High King Emeric of Wayrest (also known as Emeric of Cumberland or Emeric Cumberland)[1] was a member of the Cumberland Dynasty in the Second Era, and one of the major faction leaders of the Three Banners War.[2] He was pivotal to the founding of the first Daggerfall Covenant, a defensive pact among all of High Rock's kingdoms against foreign threats, established after Emeric slew Durcorach the "Black Drake" and helped fend off his onslaught of Reachmen raiders circa 2E 541.[3][4][5] As king of Wayrest, Emeric built an alliance through marrying the daughter of King Fahara'jad of Sentinel, Princess Maraya. He gained another ally through a war treaty he made with King Kurog gro-Bagrakh, promising the return of Orsinium to the Orcs.[4] Emeric's conflict with King Ranser of Shornhelm led to the alliances he previously established coming to his aid, and they joined him in the formation of the Greater Daggerfall Covenant after Emeric's victory.[6]

As the architect of the Greater Daggerfall Covenant, Emeric seized supreme leadership as High King of both High Rock and the multinational Greater Daggerfall Covenant circa 2E 567.[7][8] Emeric's brainchild had required months of rigorous negotiation, but ultimately, all the city-states of northwest Tamriel swore loyalty to the Covenant's Royal Council, over which High King Emeric would preside.[7] Despite warfare between kingdoms accounting for much of the provinces' history,[2] the various monarchs of High Rock were bound to him via trade agreements,[1] and they came to see him as a trusted figure.[2] Emeric was a merchant lord who advocated for free trade throughout Tamriel,[3] and he competed against Queen Ayrenn of the Aldmeri Dominion and Jorunn the Skald-King of the Ebonheart Pact for the Ruby Throne so he could restore "the true flame of the Empire of Man".[6][9]

History[edit]

Early Life[edit]

Emeric was the eldest son of House Cumberland of Stormhaven, whose ancestry chart can be traced back to the middle of the First Era.[9][7][10] His father, Earl Pierric, sent Emeric to Castle Ravenwatch when he was a boy to study under the tutorage of the vampiric Count Verandis Ravenwatch, whose support would later be pivotal to Emeric becoming King and convincing the nobility to support the Greater Daggerfall Covenant.[9] Earl Pierric made sure his son was schooled in both economics and military matters, and he would serve as a lieutenant escorting caravans during the summers.[5] As Emeric was coming of age, he visited Cyrodiil with his father who sought to gain the Emperor's favor. While there, he developed a crush on Septima Tharn, who mocked his advances cruelly. Emeric didn't realize it at the time, but his father being a mere merchant lord meant he was not a match for a Tharn.[9] Emeric's mother worked to ensure Emeric remained well-groomed. She had several pairs of nosehair trimmers made for him out of orichalcum.[11]

From Earl, to King, to High King[edit]

"You know, there was a time when I was young when I thought being a king would just be a barrel of laughs. The coin, the power of all its trappings—it looked like such fun. It's not, though."

Emeric's first major victory[3] came when he was twenty, in 2E 541. When Durcorach's Reachmen horde began sacking cities in High Rock, Wayrest was spared thanks to their newly-built walls. Durcorach laid siege for almost two months, but eventually took the bulk of his forces to sack other cities. According to Emeric, King Gardner heeded his advice to transport their troops via ship to attack Durcorach. Emeric led the Heavy Dragoons of Menevia to flank Durcorach just as the latter reached the gates of Daggerfall, and ultimately slew the Black Drake.[5][6] The invasion had been a complete surprise, and took months of fighting by Emeric and King Bergamot of Daggerfall to repulse.[5] In the aftermath, the kings of Daggerfall, Wayrest, Camlorn, Evermore, and Shornhelm signed a treaty of mutual defense to unite against foreign threats.[7] This was called the Daggerfall Covenant, after the city where the treaty was signed.[3]

By 2E 561, Emeric was the Earl of Cumberland. That year, miners near Wayrest made the biggest orichalcum strike in recorded history at Cumberland Mine, within Emeric's domain. Emeric proposed to use the wealth from Cumberland Mine to enhance Wayrest's fleet and improved trade throughout High Rock, and King Gardner approved.[7][6] Such was the prosperity that the king gifted orichalcum pails to the region's prominent farmers.[12] At one point, Emeric obtained the Orichalc Scalpel, a broadsword he described as flashing and humming "like a blade in a sawmill".[13]

