Many would-be conquerors[33] N/A 2E ? 2E ? Various warlords conquering the Imperial City, none as long-lived as the Longhouse Emperors.
Empire of CyrodiilLonghouse Emperors
Durcorach "the Black Drake" c. 2E 485[34] Reachman 2E 533[11][34] 2E 541[35][34] or 2E 542[36][37] Reachman warlord, who conquered Cyrodiil and founded the Longhouse Emperors dynasty.

Leovic 2E 542[34] Reachman 2E 564[34][39] 2E 577[34] Son of Moricar. Unlike his father and grandfather, he had no experience living outside of Cyrodiil. In 2E 576, he issued a decree that legalized Daedra worship in the Empire, but this triggered the Colovian Revolt, which led to his overthrow.
Empire of Cyrodiil — Pretenders during the Interregnum
Varen Aquilarios 2E 536[40] Imperial 2E 577[34] 2E 579[41][42][nb 7] Colovian duke of Chorrol, who overthrew Leovic at the end of the Colovian Revolt. He attempted to use a modified version of the imperial coronation ritual to light the Dragonfires and persuade Akatosh to make him Dragonborn, but he instead destroyed the divine covenant with Akatosh when the King of Worms, Mannimarco, corrupted the Amulet of Kings.

Cuhlecain 2E ? 2E 854[16][nb 10] 2E 854[16] King of Falkreath, who conquered and unified Cyrodiil. Assassinated by an uncertain perpetrator.[nb 11]
Third EmpireSeptim Dynasty
Tiber Septim 2E 828[48] 2E 854[16] 3E 38[49][50] General of Cuhlecain. Founded the Third Empire and Septim Dynasty. During the first forty-two years of his reign, he oversaw the conquest and unification of Tamriel in the Tiber War. At the conclusion of the Tiber War, he proclaimed the beginning of the Third Era.
Pelagius Septim I[nb 12]  ? 3E 38[49][50] 3E 41[49][51][52] Assassinated by the Dark Brotherhood.[49]
Kintyra Septim I ? 3E 41[49][51][52] 3E 53[50][53]:16 First cousin of Pelagius I and daughter of Tiber's brother Agnorith. Her accession marked the end of the direct dynastic line of Tiber Septim.
Uriel Septim I ? 3E 53[50][53]:16 3E 64[49][50] Son of Kintyra I. He was the great lawmaker of the Septim Dynasty and a promoter of independent organizations and guilds.
Uriel Septim II 3E ? 3E 64[49][50] 3E 82[49][54][50] Son of Uriel I. His reign was beset by blights, plagues, and insurrections, and his poor management of the Empire's financial policies left it bankrupt and in debt.
Pelagius Septim II 3E ? 3E 82[49][54][50] 3E 98[55][50][nb 13] Son of Uriel II. He dismissed the entire Elder Council and allowed only those willing to pay great sums of money to sit on the council. By the end of his reign, he fixed the Empire's financial situation. Believed to have been poisoned by a former member of the Elder Council.[56]
Antiochus Septim 3E 51[56] 3E 99[51][56][57][nb 14] 3E 120[58][59][nb 15] Son of Pelagius II. He was considered one of the most flamboyant members of the typically austere Septim family. His reign was plagued by civil wars and disgruntlement among the kings and queens of High Rock, Skyrim, and Morrowind.
Kintyra Septim II 3E 104[57] 3E 120[60][59] 3E 121[59][61][50] (deposed)

3E 123[49][51][62][nb 16] (died)

