![]() ![]() The Bretons of High Rock saw things differently. ![]() When they saw him use the thu'um, Skyrim's army joined with Talos, recognizing him as the son of Skyrim and heir to the Empires of Men. General Talos met the combined army of Skyrim and High Rock, who were hostile to Cuhlecain, on the field of Sancre Tor. Talos became General of the Colovian Estates under King (and later Emperor) Cuhlecain. When he descended from the mountains, he came riding the clouds, striding through the air in great boots he claimed were gifts of the Greybeards for his cunning craft and riddling. Before he left, he learned the secrets of the high peak winds-the roar of the winter blast, and the warm silk of the summer updrafts. The Greybeards told Talos that he would come to rule Tamriel, but that he must go south to do so. As nearby villages were being evacuated, Talos traveled up the mountains the Greybeards called home, where they removed their gags and spoke his name, causing the world to shake. Soon after, growing storms made it known that the Greybeards were about to speak. At the age of 20, he led the invasion of Old Hrol'dan, taking it back from the Witchmen of High Rock, his earliest known military victory. He spent his youth in Skyrim, where he learned the ancient art of the Tongues as well as the strategies of war from the chieftains there. Tiber Septim was born in Atmora under the name Talos, meaning "Stormcrown" in old Ehlnofex. Numerous cults throughout Tamriel have obsessed over the rise of Tiber Septim and have various “founding myths” for the Septim Dynasty. Little is known of the earliest days of his life, and what is known is a matter of great debate. Lorkhan's Cult also predicted the arrival of a mysterious outsider who some speculated Tiber to be based on his deeds. Even The Altmer of Summerset had chilling prophecies of a being known as the Dragonborn who would consume the elves one by one if they refused to unite. These ideals were shared by groups such as the Dragonguard, who spoke of an heir of Akatosh, and the fabled Emperor, the Greybeards who prophesied a warrior youth who would go south and unite Tamriel, and the order of the Battlespire who awaited an individual to restore the Empire to its former glory. Other prophecies concerning Septim were less clear on him specifically, but predicted the return of a fabled Dragonborn to reunite the provinces and end the Interregnum. The Daedric Prince Jyggalag had predicted the rise of Tiber Septim among various other events with a formula of logical deductions, this information was kept in Jyggalag's Great Library. Tutor Riparius, confidant of Demiprince Fa-Nuit-Hen, responded to this vision by saying simply that the Interregnum would not last forever. ![]() Īnother prophetic vision of the coming of Tiber Septim came at the time of the Interregnum when a scholar had a vision of a tall man stabbing down at a serpent. This vision was that of General Talos and his "twin head" Zurin Arctus, who collectively were known as the Enantiomorph, and joined as one to fortify the throne and very land of Tamriel. ![]() Vivec further described him as the red jewel of conquest. While in the Provisional House, both Vivec and Nerevar had the same vision: that of a twin headed ruling king who had no equivalent and contained multitudes. The 36 Lessons of the Dunmer god Vivec, which are chronicled in the early half of the First Era, feature Vivec and Nerevar at separate times stepping into the Provisional House: a realm described as non-spatial space filling to capacity with mortal interaction and information. Stained glass window depicting the figure of many prophecies, Talos In the centuries following his reign, Tiber became revered as a god and saint, and is worshipped as one of the Nine Divines under the name of Talos, meaning "Stormcrown". He gave his name to the lineage of Cyrodilic Emperors known as the Septims. Tiber Septim ruled for 81 years and is considered by many to be the greatest emperor in history. He declared the onset of the Third Era at the end of the same year. In this role, he fought to unify Cyrodiil and finally all of Tamriel, an effort that culminated in 2E 896 with the birth of the Third Empire. Tiber Septim started his career in service under the Cyrodilic king Cuhlecain, where he was known as General Talos. Tiber Septim, (sometimes stylized as Tiber Septim I ) also known as Talos Stormcrown, Hjalti Early-Beard, Tiberius Imperator, and many other titles, was a military leader who became one of the most famous figures in Tamrielic history, reigning as Emperor Tiber Septim from 2E 854 to 3E 38. ![]()