Emeric as High King

In 2E 563, the Knahaten Flu swept through High Rock, killing King Gardner, Emeric's father, and the entire royal family of Wayrest. Emeric ascended to the throne, beginning the Cumberland Dynasty. There was reportedly a "Halo of Gold" around the sun on the day of his coronation.[6] One of his Emeric's earliest actions was to make the Breton Lion Guard his own elite knightly order, and he adopted the lion as his personal crest.[14][4]

The captain of the Lion Guard, Lady Arabelle Davaux, attracted the attention of Emeric. She was recruited into Emeric's personal guard, and he became one of Arabelle's many lovers for a time. When Arabelle was asked if she really did play "sheathe the dagger" with him, she stated that "Emeric's dagger would more accurately be described as a sword".[15] Emeric created the Ring of Daggers to serve as the secret intelligence network of the Daggerfall Covenant, and Arabelle became one of its first members. The Ring of Daggers were thought to have enforced economic and political issues on the behalf of Emeric.[15][16] In truth, they pledged allegiance to no one, but instead worked on behalf of the Daggerfall Covenant on a contractual basis, often for Emeric himself. They were utilized in a variety of roles such as guards, soldiers, scouts, and couriers for small scale operations.[17] Emeric's intelligence network served him well, such as when Kurog gro-Bagrakh visited Wayrest. Though only a mercenary at a time, Kurog had caught the attention of Zephrine Frey, one of Emeric's spies, who knew he intended to go to Wrothgar and vie to lead his old clan. She arranged for him to meet Emeric, and the two reportedly got on quite well. Before departing, Kurog assured Emeric he would focus on Falkreath before turning to High Rock, and agreed take Zephrine with him, knowing full well she was Emeric's spy.[18]

Emeric's wife, Queen Maraya, the "Jewel of Satakalaam"

Emeric was expected to wed the daughter of King Ranser of Shornhelm, but suddenly took a liking for Princess Maraya, the Redguard daughter of King Fahara'jad. They married in the spring of 2E 566, strengthening diplomatic and trade relations between High Rock and Hammerfell. But for more than a year, the seething King Ranser gathered a host of mercenaries, and in Last Seed, he launched what would come to be called Ranser's War with a high-speed surprise assault on Wayrest. Emeric and his guards managed to save the city from an early cavalry blitz assault, but it was clear that Wayrest could not trust in the strength of its walls this time, as the main body of Ranser's troops brought siege engines in tow.[13] It would be a difficult winter for the Lion Guard, but in the spring, Emeric's diplomacy paid off. The other kingdoms of High Rock honored their Covenant and came to his defense, and King Fahara'jad sent his elite troops across the Iliac Bay to assist. These combined forces were enough to rout Ranser's army, who retreated back to their homeland only to find that in their absence, Shornhelm had been sacked by the Orcs under King Kurog. Emeric had sent an emissary requesting their aid in exchange for a guarantee that Orsinium would be re-established as a sovereign territory.[4] Ranser was utterly crushed, and this new group of allies formed the Greater Daggerfall Covenant.[6] The lion, Emeric's crest, became the martial symbol of the Daggerfall Covenant.[14]

With his elevation to High King of both High Rock and the Greater Daggerfall Covenant circa 2E 567, Emeric punished those that opposed him in Ranser's War. He targeted House Mornard, stripping Duke Avrippe of his titles and exiling him to Cyrodiil. The duchy was granted to House Dufort, while Avrippe's son Leonard was reduced to count and left with only a few of a his family's holdings.[19][20][21] One such holding was Amenos, a prison island, where Emeric would later send many political prisoners, prisoners of war, and rival nobles, as the Empire once did.[22] Emeric also stripped the noble family known as the Marcotts of their power.[23] Those who had ties with the Marcotts severed them, wishing to no longer be associated with them or their political beliefs,[24] and the family was reduced to pursuing criminal activities to stay afloat.[25] Similarly, Emeric stripped House Hallix of their land and titles after his trusted advisor, Lord Martel Hallix, plotted to murder him and take his throne.[26][nb 1] He left Shornhelm under the control of a triumvirate of the region's noble houses.[27]

