#The Ash’abah

###By Nessia Accevus, Imperial Scholar

The “Ash’abah, The Unclean. Those who are considered to be the dregs of society, but also a sacred order. Skilled warriors, but considered cowards. A life filled with burden and purpose, but in the end, they must beg and hope Tu’waccha will be merciful in his judgement of their souls for their heinous service.

##Their Purpose

The Ash’abah are a tribe are Redguard nomads, who roam the vast province, hunting undead and other ills of necromancy, while also performing burial rites and consecrating tombs. In essence, they are like traveling battle priests. While to many non-Redguard readers,

Wayrest, despite being a Breton Kingdom, has for most of history been a more-or-less friendly Kingdom to Sentinel. Viewed as the better of the likes of Daggerfall and Evermore, Wayrest has always been the go-to Breton Kingdom to maintain ties to.

Following the Great War, the War for Hammerfell, and The Corsair attack on Wayrest, Sentinel and Wayrest had not interacted often, though King Cyrim seeks to fix this. An envoy has been dispatched to Wayrest, to discuss diplomacy and politics.

#4E 180

It had been three months since the signing of the Treaty of Stros M’kai. Cyrim had stayed on a villa near Port Hunding, where he oversaw the ending of the war for the last few months, as the war had transitioned into a naval conflict. This villa, belonging to the Queen of the Abecean Isles, has been repurposed as a sort of Diplomatic center for Cyrim. It speaks to the immense influence and power Cyrim had culminated in the war, that the Treaty was signed in this villa, and not the Palace in Port Hunding. At only Twenty-Two years old, King Cyrim “the Hammer” of Sentinel has earned his place in Hammerfell’s history, as one of the great Kings, among the ranks of Fahara'jad, Thassad I

The sun blazed on Kematu as his cart continued to stroll down the road. He sat with his feet on a footrest, as his men drove the cart. To most people, the sun and heat would be an annoyance, but he had spent the better part of ten years in High Rock and Skyrim, and his return to Hammerfell had been a great comfort. He glanced at the back of the cart, where two of his warriors sat, with the prisoner, Saadia in between. Since her capture, she had only put up a struggle for about a day and a half, before realizing the futility, and simply complying. Kematu was an agent of the Sullied Blade, a group in service to Princess Rashida of Sentinel. He has been

The cult of Satakaal had always been a controversial group. Throughout the Redguard’s presence in Tamriel, the cult was repeatedly banned and allowed every century of two. Finally, during the Oblivion Crisis, the Cult reached its Zenith, as it had proclaimed the Daedric invasion was simply the world softening itself for the arrival of Satakal, and the end of this cycle. This doomsaying got the ire of the different rulers of Hammerfell, who did not approve of the cult's continual doomsaying, hurting the morale of the already worn Redguard forces, as they battled Daedra. At the end of the Crisis, The different rulers of Hammerfell convened, and agreed to ban the Cult permanently. This had led

The peace between Hammerfell and the Dominion was thought to be tentative. One thing remains for sure. Cyrim had no doubt in his mind that the Elves would return eventually, and no doubt stronger after being forced off Hammerfell by just its inhabitants. But years passed, and things were quiet. In fact, one could be bold enough to say that things were well as can be, between Elven supremacist and a Kingdom of Man.

Part of this undoubtly has been by measures to curtail piracy in the Abecean Isles, as no doubt piracy only aims to grow the ire of not only the Dominion, but the Empire. On that end, a diplomatic mission has been assembled, to meet with the Thalmor. It had been years since the l

The Kingdom of Orsinium sits on the edge of Hammerfell, in a critical location between Hammerfell, Skyrim, and High Rock. It is no doubt an anomaly, but it serves its purpose. While skirmishes have occurred semi-frequently, peace between the Kingdom of Hammerfell and this Orc Kingdom has endured. With news of a civil war in Skyrim, and the death of the Emperor, it is critical that Orsinium be settled as an ally of Hammerfell, as its independence would ensure that the borders between High Rock, Skyrim, and Hammerfell be in Hammerfell's favor.

An envoy, Sir Kayein, will be sent to Skyreach, to meet with the King of the Orcs, and establish a treaty with them.

”For Hammerfell!”

Yelling. Metal Clashing. Horses neighing. Arrows whistling in the air. Grunts. Blood splattering on the ground.

