During the Interregnum in 2E 582, the Bloodthorn Cult of the Reach waged war with the Bretons of Glenumbra to destroy and corrupt the Daggerfall Covenant to their bidding. The war had officially ended when the leader of the Cult, Angof the Gravesinger was killed deep within in the ruins of Cath Bedraud. Amidst the war, the Red Rooks led attacks on several Glenumbran settlements such as a group of estates just south of Aldcroft and the Mines of Khuras nearby. One of these towns was Crosswych which was under the heavy control of the Red Rooks. The townsfolk of Crosswych organized a resistance against the Red Rooks. The ine was used as a prison by the Red Rooks to force the miners into slavery. The leader of the resistance was Tamien Sellan, a Breton from Eagle's Brook. Sellan and a mysterious traveler called the Vestige defeated the leader of the Red Rooks, Sternis Gelves.[2][3][4]
