Anvil

Anvil is a port city located on the southwestern part of the Gold Coast in Cyrodiil. It is found on the end of the Gold Road, west of Kvatch and Skingrad, and leads into the Abecean Sea.

First Era
Bendu Olo, was king of Anvil during the First Era. He created the All Flags Navy, which was created from many nations and countries, to defeat the threat of the Sload.

After the fall of the Alessian Empire, like many Colovian cities, Anvil became estranged from the rest of Cyrodiil. The once-worthy kings of the cities became thief-barons of a forgotten covenant.

Second Era
In 2E 576, after Varen Aquilarios of Chorrol and Carolus Aquilarios of Kvatch declared independence from Emperor Leovic, Count Ephrem Benirus sent the troops of Anvil to seize Varen's holdings in the Gold Coast. His forces were soon defeated by Carolus, and few soldiers of the city remained. The Pirate Queen of the Red Sails, Fortunata ap Dugal, docked into Anvil's port in 2E 577. She and her army of pirates quickly captured Anvil, declaring the Gold Coast an independent region from Varen's empire.

Third Era
Torradan ap Dugal, the infamous Pirate captain and leader of the Red Sabres, was defeated by Count Fasil Umbranox.

Fourth Era
In 4E 171, Lady Arannelya crossed Anvil and Kvatch into Hammerfell. In 4E 172, the Third Aldmeri Dominion advanced further into Cyrodiil, and Anvil was captured. The Imperial Legion was forced to retreat, and could not retrieve wounded soldiers on the battlefield.
