Ayrenn I Arana

* Lady of the White City
* Protector of the Isles
* The Gryphon Queen
* The Gryphon's Heir
* The Mad
* The False Queen

Queen **Ayrenn I Arana**, also called **Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri** and **the Unforseen Queen**, was the Xth member of House Arana to rule the Summerset Isles, ruling from 2E 580 to 2E 601. She died without any surviving children, marking the extinction of her House. Her paternal cousin, Alwinarwe Neiaron, succeeded her as Queen.

Ayrenn showed great promise in her early youth, but such certainty and security was thrown to the wind when she disappeared from the Summerset Archipelago on the eve of her acceptance into the Sapiarch's Labyrinth, one of the many symbolic rituals an heir apparent to the Marble Throne must undertake. She returned after seventeen years, following the death of her father King Hidellith II, to take the throne from her brother, Prince Naemon, who had taken up the responsibilities she opted to neglect.

Ayrenn is, for the most part, not remembered fondly by either the nobility or the commoners of Alinor, who both despised the queen during her reign for corroding Altmeri culture, upsetting the natural order, and brazenly dismissing traditions and customs held dear by Altmeri nobles and commoners alike for thousands of years. Some Sapiarchs have described her years on the throne as a "covert reign of terror".

Cartorrel (2E 510)

**Cartorrel** was an Altmeri commoner from the Summerset Archipelago, and worked as a fisherwoman on the *Eyebright* until she met an untimely fate at the hands of Maormeri invaders, known as the Storm Sharks.

## Appearance and Character

Cartorrel had copper-brown hair and a well-built body from her years at sea. She had heavily calloused hands from her work as a fisherwoman and bore several scars.

Cartorrel preferred to wear loose-fitting and airy clothing, allowing her to better fell the breeze of the open sea.

## History

Around 2E 586 there were several Maormeri incursions upon the Summerset Archipelago, one of which was on Wasten Coraldale, a prominent island west of the Summerset Isle and home to a significant portion of the Royal Fleet, as well as an excellent fishing location. While on the island there was a Maormeri assault which resulted in Cartorrel's death.

Cartorrel wrote her final words for her wife, Wendlain, before she died, which was delivered to her by her crewmates after they left Wasten Coraldale.

Alluin IV

* His High Holiness
 Allegiances | * House Morvin (formerly)

**Alluin IV** was the fourth High Aldarch of the Church of Alaxon to take the name 'Alluin', and served as the head of the Church during the Arana conquest of the Summerset Archipelago in the early First Era.

He was responsible for the submission of Elorne during the conquest as well as the second coronation of Aerel I Arana in Eldarhall.
Bonesnap Journal

***Bonesnap Journal*** was a journal written sometime in the Second Era by an unknown author. It tells of a scholar who attempted to approach the Bonesnap Tribe of goblins that set up residence in Moravagarlis, a ruined Ayleid city. The scholar was slaughtered in his attempt.

## Contents

I've now been among the creatures of Bonesnap for thirty-six days. The goblins are predictably skittish, but otherwise unconcerned with my presence. The ogres they share the space with are another matter entirely. Luckily it's not been too difficult to stay out of their way. The symbiotic relationship between the ogres and the Bonesnap tribe is fascinating. I've not encountered anything like it in my research before.
Tomorrow I will attempt to approach one of the Bonesnap tribe directly. I'm on the cusp of an inter-species breakthrough! I can feel it.

Castellan

A **castellan** is the governor or captain of a castellany and its castle. A castellan is appointed, usually by a ruling lord, to oversee the defence of the castle when the lord himself is away or unable to attend to the tasks himself.

## About

When appointing castellans, preference might be given to warriors, who have knowledge and skill in warfare.

Should the lord who appointed the castellan die, the castellan will remain in office until the new lord or lady dismisses them. Additionally, a castellan might retain their position after the lord's death due to said lord's will, despite the new ruler having taken position.

Castellans can be appointed when the lord goes to war. Other lords might prefer to leave the castle under the command of their spouses, who are subsequently able to name a castellan if need be. Other lords might choose to appoint a castellan during times of peace when they spent longer periods of time away from their seat. In addition, castellans can serve while a lord remains at his seat, giving the lord counsel.

A castellan has no right to make marriage pacts.
Battle off North Beacon

The **Battle off North Beacon'**s shores was a significant naval battle during Aerel's Invasion. It resulted in the failure of the naval invasion of northern Auridon and the destruction of the Arana fleet, and most of the Rilis fleet.

## Prelude

Aerel Arana made known his intentions of conquering the Summerset Archipelago and unifying the five kingdoms under his rule. Lady Daenyra Lannar was sent to capture the city of North Beacon, which would provide a northern foothold to use for further conquests. Aerel's sister Alyssare Arana was sent to accompany Daenyra on gryphonback.

