Events of Back to Roots(4E 218-219)
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.

It has been two months since Ulfric's ultimatum. Laila has since put Thane Mjoll in charge of dealing with the Thieves Guild in Riften. The thane tried to go with some men into the Ratways but was ambushed, corrupt guards told Maven of her plan. Since then Mjoll and some other lawful guards have been trying to find who the corrupt guards were while also trying to get dirt on Maven. Laila and Maven had a little of a falling out, and since then Maven has been trying to get close to Laila's youngest son, Saerlund, for unknown reasons. Karliah and a few other members of the Thieves Guild have started to become fed up with Maven for bossing them around as if she owned them. Because Mjoll has been investigating her Maven ordered the guild to have a thief tail the thane at all times and then ordered the kidnapping of her family as insurance in case she found dirt on Maven. Two lawful guards infiltrated Maven's Lodge east of Riften and found some papers in a safe that might tie her to the Thieves Guild.

Another month has passed and so much has changed. Maven used Mjoll family as a means of getting back the evidence that was taken from her lodge. Mjoll then quit her job as leader of the guard to take care of her husband, for fear that Maven would take him away again. Francois was promoted to Guard Captain. He ordered Arnor and Abbard to go to the Ratways and find the Thieves Guild hideout, they made it to the Ragged Flagon and the Black Market but were forced to get back to the surface because of events that unfolded above. Maven had contacted the Dark Brotherhood and had them kill Laila Law-Giver, and planted evidence to put the blame on Laila's oldest son, Harrald. Saerlund was then made Jarl, and Maven became his advisor. Francois found out about the Dark Brotherhood's involvement because he knew the assassin, Aventus Arentino, his brother. Maven then had Maul throw Francois into the lake to try to kill him, luckily for Francois a guard named Lieli saved him. Francois then had to run away from Riften to escape Maven. Maven had Saerlund appoint a corrupt guard, Tobias, as the new guard Captain. Tobias was tasked with getting rid of every uncorrupt guard in Riften, in the process he imprisoned Abbard. Arnor Gray-Dawn and Lieli Stone then escaped Riften headed to Windhelm to get help from the High King, where they met up with Francois.

The lawful guards were able to convince Ulfric to aid them, who sent a platoon under Sofie to Riften. Maven had the city locked down in anticipation of the Stormcloak attack. While Sofie fired arrows on the guards atop the north wall Francois and the guards sneaked into the city through Honeyside. Francois and Arnor held the guards off as Lieli went to open the gates for the Stormcloaks. Mjoll saved Lieli's life then helped her open the gates. The Stormcloaks and the guards had a full on battle inside the city as they made their way to the Keep. During the confusion two thieves were sent to assassinate the lawful guards, they poisoned Francois and Lieli but Francois was able to get Ingrun to make an antidote for them. Maul went after Ingrun and clashed with Arnor and Francois, dying in the process. The thieves guild abandoned Maven and cut ties with her as the Stormcloaks imprisoned her and Saerlund. Tobias and the remaining guards left Riften during the commotion. After a few days of Martial law the guards were able to prove Harrald's innocence and he took over as Jarl, and so the Stormcloaks left Riften. The Thieves Guild has been working to ensure their survival and that Maven remains in jail while the guards try to find evidence in order to lock her up for good.

The guards were able to find the incriminating evidence to lock Maven up. Francois and Lieli went to find Maven's bank records to find the Dark Brotherhood's payment, along the way they were ambushed by Tobias and the Blackguards, his new mercenary group. The two guards were able to kill Tobias and his mercenaries and returned to Riften safely. The Thieves Guild decided to help the guards, behind the scenes, with the investigation and discovered that one of Maven's servants was used as the sacrifice for the Black Sacrament. A group of thieves travelled to the Black-Briar Lodge to confront Maven's Shadow about the location of the body. Sapphire, Kradien and Eyjne fought against Shadow and the other mercenaries and were able to get the location off him before killing him. They travelled to where Shadow said it would be and found the skeleton. After that they drew a map of the location and left it for the guards to find. Arnor and Abbard searched for the location where the ritual was performed, they had already searched Maven's Manor, her Lodge and her Meadery but had forgotten to search her warehouse. They headed to the Docks and searched it. Abbard found a secret trapdoor that led to a secret basement under the warehouse. There they discovered where the Black Sacrament was conducted. After gathering all the evidence they brought Maven to her trial. Anuriel, the Jarl's steward was secretly working for Maven and together they were undermining almost all the evidence gathered. However Saerlund had witnessed the two talking and he testified that Anuriel was corrupt. After the revelation the trial continued and Jarl Harrald sentenced Maven to live the rest of her days in prison.

