*"Fort Frostmoth will never fall! Long live the Empire!"*
―General Falx Carius[src]
**General Falx Carius** is an Imperial found in Fort Frostmoth, located on the island of Solstheim. He is the antagonist of the quest "March of the Dead."

## Appearance

Carius most notably has no pupils in his eyes and a Heart Stone embedded in his chest. He wears a unique armor that has a chest design similar to General Tullius' Armor, but with a nearly identical appearance to the Penitus Oculatus Armor. His armor also has a brace which holds his heart stone in place, and he also wears unobtainable Imperial Bracers, boots, and an Imperial Helmet.

## Interactions

### March of the Dead

He is found during the quest March of the Dead inside Fort Frostmoth. He has been resurrected by a necromancer called Ildari Sarothril. At first, he tried to kill her and called her an "enemy" and a "spy." He can later be found behind a locked door.

## Combat

He is extremely strong, capable of doing severe harm. He summons Ash Spawn to aid him in battle and uses the Champion's Cudgel, a unique warhammer that randomly inflicts fire, frost, or shock damage.

## Equipment

He wears unique equipment that looks identical to Imperial armor. Unobtainable through regular means, his armor can only be obtained via console commands. His equipment is:

* Falx Helmet
* Falx Gauntlets
* Falx Boots
* Heartstone Necklace
* General Carius' Armor

## Quotes

* *"Men, an invader has entered the fort! Prepare yourselves for an ambush!"*
* *"I've...failed..."*

## Trivia

* The details of his reanimation from *Ildari's Journal* seem to be a reference to the classic Frankenstein's reanimation, such as the aimless assault and need for restraint.
* If his armor is removed using either console or mods, the heart stone is clearly visible on his chest.

Ehlnofey

*"On the world of Nirn, all was chaos. The only survivors of the twelve worlds of Creation were the Ehlnofey and the Hist. The Ehlnofey are the ancestors of Mer and Men. The Hist are the trees of Argonia."*
―*The Annotated Anuad*
**Ehlnofey**, also known as the **Earth Bones**, are the faded descendants of the Aedra who walked Tamriel, as well as the ancestors of men and mer.

## Background

A large fragment of the Ehlnofey world landed on Nirn relatively intact, and the Ehlnofey living there were the ancestors of the Mer. These Ehlnofey fortified their borders from the chaos outside, hid their pocket of calm, and attempted to live on as before. Other Ehlnofey arrived on Nirn scattered amid the confused jumble of the shattered worlds, wandering and finding each other over the years.

Eventually, the wandering Ehlnofey found the hidden land of Old Ehlnofey, and were amazed and joyful to find their kin living amid the splendor of ages past. The wandering Ehlnofey expected to be welcomed into the peaceful realm, but the Old Ehlnofey looked on them as degenerates, fallen from their former glory. For whatever reason, war broke out, and raged across the whole of Nirn.

The Old Ehlnofey retained their ancient power and knowledge, but the Wanderers were more numerous, and toughened by their long struggle to survive on Nirn. This war reshaped the face of Nirn, sinking much of the land beneath new oceans, and leaving the continents that would be later known as Tamriel, Akavir, Pyandonea and Atmora; with Yokuda having been completely lost beneath the ocean's surface. The Old Ehlnofey realm, although ruined, became Tamriel. The remnants of the Wanderers were left divided on the other three continents.

The Wandering Ehlnofey are the ancestors of Men and the Old Ehlnofey are the ancestors of Mer, according to *The Annotated Anuad*.

Freydis of Eastmarch

*Not to be confused with Freydis Strong-Blade.*
**Freydis of Eastmarch** was High Queen of Eastern Skyrim during the Second Era. She was said to have ruled over Windhelm. She was the daughter of High King Logrolf, however, Jarl Svartr of Solitude claimed she was an illegitimate child and thus that she had no claim to the throne. Having ownership over the Crown of Verity, Freydis was named High Queen in the city of Windhelm, and her successors would rule there for years to come.

## Trivia

* The Crown of Verity was renamed the "Crown of Freydis" in her honor either by her or by her heirs.
* Freydis's Sword is a central item in a miscellaneous quest in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it is given by Oengul War-Anvil in Windhelm.

Empress Tavia

**Empress Tavia** was the last Empress of the Reman Dynasty and consequently married to the last Emperor of the Reman Dynasty, Reman III. In 1E 2899, her husband suspected her of treason, and therefore sent her to be imprisoned and held in Castle Giovesse, located in Gideon, Black Marsh, for fear of revolution.

