The War of Bend'r-Mahk

Post » Sat May 28, 2011 12:49 pm

The War of Bend'r-Mahk took place some 40 years before the Oblivion crisis, so an estimated half a century before the next Elder Scrolls game.
I know there are so many rants about the next game taking place in the north (and I'm one of the people hoping it will), but this is a question to ask here.

What do you think has become of the cities Jehanna and Elinhir, as well as the entire border region about 60 years after the war?

While I assume Uriel VII "fixed" most of what happened during the Imperial Simulacrum, I somehow doubt he could erase all traces. Surely the Nords would be reluctant to give back these conquered cities.
I think these two cities and the roads to them are heavily guarded, while practically all other ground they made to Hammerfell and High Rock are back under the factual reign of these two provinces. The road between Elinhir and Dragonstar would be amongst the unsafest of the continent, as both sides claim it.
In diplomacy the Nords would call it a "fair loss" and urge to leave it as it is, while the other two nations try to regain influence one step at a time. ("Please give the native population a special statute. Please let us establish privileged trading" etc)

    "The War of Bend'r-Mahk increased the territory that is considered Skyrim considerably, allowing the Nordic counts to swallow up many miles of eastern High Rock and Hammerfell. Resistance by the Bretons and the Redguards is feeble in the cities of Jehenna and Elinhir, and more active in the border zones of the countryside. The city-state of Dragonstar continues to be divided into western and eastern sections, walled off from one another, each with its own government, and each with an atmosphere of mistrust and fear. There are few days without an act of terror from one resistance group or another, though, so far little territory has changed hands since the days of the Imperial Simulacrum."http://www.imperial-library.info/pge3/skyrim.shtml


That seems to cover most of it... :shrug:

:huh:

Well, it does...
Sorry, I must have read older versions of the Pocket Guide as I could have sworn I never read that.

Thanks

Dragonstar would make an interesting setting for a TES:A game, if they ever make another one of those. One of the cell phone games took place there, didn't it?

I would add it as a special Expansion if they are still doing that next to my idea of adding Orsinium as one. Unless Bethesda doesn't go into the politics, border wars, racism, and all of the interesting things in Skyrim, and just makes it Antarctica with a spruce tree every once in a while... assuming it is in Skyrim.
