Alessian Order coup (speculation)[edit]
Belharza the Man-Bull, an apparent minotaur and the offspring of Alessia and Morihaus, succeeded Alessia to the Imperial throne in 1E 266. Beyond this, we know very little of the lineage of the emperors of the First Empire. A brief few lines in Lore:A Life of Strife and Struggle, combined with Lore:On Minotaurs and certain statements in Lore:Lady Clarisse Laurent Answers Your Questions, give rise to interesting implications.
Per ALOSAS, it can be inferred that Belharza was deposed in a coup d'etat in 1E 332. LCLAYQ provides an explanation for said coup: the Alessian Order strongly disliked nonhumans, including minotaurs. OM posits that Belharza and the minotaurs faced violent opposition from proto-Alessians during his reign. Conclusion: the nascent Order became strong enough that it was able to overthrow the Empire's minotaur emperor in 1E 332 (despite him being the blood of their holy Alessia) and drive other minotaurs from civilized territory. But Belharza's usurper had to have been a Dragonborn in order to maintain the covenant with Akatosh and be recognized as legitimate. Could the usurper be another heir of Alessia by a human consort, or even a child of Belharza with predominately human traits? Lots of questions.
Date of the Battle of Red Mountain and related events[edit]
- The War of the First Council (aka War of the Red Mountain), Battle of Red Mountain, and disappearance of the Dwemer
- I can place Sun's Death (the first major eruption of Red Mountain and only other known aside from the Red Year of 4E 5 [and now the minor eruption in 2E 583]) in 1E 668 via Lore:The Nirnroot Missive and then link it to the Battle of Red Mountain via Lore:Five Songs of King Wulfharth (and to a lesser extent Lore:The Arcturian Heresy and Lore:Ruins of Kemel-Ze, the latter which links the destruction of a Dwemer city on Vvardenfell with an eruption, and since only one is known to have occurred in that period...). Lore:Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition/Morrowind also ties the rise of the Tribunal with the eruption.
- Cannot account for the conclusion of Lore:Dwemer Inquiries Vol I, which states events occurred in 1E 700 exactly.
- Still looking for a source that dates the events to "around 1E 700", the predominant date for the disappearance of the Dwemer in wiki articles. If that date did not originate from a document, then could it be from Morrowind/Oblivion character dialogue?
- Playing through the Ebonheart Pact content in ESO again, the loading screen for Iliath Temple states that the temple was converted to worship of the Tribunal in 1E 670. Since the Tribunal only came about at the end of the War of the First Council, this would mean that the war ended by 1E 670, not 1E 700 (which would support the idea of the war taking place entirely in 1E 668 and Sun's Death marking its end). Dwemer Inquiries Vol I looks like an outlier, and may be in error.
- Overall conclusion may or may not be supported by the book Lore:Poison Song, depending on its accuracy. The dates would support 1E 668, but I haven't yet looked into why the book is historically inaccurate.

The "Forgotten Interregnum"[edit]
Practically nothing is known or spoken of the 372 years between the fall of the Alessian Empire in 1E 2331 and the rise of the Second Empire in 1E 2703. Though nearly as long as the Interregnum of the Second Era, this period seems to have been all but forgotten. As the Interregnum was believed to be akin to an anarchic Dark Age prior to ESO's revelations that Tamriel was somewhat more stable during that time, perhaps these lost centuries actually were a Dark Age. Or maybe they were simply devoid of any noteworthy events.
