder Council. Imperial Battlemage has also been used to refer to a body of Battlemage troops, most particularly those which were trained at the Battlespire.

## History

The title initially referred to an elite form of troops in the service of either the Alessian or Reman Empire (the text is unclear which started the tradition). Initially, the term merely referred to battlemages in general, which were a new form of combat troops at the time, but under the Reman Empire came to refer to the leader of these troops, who was also granted a seat on the Elder Council. Following the fall of the Akaviri Potentate, the post was used generally to refer to warrior-caster troops, without any political connotation.

Tiber Septim appointed Zurin Arctus to the position in its former meaning, and the term had fallen into enough disuse that Arctus is sometimes considered the first to hold the post. Arctus takes an active role in the diplomacy and politics of Tiber's conquest, in addition to performing ceremonial and research duties for his emperor. It is at this time that we see the title Grand Battlemage used to describe the leader of the Imperial Battlemages unit.

After Zurin's death, it seems no further Imperial Battlemages were appointed during Tiber's rule, and the post lay vacant until revived by the Empress Moriatha.

The next known Imperial Battlemage was under the service of Uriel Septim VII, Jagar Tharn. Tharn imprisoned Uriel in 3E 389, and impersonated him until his defeat by Queen Barenziah's champion ten years later. He was replaced by Ocato.

Helvgvar Fine-Shield

**Helvgvar Fine-Shield** was Nord officer of the Stormcloaks during the Skyrim Civil War. He was part of the Fine-Shields family who formerly was soldiers to the Empire.

Ulfric was given Stormcloak station in Grimpen Ward to Helvgvar with a rank of Officer to the Stormcloaks. In 4E 184, he was mortally wounded during the Battle of Grimpen Ward while leading his Stormcloaks, also mortally wounded Emperor Caius Varian and killing Brelyna before Helvgvar succumbed to his wounds.
Khenarthi

**Khenarthi** is the Khajiiti goddess of the winds and sky.

## Background

According to the *Words of Clan Mother Ahnissi*, Ahnurr and Fadomai gave birth to Khenarthi, the Winds, and Ahnurr said "Khenarthi, to you we give the sky, for what can fly higher than the wind?" But Khenarthi went to Fadomai and said, "Fadomai-mother, Khenarthi grows lonely so high above the world where not even my brother Alkosh can fly." Fadomai took pity on her and tricked Ahnurr to make her pregnant again. And so Fadomai gave birth to the Moons and their Motions, Nirni, the majestic sands and lush forests, and Azurah, the dusk and the dawn. When Fadomai knew her time was near she told Azurah, "The Khajiit must be the best climbers, for if Masser and Secunda fail, they must climb Khenarthi's breath to set the moons back in their courses."

Khenarthi may be a variation on the Cyrodiilic and Bretony Kynareth, Goddess of Air, strongest of the Sky spirits, and member of the Nine Divines.

## Trivia

* The island Khenarthi's Roost is named after her.

Kaydoc III

*For other uses, see Kaydoc (Disambiguation).*
**Kaydoc III**, is the Duke of Dragonstar, the Earl of Renemath, King of Sentinel and the fifth High King of the Renemath Dynasty.

A lot of the history during the life, reign and death of Kaydoc III was lost throughout history. Kaydoc was briefly Crown Prince sometime after the deaths of Kaydoc II's son and cousin, Thaibur, and before his accession as High King in 5E 125. Witnesses claimed that Kaydoc III was the mere popular monarch in Hammerfell, and gained famed for his kindness. He was succeeded by his daughter Safia of Renemath after his death in 5E 185.

Ius

*"The statues one sees throughout Valenwood and parts of Hammerfell and Elsweyr that seem to be of a misshapen humanoid carrying a rod are of Ius, The God of Animals."*
―Ius, Animal God[src]
**Ius, God of Animals**, also known as **Ius the Agitated** and **Ius the Extremely Agitated**, is a deity worshiped in Valenwood, Hammerfell, and Elsweyr.

## Appearance

He is represented throughout Valenwood and parts of Hammerfell and Elsweyr as a misshapen humanoid carrying a rod, which is said to have its origin in the tale of *The Ox and the Evil Farmer*. He is also depicted with a set of scales.

## Myths

### The Ox and the Evil Farmer

The tale behind the rod he carries has its origin states that one day an evil farmer decided to kill all of his animals and have a big party. As The story unfolds, animal after animal is killed and prepared for a big meal. Lastly the farmer comes to the ox and prepares to slit its throat. The ox, not wishing to be anybody's dinner, prayed very vocally (in the form of a moo) to Ius. Then, Ius appeared carrying a rather large set of balance weights and, without explanation, ate the farmer and vanished. Ever since that day, Ius has always been portrayed as carrying a large set of scales with him. Local Ius worshipers are said to neither know nor care about the scales' reason.

### Second Myth

Of validity unknown, this myth states that, before the age of Pelagius Septim III, there lived a wombat who was the pet of Lady Greelina (daughter of the Lord Prufrock of Rockcreek). Greelina and her wombat loved one another, but it was a time of great sorrow in Rockcreek. A pestilence had come through the town, destroying all their cash crops (which consisted of raspberries and "odd weeds"). The plague had come, inflicting nearly every cobbler with chronic "hiccoughs"; finally a witch had cursed the townspeople so the only words any could utter were "Hmmm. Precisely." All the businesses, stores, and guilds fled from the town.

Lady Greelina saw her father despairing the loss the town was suffering, so she brought her wombat in and told him, "Father, my wombat can save us all, for it is sacred to the god Ius, God of Animals. The only reason I didn't tell you earlier is because I am an early adolescent going through that period when I don't like to communicate. But please, ask a wish of my wombat, and Ius will fulfill it, for my wombat loves me." The king thought this was fairly flakey, but had nothing to lose, so he uttered a modest wish to the wombat: "All I want is for one business to come to Rockcreek that will never leave no matter the calamity."

