History
Titus Mede II was crowned Emperor in the year 168 of the Fourth Era, inheriting a weakened Empire from his predecessor in the Mede Dynasty, which consisted of Hammerfell, High Rock, Skyrim, and Cyrodiil. Only the latter three remained peaceful and prosperous, as Hammerfell was in civil war during this time.[2] The Imperial military was also greatly weakened from many wars that the Empire had been involved in, and what remained of the Legion forces was scattered across the provinces.
