The Aftermath
The Akaviri forces led by King Ilneh and the Fourth Empire led by Empress Romana II concluded with the treaty of Ynslea which marked the end of a five-year invasion. The end of the war also marked the return of Romana II's son Marcus from Skyrim.

Marcus's return to Cyrodiil also marked a morale boost within the Empire, as Romana II also stated that she's glad to have her son safe and sound.

In the post war, Akaviri continued skirmishes against the Empire and the Alliance for the next few hundred years. Soon, after the war, Romana II stated that she'll never claim of re-conquering Akavir, except that her predecessor Claudius Varian III is the only emperor to have successfully conquered Akavir.

A year after, Romana II started off rebuilding her empire, by rebuilding the city of Leyawiin which was almost destroyed by the Akaviri forces, as well helping the Empire's neighboring towns who previously were destroyed by the Akaviri.

In Morrowind, House Selodil remains head of the Grand Council and rulers (or sovereigns) of Morrowind, and with the help of the Empire, sends aid to King Redahyr Selodil, who strengthens the Imperial-Dunmer alliance.

The alliance achieved success, and the Empire's economy, managed to improve the pay damages to their neighbors from Akaviri's destruction.

Under King Redahyr's reign, who ascended the throne in 5E 927, managed to close ties with the Empire and their role in the Tamrielic Alliance.

The Damage and Rebuild
Empress Romana II spent the aftermath of rebuilding the Empire, while helping her allied nations, especially with the Dominion that had joined the Alliance permanently.

In 5E 1025, Tamriel had started to mostly rebuild however it did manage to have major setbacks; including a miner strike in both Morrowind, Skyrim and Cyrodiil for more payment. The Empress's response is by giving way to the miners' demands.

The Dominion, a major ally to the Empire and the Alliance had reached its golden age. The reason for it, it's the Altmeri elite as well helping their human and elven counterparts of rebuilding. In the next five years, Tamriel had been rebuild from their former glory.

By the time Tamriel had fully recovered, it was hot with another plague, which presumably called the "Akaviri Flu." Like most plagues in the previous eras, this plague is special and unique and it's unknown how it was caused or how it spread.

Tamriel was affected by approximately a million people, and almost half of the population died while both Alinor, Cyrodiil and Skyrim were hit the worst.

The flu was considered one of the worst plagues in Tamriel, as well considered the most deadly while killing approximately ten percent of the Tamrielic population.

The most notable who caught the flu was Empress Romana II, nobles from Morrowind, Skyrim and the Dominion, and the High King of Alinor who sadly died a few weeks after being affected.

The Recovery
Romana II somewhat recovered from the flu by either 5E 1027 or 5E 1029 with the help of her doctors and health. Romana II let the historic Imperial architect Caius Severus, alongwith *[sic]* [Do not change this to **along with**. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] his others builders, had rebuilt the Empire and repaired much of the Imperial City, as well had minor damages to the Imperial Palace.

Along with Caius, other architects like the Altmer Kornilroon, the Dunmer Valdamea and Freydis the Architect, completed the Tamriel restoration in 5E 1031.

Romana II's son Marcus started on a Tamriel tour in which he visited multiple nations. First he visited the Summset Isles *[sic]* [Do not change this to **Summerset Isles**. This misspelled word is how it appears in-game.] (or Alinor) to meet High King Ryairil Loraethan of Alinor, to stabilize relations between the Empire and the Dominion. Next the Prince visited Morrowind and then Skyrim in year 5E 1032, and Valenwood in 5E 1033.

When Marcus on a tour, much of the cities he went to was either near completion or under rebuilding due to the damages during the Third Akaviri Invasion.

The Alinorian War
In the Summerset Isles, Marcus had visit cities such as Alinor, the capital, Skywatch and Vulkhel Guard. However his trip was was short due to tensions rising of Calcamar Elsinlock, the deposed High King, who was the son of the High Queen Ayrenn Elsinlock.

Calcamar Elsinlock had started a countercoup against Ryairil who usurped the Alinorian throne sometime around 5E 890. During Ryairil's reign, he had improved relations with the Empire and Skyrim, as well being a ally to the Alliance. However, with Calcamar's presence in the Isles, lead into a five or six year civil war in the Isles who was commonly known as the "Alinorian Isle War."

However due to Romana II had heard about a civil war in the Isles, decided not to enter the Altmer war, and doesn't want to interfere the war, and only wanted to the Altmer to settle this and was concerned about which outcome that might affect the economy and the relations between the Empire and the Dominion.

Ryairil's policies had been drift away from the Elven supremacy that was previously held by previous Alinorian monarchs, and that he stated that the supremacy over men and mer. He also claimed that the Elsinlock Dynasty uses the deity Talos situation and the Dominion forced the Empire to ban Talos, which caused the Nords of Skyrim turned against the Empire.

The civil war had already destructed most of the Elven cities (which most of the cities are rebuild years later), and the capital city Alinor are untouched by Ryairil's magical reforms. In 5E 1034, the first major battle was at near Skywatch, which High King Ryairil's victory over Calcamar's forces. The battle as described as on the dark, thunderstorm day battle near the city of Skywatch. The High King Ryairil with Arelyon, the Duke of Skywatch met Calcamar with his allies met each other at the Entila's Folly.

The battle was the bloodiest battle in Altmeri history, while High King Ryairil won, but with heavy losses, while Calcamar had more casualties than Ryairil. Altmeri historians' records about the battle had stated that Ryairil formed a shield wall while Calcamar's mistake (either full-scale assault or distrust of his advisors) caused him the battle.

After the battle, both forces return to their respective cities. The following year in 5E 1035, Ryairil's forces took control of Auridon by defeating Calcamar's forces at Battles of Glister Vale in 5E 1035, Silsilen and Vulkhel Guard in 5E 1036. By that time in 5E 1036, Ryairil fought Calcamar multiple times in the Summerset Isle, while the former High King Calcamar's claim to the throne was by "right of conquest."

However Ryairil's rhythm had to took a toll on his health mentally, and with that Calcamar who take the opportunity and launched his counter offensive, and proclaimed to take back his right as High King. A huge blow to Ryairil's reputation and legacy is his claim of supporting the Empire was false and saying about the Elisnlock Dynasty with false information, and in reality the Elisnlocks had already moved away from the Elven supremacy motion at the dawn of the Fifth Era.

Ryairil was his first defeat by Calcamar at the battle at Shimmerene, which had stated by historians to be a large scale battle that it was so large that clashing from the two armies can be heard in the Isles. Calcamar than defeat Duke Arelyon twice at the Siege of Glister Vale in 5E 1037, and Shimmerence in 5E 1038.

By the end of 5E 1038, the people and cities of Alinor, Skywatch and Lillandril turned against him, and in the first months of 5E 1039, let Calcamar about Ryairil's whereabouts, and eventually had started traveled back to Alinor without him noticing the capital rise against him. Eventually unnoticed to be his downfall, Ryairil had reached the main gates at Alinor, he was assassinated by an archer which his body was tossed and burned to the ground, officially ending the civil war.

Calcamar return to the Alinorian throne and become High King again, and with that Calacmar re-established relations with the Empire despite Ryairil's claimed to be one. Empress Romana II also one of the Tamrielic Alliance members sent their congratulations and condolences to Calacmar.