It is thought that upon her death, Empress Tavia's skull was dipped in gold and encrusted with gems. This skull would later go on to be known as the "Giovessen Skull," and became a valuable artifact among collectors. For a time it was also rumored that the skull was simply a clever fake, and actually belonged to some long-dead Breton prisoner in Hammerfell's dungeons.

This doubt, however, was dispelled in the Second Era by an Imperial historian, who also theorized that the rumors were started by a previous owner of the skull in order to discourage thievery of the artifact.

Elder Wilds

History, of course, begins with creation. Sadly, all of the objectivity and solid evidence we require of other events in our records must be dismissed at this early point. Within each province, each culture, each religion, each family there exists a different understanding of how Nirn came to be. It defines us, this belief in where we came from.

That said, one persistent story that is accepted by many cultures is that as the world congealed into reality, the Gods made a great tower to discuss how best to proceed with the making of Mundus. The physical, temporal, spiritual, and magical elements of Nirn were set at this convention, and the tower itself remained behind even as some of the Gods disappeared into Aetherius. Today it is the Adamantine Tower on the Isle of Balfiera between High Rock and Hammerfell in the Iliac Bay. That such a humanoid structure remains the sole footprint of the Aedra speaks perhaps of the essentially mortal nature of Nirn.

It is generally understood that neither proto elves, Aldmer, nor the proto men, or Nedics, lived in Tamriel during the earliest years of creation. The Hist Trees of Black Marsh, most say, were the original life forms on Tamriel, followed by the progenitors of the modern Khajiit, the modern Argonian, the modern Sload, the modern Dreugh, and other beast folk, some now gone from the land, some so shy or rare that their presence is seldom detected.

In what historians call the Mythic Era, the years before formal historical reckoning, the Aldmer came to Tamriel from the legendary mysterious land called Old Ehlnofey or Aldmeris. They settled in the Summerset Isles, and then began to spread out eastward. The Nedic people meanwhile came from the frozen land of Atmora to the north to what is today Skyrim. Where elves and men met, inevitably, there was hostility.

The Aldmer changed over time culturally according to their new environments, being at first temperamentally and then physically very distinct races separate from one another. The ones who stayed in Summerset became known as the Altmer, in Valenwood, Bosmer, in Morrowind, Chimer and Dwemer, in Cyrodiil, Ayleid, a mix between Nedic and Aldmer birthed the Bretons. The Orsimer or Orcs were also created at this time, Altmer warped by the destruction of their leader Trinimac, who it is said became the Daedric Prince Malacath. This disparate chorus may have been crafted consciously by the Daedra or the shifts of the earthbones.
Cathnoquey

**Cathnoquey** is an island in an archipelago that was conquered by Uriel Septim V, and is located in between Tamriel and Akavir. Conquered in 3E 276, it was the second of four islands conquered by Uriel Septim V and the Expeditionary Force.

*"I am Captain Falx Carius, commander of Fort Frostmoth."*
―Falx Carius[src]
**Falx Carius** is a Imperial Captain and later a General of the Imperial Legion and commander of Fort Frostmoth sometime before 3E 427. He had numerous dealings with the Nerevarine during the latter's journeys on Solstheim. He is presumably killed in the Eruption of the Red Mountain or its following ash storms in year 4E 5, however was resurrected by a necromancer Ildari Sarothril as a undead general and went on to live another six hundred years before was slain by Nelilia Sedaleth in 5E 870. He also rumored that he exploits the Redoran Guard, including helping in the founding of Raven Rock.

## By game

* Falx Carius (Bloodmoon)
* Falx Carius (Dragonborn)

## History

### Third Era

Carius volunteered for the posting of Captain at Fort Frostmoth. His subordinates theorized that it was because he had some sort of a death wish or had lost a bet, but the true reason is unknown. They viewed him as being a do-gooder who went strictly by the book, but was still a good man who, while tough, was also fair.

Falx Carius was a Imperial captain and commander of Fort Frostmoth. He was a Knight Protector of the Imperial Legion on Solstheim in 3E 427. During his time as Garrison Commander in 3E 427, Carius came into contact with the Nerevarine. Of no relevance to the choices made by the player in game, Carius found himself abducted by the Daedric Lord Hircine and forced against his will to partake in a series of trials during the events of the Bloodmoon Prophecy, along with others on Solstheim. He was forced to confront the Nerevarine inside the Mortrag Glacier, but it is unknown whether or not he survived this encounter.