## The Battle

The Rilis' and Rolynns hastily assembled a fleet to meet the Aranas.

The Arana and Rilis fleets met in the waters off North Beacon. The Rilis' were able to destroy the Arana fleet and Lady Daenyra was killed during the battle. Alyssare's gryphon, Rhea, destroyed over half the Rilis fleet in response, though she was forced to withdraw due to the deadly precision of incoming arrowfire. The battle was a tactical draw since both fleets were all but destroyed, though a strategic defeat for the Aranas since they were unable to take North Beacon.

## Aftermath

Though the Aranas lost the battle, Aerel was able to continue marching northward, claiming castles and keeps as he went. North Beacon was later besieged, though was never breached before King Sandur III Rilis bent the knee to Aerel.
Blackguard Instructions

**Blackguard Instructions** were a series of notes written in the late Second Era by Margus Derius, an Imperial black marketeer. The series of notes serve as instructions for his associates on what to do with relics Margus wanted for a ritual in Black Marsh.

The series of notes 'Blackguard Instructions' is ordered as follows: Blackguard Instructions, One; Blackguard Instructions, Two; Blackguard Instructions, Three.
Aluvus' Final Notes

**Aluvus' Final Notes** was a note written around 2E 582 by Aluvus, a high elf vampire. The note tells of how he turned the young son of an alchemist in the nearby town of Phaer into a vampire so that he would have someone to keep him company.

## Contents

I did it! I finally did it.
It was his innocence that convinced me. The alchemist's son, always so helpful, always so kind. How could I resist? It wasn't easy, but he's like me now.

His tears. I left him there, on his father's doorstep.

And there shall be more. They'll stay with me in the darkness. For years to come.
Ancient Tales of the Dwemer

***Ancient Tales of the Dwemer*** is ostensibly a series of scholarly works written in the Second Era by Gor Felim under the pseydonym Marobar Sul, though in reality much of what was written were proven to be falsehoods. The series supposedly details facts about the Dwemer race of Mer. In the Third Era, books from *Ancient Tales of the Dwemer* were still published, though with publisher notes on many of the volumes to explain the innacuracies.

Volumes VII and IX have been lost to time, and parts IV and VIII were never republished with corrections.

The known volumes of the book series *Ancient Tales of the Dwemer* are ordered as follows: *Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. I: The Ransom of Zarek; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. II: The Seed; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. III: The Importence of Where; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. IV: On the Utility of Marbles and Needles; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. V: Song of the Alchemists; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. VI: Chimarvamidium; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. VIII: The Snow Elf and the Variation-Lens; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. X: The Dowry; Ancient Tales of the Dwemer, vol. XI: Azura and the Box.*
2E 601

**Year 601 of the Second Era (2E 601)** is a year in the Tamrielic calendar, the 601st year after Potentate Versidue Shaie declared the start of a new Era which most of Tamriel use as a reference for the start of the Second Era.

2E 601 marked the end of the Three Banners War, which had raged since 2E 580. Queen Ayrenn I Arana was slain by her X Eridion Aeldaris, and the Aldmeri Dominion collapsed thereafter, prompting the first trans-Tamrielic Great Council which formally ended the Three Banners War by declaring a ceasefire after the events of Ayrenn I's bloody conquest through Cyrodiil.

## Events

**Conflicts**

* Three Banners War ends.

Aldmeri (moniker)

**Aldmeri** was a regnal name used by the ancient Aldmeri kings, and several Altmeri kings from the Merethic Era. King's from House Arana would often bear the name as a quasi-second surname (e.g., Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri), and was first adopted by Queen Elaerel I as a way of increasing her family's legitimacy in the eyes of their Altmeri subjects by associating the Aranas more closely with the ancient Aldmer.

## History

Several scrolls transcribed by the Sapiarchs indicate that ancient Aldmeri kings adopted the moniker after the Sundering of Aldmeris as a reminder of their heritage, associating themselves with their pure elven ancestors. As the Aldmer slowly became the modern-day Altmer the moniker remained among several royal families. However, it was done away with over time, and by the time of Aerel's Invasion in 1E 366 the only monarchs bearing the moniker were in history books.

The tumultuous reigns of the first few Arana kings indicated to the newly-coronated Elaerel I Arana that more needed to be done to increase her family's legitimacy in the eyes of their Altmeri subjects. Having descended from the Ayleid Empire, House Arana was seen largely as a foreign entity by commoners and nobles alike. Among several other of her reforms, Elaerel revived the use of the moniker by adopting it herself during her coronation. Several of her successors opted to use it as well, such as Ayrenn I Arana (styled Ayrenn Arana Aldmeri), yet many others decided to not use it.

