"Ah... Um... Black Claws attacked the Darkmoor. They had fire flasks. Burned most of the wooden houses. The Imperial 'ristocracy that ruled Darkmoor was unimportant to the actual Empire which would explain why Darkmoor was guarded by Lower Imperial Guards. Anyway, the overwhelming number of them Black Claws beat everyone that stood in there way. We came in to loot the place but these big Imperial guys came in and chased us off and fought them Claws. This happened back in 200 when the Claws where just like any gang, hidin' in any old cave or fort. The Claws are pretty powerful, after that Dragonborn disappeared in 201, the Claws took control of Helgen and swopt down on the rest of them bandits like hawks."

The city crier blows his horn for a third time: "Attention citizens and visitors of Markarth City and Reach Hold: a temporary disruption in Imperial government services may occur. Further details will be announced later. Long live the Jarl."

Far from Markarth, in the Imperial City, Councilor Aelius Macer was sitting at his desk in his quarters in the Imperial Palace, thinking and taking notes, '''So Mede lies on his deathbed... the Elder Council is going to have a fun time who decides which of the Emperor's relaives takes the throne. In the mean time, a Potentate would have to be chosen to rule during this slight distruption in the Imperial Government and the only ones worthy to take such a title is I and a certain Amaund Motierre. Victtoria Vici is going to be picked by the Elder Council to rule, she may just be a cousin but it's either her or her mother who is walking corpse or the even more distant cousins who take the Imperial Coins and throw it into prostitutes' underwear. Amaund was going to have Victtoria killed by the Brotherhood, however, Maro was able to beat Amaund to it. Remove Amaund Mottiere and I will serve as Potentate, remove Victtoria Vici and I will serve as Emperor. This will be easy. My first act as Potentate will be to improve the Imperial Currency system, I'm tired of looking at Tiber's face all the time when I look at my drakes, I'm going to add the variety back.'''
