Empires

Throughout Tamriel's history, there have been several major empires.

First Nordic Empire
The first empire of the Nords can be traced back to Ysgramor in the Merethic Era. It was responsible for the Skyrim Conquests and ended with the death of High King Borgas of Winterhold.


 * Ysgramor - late Merethic Era.
 * Harald (1E 143 - 1E 221)
 * Vrage - (1E 221 - 1E 2?)
 * Gellir - (1E 2? - 1E ?)
 * Borgas - (1E ? - 1E 369)

First Cyrodilic Empire
The Alessian Empire, often called the "First Empire", was founded by the slave queen Alessia after she led a slave rebellion against the Ayleid in heartland Cyrodiil.

Second Empire
The Second Empire was a combination of two distinct dynasties spanning almost 600 years: The Reman Dynasty and the Akaviri Potentate.
 * Reman Cyrodiil
 * Reman Cyrodiil II
 * Reman Cyrodiil III
 * Versidue Shaie
 * Savirien-Chorak

Third Empire
The Septim Empire was founded by Tiber Septim in the Second Era, with it's end marking the beginning of the Fourth Era. At it's height, the Empire spanned across the entire continent of Tamriel, and administered feudal control through the nine provinces, with an Emperor or Empress acting as supreme ruler.

 * Pelagius Septim
 * Kintyra Septim I
 * Uriel Septim I
 * Uriel Septim II
 * Pelagius Septim II
 * Antiochus Septim

 * Uriel Septim III
 * Cephorus Septim
 * Magnus Septim
 * Pelagius Septim III

 * Uriel Septim IV
 * Cephorus II
 * Uriel Septim V
 * Uriel Septim VI
 * Morihatha Septim
 * Pelagius Septim IV
 * Uriel Septim VII
 * Martin Septim

Mede Dynasty
After Martin Septim's death, the Elder Council struggled to maintain the Empire. The Empire was eventually taken over by a Colovian Warlord named Titus Mede I, after he seized the crown and conquered the Imperial City during the Stormcrown Interregnum.

With the destruction of the Amulet of Kings during the Oblivion Crisis, the Mede Dynasty cannot be considered a true fourth empire.
 * Titus Mede I
 * Attrebus Mede
 * Titus Mede II