## Royal Uses of the Moniker

**From ancient history:**

* King Torinaan I Rilis, known as *the Foresailor*

**From House Arana:**

* Queen Elaerel I Arana
* Queen Ayrenn I Arana, known as *the Unforseen Queen*

**From House Neiaron:**

* Queen Alwinarwe I Neiaron
Calian

A **calian** is a cultural talisman in the Summerset Archipelago given to an Altmer upon reaching the age of majority: eighteen. The talisman typically serves as a symbol of an Altmer's right to "participate in Altmeri society".

## Culture

Calians are granted to an Altmer after reaching the age of majority in a religious coming-to-age ceremony held by a Curate, or by an Ascendant Curate if the Altmer in question comes from a prestigious House, or is wealthy enough to pay for the service, or by the High Aldarch himself if the Altmer to recieve their calian is a member of the royal family or an heir-presumptive to the Marble Throne. Calians are symbolic of an Altmer's right to be a participating member in Altmeri society, though it is a purely symbolic talisman despite the religious nature of the accompanying ceremony.

The calian itself can, in theory, be any item a parent chooses to bestow upon their child. Nobles have calians made of better quality materials, often crystal, and have them bought or commissioned by skilled artisans, giving them elaborate designs and engravings. Commoners will often make their own calians, using what materials they have available to them, such as simple glass or stone, as they might not have the spare funds a noble does.

Part of what makes a calian is its simplicity. Even nobles will keep their calians elegant, though their wealth make embellishments and carvings commonplace.
Battle of Glenumbria Moors

"**Battle of Glenumbria Moors**" is a common song sung in High Rock. It tells of the Battle of Glenumbra Moors, a battle that occurred in 1E 482 between the Direnni Hegemony and the Alessian Empire, and is seen as a heroic period when the Bretons under the Direnni Hegemony protected their lands and stood for their people.

## Lyrics

Who took up arms that winter dawn and to Glenumbria came,

to raise their hand 'gainst tyrants, stand and die in freedom's name?

Who stood upon the field that hour to answer Direnni's call?

Men, Breton-born, all came that morn, to fend the land for all!

Rise, rise! To freedom, rise! Arise, ye Breton sons and daughters.

Ride, ride! To freedom, ride! Truth and glory to the brave!

And when the battle, it was joined, Alessians three to one,

skies lit bright with magic's light and with magic, it was won.

For all they stood on blessed ground whence all her power came,

the rocks would yield, what might they wield, all in Direnni's name!

Rise, rise! To freedom, rise! Arise, ye Breton sons and daughters.

Ride, ride! To freedom, ride! Truth and glory to the brave!

So children of this Breton land, ye best remember well,

all those who for High Rock stood: Brian, Ancois, Rielle.

Men of the North fought and stood forth...

till all oppressors fell!
Assassin

An **assassin** is one who commits a targeted murder or assassination, mostly for political reasons. They may act alone or in organised groups, or be created by magic.

## Known Assassins

* The Dark Brotherhood, a mythical religious society of assassins based in secret hideouts across Tamriel.
* The Morag Tong, a legal and sanctioned order of assassins based in Vvardenfell, a region of Morrowind.
Boar

The **boar** of the known world is similar to a real life wild boar. Boars of truly monstrous size may exist in some locations.

## Breeds and Range

Across Skyrim there exists a special breed of boar known as bristleback boars, named for the longer than average hair that runs down their backs.

Boars can be found in forested areas in Tamriel, such as:

* The Great Forest
* ???

## Culture

Boar hunting is a common activity among the nobility of Tamriel. It is not considered to be a sport for the feint of heart, who generally hawk instead. A hunting party usually includes men to flush the boar from its lair, dogs to gather the prey, and men on horses equipped with spears to kill the animal. Hunted boar may be served at a feast, roasted, often with its head displayed and an apple in its mouth.

Boar baiting is a pastime in Tamriel.

The boar appears on the sigils of Houses X and X.
Blackguard Instructions, Three

**Blackguard Instructions, Three** was a note written in the late Second Era by Margus Derius, an Imperial black marketeer. The note, the third of a series of three notes, gives instructions to his associates on what they should do while Margus performed a sensitive ritual in the ancient Argonian xanmeer of Norg-Tzel.

