Histories of Cyrodiil

Cyrodiil was founded by the Heartland High Elves (Eyleids) who started the construction of the Imperial City. They had originaly started by building underground passage ways that can still be entered today although many have been buried with history. These underground passages are usually haunted with spirits or skeletons but rarely zombies. There are sometimes great treasures to be found in them and some of them contain Welkynd Stones.

Cyrodiil became known as Cyrod to the Altmer (High Elves) who had inhabited Cyrodiil.

Shortly before the Imperial City had finished construction, Prince Allessia invaded and claimed the Imperial City for his own and crowned himself emperor. He then formed a group out of his loyal companions known as the Elder Council. Allessia's reign came to an end 14 years after his ruling when he was diagnosed with an illness which had not been contracted again until about 40 years after. Allessia left no known descendants and the Elder Council had to face the problem of who to choose. Before they could elect a new emperor, Tiber Septim had forced his way upon the thrown of Cyrodiil (which name had been changed by Imperial Toungue) and became the first Septim to take over Cyrodiil. Tiber instated a lot of the modern laws of Cyrodiil and build a new Waterfront for the Imperial City. He invested in the Market District and the Imperial Prison. He arranged a more orgonised Imperial guard lead by Leigon officers, each with their own districts, he also appointed a Guard Captain. He shortly after opened the Arcane University as the Mage's Guild requested a headquaters for their learning. Tiber Septim became a threat to the other provinces of Tamriel so he made a secret personal defence group known as The Blades. Once Tiber had died, his soul ascended into the Eight Devines and became the ninth known as Talos.

Many hundred years after his death when Uriel Septim VII was emperor, Tiber's ghost appeared in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind to unite Cyrodiil and Morrowind and the rest of Tamriel under one crown.

His last descendent, Uriel Septim VII, was murdered by the Mythic Dawn who are a Daedric Cult who worship Mehrunes Dagon.
