Through many strange portents, a child, Reman Cyrodiil, was born of this blessing, and upon his brow wore the Amulet of Kings. It was in these days that great king of the North pursued the ghost of Alessia, and upon his final discovery of her, received her blessing. Tamriel shattered into an era of strife and destruction. The First Empire reigned for many centuries, but came to an end after its age of glory. The Empire eventually would return to primarily worshiping the Eight, but many, especially the Men of the North, would never falter in their loyalty to mighty Shor.

It was this First Empire that established monotheism, the faith of Shezarr, known elsewhere as Shor and Lorkhan, the God of Nirn, the vigilant protector of the human race.

The Empire of Alessia conquered many foes after the Ayleids, uniting much of Tamriel. The Empire has struggled and lived on, in many forms, rises and falls. The power of the Amulet granted all who possessed the mark of the Dragon-Born the power to seal off the realms of the damned from the mortal world, that as long as one who wore the Amulet lived, the hosts of Oblivion would be held at bay. The gods gave her the Amulet of Kings, a gem of great power, the sigil of the Eight Divines willing to come to the aid of Man. Saint Alessia, the queen of the rebel armies, made a pact with the gods, that she and all her descendants would be Dragon-Born in exchange for divine protection.

It was after centuries of oppression that the human slaves who inhabited the Nibenland rose up and overthrew their Elven masters. For in the dark days of the First Era, the High Elves of the Heartland, the Ayleids, made slaves of the humans who dwelt in their lands, and treated them with unimaginable cruelty. In the height of its power, not an inch of land in all Tamriel was not at least nominally part of the Empire.īut the beginnings of the Empire were humble. The Emperors have long commanded endless realms and armies by their decrees, and by the edicts of the Elder Council. The Dragon-Throne of the Emperor has long been the most sacred and powerful seat in all of Tamriel.
