Great*

There is actually a lot of information tied with the history of Tamriel.

The Akaviri people have invaded Tamriel multiple times. The first time was around the First Era when raiders from the continent attacked Daggerfall when it was still young. Later, the Tsaesci formed the Dragonguard and invaded Skyrim in hopes of finding the Dragonborn. The Dragonguard pushed through all of Skyrim's forces and met the armies of Reman Cyrodiil (Reman Cyrodiil actually united the bickering Colovian Estates and Nibenese kingdoms to fight the Akaviri Trouble) at Pale Pass.

At Pale Pass, the Cyrodiilic armies defeated the Akaviri invaders, Reman Cyrodiil revealed that he was Dragonborn and the Dragonguard swore alliegance to the Dragonborn. With the support of the Dragonguard, Reman Cyrodiil's heirs and their Imperial Legions conquered all of Tamriel except Morrowind. Reman Cyrodiil I was worshipped as the Worldy God (I dare say that he was worshipped as the Ninth Divine until Talos took his place). Morrowind was defeated by Prince Juliek Cyrodiil and the Tribunal had to submit to the Empire and make a peace treaty. The Tsaesci leader was the Reman Dynasty's chief councilor, the Potentate.

After the mysterious deaths of Emperor Reman Cyrodiil III and his son, Prince Juliek, the Potentate and his son ruled the Cyrodiilic Empire until they were assassinated by the Morag Tong. Their deaths led to the Interregnum and eventually the coming of a new Dragonborn, Tiber Septim. During this Interregnum, the vicious Ice Demons of Akavir, the Kamal, (think of the White Walkers from Game of Thrones but more bulky like Orcs) invaded Skyrm and sacked Windhelm. Vivec was forced to teach the Dunmer how to breath under water, he then flooded Morrowind. With the help of his fellow gods and a certain undead Atmoran Dragonborn king named Wulfarth, Vivec defeated the Kamal on Red Mountain.

Uriel Septim V, a descendant of Emperor Tiber Septim, established a large naval force to conquer Akavir. The naval force conquered about four island-kingdoms, established the Imperial Province of Akavir and built two cities known as Septimia and Ionith within the Kingdom of the Tsaesci. The Tsaesci, however, retaliated and destroyed the naval force and killed Uriel Septim.