The series of notes 'Blackguard Instructions' is ordered as follows: Blackguard Instructions, One; Blackguard Instructions, Two; Blackguard Instructions, Three*.*

## Contents

I shall eagerly await your return at the ancient xanmeer. Gather the four meditation cylinders and bring them to me there. Remember, these Argonian antiquities are crucial to the ritual I need to perform. And when I begin the ritual, make sure that all of the Blackguards remain outside the chamber. Any distraction could disrupt the ritual and cause the curse to be prematurely released from Beela-Kaar's relic.
And that would be bad.

—M.D.
Aurochs

**Aurochs** is a type of large wild cattle. They sometimes have shaggy hair.

## Culture

Aurochs once dwelled in the majority of Tamriel. Because of hunting and domestication, however, they have dwindled in the wild and are not often seen.

Aurochs are frequently used as a symbol of size, strength, stubbornness, and stupidity.

A Kiss, Sweet Mother

***A Kiss, Sweet Mother*** is a book written in an unknown Era by an unknown author, though legend claims it was written by the mythical Dark Brotherhood, a cult of assassins. The book supposedly details how to summon the Brotherhood to take on an assassination contract, though many have been known to try it to no avail.

## Contents

o you wish to summon the Dark Brotherhood? You wish to see someone dead? Pray, child. Pray, and let the Night Mother hear your plea.
You must perform that most profane of rituals—the Black Sacrament.

Create an effigy of the intended victim, assembled from actual body parts, including a heart, skull, bones and flesh. Encircle that effigy with candles.

The ritual itself must then commence. Proceed to stab the effigy repeatedly with a dagger rubbed with the petals of a Nightshade plant, while whispering this plea:

"Sweet Mother, sweet Mother, send your child unto me, for the sins of the unworthy must be baptized in blood and fear."

Then wait, child, for the Dread Father Sithis rewards the patient. You will be visited by a representative of the Dark Brotherhood. So begins a contract bound in blood.
Arrest Order

**Arrest Order** was a note written in 2E 585 by Chief Inspector Rhanbiq of the Iron Wheel, a sellsword company from Hammerfell. The note tells other members of the Iron Whell to seek out a woman named Velsa, who they believe to have been involved in a heist.

## Contents

The Iron Wheel is hereby authorized to bring in a dark elf woman, going by the name of Velsa, surname unknown, for questioning related to the stolen dowry of Lady Magnifica Falorah. Suspect is believed to have strong ties to the organization of loosely affiliated rogues and criminals that goes by 'Thieves Guild'.

*Note: Proceed with all caution, suspect is an expert in sabotage and alchemical techniques designed to immobilize and cause pain. Assume hostility.*
## History

In the year 585 of the Second Era, the Iron Wheel was hired by Magnifica Falorah, a prominent Redguard noblewoman of Abah's Landing in Hammerfell. The sellsword company was tasked with investigating those that attempted (and failed) to steal her dowry some five years prior. Velsa, a relatively wealthy Dunmeri commoner was discovered to have been involved with the failed heist, and the Iron Wheel was sent to arrest her.
Alinor

**Alinor**, known as the **Summerset Isles** before being renamed in 4E 22, is a realm located on the Summerset Archipelago, ruled by the king of Alinor, the monarch who sits upon the Marble Throne in the capital city, also called Alinor, the kingdom's namesake. Alinor leads the greater political entity known as the Aldmeri Dominion.

Alinor is sometimes also referred to as the **Five Kingdoms**, particularly by mummers, poets, and anyone who is placing emphasis upon the several constituent regions of the realm, five of which were independent kingdoms at the time of Aerel's Invasion in 1E 366.

## History

### Origin

The Summerset Archipelago was ruled by two monarchs at the time of Aerel's Invasion in 1E 365:

 Coreriil III Arana, King of Summer.

 Sandur III Rilis, King of Auridon.

Aerel and his sisters conquered both kingdoms, consolidating them under the rule of House Arana and the Marble Throne.

## Regions and Territory

Alinor is divided into nine administrative regions or provinces, excluding territories on mainland Tamriel: the Crownlands, the Summerlands, the Vale of Eton Nir, Elorne, the Norlands, the March, Calambar, Iluvamir, and the Vafe.

## Culture

### Slavery

The Altmer of Alinor maintain a restricted form of slavery. Man, Mer, and Beastfolk are strictly prohibited from being enslaved, but the native goblins are not, and are treated as any other slave on Tamriel. The acquisition of goblin slaves is done primarily through allowing existing slaves to mate, and not through actively capturing wild goblins.

Altmeri slavery is seen as relatively humane, even by mainland nations, as goblins are not considered overly sentient creatures and thus not capable of understanding their enslaved condition. It is said by Sapiarch X that the goblins of the archipelago genuinely enjoy their position, as it allows for free food and shelter and gives them something to do.

## Houses

Below are the Houses of Alinor as they were near 4E 201.

