Reckoner



The Reckoners are a mysterious group of people, or perhaps creatures, that were instrumental during the gods' defeat during the Divine War. Very little is known about them, but since the War's end they have remained on Tamriel for some purpose. The total number of Reckoners is unknown, but suspected to be five.

Description
Reckoners look humanoid in appearance, but neither their skin nor their faces have ever been seen, so what they really look like is unknown. They wear long black robes, with chains hanging off them. Whether the chains are symbolic or functional in some way is unknown.

Reckoners also have blue staffs. The power contained within these weapons is unknown, but it must have been great in order to kill the gods.

History
Nobody is quite sure where the Reckoners came from. It is possible that they were created before the Divine War, and were in fact the weapons capable of killing the gods, and so were the cause behind it. Otherwise, it seems likely that they were created during the War in order to fight for the mortals. A more disturbing theory exists that the Reckoners have been alive much longer than the other theories would propose, and have been watching and waiting for millennia.

Whatever their origins, the Reckoners were capable of killing the inhabitants of Aetherius and Oblivion, and so were the greatest weapon the mortals possessed. The scale of their involvement is difficult to ascertain, but it must have been quite large.
