Past Emperors?

Post » Fri May 27, 2011 2:27 am

Hi, I'm planning to make an Oblivion mod that would add a crypt for the past Emperors of Cyrodiil, with a statue of each and a plaque describing them. However, I'd like to know about the Emperors we know about.

I know Alessia, Tiber, Pelagius I - IV, and Uriel I - VII. Is that all, or did I miss any? Also, is there any information on Pelagius I - III, and Uriel I - VI? I only know Pelagius IV and Uriel VII.

Did Morihaus serve as Emperor? I know that he was Alessia's husband, but did he ever do any ruling of his own?


Thanks,
Durza

You do know Morihaus is a guy, right? Would that make him Alessia's wife?

Morihaus was a demigod, the son of Kynareth, and was not a "man" at all. He appeared as a bull, in fact.

However, it's not all that clear to me what you're trying to do... all the Emperors of Tamriel? The First, Second and Third Empires?

For a list of all the Emperors of the Third Era, see http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/brief_history_of_empire.shtml.

He supposedly had a man-form, or at least the statue at the Arena depicted him as such.

But, his man-form wasn't cool because his bull-form had wings. Plus, you can wear his hide.

Oh, some Emperors of the First Era:

Empress Alessia
Emperor Belharza, the Man-Bull
Emperor Goreius
Emperor Shor-El
Empress Hestra

Not in chronological order.

Although its probably unimportant, Pelagius the Mad's pelvis is in the Shivering Isles, so if the coffins can be opened, don't put a pelvis bone in it.

I'm not planning to make the coffins openable. They'd just be for decoration, the statues and plaques will be the real meat and potatoes. If I do make them openable, though, I will take that in mind.

Throw a small figurine of Sanguine and a bottle of Cyrodiilic Brandy in the corner to represent his brief stay on the Imperial Throne.

It would be nice if you had an area in the tomb with open coffins for Uriel, and his Three assasinated sons (decorated with Imperial Lilys, presents, jewels, etc), so that the people of the Imperial City could pay their respects.

He was a guest in the Imperial Palace, bound to the confines of the White Gold Tower, during the reign of a Reman, he wasn't in power, and attaining power isn't part of his sphere. His debauchery was enough to set the Imperial City ablaze with partys beyond compare, but his lust was not for the throne, and nor did he attain it.

Or like the coffins in the Vitharn Crypt, where you can see the bodies through the glass.

I think it'd be neat for maybe two or three of the most Nordic rulers to be preserved in Stalhrim. Like, maybe Tiber Septim's corpse? And Belharza too?

:) I dunno, but y'know.

I don't think Stalhrim is commonly used in burial rites. It was only done on Solstheim because they did not have time to do proper burials for the fallen warriors. Though of course, it might have been used in other situations like that, but it seems unlikely.

I dont think it's used commonly either but I'm inlove with the idea that it is probably used in burial sites of greater warriors and high lords and such.

Still, it would be even less likely that any of the Imperial Line would of been buried in Stalhrim, even if Talos was infact a nord, he incorperated himself in Cyrodiilic Culture, even taking Tiber Septim as a name; it would be out of character of him to of renounced the years of attuning himself to the Cyrodiilic people by asking in his will to have a Skyrim Burial, let alone being incased in Stalhrim. Plus, already mentioned Stalhrim was pretty much restricted to Solstheim, protecting their dead from the posible threat of graverobbing if the Dunmer were to take Solstheim, because they couldn't take them back to Skyrim for proper burials. The Skaal however kept up the traditions of buring their dead this way.