House X of Alinor (royal House)

* ???

**House Errinorne** of Skywatch

* House Arana of Gryphonrock
	+ House Silinor of X

**House Rilis** of Firsthold

* ???

**House Andorin** of Lillandril

Academy's Rejection Letter

**Academy's Rejection Letter** was a letter written around 2E 582 by Felicitas Mallicius, an Imperial scholar of an unknown academy in Cyrodiil. The letter expressed Felicitas' scepticism over the claims made by Oppius, a scholar studying a cave in Cyrodiil.

## Contents

Scholar Oppius,
Once again you repeat your assertions that goblins have domesticated creatures of several species, including spiders and kwama. And once again I must inform you that the academy will publish no papers making such outlandish claims without conclusive proof.

You offer no proof for the excellent reason that none exists. Goblins are barely intelligent enough to be domesticated themselves, let alone to domesticate other species. Your premise is ridiculous, your reasoning is flimsy, and your conclusions are insupportable.

The more unlikely one's thesis, the stronger one's proof must be to overcome disbelief. Offering no proof for an assertion as controversial as yours invites ridicule. And I am delighted to provide it.

Do not waste my time with any further submissions except in the improbable event that you obtain conclusive proof of your claims. Even then, a witness credible to the academy must swear to the veracity of your paper and must be willing to co-author it.

I do not expect to hear from you again. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors as a charlatan.

Felicitas Mallicius

Species and Speculation Journal
Altmer

**Altmer**, also called **high elves**, are the native Mer of the Summerset Archipelago, the southwesternmost region of Tamriel. They are among the most cultured and advanced peoples of the continent, and maintain a healthy degree of separation from the other races of the vast continent. Due to their advanced culture and relatively high opinion of themselves, they are often considered 'haughty' by foreigners who mistake their high level of culture and sophistication for rudeness.

Altmer are among the longest-lived races of Mer, able to live up to 300 years without the aid of magic.

## Appearance

Altmer are considered the tallest living race of mortals, their average height being around six feet and a few inches. This was also the average height of the Aldmer, Ayleids, and Chimer, though those three races have all gone extinct, leaving the Altmer as the tallest race of mortals on Tamriel.

## Culture

Many Altmer are well versed in magic, and for the most part hold great respect the practice, which is usually practised by scholars and intellectuals. The sapiarchs of the College are a well-established force in Altmeri society, pratising and teaching magic to those chosen to join their ranks.

The Altmer of the Summerset Archipelago, like their Aldmeri ancestors, refer to their monarchs as 'your Grace' rather than 'your Majesty', though the latter is ocassionally used due to influence from the Empire. This customary usage of 'your Grace' extended to virtually all elven kingdoms of the Merethic and First Eras, who also referred to their monarchs in such a manner, and continues to this day.

### Culinary Arts

High Altmeri society has several customs regarding one's behaviour at the dinner table. Such customs are by no means practised by all nobles, though is prominent enough among the nobility for foreign dignitaries to learn when travelling to the archipelago. These customs include refilling the glass of the diner to your left when it is low; never refilling your own glass. This is typically not practised if servants are present, as they would handle such trifles. Additionally, utensils should never be rested on the edge of any vessel. One should also not eat more than the most prestigious attendee at any function. One should always allow the head of their table to lead the discussion. Watching another as they chew can be considered rude. Some particularly high-strung individuals might consider using the wrong utensil barbaric. If one does not know which to use, they would watch other guests and follow their example.

Apprentice (constellation)

The **Apprentice** is a constellation. It is composed of eight bright stars and three dim stars that form the shape of an apprentice wizard.

## About

The Apprentice burns the brightest in the sky during the month of Sun's Height. It is a common superstition among some cultures of Tamriel to believe that those born under the Apprentice have a greater affinity for magic, and are also more vulnerable to its effects.

The Apprentice is considered to be the charge of the Mage constellation, tasked with defending him from the wrath of the Serpent.
Aldmeri Hegemony

The **Aldmeri Hegemony** was a great territory that spanned much of the continent of Aldmeris, but has since fallen to ruin when it was brought down by a cataclysmic event known as the Sundering of Aldmeris.

At its prime, the Aldmeri Hegemony encompassed most of the southern continent, so much so that legend states the continent was in reality one great city, with no fields, pastures, or forests to be seen. The Hegemony was technically never an empire, however for ease of reference it tends to be referred to as one.

The Hegemony was an advanced civilisation, containing cultural and magical knowledge forever lost during the Sundering. It is unknown what the Hegemony's capital was, as according the legend the entire continent was a single city.
Burning Vestige

***Burning Vestige*** is a series of scholarly books written by Endil, a member of the Mages Guild during the Second Era. It tells of the events surrounding an attack by the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon on a family of witch-hunters.

