' The tale dates to the year  855  of the  Second Era, after  General Talos  had taken the name  Tiber Septim  and begun his conquest of Tamriel. One of his commanding officers,  Beatia  of  Ylliolos , had been surprised in an ambush while returning from a meeting with the Emperor. She and her personal guard of five soldiers barely escaped, and were separated from their army.' -Ice and Chitin

' She directed her guard toward a ruined old keep on the frozen isthmus of  Nerone, across the bay from Gorvigh Ridge. Jutting out on a promontory of rock, it was like many other abandoned castles in northern Skyrim, remnants of  Reman Cyrodiil 's protective shield against the continent of Akavir. As they reached their destination and made a fire, they could hear the army of the warchiefs of  Danstrar  behind them, making camp on the land southwest, blocking the only escape but the sea. The soldiers assessed the stock of the keep while Beatia looked out to the fog-veiled water through the casements of the ruin.' -Ice and Chitin

' We won't last long here," Beatia replied. "The Nords know that we'll be vulnerable when night falls, and this old rock won't hold them off. If there's anything in the keep we can use, find it. We have to make it across the ice floe to the Ridge. -Ice and Chitin

Still trying to deny it?
