 The Second battle of Red mountain: 

 An imperial account on the events that happened in the second battle of red mountain. Or commonly known. The Vidron Crisis.

 By Allecius Valentia 4E 224

 Back in 4E 215 a powerful wizard, by the name of Vidron entered the pages of history, where he came from, is lost to history. His motivation and goal however are still known. The enslavement of the whole of Tamriel. Presumably influenced by deadric powers he managed to take hold of Red mountain in the dusty Ashlands of Morrowind, on the Island of Vvardenfell that had mostly been abandoned since the last eruption an era ago. Vidron's first tyranny formed in the destruction of several towns in Morrowind and even all the way down to Black March. This way he instilled fear across the entire eastern empire. Not to mention, another mage, by the name of Tyranil helped consolidate his power even more. By forming an allegiance. nobody dared take on these powerful sorcerers and even if they did. how would they kill them?. Accounts tell, Vidron had close connections to deadric beings of Oblivion itself. A mere steel sword would not have killed him. Only a powerful spear could: The spear of bitter mercy. A spear so powerful the one who would wield such a weapon would lose his mind because of its sheer raw power. A companionship found the spear in 218 and slayed Vidron that same year. Whatever happened with the spear or it's wielder is lost to history once more.

 But yes, things looked very bleak for the eastern provinces of the empire, That was until 'the companionship' was formed. An order of adventures and questers that dedicated themselves to destroy Vidron and restore peace to Tamriel once more. Many accounts say that the companionship was not an army or a legion. But rather a band of different personalities and races with one ultimate goal. There are talks of Bretons, Imperials, Elves and even Nords. The names of the companionship have been lost, since most of them were adventurers and not registered in towns. However one of them must have lived in South-eastern town of Skyrim: Riften because he was able to muster an army of Nordic warriors that would attack Vidron's Fortress. These were known as The Rift guard, led by captain Felund of the Rift. The Nord of the companionship had plead the Jarl of the Rift, the late Laila Law-Giver, to send aid for the companionship in their quest to destroy Vidron once and for all. She agreed and so the first major addition to the companionship was added. Later even, on Vvardenfell itself. A group of Argonian rebels joined. looking for revenge on Vidron. When the companionship had finally reached the Red mountain they were greeted by an army of undead and deadric forces. Eye witness accounts of Nord warriors that day say the following:

 "It was as if Oblivion itself had sent its entire army! I was sure I was going to meet my end there"

 A massive battle ensued between the Nords of the Rift and the Argonian Rebels, against the massive forces of Vidron and his powerful ally, Tyranil, on the slopes of Red mountain. However all this was just a distraction so the original companionship could slip into Vidron's very fortress and slay the evil and wicked wizard. After a massive battle of which it's magical impact could be felt all the way up to Anvil, Vidron and Tyranil were defeated. The companionship however did not celebrate, for their loses were most severe, many of them decided to leave and eventually the entire companionship, the forgotten guardians of Tamriel, disbanded and went their own way.

I wrote this, so we would not forget their deeds. For if we did not have these forgotten guardians, Tamriel would've fallen into