Race relations between the Bretons and Orcs improved under the Covenant,[28] despite the persistence of anti-Orc sentiment.[29] The Direnni elves would also become accepted within the Covenant's borders.[30] Negative sentiments against daedra worship led King Kurog to defend his people's religious worship among their Daggerfall Covenant allies by claiming that Mauloch wasn't a Daedric Prince like Malacath.[14] Emeric and his counselors tolerated the Spirit Wardens of Azura due to their charitable contributions, their ability to be inconspicuous, and their ability to produce potions capable of combating the nightmares inflicted by the Vaermina cult known as the Supernal Dreamers.[31]

Three Banners War[edit]

"It is fortunate for our peoples — indeed, for all the peoples of Tamriel — that the true flame of the Empire of Man still burns in the Daggerfall Covenant. These are terrible times, but our destiny lies before us as straight and true as the Reman roads: we must march on Cyrodiil, overthrow the false empress and all her brood, and restore the Empire of Tamriel. Then once more peace and justice will rule the provinces, rather than blood and fire."
Emeric rallying the Daggerfall Covenant

The competing ideologies of the Daggerfall Covenant, the Aldmeri Dominion, and the Ebonheart Pact set them all on a course for war. Emeric and the other kings of the Daggerfall Covenant looked to Reman as a model Emperor, and saw themselves as the spiritual heirs to the Second Empire.[7] Focused on "restoring the glory of Reman's legacy", the Covenant cited its focus on freedom, worship of the Divines, and primacy of trade as reasons it was meant to be the center of Cyrodiil's power.[32]

This Three Banners War began in earnest sometime in 2E 580. Tensions between the alliances were further exacerbated by the Soulburst and subsequent military aggression of the Empire of Cyrodiil under Empress Regent Clivia Tharn.[33] Each alliance saw the opportunity to overthrow the corrupt Imperial regime by capturing the Imperial City and installing their own emperor on the Ruby Throne, but also had to deal with the other two alliances.[34][35] To Emeric, the other two factions represented an echo of the time Elvenkind held tyrannical rule over Tamriel, and he would allow neither Alinor nor Mournhold to repeat it.[36]

An audience with High King Emeric

Emeric had created a peace treaty with Clivia's predecessor, Varen Aquilarios, but refused to extend the same offer to the Empress Regent, alleging that Cyrodiil fell to a Daedric cabal following Varen's death.[6][37] Indeed, the necromancer Mannimarco became the true power behind the Ruby Throne, converting Clivia to worshipping Molag Bal and manipulating her into expelling the Mages Guild from the Imperial City so that his Worm Cult could operate freely.[38][39][40] Emeric also derided Clivia as a descendant of a Reachman,[6] though the veracity of this claim is dubious.[41] However, Emeric granted an audience to a representative of Clivia's father, Abnur Tharn, who he acknowledged was at the time a "powerful force for Cyrodiil".[1] When asked if Emeric could possibly be accepted by the Elder Council should he take the Ruby Throne, Abnur Tharn stated it would be easier if he were to integrate himself into Cyrodiilic customs and adopt a new name like "Emeritus" or "Emicio".[42]

Conflict within Covenant Borders[edit]

Emeric's brother, Duke Nathaniel

At some point, Emeric helped arrange the marriage of his brother, Duke Nathaniel, to his wife's sister, Lakana. Although arranged for political purposes, Nathaniel and Lakana were happy and thankful to Emeric.[43] In 2E 582, following the Soulburst and the theft of the Dream Shard,[31] the Supernal Dreamers were free to spread Vaermina's influence in northwest Tamriel. With the cult's assistance, Vaermina's Omens invaded the dreams and minds of some of the Covenant's influential figures.[44] One of their victims, driven insane in their paranoia, assassinated Lakana in Alcaire.[45][46] This conspiracy culminated with Vaermina's consort Galthis,[47] the first Nightcaller,[47] taking over the mind and body of the High King in Wayrest. Luckily, the Daedric Prince Azura and her Spirit Wardens intervened, and the plot was ultimately foiled when the Vestige entered Emeric's dream and defeated Galthis, ending Vaermina's control of the Covenant.[48]

