Pre-Return of the Septim Dynasty(4E 204-212)
In 4E 202 Titus Mede II was killed by the Dark Brotherhood, who were contacted by Amaund Motierre. He was working for the Thalmor. Titus's death caused a war of succession in Cyrodiil, with his four children being the biggest contenders of the throne.

In 4E 204 the 2nd Great War began with the Dominion attack in Hammerfell, at this time the Skyrim Civil War was still going on. The Stormcloaks won the Civil War. They allied with the Redguards against the Dominion. Augurius Mede, one of Titus Mede II's sons, was crowned Emperor. By the end of that year he called a truce between the Empire and Stormcloak Skyrim and united the races of Men against the Dominion by allying with Hammerfell too. The Dominion had taken southern Hammerfell and now invaded Cyrodiil. In 4E 205 Orsinium became an official Imperial Province once again, which caused the Orcs to support the Empire. The Dunmer and the Argonians then joined the conflict on the side of the Empire through an alliance with the Nords(New Ebonheart Pact). With the Help of the Nords the Redguards were able to repel the Dominion advance into northern Hammerfell.

In 4E 207 the 2nd Great War ended with a Imperial Victory.

In 4E 208 the Emperor declared war on the Ebonheart Pact, the three year war ended with Imperial Victory. The Empire now owns all the provinces again. Emperor Augurius Mede ruled with an iron fist, he was highly agressive and impatient, he believed in the greater good and that the ends justify the means. He won the war no one can dispute that but he was a tyrant and even though many were afraid of him the people of Tamriel have had enough.

In 212 the breton ruler of Shornhelm, Daric Lariat claimed to the the rightful ruler of the Empire. With the help of the famous Nordic Scholar Harold, Daric was able to prove his ancestor Empress Katariah was a direct decendant of Tiber Septim. This means Daric Lariat is of dragon blood. With this new revelation many of Emperor Augurius's enemies have sided with Daric. The Nords of Skyrim are among the ones who pledged their allegiance to Daric, because of their hatred of Augurius for betraying them.

Events of the Return of the Septim Dynasty(4E 213-215)
In 213 Daric Lariat started his conquest of High Rock. After a hard campaign against the other High Rock kingdoms Daric was finally able to claim the throne of High Rock.

Six months after Daric took the throne of High Rock the Hammerfell Civil War was at its peak. The Forebears had allied with Daric while the Crowns were still loyal to the Empire. Rihad was captured by Crown forces. In retaliation the Forebears took Stros M'Kai, which supplied the Nelthars with Jarrin Root. Because of that crucial ingredient the Nelthars switched sides and made an alliance with the Forebears. King Bodean, leader of the Forebears, returned to his city Taneth only to find it was being besieged by the Crown Army. The Crowns fired on Bodean's ship and then captured him in its wreck. They used the King and made the Forebears defending the city open the gates, afterwards they killed the soldiers and captured the city. Bodean and his lieutenants were imprisoned in the dungeon. When Bodean's cousin, King Cluson of Hegathe brought a large army to Taneth to recapture it Bodean was able to escape prison and join the fight. With the help of the Sorceress Xeraz Kanir, who made a giant sand dune reaching up to the wall, the Army was able to penetrate the city's defenses and fought the remaining Crown soldiers on the streets. King Bodean found the Imperial General Glallian of the 6th Legion and challenged him to a duel, ultimately killing him and taking back Taneth.

The Breton Army, seeing that the Forebears were losing the war, travelled through the Reach and to Hammerfell. They reached the city of Dragonstar, which is separated into East and West Dragonstar, with two different goverments. Commander Ethan and Knight-Brother Caesar made a deal with the East to take out the West, the deal included the Commander and the Knight-Brother destroying a rebel group called the Setting Suns. The two found the hideout and were ambushed by the Sun's leader. During the initial fight one of the Suns, an argonian named Skaal-ti, was actually a sympathizer of Daric and helped the Commander and the Blade in destroying the Suns. The three discovered that the Suns were being financed by the West's King and returned to the Eastern Council with the information. Now an ally of the East, the Breton Army readies itself to strike West Dragonstar.

The Argonian Horde lead by the An-Xileel has been taking back their cities from the Empire. So far two northern cities have been liberated and the Imperial Government in the province is becoming suspicious of the secret Argonian rebellion.

King Bodean of the Forebears, along with General Ethan from High Rock and Joran Nerevar from Morrowind, managed to turn the tide of the war and secure a Forebears victory. During the siege of Sentinel, the last great battle of the war, the Crown High King Ennah sacrificed himself to kill a Daedroth that had been summoned by a Sload. The Sload had been controlling Ennah in the interests of the Empire.

A few weeks after the Battle of Sentinel. Daric received some visitors in High Rock. Jina Nerevar, the daughter of Joran Nerevar, wanting to form an alliance with Daric to undermine House Redoran. Nelthro also visited Daric to formalize the alliance between the Nelthars and Daric, as one of the conditions of the alliance Daric gained control of Nelthar forces while the Nelthar leader gained a seat in the Elder Council. Two mysterious assassins tried to kill Jina, they had fake Redoran pins on them. Caesar tried to investigate the attempt but was unable to continue due to lack of evidence, as Nelthro had taken the other evidence before anyone could see as it was a Nelthar symbol. In Morrowind Houses Redoran and Indoril expanded their territories, though they eventually came into direct conflict near Narsis. House Hlaalu and their Imperial allies attacked the Redoran and Indoril, routing them as they were too busy fighting each other. Daric then intervened and forced Redoran and Indoril into an alliance, supporting Joran Nerevar's claim for the throne. With the Houses united under Joran they were able to take Narsis and push the Empire out of Morrowind.

Post Return of the Septim Dynasty/Pre-Back to Roots(4E 215-218)
To help the Empire's economy Darius created the Banker's Guild, to administrate and maintain the Empire's economy. The leader of the guild is the Imperial Treasurer, who is chosen by Darius. One of the many things that the Banker's Guild have done is change the septim currency, there are now different coins. The Gold Septim, with is worth 10 old septims. The Silver Septim, which is worth 5 old septims. The Steel Septim, that is worth 2 old septims. And the Bronze Septim(Made from iron and a little bit of Corundum), with is worth 1 old Septim.

The Empire rebuilt itself after the war that brought the return of the Septim Dynasty. Cyrodiil was by far the most damaged province and it took time for the Imperial City to get back to what it once was. Though the future looks bright for the Empire and its provinces.

Events of Back to Roots(4E 218-)
Since 4E 201 the Skyrim Thieves Guild have exploded in influence. The various wars that Tamriel had been in also helped in increasing the infamy and power of the Skyrim Thieves Guild. Because of the success of the Skyrim Thieves Guild the Thieves Guild in Morrowind and Cyrodiil have come back to life, but the three Thieves Guilds are independent and compete against each other. However that sort of infamy puts them into the light, something that isn't good for them.

For a long time the people of Riften have known of the Thieves Guild presence in the Ratways. The Jarl, Laila Law-Giver, had given the job of taking down the Thieves Guild to Maven Black-Briar. It had been almost two decades and the situation in Riften just keeps getting worse. The only thieves that ever get caught in Riften are independent thieves that are trying to take advantage of the situation. Maven protects the Thieves Guild and uses her connections to basically act as the Under-Jarl of Riften.