This was the world around Cyrim. The Sentinel Army had crashed into the Dominion Army. The Elven Army, which had just barely enough time to turn to face them, were pierced by Sentinel’s cavalry charge. Sentinel was one of the few Redguard Kingdoms that employed heavy cavalry in their army, given their proximity to High Rock, and relatively cooler lands. The opening created by the cavalry gave way for Cyrim and his army to enter close range combat. Redguard warriors were nigh unmatched when it came to individual combat. While Redguard armies still had thei

#4E 178 Only a week since the death of King Lhotun III, and a few days since the coronation of King Cyrim, and the siege of Hegathe has been going on for two weeks now

The nobles were squabbling amongst each other, barely letting one talk over the other.

“How much longer?” said Lord Jineh “My villages laid to waste, and any day my city can be set upon by that scourge of Mer!” several other coastal lords clamored in support. Cyrim watched the lords, who had barely even acknowledged he was in the room.

“If we do anything rash, we risk losing our armies, just like Hegathe. We must prepare defenses and amass our forces” said Lord Malazad, who received several approving grumbles fr

Sentinel, the bulwark of Hammerfell, for centuries its gleaming walls and towers stood as the symbol of Redguard glory. For centuries, it had been in the center of Redguard influence in Tamriel. In Hammerfell, it had been the capital of the Forebear faction, the opposing force of the Crowns. In time of its inclusion in the Empire, it had been the home of splendid legionnaires and commanders. But that changed at the hands of the scourge of the Aldmeri Dominion and the traitors Empire. Hammerfell found itself as the target of the Elven forces, and they had laid waste to the South twice. The first time, the Empire came to the rescue or more accurately, it had taken all the brunt of the force.

#History of Solitude (2E 582-2E 842)

The Kingdom of Solitude has stood as a Bastion of trade and civilization in the wild lands of Northwestern Tamriel. Thanks to the wisdom of its kings, the city sits on a near-perfect location for trading and defense, and through this, it has mastered commerce and conquest. Because of this, it has often been able to rival the older cities of Winterhold and Windhelm despite being less historically significant. This rivalry came to a head with the division of Skyrim between the Western and Eastern Kingdoms.

Under King Svargrim, the Holds of Hjaalmarch, Whiterun, and Falkreath all swore allegiance to Solitude, and the Kingdom of Western Skyrim had been st

The Empire is in a volatile state, with the Reman dynasty gone, the existence of the Empire is at stake, and more important, Colovia might be in danger.

Therefore, Count Cavand Rauvan, the young Count of Anvil, has sent messengers to all Counts of Colovia with the following message:

My fellow brothers [and sisters, I don't know if someone has a countess] of the Colovian Highlands,

We stand at a dire crossroad. Our Emperor lays dead, and in his place is an Akavari Potentate. What this entails for our beloved Empire is unknown, however with the legions withdrawn, and the regions beyond Cyrodiil being essentially released, we must now ask where the Colovian Estates stand on all o

#Anvil, 2E 0

Anvil has had a storied history. The “city” was itself just a collection of roughly built shacks which housed all sorts of unsavory characteristics. The lands now known as the Barony of Anvil were infamous for being under the control of various Pirate Warlords. In 1E 1997, a Mercenary Captain from Kvatch, Levola Olo set out with his army, and aimed to settle the wild lands of Western Colovia. With support from the other Colovian Kingdoms, Levolva was able to wrestle control of Anvil from the Pirate Warlords.

With his victory, and newly acquired lands, he began construction of a new Fortress, Fortress Anvil. It would be his grandson,

###Elinhir

Elinhir is a friend to the Empire, and so in this time of dire strait, any volunteer forces would be greatly appreciated.

The Empire will be glad to pay Elinhir for their assistance of any force they are willing to send to assist.

###Eastern Forebear Kingdom

While the Eastern Forebear Kingdom and the Empire have decent enough relations, they should realize the threat that the Aldmeri Dominion poses to them. If the Empire, with it's vast resources and durable legions cannot withstand the onslaught of the Elves, the Eastern

There is no greater honor than the defense of one's homeland. Especially from those who seek to destroy it and take all that we hold dear. How can this fledgling abomination of hastily and forcibly assembled Kingdoms hope to ever conquer the mighty Empire, which has, and will always stand as the hope of Tamriel? Volunteer today, and show these aggressors the might of the Empire!

First and foremost, the Church of the Nines shall be contacted. The Divine Crusader Cyrus was tasked with the divines to ensure peace under the grace of Mara, however the Elves, in their usual disregard have broken that peace. Therefore it is o
