" in  4E 175  Titus Mede II signed the  White-Gold Concordat  at the end of the  Great War, a treaty between the  Empire  and the  Aldmeri Dominion , that banned  Talos  worship in the Empire and the disbandment of the  Blades  for the  Penitus Oculatus . This event led to the  Markarth Incident , which itself sparked the  Civil War  in  Skyrim  between the  Stormcloaks  and the  Imperial Legion. "
