This was only possible as the Imperial Legionnaires stationed in Markarth were recalled to fight, leaving the city vulnerable. While the Empire was beset by the Aldmeri Dominion in the Great War, the native Breton people of the Reach, called the Reachmen, took this opportunity to seize control of the city. In 4E 174, Markarth and the Reach was subjected to what is known today as the Forsworn Uprising. The Markarth Incident Main article: Markarth Incident However, many were not satisfied by the terms of the White-Gold Concordat, mainly Skyrim due to the outlaw of Talos worship. Thirty years after the Great War, the Empire had achieved peace with the Dominion. Titus then agreed to most of the terms of the treaty that he originally rejected, which became known as the White-Gold Concordat. Titus is said to have led the assault himself, wielding the artifact sword Goldbrand, although some claim that this was done by another Hero, who has been forgotten to history. įollowing the Dominion's initial successes, Titus Mede made the decision to abandon the Imperial City and join up with reinforcements from High Rock, which were then divided and used to destroy the Thalmor army sacking the Imperial City. Mede rejected this, leading to a declaration of war. The Aldmeri Dominion issued an ultimatum to the Empire at the Imperial City in 4E 171 demanding that the Blades be disbanded, that the Empire cede portions of Hammerfell to the Dominion and outlaw the worship of Talos.

Main article: Titus Mede II 15 years later, a coup in the province dissolved the Elsweyr Confederacy and recreated the ancient kingdoms of Anequina and Pelletine as client states of the Aldmeri Dominion. Its most notable effect however was to cause panic among the Khajiit, who dubbed the Thalmor saviors after they claimed to have instigated their return in 4E 100. During this time the Empire continued to disintegrate, with the Void Nights bringing chaos across Tamriel, including the assassination of at least one Jarl of Skyrim.

Unknown rulership (?–4E 168) įollowing the death of Titus Mede, a period of unknown rulers began, although presumably his son Attrebus was his immediate successor. We can only assume that his line continued through Attrebus, potentially with Annaïg Hoïnart, with whom he was romantically involved during Umbriel's rise and destruction. There is no record of the year of Titus Mede I's death. ĭuring Titus' reign, the Blades ceased performing their role as the Emperor's bodyguards, and were replaced by the Penitus Oculatus. During this period Hierem attempted to form an alliance with the An-Xileel against the Thalmor.

The Empire did little to respond officially, although Titus' son Prince Attrebus was involved in its destruction. Titus' reign also saw the creation of Umbriel, and a potential attack on the Imperial City from it. Following Alinor's annexation of Valenwood in 4E 29, it severed all ties with the Empire. In particular, the nation of Alinor was proclaimed, following the overthrow of the old Summerset Isles royal family. Despite his efforts to secure the empire following the Stormcrown Interregnum, Titus Mede I's reign saw its continued disintegration. Titus Mede I became emperor in or around 4E 17. Titus Mede overthrew him and, with the help of Minister Hierem satisfied the Elder Council that he was, if not a legitimate ruler then preferable to any alternative. Seven years after Ocato's murder, a Nibenese witch-warrior known as Thules the Gibbering was ruling in Cyrodiil. However, the Elder Council and the administrative structure of the Third Empire remained intact. The murder of Chancellor Ocato in the years following the Oblivion Crisis began the Stormcrown Interregnum, with various factions vying for the Ruby Throne.