### Fourth Era

His subsequent appearance inside Fort Frostmoth, and his increased rank (from Captain to General), imply that he was spared by the Nerevarine. He was presumably killed in the Eruption of the Red Mountain or its following ash storms.

### Fifth Era

In over 600 years, his death was interrupted when he was resurrected by a powerful necromancer and ultimately killed by Nelilia Sedaleth during the events of Miraak's Insurrection. He was unaware of his own death and resurrection, thinking no time had passed and little had changed.[*source?*]

Essential Characters (Invasion)

*For other uses, see Essential Characters.*
**Essential characters** are NPCs that, at some point during in *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*, cannot be killed in any way whatsoever. If their health is depleted, they fall to one knee, shortly recovering completely. Followers lie somewhat in this category, whereas they can only be killed if the Melgreah is the one to deliver the final blow or if they are repeatedly attacked in this downed state. In addition, essential characters are unable to be pickpocketed of some equipped weapons, or any equipped items.

Similarly, some characters are listed as "Protected." This means they can be killed, but only by the Dragonborn; not by followers or enemies.

There are many characters vital to the progression of quests, and if killed, would effectively render large portions of the game completely broken. To safeguard against this, certain characters are marked as "essential" by the game. Some characters lose this essential flag after their crucial role is fulfilled; these actors then become "unessential" and can be killed.

Grand Council

The **Grand Council** is the central body of representatives from each Great Houses of Morrowind. Morrowind is governed by the Grand Council of five Great Houses, House Redoran, House Telvanni, House Sadras, House Indoril, and House Dres, who rule alongside the Hortator, previously the King of Morrowind. House Hlaalu previously sat on the Council, but lost its seat to House Sadras in the early Fourth Era.

Each Great House governs a district on mainland Morrowind: Redoran in the northwest, Sadras in the western center, Telvanni in the east, Indoril in the central heartlands and Dres in the southeast.

The current Grand Council convenes in the Rootspire, located in the Redoran capital of Blacklight.

## History

In 1E 416, the Chimeri hero Indoril Nerevar and the Dwemer leader Dumac Dwarfking created the First Council of Resdayn to jointly rule the area as an independent nation and to succeed in driving the invading Nords out of the region.

Resdayn flourished for a few hundred years until the War of the First Council broke out between the secular Dwemer and the orthodox Great Houses. After Nerevar's death, three of his Lieutenants from House Indoril, Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil, succeeded to control of the Council, which they renamed the Grand Council of Morrowind.

House Indoril, due to their association with Nerevar and the Tribunal, remained the dominant party in the Grand Council right through until the end of the Second Era.Throughout this time, the Grand Council was responsible for local governance in Morrowind, while Morrowind as a whole was ruled indirectly by the Tribunal.

House Hlaalu became the dominant party after the Treaty of the Armistice was signed by Tiber Septim and Vivec in 2E 896. This is because House Hlaalu were the only house to advocate accommodation throughout this period. House Hlaalu also gained more power by the mass suicide by House Indoril and the assassination of the Lord High Councilor who in turn was an Indoril, and placed a Hlaalu in the position.

In the Third Era, King Helseth of Morrowind reformed the Grand Council, which many saw as a move to a more traditional Dunmer Regieam.

In the Fourth Era, House Hlaalu was used as a scapegoat for all Dunmeri problems and was stripped of Great House status and House Sadras took their place. House Redoran, became the prominent power on the Grand council and moved the Capital to Blacklight.

In the Fifth Era, The Council abolished the title of King as their head of state and was replaced by the Hortator.

Dragon Cult

## [Source]

The **Dragon Cult** is an organization of Dragon Priests that ruled over Skyrim during the Merethic Era. Another prominent figure in the cult was Alduin, the ruler of dragons.

## History

The cultists were some of the first men to arrive on Tamriel from the continent of Atmora. These cultists worshipped many animals as avatars of the gods, the dragons among them. The dragons granted the cultists terrible power in exchange for complete obedience. The Dragon Priests demanded tribute from the populace and created laws to keep peace between men and the Dragons.

### Bromjunaar

The ruins of modern-day Labyrinthian were originally built as a temple to the Dragons. This grew into Bromjunaar, a great city of that era. Bromjunaar is believed by some to have been the capital of Skyrim at the height of the Dragon Cult's influence there. It was believed that the highest ranking Priests of the cult met at Labyrinthian to discuss matters of ruling.

