Grandmaster Delmene Hlaalu was a Dunmeri politician who lived at the end of the First Era and the beginning of the Second Era. He was the High Hlaalu of the House Hlaalu who led the house in the early years of the Second Era, during the period of history directly after the end of the Four-Score War,[1][2] in 1E 2920.[3][4]

Delmene, who was described as an old man, wrested power from the previous house elder in a "bloodless" coup. Even though the coup was generally referred to as bloodless at least six men were killed when Delmene was taking over the leadership of House Hlaalu. During his leadership House Hlaalu amassed great wealth and prestige, exploiting the state of the Northeastern Tamriel after the Four-Score War. This period was known as Hlaalu's age of gilded glory.[1][2]

One of the pieces of the Tales of Tribute, a popular card game originating from the Systres Archipelago played continent-wide during the Interregnum in Second Era[5] bore the image of the Grandmaster Delmene Hlaalu. A deck themed after House Hlaalu's age of gilded glory was part of the game.[2]