Daughter of Antiochus. Her cousin, Uriel Mantiarco, accused her of being a bastard who was not fathered by Antiochus, which ultimately led to the outbreak of the War of the Red Diamond.
Uriel Septim III 3E 97[56] 3E 121[49][61][51] 3E 127[51][63][64] Born Uriel Mantiarco, he later took the surname Septim upon his accession. He captured and imprisoned Kintyra II at Glenpoint so he could be crowned emperor and later had her executed. During the War of the Red Diamond, only half of the provinces supported him and his mother, Potema, while the rest supported his uncles, Cephorus and Magnus, who allied to oppose him.
Cephorus Septim I 3E 77[55] 3E 127[63][64][50] 3E 140[63][64] Son of Pelagius II. He defeated Uriel III at the Battle of Ichidag and was crowned emperor after Uriel III's death. His accession marked the end of the War of the Red Diamond, but he spent the next decade fighting Potema until her death at the Siege of Solitude.
Magnus Septim 3E 79[55] 3E 140[63][51] 3E 145[63][59] Son of Pelagius II. He was already elderly when his reign began, and the duty of punishing the traitorous kings of the War of the Red Diamond drained much of his remaining strength.
Pelagius Septim III "the Mad"[64] 3E 119[59] Breton 3E 145[59][64][56] 3E 153[64][59][51] Son of Magnus Septim. He was known for his eccentricities of behavior and, later, his madness. Due to his madness, he never truly ruled; instead, his wife Katariah and the Elder Council made all the decisions.
Katariah Ra'Athim ? Dunmer 3E 147[50][59] (named empress regent)

3E 153[64][59] (proclaimed empress)

3E 200[64][59][51][nb 17] Katariah was the consort of Pelagius III and assumed the position of empress regent after he was sent to an asylum. During her reign, she repaired many of the broken alliances and poor diplomatic relations caused by previous emperors, and she was popular with the common people.
Cassynder Septim c. 3E 150[59] Dunmer-Breton 3E 200[64][51] 3E 202[64][51][nb 18] Son of Pelagius III and Katariah. He was described as "half-elven."[64] He assumed the throne in bad health, so his reign only lasted two years.
Uriel Septim IV 3E ? Dunmer-Breton 3E 202[64][51][nb 18] 3E 247[65][51][50][nb 19] Born Uriel Lariat, he was the son of Katariah and her Breton consort, Gallivere Lariat. His only relation to the Septims was his half-brother Cassynder. Uriel IV was legally a Septim; Cassynder had adopted him into the royal family when he became King of Wayrest.[64] His reign was a long and difficult one in which the Elder Council assumed more and more powers.
Cephorus Septim II 3E ? Nord[66] 3E 247[65][51][50][nb 20] 3E 268[65][51] The Elder Council disinherited Uriel IV's son Andorak, and Cephorus, a family member more closely related to the original Septim line, was proclaimed emperor.[nb 21] Andorak's supporters battled the Imperial Army, leading to Andorak receiving the Kingdom of Shornhelm in order to end the war. His poor response to the Camoran Usurper's invasion resulted in increased hostility toward the inefficacious Empire.
Uriel Septim V 3E ? 3E 268[65][51] 3E 290[65][67][50] Son of Cephorus II. During his reign, he led the conquests of Roscrea, Cathnoquey, Yneslea, and Esroniet, as well as the Tamrielic Invasion of Akavir. While he was absent, civil wars continued.
Empress Regent Thonica 3E ? 3E 290[68] 3E 307[68][51] Consort of Uriel V. Uriel VI was too young to rule in his own right when he was crowned, so his mother, Thonica, ruled as regent. He was eventually allowed to assume full imperial powers in 3E 307, ending her regency. During her regency, civil wars continued.
Uriel Septim VI 3E 285[68] 3E 290[68][50] (crowned)

3E 307[68][51] (end of regency)