### Downfall

Eventually, men rebelled against the cruelty of Alduin and his Dragon Cult in what is known as the Dragon War. A large number of the cultists were killed and the survivors were overthrown.

The survivors adapted and went into hiding. They built the Dragon mounds, entombing the remains of the dragons that died during the war with the belief that Alduin would one day return and resurrect the faithful.

One of the last remnants of the cult was found by Skorm Snow-Strider in the secluded monastery of Forelhost high in the Jerall Mountains in 1E 139.

### Revival

Soon after the re-birth of Alduin in 4E 201 a new cult formed, only this time spearheaded by the first Dragonborn and Dragon Priest Miraak in service to himself, having forsaken the dragons long ago in a bid for power. Mostly restricted to the Isle of Solstheim, they attempted to assassinate the Last Dragonborn, re-build the Temple of Miraak, and corrupt the All-Maker Stones by indoctrinating the local populace into building his shines around them.

## Notable places of worship

## Interactions

It is presumed that the numerous Draugr found within Nordic ruins were members of the Dragon Cult, punished by the dragons to serve them for eternity.

Dragon Bridge

**Dragon Bridge** is a major settlement located near the Karth River Estuary in the Haafingar region of Skyrim.

## By game

* Dragon Bridge (Arena)
* Dragon Bridge (Skyrim)

## Description

### Geography

As mentioned before, Dragon Bridge is located near the Karth River Estuary, which is north of town. If you were to travel to Solitude from Markarth, then you will have to go through Dragon Bridge before heading into town. The main road goes through town and because of this, houses and inns are located on this stretch of road. A lumber mill is located on the southern end of town, and it uses the waterfall to work the mill.

## History

### Early Years

In the area near modern-day Dragon Bridge, the Ancient Nords built a bridge resembling a Dragon, and this became a significant landmark in the area. Many people decided to settle near the bridge, and it formed the town of Dragon Bridge.

### Third Era

*Main article: Dragon Bridge (Arena)*
During the Imperial Simulacrum, the Dragon Bridge township existed in Skyrim in between the towns of Solitude and Markarth Side. At one point, the Eternal Champion had visited the town on their quest for a piece of the Staff of Chaos to defeat Jagar Tharn at the Imperial Palace.

### Fourth Era

*Main article: Dragon Bridge (Skyrim)*
The town of Dragon Bridge was under the control of the city of Solitude. The town provided lumber to Solitude with its lumber mill. Whoever had control of Solitude, they had control of the Haafingar region and Dragon Bridge. When Empress Marisya Septim traveled to Skyrim, the Penitus Oculatus had an outpost in Dragon Bridge.

Varnius Junius of Dragon Bridge reported strange occurrences in the nearby Wolfskull Cave that has scared off people in Dragon Bridge. Jarl Elisif the Fair in Solitude took note of the incident and sent the Last Dragonborn to investigate the cave. It was revealed that a group of Necromancers, possibly from the Horme group of rebels, were resurrecting Potema Septim, the Wolf-Queen of Solitude. The Dragonborn defeated the Necromancers and saved Dragon Bridge.

In Solitude, Vittoria Vici was assassinated during her wedding by the Dark Brotherhood of Skyrim resulting in the Penitus Oculatus upping the ante with their defense. The Brotherhood was tasked to frame Gaius Maro by killing him and leaving an incriminating letter from him supporting the Stormcloaks. Gaius left Dragon Bridge to never return again.

Elder

File:Frida.png
**Elders** are a special race category found in *The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim*. The category is composed of characters who appear much older than most inhabitants of Skyrim.

## Description

The Elder race is assigned to older human characters only (Nords, Bretons and Imperials). There are, however, no elders of the Redguard race. The Mer (Altmer, Bosmer, Dunmer and Orcs), and beastfolk (Argonians and Khajiits) races also have no elders.

These elder characters are treated as a somewhat separate race, although most also retain their original race. For example, Esbern is listed as part of the Elder race, although he is also a Nord.

The difference between regular races and the Elder race is purely aesthetic, and found mainly as a game data.

When heading for the docks, Cyrus was stopped by Duadeen's men. He told them that an emergency had come up and that he would not be able to make it, though Duadeen did not believe them, taking it for a petty excuse. Cyrus killed one of his minions, threatening Duadeen that he would kill them all. In turn, Duadeen allowed Cyrus to leave unharmed, though warned him not to return to High Rock.
