Black Year

Black Year was a year named due to the bloody conflict that took place in Valenwood. It took place during the 3E 396.

Description
In 3E 396 one of the Bosmer tribes known as Parikh Tribe allied themselves with Altmer of the nearby Summerset Isles and began a rampage from the southeastern Valenwood.

The conflict is known to have continued at least two more years when Parikh drove out other tribes out of the Wood Elf homeland, Valenwood. There was nothing to be done about it and soon other tribes perished as there was no more lands for them to hunt and settle on. Although, exact number of victims is unknown, but it's been recorded that at least one tribe was driven out North, to Hammerfell.

Lady Allena Benoch had taken role in this conflict in her early life. She was only 14 years old, when the conflict began. Two years into the conflict she had her first close encounter with the enemy, this inspired her to learn the swordmanship. Driven out of the Valenwood, she began studying at the Redguards and became the master of the blade she is known to be.
