Faolchu (?b - 2E 582)[edit]
Faolchu the Changeling was a general of the Alessian Order who was cursed with lycanthropy. Faolchu had a reputation for being nigh invulnerable in battle, earning him the nickname the Invincible General and the Invincible One. Soldiers could bash him with a shield, stick him full of arrows or cut deep into his flesh, and Faolchu would not falter in his assault. Not even a sword to the heart could kill him. However, Faolchu had a crippling fear of fire. Fire was the only thing that could stop Faolchu in his tracks. He was killed at the Battle of Glenumbra Moors while a fire was raging around him.
Faolchu was resurrected in 2E 582 by Angof the Gravesinger, with the intention of having him serve Molag Bal, taking the title Faolchu the Reborn. Faolchu wreaked havoc upon Glenumbra at Angof's behest, and took Camlorn for his own. In an effort to discover the means to defeat the ancient general, the Mages Guild had the Vestige travel back in time where Faolchu met his demise. After experiencing the battle first-hand through the eyes of a Breton soldier, the Vestige discovered Faolchu's weakness, giving the Lion Guard and its allies the information they needed to defeat him once more. By this time, Faolchu had holed himself up in Camlorn Keep, and was defeated by the Vestige after Lion Guard archers set fire to the building.
Upon his second death, Faolchu's soul was sent to Coldharbour, where Molag Bal had him tormented within Heart's Grief for his failure by burning to death everyday.

These rooms were located in cities such as Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall, Ebonheart, Vivec, Alinor, Rimmen, Solitude, Leyawiin, Gonfalon Bay, Necrom and Skingrad. She also wrote guides to educate new homeowners on the various locations and ways of obtaining furniture to decorate their home with.

Felldir the Old (fl. late Merethic Era)[edit]
Felldir the Old was an Atmoran hero and Tongue in the Merethic Era. Felldir, Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, and Hakon One-Eye were the leaders of the rebellion against Alduin, and the first mortals to learn how to wield the Thu'um besides the Dragon Priests. They were taught by Paarthurnax. During the Dragon War, Hakon and the others sought the help of Miraak, the First Dragonborn, in defeating Alduin, but Miraak refused to help. Undeterred, together, they fought against Alduin atop the Throat of the World at the end of the Dragon War. Finding that they had no means to achieve a final victory, the companions successfully used Felldir's stratagem to send the wyrm forward through time using an Elder Scroll, creating a Time Wound in the process. Thousands of years later, the spirits of Felldir and his compatriots assisted the Last Dragonborn in the final battle against their nemesis in the realm of Sovngarde. He also aided the Last Dragonborn in their other battles, when called to their aid with the Call of Valor.
Saint Felms the Bold (fl. before 2E 582)[edit]
Dunmeri patron saint of butchers and fishmongers. A fierce warrior, he slew many Nord invaders and drove them from Morrowind. He could neither read nor write, instead being blessed by receiving inspiration directly from the lips of Almsivi.[3] The Cleaver of St. Felms is a holy relic greatly prized by the Tribunal Temple.[4] When close to death, Sotha Sil placed Felms's soul into a modified black soul gem which was then brought to the Asylum Sanctorium and installed in a giant factotum body to make him immortal.[5] Unfortunately, the process eventually drove him to madness, which manifested as agitation, a single-minded focus on fighting and conquests, and mood swings including outbursts of disdain, frustration, and anger.[6]
Fervidius Tharn (fl. 1E 1188)[edit]
Fervidius Tharn of House Tharn ruled as Arch-Prelate of the Alessian Order during the First Era. Said to have been often mischaracterized and misunderstood, his allegiances and motives are unclear, conflicting and sometimes disputed. Fervidius began life in the Alessian Order as a humble oblate, but his accomplishments eventually led to him becoming Arch-Prelate of the entire order. During this time, it was said he wielded power almost as great as that of the emperor.
His relationship with the Marukhati Selective, a fanatical sect of the Alessian Order, and its goals is often contested by scholars. The ultimate goal of the Selective was to re-engineer the Aurbis in order to expunge the Aldmeri aspects from Akatosh. To achieve this, they required eight pieces of an artifact called the Staff of Towers. These segments had been deliberately separated and hidden in the early First Era due to the threat posed by the complete staff.
Abnur Tharn claims that Fervidius was an enemy of the Marukhati Selective, and that when he learned of their plot to reassemble the staff he sent his agents to find and sequester the segments. Ultimately, he was apparently betrayed by his closest allies and killed. Conversely, other evidence suggests that Fervidius actually supported, or was possibly even the leader of the Selectives. These include ancient edicts that support his belief in The Exclusionary Mandates, and orders to assemble the Staff of Towers for the ritual dance, which eventually led to the "Middle Dawn" Dragon Break.
Despite Fervidius' prominent role in the Alessian Order and the Middle Dawn, he is perhaps best remembered as the author of the Sermons Denouncing the Seventeen Leniencies.
Chieftain Fiasof (?b - ?d)[edit]
Chieftain Fiasof was a legendary figure from the oral tradition of the Reachfolk. He was a prominent character in a tragedy told by Reachfolk Vateshrans throughout generations and was mentioned alongside other important Reachmen such as King Faolan and Emperor Leovic. His story teaches Reachfolk to challenge themselves, and touts humility as an essential trait. It is unknown when he lived, or if he ever existed, but as of 2E 582 stories of him were already widespread in the Reach. A Tale of Gods and Sorrow by Vateshran Calbokh is one of the stories devoted to Fiasof.
The legend of Chieftain Fiasof tells of a hunter of great skill. Fiasof's mastery meant that he never struggled in his hunts. His dedication and abilities initially brought Hircine joy. However, eventually, the chieftain became prideful, and grew content with these trivial hunts. This angered Hircine, who proposed a new game to punish the chief for his complacency.
The Daedric Prince cursed the chieftain's entire tribe, turning them into white deer, and instructed the chieftain to hunt them without informing the man of the curse. Fiasof complied and rained a hail of arrows upon them, easily turning their white hides to red and slaying his own people. It was when Fiasof went to dress the game that he realized what he had done. He broke his bow over his knee and asked for forgiveness, which the prince then provided.

