Reman Cyrodiil

Lore & Background

The Alessian Empire was founded by St. Alessia, a human slave who led an uprising against the Ayleids, an elven faction that held dominion over Tamriel and worshipped Daedra from the realm of Oblivion. Alessia forged a covenant with the Nine Divines to sever the Ayleids' connection to the Daedra. In the centuries following her rule, two different incarnations of the Empire arose, including the Reman Dynasty. This dynasty rose to power in the aftermath of a war between the Empire and a feudal hegemony from the neighboring continent of Akavir.

In Their Own Story

Alessia's rule, the Reman Dynasty rose to power following a conflict with a feudal hegemony from Akavir. This dynasty paved the way for Tiber Septim, a human warrior who later united the other races and provinces of Tamriel under a single banner. The narrative in the source focuses on the broader historical succession: Alessia's covenant, the rise of the Reman Dynasty after the Akaviri war, and the eventual transition to Tiber Septim's rule.
