History

First Era

The Sload of Thras have always terrorized the Altmer of the Summerset Isles. One of their larger attacks was known as the Sack of Skywatch where the Sload conjured Sea Serpents to lay siege on the great city of Skywatch. Hightide Keep located underneath Skywatch, was once a defensive fortification from the time of the Aldmer. Because of this, Skywatch managed to defend itself from the Sload. Powerful magic was used to destroy dozen of Sload Warships. The city finally fell when a Sload Warcaster filled his voluminous gullet with volatile alchemical reagents and threw himself at the base of the cliffs. The resulting explosion toppled much of the extended rock face, and plunged the ruins into the sea. This event is considered one of the most terrible events in Tamrielic History..

There has been internal conflict between the cities of Skywatch and Firsthold which resulted in wars.

After breaking the news to Queen Ayrenn, Estre vanished and her conquest over Auridon began with the Siege of Dawnbreak. After defeating Estre at Firsthold, the Vestige ventures to Haven in Grahtwood.
