Umaril

Umaril the Unfeathered is one of the last Ayleid kings to have survived the war with St. Alessia. He was a very powerful sorceror with powers that most mortal men or mer could only dream of. Umaril is most famous for his defeat at the hands of Pelinal Whitestrake, one of St. Alessia's strongest and closest ally. The two fought on top of what is now called White Gold Tower, the center of the Imperial City and the seat of the Elder Council. After fighting through a wave of Aurorans, daedra supplied by the Daedra Lord Meridia, Pelinal confronted Umaril himself. The two battled, and Pelinal proved the victor. However, Umaril had a trick up his sleave. He had made a pact with his mistriss, Merdia, that if he died, his spirit would return to her realm and would eventually be reborn in the waters of Oblivion. When Pelinal realized this it was to late, and the noble warrior, being tired from his battle with Umaril, was killed and torn into eight pieces by Aurorans. While Umaril was being remade in the waters of Oblivion, his battle with Pelinal eventually faded into legend, and only those most familiar with the Nine Divines and the Kinghts of the Nine remeber what happened to him. Centuries passed, until one day, at the Chapel of Dibella in Anvil, all the priests and priestesses were murdered. This is where the Prophet read the message declaring Umaril's return to seek his revenge. The Prophet began preaching, hopping to gain attention from someone who might help destroy Umaril. This "someone" turned out to be none other then the Champion of Cyrodiil. The Champion, under the guide of the Prophet, found the Eight Relics of the Crusader, and finally destroyed Umaril the Unfeathered.

Backround

Umaril was an Ayleid. Umaril, like most if not all Ayleids, hated the Eight (Nine) Divines, but worshipped the Daedra Lords. This is where he got his army of Aurorans. He also recieved the power to be remade in the waters of Oblivion. In fact, through his pact with Merdia, Umaril basically became a daedroth himself. This is how, even though he was soundly defeated by Pelinal, he was able to return. However, the downside to this "immortality" was that it would take centuries for him to return. Now that he's back, Umaril is all to eager to take his revenge. His first move was to send a message. He sent his Aurorans to the Chapel of Dibella in Anvil, where they slaughtered the priests. This gained the attention of the Prophet, who eventually got the the attnetion of the Champion of Cyrodiil to collect the Relics of the Crusader.
