For the character in Legends, see Lord Naarifin (Legends).

Lord Naarifin was an Altmer general who commanded an Aldmeri army of the Third Aldmeri Dominion during the Great War.[1]

The Great War[]

In 4E 171 Naarifin and his army invaded Cyrodiil from the south, by marching out of their hidden camps near the Elsweyr border, flanking Imperial forces near the border of Valenwood. Shortly after, his army conquered Leyawiin and was already besieging Bravil.[1]

By the end of 4E 172, Lord Naarifin's army had advanced to the walls of the Imperial City, while there were clashes between the Aldmeri Navy and Imperial Navy on Lake Rumare.[1] A year later the Imperial City was surrounded on nearly every side, with only the supply route to Bruma remaining open.[1]

"Well, well. The emperor himself. Come to – what? Duel me? You think you can stop me, is that it? Fool. Look around you! The Culling has begun. I will unleash the fires of Oblivion tonight – after I've added your body to the pyre!"
―Lord Naarifin[src]

In 4E 174 Lord Naarifin's army, now bolstered by Aldmeri reinforcements, took the Imperial City and started looting the city. Shortly after this, Lord Naarifin would begin working on a dread prophecy to bring about a Dominion victory, The Culling.[1][2] The Battle of the Red Ring, however, changed the course of action, Naarifin had almost completed the prophecy, but was defeated just in time by the Forgotten Hero to prevent the Culling from being completed.[1] Following his defeat, Naarifin was kept alive for thirty-three days, hanging from the White-Gold Tower. It is rumored that a flying Daedra took his body away on the thirty-fourth day.[1]