Due to years of abuse in the hands of the king (who used to lick it and try to make it stick to walls), the wombat had Ius create an equipment store in front of the palace gate that would never go away. The royal family ended up going mad and eating one another (and ironically, the wombat was one of the first to go). It is said that, to this day, an equipment store still blocks the palace gate in Rockcreek.

Katariah

*Not to be confused with The Katariah.*
**Katariah Septim** (née **Ra'athim**; ??–3E 200) was the thirteenth ruler of the Empire of Tamriel.

Katariah, a Dunmer, was originally married to her predecessor, the highly eccentric Pelagius Septim III. Pelagius was effectively removed from the throne in 3E 153 due to his ailing mental health. Katariah assumed regency in that year, and her husband died soon thereafter. She then assumed full rule over the Empire, the first to have no relation whatsoever to Tiber Septim to do this. Many assert that the true Septim line ended with Katariah due to her race; however, her defenders are quick to point out that she had a son by Pelagius, thereby continuing the true Septim bloodline. She is the third woman to hold power over all of Tamriel in the Third Empire, first as Regent and later as Empress. Despite racist claims to the contrary, her forty six-year reign was arguably the most glorious in Tamriel's history.

Katariah was uncomfortable in the Imperial City, and during her reign traveled extensively throughout the Empire. Such a cosmopolitan attitude had not been seen since Tiber Septim's day. She repaired the damage her eccentric husband had caused on the diplomatic front, and she strengthened foreign ties and alliances. She was a very popular monarch; the people came to love her far more than the nobility did.

Katariah died in a minor skirmish in Black Marsh in 3E 200. This event is a favorite source for conspiracy-minded historians. The sage Montalius' discovery of a disenfranchised branch of the Septim family's involvement with the skirmish proved a revelation. She was succeeded by her son Cassynder.

## Trivia

* While *The Third Era Timeline* claims Katariah died in 3E 200, *Brief History of the Empire, Book II* claims her death was in 3E 199, though the latter does not explicitly give the year of her death.
* A ship called *The Katariah* exists in *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*, belonging to the Empress Marcella Varian.

High Chancellor

The **High Chancellor**, sometimes referred to as the **Grand Vizier** or the **Grand Chancellor** or more formally as the **Lord High Chancellor**, is the head of the Elder Council, a group of advisors that aid the Emperor of Tamriel in the governance of the Third and Fourth Empires, who is appointed by the Imperial Monarch theirselves. In the absence of an Emperor or Empress, the High Chancellor is the de facto ruler of Tamriel, and is normally the second-highest authority figure in all of the Empire, naturally only second to the Emperor. The position has existed ever since the establishment of the Elder Council during the First Age.

Ocato, an Altmer, held the seat of High Chancellor during the late Third Era, and during the Oblivion Crisis. Ocato, as the High Chancellor, aided the Hero of Kvatch and Martin Septim in bringing about an end to the Oblivion Crisis at the end of the Third Era. After the Oblivion Crisis, he can be found in the Imperial Palace. He rules Tamriel with the help of the Elder Council as a *de facto* ruler in the absence of the Septim bloodline. He is always an essential character.

Haskill (Online)

## Haskill

*For other uses, see Haskill.*

*"I'm so glad we've had this time together. One must usually go to a public execution for conversation of this caliber."*
―Haskill[src]
**Haskill** is a Breton who lives in the Shivering Isles and serves the Daedric Prince Sheogorath. He is Sheogorath's chamberlain and handles his affairs and look after the Shivering Isles while his Lord is away. The Cheesemonger's Hollow is one of many shrines belonging to him.

## Interactions

### Long Lost Lore

Upon entering Cheesemonger's Hollow the Vestige will ask Haskill to open the door to the rest of the Hollow for some books. He responds saying the Vestige must earn them by passing a test and asks them to close the portal pouring out Daedra. Upon doing so he then opens the door and allows the Vestige to enter the rest of the Hollow for the books.

### Simply Misplaced

Haskill asks the Vestige to retrieve the Fork of Horripilation and the Wabbajack.

### The Mad God's Bargain

Sheogorath has been making Valaste slowly insane, so Arch-Mage Shalidor and the Vestige travel to the Shivering Isles to stop him. The Vestige must confront and defeat Haskill during the quest.

## Attire

Unlike his character in Oblivion (wearing a very formal butler-like uniform which suited in the fashion of Dementia's crucible). He appears to be wearing a leather waistcoat with linen sleeves and matching leather pants with almost similar to tight straight leg boots, an odd choice of clothing for a servant of Lord Sheogorath.

## Quotes

* *That was unexpectedly competent. You'd make an adequate house servant. I don't suppose you'd consider it? The pay is meager, but the fringe benefits are appalling.* (During Long Lost Lore)

Hestra

*Not to be confused with Hestla.*
**Hestra** was the Imperial Empress of Cyrodiil during the early First Era.

In 1E 1033, she "demanded the head of the most infamous of brigadiers, "Red" Bramman."

Hestra is cited in the book *Where Were You When the Dragon Broke?*, where it is claimed she suggests that during the Dragon Break, Cyrodiil "became an Empire across the stars."

Another mention of Hestra comes from the book *Lost Legends*, wherein it tells of a conflict with a "rebel leader of that era who was eventually cornered and slain in battle, at the cost of a full legion of men." The book claims that this rebel was in fact Red Eagle, also affirmed by the book *The Legend of Red Eagle*, suggesting that the conflict occurred around 1E 1030.
