A Province Divided:

The Interregnum

The year is 2E 472, it has been nearly 500 years since Tamriel has had an Emperor on the throne.
The provinces have broken apart into a complex web of small warlords and kingdoms.
Even the Imperial Province is nigh unrecognizable.

Since the death of the Akaviri Potentate Savririen-Chorak forty years ago, the Empire has had a string of ineffectual leaders, unable to keep the old Counts from revolting. Soon, the Imperial City found itself separated from the rest of the Empire.

Finally, a minor warlord invaded the Imperial City and wiped out almost all of the Empire's remaining Legions.

Now what little remains of the old Reman Empire has retreated south to Leyawiin, and awaits its doom.

In the West, the highly independent lords of the Colovians swiftly united under the banner of the Colovian Empire.

In the north, a tribe of Boethia worshippers have taken over the former county of Bruma, instituting a new religion based on their Daedric Prince.

In the East, Cheydinhal has fallen to minor, bickering warlords fighting for control of small towns and villages.

In the South, Bravil and Skingraad have united as a single nation.

And on the rocky coasts of the Abbecean Sea, a small city state has formed.

This is a time of great hardship in Cyrodiil, a time of warriors and kings, of mages and assassins. Perhaps there is a new Reman amongst these young kingdoms, a leader that the people of Tamriel can unite around.

?All that is sure is that the Interregnum has begun

But there is still hope.

Recently, a council was called to meet in the White Gold Tower to discuss the future of Tamriel. The leaders of many of the kingdoms have sent representatives, and several leaders have also come. These debates may just be the spark to begin a bloody war, or may lead to a great peace that shall stand the test of time.

General Ole, Shardrock, 28th of Midyear.

General Ole's forces had marched up to Shardrock expecting a siege of the town.. Only to be dissapointed. The city was in ruins and there was no one to fight, not even civilians.

"They've burn their own town." Said Ole. Judging by how some of the fire is still burning the town, they must of done it recently. "Falcew, take your one hundred and hunt the religious nuts that did this. judging by the fire, They've done it recently." The captain took hundred men and left the now burned town to hunt down the ones who did it.
"We could still use this town to put the wounded and a last stop for traders sending supplies to our boys at Skingrad." He said. After setting up camp at the Shardrock he gathered his officers on a plan. "you take 300 men and will stay here and guard the city. It may be useless but this could be in some way a trap, the rest of the army will head to Fort Istirus and help with the siege there"

Captain Omar. Fort Istirius. 28th of Midyear.

500 soldiers were seen from the horizon. They marched in formation 40 archers, 150 heavy infantry, and the rest are light infantry. As they approached, the captain of these soldiers walked with 3 others, one with a white flag, the others with spears and a shield. The officer approached a good distance from the front gate but close enough for the enemy forces stationed there to hear. He then shouted...

"May the fort commander come out! I request to speak to him!"