3E 313[68][UOL 1] Son of Uriel V. He was originally an emperor only in name, and only had the power of the imperial veto. By 3E 313, he was able to reassert the emperor's power and authority by using the imperial veto and defunct spy networks to coerce difficult members of the Elder Council. During his reign, civil wars continued.
Morihatha Septim 3E 288[68] 3E 313[68][UOL 1] 3E 339[68][50] Daughter of Uriel V. She placed the Imperial Province under the direct control of the emperor and ended the series of civil wars that had begun under her grandfather, Cephorus II, as she slowly claimed back her rebellious vassals. Killed by assassins believed to have been hired by Councilor Thoricles Romus.[68]
Pelagius Septim IV 3E 314[68] 3E 339[68][50] 3E 368[68][50][69][nb 22] Nephew of Morihatha. He continued the efforts to reunite Tamriel. By the end of Pelagius' reign, Tamriel was closer to unity than it had been since the days of Uriel I.[68]
Uriel Septim VII 3E 346[50] Imperial 3E 368[68][50][69][nb 22] 3E 389[51][68][70] Son of Pelagius IV. He continued the efforts to reunite Tamriel.
Third EmpireImperial Simulacrum
Jagar Tharn ? Multiracial 3E 389[70][68] 3E 399[68][70] Imperial Battlemage of Tamriel, who in 3E 389, imprisoned Uriel VII in Oblivion and used illusion magic to masquerade as the Emperor for a decade. During his reign, there were a number of regional wars due to the decline of Imperial authority during his reign.
Third Empire — Restoration
Uriel Septim VII 3E 346[50] Imperial 3E 399[70][50] 3E 433[71][72] Restored to the Ruby Throne following the defeat of Jagar Tharn. After his restoration, he renewed his efforts to reunite Tamriel. Assassinated by the Order of the Mythic Dawn.[72]
Martin Septim 3E ? Imperial 3E 433[72][73] 3E 433[72][73] Martin was an illegitimate son of Uriel VII and was crowned shortly after his father's death. His only act as emperor was to sacrifice himself in order to defeat Mehrunes Dagon and end the Oblivion Crisis.
Third Empire — Non-dynastic
Potentate Ocato of Firsthold ? Altmer 4E 1[74] c. 4E 15[75][nb 23] Ocato was originally the High Chancellor of the Elder Council, but he reluctantly assumed the position of potentate after the failure to select a new emperor. Believed to have been assassinated by the Thalmor.[75]
Third EmpireStormcrown Interregnum
Thules "the Gibbering" ? Imperial 4E ? c. 4E 22[76]:96[75] Nibenese witch-warrior, who assumed control of the Empire at some point during the Stormcrown Interregnum. He was not a well-liked ruler, and he was known for having various perversions. Nevertheless, the Elder Council favored him because he was Nibenese.
Third EmpireMede Dynasty
Titus Mede I  ? Imperial c. 4E 22[75] After 4E 48[76] Colovian warlord, who deposed Thules the Gibbering and founded the Mede Dynasty. During his reign, he worked to stabilize and rebuild the Empire, although he was never able to reestablish imperial control over all of Tamriel.
Attrebus Mede[nb 24] 4E 26[77]:105 Imperial 4E ? 4E ? Son of Titus Mede I.
Unknown[nb 25]  ? 4E ? 4E 168[78] Mede Emperor, who is said to have left a weakened empire.[78]
Titus Mede II 4E ? Imperial 4E 168[78] 4E 201[79] He led the Empire through the Great War against the Aldmeri Dominion, but after four years of fighting, the Empire was in no shape to continue the war, forcing Titus II to sign the controversial White-Gold Concordat, which banned Talos worship and caused the Empire to have to cede Hammerfell. The ban on Talos worship eventually led to the outbreak of the Stormcloak Rebellion.

Notes[edit]