Saerlund was found innocent of the conspiracy and was released, he took Anuriel's place as the Jarl steward. Anuriel was imprisoned. Maven then reached out to Francois and told him the Thieves Guild's secrets, including their location, in a deal to move her to Sibbi's cell. Francois then mobilized the guards and they set out to raid the guild. They easily made their way to the Flagon and fought against the thieves. Dirge, Delvin and Etienne were killing during the fight and Vex, Tonilia, Vekel, Thrynn and Garthar were captured. The guards then made their way to the Cistern. The thieves knew that the secret exit through the cemetery was compromised, but they remembered another exit...Mercer's secret tunnel in the Vault. Karliah led the thieves out while Brynjolf and two others ran interference on the guards. During their fight with the guards Brynjolf used his Nightingale power to make Mjoll and Lieli start fighting. Just before Mjoll killed Lieli Francois shot an Icy Spear through Brynjolf's chest, killing him and breaking the spell. Karliah was able to get a good number of thieves out of the Cistern and to Mercer's old house. They then split up and left Riften.

Three months have passed and the Thieves Guilds of Cyrodiil and Morrowind were both raided, effectively destroying those guilds. More members of the Skyrim Thieves Guild were captured and the High King officially proclaimed the guild destroyed. However a small group of thieves were able to stay in hiding and alluded the guards. Karliah has come out of hiding to gather them up for a heist that will bring the Thieves Guild back to its roots.

In the shadows, the Blackheart Privateers slowly begin returning to their operations in the Iliac Bay, and used proxies via bandits and pirates to remain well-supplied.

Events of Plight of the Reachmen(4E 223-224)
Ever since the death of Madanach, the King in Rags, the Forsworn have gone into hiding to avoid getting wiped out. They were without leadership and as a result they were no match for the Stormcloaks once they had defeated the Legion and reunified Skyrim. Most people thought the Forsworn were no more, gone forever from the face of Nirn. However, 22 years have passed since the death of their King. The Forsworn have breed a new generation of angry Reachmen that want their land back and they have started to once again cause terror in the Reach. For now they have only attacked caravans and bands of travelers, leaving no survivors. Most people in Markarth think it is just a group of bandits that it attacking people in the Reach, however some people know better. They know the storm that is looming on the horizon.

Relations between the Reachmen living in peace with the Nords haven't gotten better in the past 22 years. They are still treated as second-class citizens and most are living in poverty. The Silver-Blood clan as ruled the Reach since Thongvor became Jarl in 4E 202. Many people resent the Silver-Blood because they would do anything for money, and they have a history with forcing people to sell land to them. However the Jarl is a usually a part of family business and leaves most of that to his cousins in Granite Hall. He is more worried about his hold than his family's business, as he knew it was only a matter of time until the Forsworn resurfaced. He was one of the few that knew the attacks were by bandits. He feared what was to come.

Garbhan and the Forsworn continued to terrorize the Reach, they captured two mines from the Silver-Blood family and attack almost all the caravans that head to Markarth. The Chieftain of the Forsworn has tried to unite the Reachmen clans that left the Forsworn after his uncle, Madanach, was killed. he was able to get one after he left the Reach and attacked a giant's camp. There he killed the giants and reanimated them as his thralls, with the help of the Hagravens in his faction. At the camp he also came into contact with Naerion Nelthar, who offered him an alliance, which Garbhan refused, and then attacked the Forsworn. Naerion then attacked one of their camps and after that went on an expedition into a dwemer ruin where he and the Nelthars that serve him found a control crown for that ruin's dwemer automatons. Naerion sent his subordinates to various factions to try to form an alliance with them, as he needed more troops to besiege Markarth. The Stormcloaks garrison of the Reach, under the command of Cristus Winter-Axe, started fighting back against the Forsworn threat. They attacked Serpent's Leap Redoubt and were able to capture plenty of Forsworn, which they took to Cidna Mine for interrogation. So far they haven't found out anything important. Garbhan, to gain more power, underwent a procedure to turn himself into a Briar-Heart. Now no one could call him weak due to his age. He also had his right hand man set up a heist to steal the Red Eagle's sword from the Dragonborn in Winstad.