The book series *Buring Vestige* contains at least two volumes, though only one has survived the tests of time: *Burning Vestige, vol. I*.
Tornado

## Normal Information

A tornado is a rapidly spinning column of air, and usually is formed from a severe thunderstorm known as a supercell. A supercell is a very strong severe thunderstorm and can produce hail, flooding, winds in excess of hurricane force, intense lightning, and yes, tornadoes.

## Facts

### Cause

Warm moist air meets cold dry air, and numerous other reasons.

### Annual Deaths

60

Tornadoes are rated with the Enhanced Fajita Scale, or EF scale for short. From 0 to 5, each one represents a different windspeed range and a different level of damage. EF0 tornadoes do little damage, by blowing out a few windows, blowing away loose and unanchored objects such as garbage cans, damaging roof shingles, breaking high rise objects and branches, pushes cars up the road, but it cannot even lift a human into the air. An EF5 tornado can turn cars, trucks, even small houses into high speed missiles, rip grass and sometimes even dirt right from the ground, mangles cars beyond recognition, completely decimates houses, crumbles concrete and brick structures, can destroy an entire neighborhood, destroying trees, and debarking stronger trees, and sometimes, if it hits a city, the death count is massive.

## Fun Facts

* Also called Twisters, Cyclones, Vortexes or Whirlwinds.
* Most deaths are from debris hitting people, not people sucked into the vortex.
* Has air pressure inside that is equivalent to the air pressure on top of Mount Everest.
* Strongest tornado windspeeds recorded were 315 miles per hour!
* Over 600 tornadoes appear in the United States each year.
* People sometimes misspell the plural word "Tornadoes" as "Tornados."

Avinisse Liaren

Titles | * Lady of Shimmerene
 Allegiances | * House Liaren

**Avinisse Liaren** was an Altmeri noblewoman and head of House Liaren, ruling as Lady of Shimmerene during the Three Banners War. She was known for severely disagreeing with Queen Ayrenn I's policies, leading to her unwittingly contributing to the Triad Plot. It has been suspected by some that she supported the Veiled Heritance, quietly withdrawing her support following the movement's collapse.
Alone

***Alone*** is a work of fiction written in an unknown Era by an unknown author. It tells the tale of spurned Khajiiti woman.

## Contents

ong ago, a girl was born in Elsweyr to two loving parents. Sadly, this girl was born wrong, without a tail and but nubs for ears. The pupils of her eyes were split like a goat's and her teeth were flat like those of a horse. She was spurned and outcast and laughed at by the other Khajiiti children. So terrible!
Even her own parents grew to be ashamed of her, for she was clumsy as well. The girl's balance was awful for her lack of tail and she could not hear as keenly as her kin for her tiny ears. She could not hunt, nor could she steal, nor could she weave magic. The girl felt so, so alone, even in the company of her own kind.

So she ran, far, far away across Tamriel, hiding amongst merchant caravans and eating the most revolting garbage and refuse just to survive. When found, she was tossed out into the mud or beaten with sticks. They called her a monster! How awful!

There was one bright ray in her life, however. One day she encountered a magnificent travelling mummers' troupe, comprised of people much like herself. They did not spurn her for her appearance, for they were as freakish as she! They taught her to play the dulcimer and crush bones with her flat teeth for the amusement of others.

Of course, the girl still felt alone all the time, but she was happy because she realised that she didn't have to be alone by herself.
Adjusted Viewing Guide

This is a quick guide to allow visitors and long-term users who operate from a desktop to view the legendarium as it was meant to be read. These changes will only apply to you.

## Effects

This CSS code will affect only your profile, and only while on this wiki, unless you choose to apply the code globally.

The code will widen the window of the legendarium by removing the side-bar that contains 'Recent Wiki Activity'. It also removes all ads from the page, including the large and intrusive banner on the top of all FANDOM wikis.

(PLANNED) It will also remove all the buttons you find to the left of the search bar at the top of the wiki page. Such buttons are highly irrelevant and certainly do not pertain to the legendarium or even to the regular user experience.

## Guide

### Step 1

Natigate to your Special:MyPage/common.css. If you are new to this legendarium it should be empty.

### Step 2

Hit the 'Create' button on the top right corner of the wiki page.