  1. ^ The dates of Shor-El's reign are unknown, but Shor-El is mentioned after Hestra in Where were you when the Dragon Broke? as part of the Emperor Oversoul.
  2. ^ The Remanada contains a mythical story of Reman emerging from Sancre Tor as a child, but this should not be taken as literal truth.
  3. ^ a b Reman II's epitaph states that he was crowned emperor in 1E 2812 and reigned for 39 years, but according to Reman II: The Limits of Ambition, Reman II deposed Kastav in 1E 2804 and died in 1E 2843. The most likely explanation is that Reman II deposed Kastav in 1E 2804, but he was only officially crowned emperor after Kastav's death in 1E 2812.
  4. ^ Most sources such as The Brothers of Darkness, Pocket Guide to the Empire, 3rd Edition, and Systres History: Volume 7 state that Savirien-Chorak was assassinated in 2E 430, but other sources such as the Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition and the Crafting Motifs series state that Savirien-Chorak was assassinated in 2E 431. Since more sources state that Savirien-Chorak was assassinated in 2E 430, this year is presumably the correct year of the assassination.
  5. ^ It is unclear which assassin organization assassinated Savirien-Chorak. The Brothers of Darkness states that the Dark Brotherhood assassinated Savirien-Chorak, while Sacred Witness states that the Morag Tong were responsible for the assassination.
  6. ^ It is unknown when the warlord Attrebus assumed the Imperial Throne during the Interregnum. The Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition, establishes that Attrebus' reign occurred prior to the city of Rimmen's secession from Elsweyr in 2E 812, and the book mentions that the Akaviri were expelled from Cyrodiil by Attrebus during his reign and that they later settled in the Rim Territories in Elsweyr. The Rim-men already existed by 2E 582, and since every emperor from 2E 533 to 2E 582 is known, this means that Attrebus could have only reigned sometime during the period from the assassination of Savirien-Chorak in 2E 430 to the accession of Durcorach the Black Drake in 2E 533.
  7. ^ a b The Chronicles of the Five Companions and The Chorrol Crier state that Varen Aquilarios disappeared in 2E 579, while Triumphs of a Monarch states that Varen Aquilarios disappeared in 2E 578. More sources use 2E 579 as the year of Varen's disappearance, so this year can be presumed to be more accurate.
  8. ^ During the Three Banners War, when each alliance gained control of the keeps around the Imperial City, they would crown a figurehead emperor from among their warriors. These emperors' reigns were extremely short-lived and their names have been lost to history.[46]
  9. ^ At some point prior to 2E 812, the remnants of the defeated Kamal army that invaded Tamriel in 2E 572 seized the Imperial Throne from the successors of the warlord Attrebus. This suggests that at least one Kamal ruled as emperor for a time.
  10. ^ Cuhlecain proclaimed himself emperor upon capturing the Imperial City, but he was assassinated before he could be formally crowned. His successor, Tiber Septim, later honored Cuhlecain as "Emperor Zero".
  11. ^ Who was responsible for the assassination of Cuhlecain is controversial. The Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition states that Cuhlecain was assassinated by a nightblade from the Western Reach, while The Arcturian Heresy states that Tiber Septim assassinated Cuhlecain and covered it up by claiming that a nightblade from the Western Reach was actually behind the assassination.[16][48]
  12. ^ There is some disagreement regarding Pelagius' relationship with Tiber Septim. A version of Brief History of the Empire and the Biography of Barenziah refer to Pelagius as Tiber's son, but a revised version of Brief History of the Empire, Pocket Guide to the Empire, 3rd Edition, and The Arcturian Heresy refer to Pelagius as Tiber's grandson. Additionally, the original version of The Real Barenziah refers to Pelagius as Tiber's son, while the revised version of the book instead refers to him as both Tiber's grandson and son, directly contradicting itself. The Real Barenziah suggests that Tiber's wife, simply referred to as the Empress, had multiple children. The likeliest explanations include that Tiber and his wife had female children otherwise unrecorded in history. Other possibilities include that the Empress had children that were not Tiber's children, that the two of them had secret offspring, or simply a mistake on the part of the author. Regardless, the throne ended up with Kintyra I.
