Daggerfall Covenant (Children's Anuad)

The Daggerfall Covenant was a military alliance formed in the Second Era during the chaotic Interregnum. It vied the Aldmeri Dominion and the Ebonheart Pact for dominance of Cyrodiil and contested for the Ruby Throne during the Three Banners War.

Structure and History
The first Covenant was formed in response to the invasion of High Rock in 2E 542 by Reachmen under the command of Durcorach, the "Black Drake". The invasion was a complete surprise, and was only barely repulsed after months of fighting, led by King Bergamot and a young Earl Emeric

In the aftermath, the kings of Daggerfall, Wayrest, Camlorn, Evermore, and Shornhelm signed the Covenant as a defensive pact against foreign threats. The kingdoms rebuilt and prospered, and Emeric ascended to the throne of Wayrest due to the Knahaten Flu.

As king, Emeric married Princess Maraya of Hammerfell, which was a completely unexpected move, as many assumed that Emeric would wed the daughter of King Ranser. Nevertheless, this strengthened diplomatic relations as well as trade between High Rock and Hammerfell. However, Ranser, enraged by Emeric's action, hired his own army of mercenaries and stormed Wayrest.

Fortunately, the other kingdoms of High Rock honored their earlier Covenant and came to Emeric's defense, while King Fahara'jad, now an ally by marriage, sent elite troops across the Iliac bay to assist in Emeric's defense of Wayrest. These combined forces crushed and routed Ranser's army into a retreat, with them only to find that their homeland has been sacked during their absence by the Orcs, whom were led by King Kurog.

Seeing the political advantage of having the Orcs as mutual allies, Emeric sent an emissary to the Orcs, requesting their aid in exchange that their homeland of Orsinium would be recognized an an official sovereign state. The combined forces of Bretons, Redguards, and Orcs utterly crushed Ranser in a matter of days, and this formed the Second Daggerfall Covenant that was well-known in the time of the Three Banners War.
