"The memories of this Imperial. We're going to see it first-hand. And I can also do a 'third-person' view of it as well" she said, as she activated the table, projecting the memories, or what was salvaged.

Several Imperial soldiers were getting ready for war. Among them was Tribune Afer Aeresius. Almost everyone in his regiment were armed with what seemed to be magically-enchanted crossbows.

......

(cue this music as you read)

Trebuchets were being fired upon towards the city of Whiterun, in Skyrim, ranging from normal boulders to flaming ammunition to burn down structures. Siege ladders were also being used to scale the walls of Whiterun.

As the civilians tried to escape however they can, their escape continued to be cut off due to Imperial tactics similar to the Battle of the Red Ring.

......

The Imperial Army marched the streets of Solitude next. Having blocked off all exits and some of them entering through a forgotten passage from the Temple of the Divines, the entire citizenry of the city was trapped as Imperial soldiers marched the streets of Solitude.

Their orders were to kill-on-sight. The citizenry included. They obeyed without question, even though some harbored their own thoughts regarding the order.

Many willingly used their magical crossbows to shoot down unarmed citizens of Skyrim, and slaughtered anyone else who resisted against Imperial authority.

......

At Elsweyr in the next campaign, the same thing happened. The Imperial war machine seemed unstoppable, leaving death and destruction in it's wake. They eventually moved on to Valenwood next, and finally, Summerset Isles. Same stategy, and even more slaughter by the Imperials, before placing the conquered provinces under Imperial rule.

......

Eventually, Afer became a Legate, and was soon tasked with heading for High Rock from an unknown figure with a black coat on, with a hood covering their entire face.

"Come back victorious or don't come back at all."

"Yes, sir."

Estelle continued to watch, taking on a startled expression from what she had just watched.