  13. ^ The Third Era Timeline and Biography of the Wolf Queen both state that Pelagius' reign ended in 3E 99; this is likely a rounded figure, however, as The Wolf Queen states that he died on the 15th of Evening Star, 3E 98 (Evening Star is the last month in the year). The Daggerfall Chronicles also places the death of Pelagius in 3E 98.
  14. ^ The Wolf Queen, The Third Era Timeline, and Biography of the Wolf Queen state that Antiochus was crowned in 3E 99. The Daggerfall Chronicles states that he was crowned in 3E 98. And Brief History of the Empire states Antiochus assumed the throne twelve years prior to 3E 110, which also places his accession in 3E 98.
  15. ^ The Wolf Queen, v5 states that Antiochus fell into a coma in 3E 119 and that his funeral was in 3E 120. The Madness of Pelagius states that Antiochus died when Pelagius was just over a year old (Pelagius was born in 3E 119), which places Antiochus' death in 3E 120. Both books are contradicted by the Biography of the Wolf Queen, which explicitly places his death in 3E 112. The year 3E 120 can be assumed to be correct, since more sources state that to be the correct year.
  16. ^ There is uncertainty over the date of Kintyra's death. According to the Biography of the Wolf Queen, Kinytra was executed in 3E 114, but The Third Era Timeline refers to this date as the "reported death of Empress Kintyra II". The Wolf Queen lists 3E 121 and 3E 125 as possible years for Kinytra's execution, while The Third Era Timeline and Broken Diamonds state that her death occurred on the 23rd of Frostfall, 3E 123. According to Brief History of the Empire, Kintyra was imprisoned for two years after her capture and then killed, placing her death in 3E 123. As more sources confirm 3E 123 as the year of Kintyra's death, this can be assumed to be correct.
  17. ^ Both Brief History of the Empire and The Madness of Pelagius put the length of Katariah's reign at forty-six years, and The Third Era Timeline puts her death in 3E 200. A possible explanation of the stated length of Katariah's reign by Brief History of the Empire and The Madness of Pelagius could be that Katariah's reign began in late 3E 153 but ended in early 3E 200, meaning that her reign may have in reality lasted forty-six years and some months, but not quite forty-seven years.
  18. ^ a b Brief History of the Empire makes two contradictory statements regarding Cassynder's year of death. First, it says that "in two years, [after his reign began] he was dead"; In the next volume, however, it contradicts itself by saying that Cassynder died "three years after [his accession]". It is likely that the second statement is incorrect, as The Third Era Timeline lists Cassynder's death as occurring in 3E 202, which is two years after he became emperor.
  19. ^ Brief History of the Empire states that Uriel IV's reign lasted 43 years, but this is clearly an error since both The Daggerfall Chronicles and The Third Era Timeline place Uriel's death in 3E 247 and Brief History of the Empire places the accession of Uriel's successor Cephorus II in 3E 247.
  20. ^ Although Brief History of the Empire states Cephorus II became emperor in 3E 268, this is obviously an error and was corrected in a revised version of the book. The same book states that Uriel Septim V also became emperor in 3E 268, so it is more logical to assume that 3E 247 is the correct year. The Daggerfall Chronicles and The Third Era Timeline both use 3E 247 as the date of Cephorus' accession.
  21. ^ Cephorus is described as "a cousin more closely related to the original Septim line", although his precise line of descent is not clear.
  22. ^ a b Brief History of the Empire states that Pelagius reigned for 49 years, but this has been acknowledged as an error - the correct span is 29 years.
  23. ^ Ocato's death and the subsequent beginning of the Stormcrown Interregnum are never given precise dates. In Rising Threat, the accession of Titus Mede I and therefore the end of the Stormcrown Interregnum, which lasted for seven years, is placed around the same time as the Thalmor takeover of the Summerset Isles, which The Great War states occurred in 4E 22. Dating seven years back from this date yields the year 4E 15.
  24. ^ Although it is never stated that Attrebus Mede succeeded his father as emperor, it can be assumed that he did because he was crown prince as of 4E 48; there was no indication of other heirs to the throne at the time, and the Mede Dynasty remained the ruling imperial dynasty until at least the end of Titus II's reign.
  25. ^ It is unknown how many Mede Emperors reigned between Attrebus and Titus II. Given the 142-year gap between Attrebus' birth in 4E 26 and Titus II's accession to the throne in 4E 168, and the fact that Titus II is stated to have inherited the Empire, it is inferable that at least one Mede reigned as emperor between Attrebus and Titus II.
