Auroran Crisis

The Auroran Crisis was a short-lived attempt by the ancient Ayleid Sorcerer-King Umaril the Unfeathered to take revenge on the Nine Divines for their role in his original downfall. It was fought between the Knights of the Nine, a holy order restored to glory by the Second Divine Crusader Bennirus Talanian, and the daedric forces of Umaril.

The conflict did not lost more than a month; however, it caused a great deal of damage within Cyrodiil: the Chapel of Dibella in Anvil was heavily damaged with its priests and priestesses murdered, and widespread panic was caused throughout the Imperial province. Ultimately, the crisis ended at the Battle of Garlas Malatar, where Bennirus Talanian destroyed Umaril in both physical and spiritual form.