Garbhan's right hand man set up the heist to steal the Red Eagle's sword from Winstad, the thief was successful but when he turned the sword in to Garbhan the Briar King, as he was now calling himself, attacked him. The thief left for dead, but was saved by Eignach against his king's wishes. An assassin was sent to kill the Briar King, but he failed. Garbhan traded assassin's life for information on his client. Now knowing him betrayed him Garbhan killed the traitor's son and pretended that he was the assassin, calling all the clan leaders to a meeting. He then showed the true identity of the body to them and had the assassin kill the traitor. The Stormcloaks learned the identity of the leader of the Forsworn, after interrogating the captured Reachmen. Naerion was able to get vampires from the Reach and mercenaries from the Rift to aid him in his scheme. With an army made up of Nelthars, vampires, mercenaries and Dwemer animunculi Naerion marched on Markarth and took the city. There his forces slaughtered most of the guards, only a few having escaped and hidden themselves in the Warrens. He put Jarl Thongvor in Cidhna Mine and began fortifying the city. Word of the city's capture soon reached the Stormcloaks, who readied their forces to march and take it back. In the meantime the Forsworn attacked Amber Guard and burned it to the ground, killing all the inhabitants. This caused Eignach to start questioning his decision of joining the Forsworn. He began to conspire with Tahara and her shaman Ulen. However Garbhan picked up on this and thought of a way to keep Eignach loyal. The Forsworn attacked and took Karthwasten, capturing non-Reachmen from the city. Including Eignach's wife, Anja. This guaranteed Eignach's loyalty. The Stormcloaks, after having bolsters their ranks with the garrisons of Haafingar and Hjaalmarch, and having the Dragonborn's son and the Dawnguard join them, set off to reclaim Markarth. They fought tooth and nail with Naerion's forces and suffered heavy casualties, but in the end won the battle. Only after managing to bribe the mercenaries with freedom from the law and getting them to leave the battle. With Markarth back in the hands of Skyrim Naerion headed off, only to be imprisoned by Nelthro. The Jarl was set free and the Stormcloaks garrisoned the city to protect it, since it no longer had any guards.

The Stormcloaks took over as the guards of Markarth, Lieli Beaufort became Jarl Thongvor's temporary housecarl as his previous one had been killed by Naerion's forces. The garrisons from Haafingar and Hjaalmarch returned to their respective holds, leaving only the garrison of the Reach left in the city. The Jarl and the Stormcloaks started to rebuild and bring order back to the capital of the hold. Elsewhere the Forsworn had captured Fort Sungard and were now gathering their forces to attack the already weakened Markarth. A Stormcloak messenger, which was sent to inform the garrison of the fort of the success of the battle for Markarth, was killed by the Forsworn and his message given to their King. With the information Garbha felt more confident and soon they marched on Markarth. They attacked with their full might, their warriors, shamans, archers, Briar-Hearts, Hagravens and Giant Thralls. The Stormcloaks put up a valiant defense but their were outnumbered and that caused them to slowly lose ground. Two giants remained out of the four and were able to destroy the gates. It was then that the Stormcloaks stormed the city and dealt a final blow to the soldiers defending it. The commanding officer of the Reach, Cristus, fell during the battle. Fox, an Ice-Veins, had his apprentice teleport out of the city before it fell and she was able to inform the wife of the Jarl of Hjaalmarch of the incident, who then sent word to the High King. The Forsworn broke into the Keep and confronted the Jarl, it was during this that Thongvor met Eignach, whom he recognized as his son. This caused the Briar King to turn of Eignach and soon a fight broke out. Only the Jarl, his son and two Stormcloaks, Lieli and Fox, were able to escape through the ruins and out of the city.

Pre-A Game of Thrones(4E 224-227)
The large pirate group, led by the now infamous pirate Gogan Ruuz, raided a sizable village on the coast of Hammerfell. Gogan has two ships under his command.

Jarl Eignach has used the money at his disposal to refurbish the Warren into a decent place to live for the Reachmen in the city of Markarth.

The village of Amber Guard was rebuilt. The lands were innitially given to the Reachmen to occupy but the families of the original citizens, who died at the hands of the Forsworn, were angered and asked that the lands be given to their rightful owners. This almost caused trouble between the Nords and Reachmen, but the Jarl decided to have them both coexist in the village. The lands unclaimed by the families were given to the Reachmen, while the rest were given back to the original owners.

Jarl Eignach and his wife, Tahara, had a child.

Gogan's ships continued to terrorize western Tamriel, raiding coastal villages and any vessel dumb enough to travel alone.

With the help of his wife, Fox successfully creates a prototype "Spellcrafter's Table" in 4E 226, where mages could create customized spells with the proper knowledge and know-how. Tests with the table proved to be of great success. Later, Elyna proposed to have a copy of the manual sent to Serana at Hjaalmarch as a gift of gratitude for the latter's help two years earlier, to which Fox agrees and delivered to the latter in person.