During the war, the triumvirate which Emeric left to rule Rivenspire broke down when Baron Wylon Montclair rebelled and attempted to seize the land for himself. The two other members of the council, Eselde Tamrith and Baron Alard Dorell were barely on speaking terms either, despite the best efforts of Count Verandis Ravenwatch to keep the peace.[49] Verandis learned that Montclair's objective was more than simple treason: like himself, Montclair was a vampire, but one who sought to turn all of Rivenspire to a land of undeath.[50] Montclair was stopped, but not without cost: Tamrith's sister herself became a vampire, Baron Dorell was forced to exile his own son for being a collaborator,[51] and Verandis Ravenwatch himself gave his own life (or rather, unlife).[52] Emeric personally did little in the conflict. In the aftermath, he was left to determine whether House Dorell or House Tamrith should become the new ruling dynasty in Shornhelm, a decision which he delegated. However, his influence was crucial to ensure the choice was accepted, and he worked with them to restore Rivenspire.[53]

Emeric and Queen Arzhela defending Bangkorai Garrison

Later that year, King Emeric appeared in Bangkorai in response to a call for help from his cousin, Queen Arzhela, who had lost her husband, son, and daughter to the Reachmen and Imperial enemies of Bangkorai. He arrived too late to forestall the Imperial plot to usurp power through Arzhela's brother-in-law, Duke Renchant, but the duke's treason was exposed and he paid the ultimate price.[54] Likewise, the Reachmen threat was dispersed without his intervention.[55] But when Emeric did arrive, his troops stormed the Bangkorai Garrison and reclaimed Hallin's Stand from Imperial conquerors, aided by a timely uprising by the town's inhabitants. Emeric was subsequently abducted by Magus-General Septima Tharn of the Imperial Legion, whom he once fancied.[9] She took him to a famed Redguard crypt, the Hall of Heroes, which her scouts had rediscovered in the Fallen Wastes of Bangkorai. There, she slew King Emeric and physically followed his soul to the Far Shores. A soldier of the Covenant was able to follow and slay Tharn in turn. As a reward for this heroic deed, Tu'whacca allowed the soldier and King Emeric to return to life in the Mundus.[56]

Emeric with Queen Ayrenn and Jorunn the Skald-King during the summit on Stirk to negotiate a joint invasion Coldharbour

Emeric had established a long friendship at one point with the founder of the Mages Guild, Vanus Galerion. While publicly neutral about it, Emeric was secretly supportive of the Mages Guild's newfound foothold on Arteaum, and had come to owe Vanus a few favors.[9][57] As the Three Banners War dragged on, Molag Bal's power over Tamriel continued to grow. Together with the Fighters Guild, the Mages Guild under Vanus Galerion finally arranged for a meeting of the three alliance leaders on the island of Stirk to discuss a potential counter-invasion of Coldharbour. Molag Bal sent daedra to the island to kill the alliance leaders. Although the attackers were repelled, seeing Bal's influence firsthand convinced the leaders to quickly consent to a guild-led invasion.[58]

King Kurog

After the assassination of Lakana at Alcaire,[45] the nobility and commonfolk looked to put this tragic event behind them. Lakana's father, King Fahara'jad, decided to partially fund the New Life festivities that were to take place there. King Emeric urged all visiting participants to come celebrate without anxiety or economic worries. The goal was to host a New Life Festival at Alcaire that would be remembered for a generation.[59] Emeric would also later mourn the loss of his friend King Kurog, who was slain after his underhanded political machinations in Orsinium were revealed. His main rival, Bazrag gro-Fharun, was crowned the next King of the Orcs.[60] As Emeric's agreement was directly with Kurog and not the clan chiefs, Orsinium's continued membership of the Daggerfall Covenant became a matter of debate for Bazrag.[61] Nonetheless, Emeric held meetings with Bazrag, who sometimes brought Kurog's favorite ale so the two leaders might toast to the memory of the fallen.[9]

A reliquary belonging to Emeric said to have some type of resurrection capability was sought after by the Soldiers of the Void. Working under the Bosmer mage Deslandra, these cultists wanted to utilize the reliquary in the Glenumbra Moors, the site of the great battle where one is "just as likely to stumble upon a corpse as a shrub". In order to win an invitation into Wayrest Castle to steal it, they attempted to win a fighting tournament hosted by the Circle of Champions.[62]:48,50 The massive undead army could protect Deslandra while she completed the Great Nullification,[63]:44 which would forever sever the flow of magicka from Aetherius into the Mundus, meaning magic would no longer exist.[63]:52[62]:50 However, Eveli Sharp-Arrow's team won the tournament, and she used the opportunity to warn Emeric's retainers of Deslandra's plotting.[62]:44