Finoriell was a Bosmer woman who served as the Green Lady in the mid-Second Era.
She was born in Deepwoods, a small village in the Malabal Tor region of Valenwood. Unlike previous Green Ladies, Finoriell was granted the position quite late in life, while she was living in Velyn Harbor. As the Green Lady, she became the embodiment of the physical side of the Bosmer, granting her supernatural fighting prowess and the "swiftness of the Green", the ability to cover vast distances in very little time. As is customary, she was married to the Silvenar, Edhelorn, at a handfasting ceremony in the city of Silvenar. Finoriell was known to love Edhelorn dearly.
In 2E 582, the Bosmer entered into an alliance with the Khajiit and Altmer under Queen Ayrenn, forming the first Aldmeri Dominion. As representatives of the Bosmer people, the Silvenar and the Green Lady served as ambassadors. During a diplomatic visit to the small island of Khenarthi's Roost, the Maormer inhabitants attempted to prevent the island's Khajiit from joining the Dominion by assassinating Edhelorn with Daedric poison. With the death of her Silvenar, Finoriell was doomed to follow suit. She flew into a rage, tracking down Edhelorn's assassin and revealing the Maormer plot, which saved the city of Mistral from destruction and convinced the Khajiit of Khenarthi's Roost to join the Dominion.
Unwilling to die without extracting vengeance upon her husband's killers, Finoriell swam the whole way to the southern island of Pyandonea. She visited her wrath upon the Maormer, killing indiscriminately until she was spent. As she lay dying atop the highest sea-tower, the Sea Elves' greatest warrior came to claim her head as a trophy. Instead, she grabbed him and threw herself to the waves far below. Her niece Gwaering replaced her as the next Green Lady.
In death, her soul journeyed back to Malabal Tor, to the sacred grove of Treehenge so that her soul could be "rooted". All incarnations of the Green Lady, known as "matrons" in death, root themselves at Treehenge to ensure the Green Lady's past memories are preserved. However, Finoriell's soul was unable to find its way to the grove due to the Worm Cult, who had invaded Treehenge to steal the rooted souls of past Green Ladies. Despite the help of the matrons and the guardian spriggans, Finoriell's soul was trapped and weakened by the Worm Cult, who attempted to corrupt her so that she would kill the Treehenge when rooted. Before she faded completely, Finoriell was rescued by the Vestige and was able to root herself using the lifeforce of Hengekeeper Lara. She grew to become a sprout, and helped the other matrons drive out the Worm Cult before going to sleep.

Additionally, some would criticize the technical skill of his writing.
Despite this, the work gained him considerable fame, and became a sensation around Tamriel with first edition copies being thought rare and valuable. For fans of his writing, the stories were considered intriguing and bawdy. Fjokki's works also inspired other writers, such as the author of "Green Hood" series.

When Holgeir was bitten by a poisonous snake, Fjori journeyed to obtain a cure from the Akavir which instantly cured him. However, then Fjori too was bitten by a snake, she died immediately due to exhaustion from her journey.

In 3E 433 he set up base there and searched the ruins of Varsa Baalim, an Ayleidic city where the Nefarivigum was said to be.