### Step 3

Copy/paste the following code into your newly created file:

```
/* REMOVE ADS */
@import "/load.php?mode=articles&articles=u:dev:MediaWiki:AdRailRemove/code.css&only=styles";

/* WIDE PAGES + HIDE SIDE BAR */
.WikiaTopAds, .home-top-right-ads, .wikia-ad, .SelfServeUrl,
.WikiaActivityModule, .WikiaFooter, #WikiaArticleBottomAd,
.LatestPhotosModule, .ChatModule, .WikiaAdInContentPlaceHolder,
.WikiaAdInContent, #WikiaNotifications { display:none !important; width: 0px !important; }

.WikiaRail .module, .WikiaRail #RIGHT_SKYSCRAPER, .global-footer, .WikiaRail .loaded, { display: none !important; }

#WikiaRail { display: none !important; width: 0px !important; }

#WikiaMainContent { width: 100% !important; }

.WikiaMainContentContainer { margin-right: 0 !important; }
```

### Step 4

Once the code has been pasted into your file, hit the 'Publish' button on your right-hand toolbar.

You're done! Wait for your CSS to refresh, and you should notice the legendarium's window increase in width significantly.

### Applying Changes Globally

If you like the changes this CSS code makes, you can have it applied globally to all FANDOM wikis you visit, and not just this legendarium.

If you'd like to apply it globally, follow the same steps as above, but instead of navigating to your legendarium-specific CSS, go to w:Special:MyPage/global.css, which is your global CSS.

All other steps are identical. Note that if you are a previous user of FANDOM you may already have edited your global file, and it may contain some code already.

Avinisse Liaren's Letter

**Avinisse Liaren's Letter** was a letter written around 2E 586 by Lady Avinisse Liaren of Shimmerene. The letter was directed at Aldarch Tilcalar Phitris, and told of his recent transfer from an unknown temple to the Monastery of Serene Harmony, as well as their numerous political agreements.

## Contents

My dear Aldarch Tilcalar,
I am so glad you suggested transferring to the beloved monastery. I was happy to use my influence to make that happen. Especially after that insightful discussion we had concerning Queen Ayrenn's radical and frankly dangerous decree. I look forward to working with you to make sure Shimmerene, and indeed all of the archipelago, remains safe and secure.

Your plan to sequester newcomers in order to test their suitability for residency in Shimmerene is a stroke of genius. Determining who has the ability and temperament to become productive members of our society and who does not will allow us to spot troublemakers and lackadaisical transients before any damage is done. It isn't a perfect solution, but it will suffice until we can urge the Unforeseen Queen to rescind this order and send all the nebarra back to where they came from.

Send me a list of candidates you deem acceptable for life in the Isles. I'm sure Proxy Queen Alwinarwe will appreciate having documentation concerning who we permitted to stay and who we sent away. I keep saying that the Isles are sacrosanct. Let Auridon deal with the other races. After all, our "beloved" Queen spends all her time there anyway, carousing with cats and wood elves. I'm sure she'd love more company.

—Lady Avinisse
Aedra and Daedra

***Aedra and Daedra*** is a scholarly work written in an unknown Era by an unknown author. It tells of the differences between various mythical or legendary beings that exist either in fact or in in legend.

## Contents

he designations of gods, demons, aedra, and daedra, are universally confusing to the layman. They are often used interchangeably.
"Aedra" and "daedra" are not relative terms. They are elvish and exact. Azura is a Daedra both in Skyrim and Morrowind. "Aedra" is usually translated as "ancestor," which is as close as the Common Tongue can come to this elven concept. "Daedra" means, roughly, "not our ancestors." This distinction was crucial to the Dunmer, whose fundamental split in ideology is represented in their mythical genealogy.

Aedra are associated with stasis. Daedra represent change.

Aedra created the mortal world and are bound to their creation. Daedra, who cannot create, have the power to change.

As part of the divine contract of creation, the aedra can be killed. Witness Lorkhan and the moons.

The protean daedra, for whom the rules do not apply, can only be banished.
Alinor Royal Fleet

The **Alinor royal fleet** is the navy which serves the monarch on the Marble Throne, the King of Alinor. The fleet is based in the docks at the capitol city, Alinor, and the isle of Wasten Coraldale. It is one of the two most powerful fleets of the Summerset Archipelago, along with the Starborne Armada of Sunhold.

Alinor usually has fifty ships and Wasten Coraldale has one hundred sixty ships, including eighty galleys.
An End to Isolation

***An End to Isolation*** was a royal decree made by Queen Ayrenn I Arana of the Summerset Isles in 2E 586. The decree announced the end to the Isles' long period of isolation from the rest of Tamriel, a move which was seen as akin to treason by both commoners and nobles across the entire Summerset Archipelago, and was one of the contributing factors in the rise of the Court of Bedlam.