High King Emeric dispatched Lady Nilene Devierin, the Royal Envoy to the Reach, to address the violations of Breton borders by the Bloodthorn Cult and Dark Witnesses, two of many Reachfolk clans. Seeking a peace agreement, she met with Lady Belain, advisor to the Ard Caddach, and implored her to persuade the Ard to control the unruly raiding groups. However, Caddach was in no position to rein in the factions, as he could neither project weakness to Emeric nor control the Wilders, who pledged no fealty to the Despot of Markarth. Upon meeting with Caddach, Lady Nilene's concerns were dismissed, and she returned to High King Emeric without a satisfactory response.[64][65]

A Chance for Peace[edit]

"The Covenant remains strong. Or so I tell myself from atop the lumpy pillow on my unbearably uncomfortable throne.
Look, we've accomplished quite a bit in these past few years. I mean, you tell me. Is it madness to hope for peace in our time?"

Emeric, Ayrenn, and Jorunn were subsequently targeted by the Ascendant Order, a pan-Tamrielic terrorist organization. The leaders of this Order were secretly nobles utilizing disgruntled commoners to fulfill their goals. The Ascendant Magus was Count Damard of House Dufort, while the Ascendant Lord was Lord Bacaro of House Volorus from Cyrodiil. Bacaro created the Society of the Steadfast to serve as a humanitarian organization and build goodwill.[66] He then leveraged his reputation to lure the major players in the Three Banners War to peace talks on High Isle, where he plotted to murder them.[67][68]

The Ascendant Lord watches as Three Banners Alliance ships sink

The Ascendant Order had made an attempt on Emeric's life at his holiday retreat palace on Sword's Rest Isle, but he was rescued by Lady Arabelle Davaux, Jakarn, and the Vestige.[69] When the leaders set sail to High Isle for the peace summit on High Isle, but as they approached the region from the north, their ships were caught in a brutal, albeit uncontrollable storm conjured by the Ascendant Magus. The ships were wrecked, but the alliance leaders managed to reach Amenos' north coast.[70] With their combined efforts, Emeric and the others eventually managed to evade the gangs of prisoners and escape the island.[71]

The Peace Talks

During the Ascendant Order's assassination attempt at All Flags Islet, the Ascendant Magus was unmasked and killed.[72] Bacaro's death soon followed, his plans ruined.[73][74][75] Although the peace talks were initially a trap set by Lord Bacaro, the Steadfast Society were kept in the dark about his plans and had no involvement with the Ascendant Order. Even with Lord Bacaro gone, they continued his original vision of helping those suffering from war and disaster. As Lord Bacaro had set up a trust many years ago, the society was self-sufficient, and they continued to sponsor the peace talks and took care of all the expenses.[76] The Three Banners faction leaders named the Vestige the "Champion of the Alliances".[77]

Tamriel Covenant[edit]

Although their plan was never realized, the leaders of the Covenant intended to crown High King Emeric as Emperor of a third Empire after conquering the Heartlands of Cyrodiil and taking the Ruby Throne. With this achieved, the Covenant would have been in an ideal position to invade and conquer the other two alliances and proclaim the Tamriel Covenant. Under this new empire, the Royal Council would have been replaced by a Grand Council, with a seat for every kingdom in Tamriel.[32] This scenario was not to be, as the Daggerfall Covenant ultimately crumbled; the true Third Empire was proclaimed by Tiber Septim in 3E 0, ending the Interregnum period.[78]

By tradition, Wayrest was a kingdom under the command of one family. Emeric's Cumberland Dynasty was replaced by the Horley Dynasty, and the Horleys were replaced by the Septim Dynasty founded by Tiber Septim.[79][80] Though Emeric's fate is unknown, the Third Era edition of Wayrest, Jewel of the Bay claimed that no ruler of Wayrest was ever deposed by revolution or assassination.

Notes[edit]

  • ^ Bastion Hallix was two years old when he last saw his sister, who he reunited with twenty five years later.[26] However, the developer's official stance is that The Elder Scrolls Online is assumed to take place circa 2E 582,[UOL 1] which puts 2E 557 as the year Bastion's father plotted to take Emeric's throne,[26] six years before Emeric was actually a king.[5]
  • High King Emeric's voice actor, Bill Nighy, described him as being intelligent, famously charismatic, and a stranger to self-doubt. Emeric's motivation was world domination, but his characteristics made him well equipped to perhaps fulfill his role to bring peace and unity.[UOL 2]