## Contents

y Royal Decree of Queen Ayrenn Arana, Queen of the Marble Throne and Eagle Primarch of the Aldmeri Dominion, the Summerset Isles' long period of isolation is declared at an end. No longer will the brave and selfless Altmer hide from the world like spoiled or frightened children. No longer will we cut ourselves off from our allies and friends. Instead, we shall welcome them as brothers and sisters as we throw open the metaphorical gates of our ancestral home and make the Isles accessible to everyone who arrives with friendship in their hearts and an unquestioned desire to engage in dialogue, commerce, and diplomacy.
To accommodate this mandate, we must all put aside our preconceived notions and innate prejudices. We must open our hearts and share our bountiful land with the world. I need the proud Altmer of the Isles to forgive ancient grievances and forget old animosities. We must embrace the differences in stature and culture, thereby allowing friendship to blossom in our breasts. This is not only my steadfast dream, but my royal command.

Lords and ladies, Canonreeves, knights of the Divine Prosecution, citizens of the Isles, make no mistake. The will of your queen and the meaning of this mandate are perfectly clear: The Summerset Isles are no longer off limits or forbidden to the lesser races. Everyone who meets the standards of honour, integrity, and enterprise are welcome, travellers, traders, and immigrants alike. In friendship we formed the Aldmeri Dominion, and in friendship we shall make the Isles an even more perfect paradise. This is not only my fondest wish, but my royal command.
## History

After the founding of the First Aldmeri Dominion, Queen Ayrenn I Arana of the Summerset Isles declared that she would actively encourage foreigners to enter the archipelago. Beforehand the Isles had only allowed foreigners to reside in port cities, and typically for purposes of trade or travel. After Ayrenn's decree, the entire archipelago was opened, causing great cultural damage to the Altmeri people, and generating much political instability. These initial rulings resulted in the rise of the Veiled Heritance and the eventual Veiled Rebellion.

A direct result of Ayrenn's 2E 586 decree was the rise of the sinister Court of Bedlam, which attempted to usurp the power of the Crystal Tower to reshape Nirn. The Court of Bedlam's ranks were mostly filled with ex-Heritance members or Heritance sympathisers from the Summerset Isle.
Altmeri Overseer's Journal

**Altmeri Overseer's Journal** was a journal written sometime in the Second Era by an unknown Altmeri slavemaster of the March on the Summerset Archipelago. The journal details the overseer's observations of his goblin slaves.

## Contents

**12, Last Seed**
The slaves are more agitated than usual today. Last night's beating of the one called Koth seemed to stir him to an emotion other than fear, but the magus assures me the pacification spells upon the creature will keep him in line.

**15, Last Seed**
There was another spat between the kitchen staff and the slaves today. Koth tried to take scraps from the refuse bin without permission and we were forced to have him flogged again in front of his kin. It is becoming difficult to remind the goblins of their place.

**17, Last Seed**
Melanil, the head of the kitchen staff, was found dead in the wine cellar this morning. From all evidence, he took a spill down the stairs and broke his neck, but I remain dubious.

**18, Last Seed**
A fire broke out in the armoury just before dawn. While it was contained before it could spread to the rest of the houshold's grounds, unknown looters made off with some of the weapons. We've petitioned the Lord for more guards in case we have bandits on our hands.

**19, Last Seed**

Koth apparently wishes to speak to me later this afternoon about their living conditions. This should be amusing. I will be heading down to the slave dens with my deputation. A show of force should remind the beasts that they continue to live solely at our discretion. What threats could these goblins possibly pose?
Beer

**Beer** is an alcoholic beverage popular in Tamriel.

## Varieties

Mugs of strong black beer are served at many taverns and inns. Sweet beer is among the beverages served at the White-Gold Tower in the Imperial City. Brown ale, and nut-brown ale is served in more forested areas of Tamriel. Barley beer is also available in Hammerfell and Skyrim. Stouts can be found throughout the continent.

Brown ale and pale small beer is available to many in Tamriel. In Skyrim, commoners drink thin yellow beer. Redguards drink spiced beer, while pale ales are available at very low prices. Fruit beers and bittersweet black ales are offered in Elsweyr. Beer halls offering strong black beer line the shores of Skyrim and Solstheim. Sour ale is sometimes consumed by travellers.

Beer is often stored in casks and kegs, and smaller quantities can be transported in skins. Beer is often served in cups, flagons, horns, mugs, and tankards. Some castles, such as Lariel, Gryphonrock, X, and X have brewhouses. Priories such as Weynon Priory often have brewhouses.
Ayleid Library?

***Ayleid Library?*** was a note written by an unknown author during the late Second Era. It tells of an explorer venturing into an Ayleid ruin in Black Marsh, though the expedition did not go well and the explorer eventually died within the ruins.
