湮灭危机
湮灭危机
第3纪元433年，就在新的纪元来临之前，皇帝尤瑞尔·塞普汀七世遇害身亡，同时诸王护符也被摧毁。这导致了很多无法想象的后果，整个帝国面临崩溃，同时也永远改变了人类与众神之间的关系。
刺客先是在白金塔中试图袭击皇帝。在刀锋卫士的护卫下，皇帝逃向了地牢中的一间牢房，这里修有逃生的秘密通道。不知出于什么理由，皇帝特赦了这间牢房中的犯人。有人说当时皇帝认出了这名犯人是他儿时的伙伴，也有些人说这就是天命。无论如何，这名犯人注定要在帝国和泰姆瑞尔的历史上扮演重要的角色——而这一切的发生明显跟众神脱不了关系。
追踪而至的刺客从暗中突袭以迅雷般的速度除掉了刀锋卫士。最终杀死了皇帝。尤瑞尔·塞普汀七世临死前将诸王护符交到了这名犯人的手中，而后者竟然带着它穿过了泰姆瑞尔的地下通道得以逃出生天。
后来得知这次暗杀是一群称为破晓神教的魔教徒所为。（他们和同样有很大嫌疑的黑暗兄弟会相比有两大区别：首先，黑暗兄弟会都是单人行动，而非成群结队；其次，黑暗兄弟会是不会愚蠢到正面与帝国发生冲突的，那就相当于自取灭亡。这也意味着破晓神教自不量力的最终结局。）
诸王护符被辗转送到了科洛尔附近的维农修道院，被修道院的主持兼刀锋大师迦菲尔保留了下来。同时，这位犯人被委派去科瓦奇城找到一名隐居起来的叫马丁的牧师。而他并不知道，马丁其实是皇帝尤瑞尔·塞普汀七世的私生子，也是目前红宝石王座唯一的继承人了。而他是目前唯一拥有通过诸王护符启动泰姆瑞尔和湮灭大陆守护者能力的人，这样才能从破晓神教的阴谋中拯救世界。
当这名犯人到达科瓦奇的时候，发现当地正遭受着蜂拥而来的魔族入侵，而这些怪物来自刚刚打开不久的湮灭之门，自湮灭危机以来这些魔物已经席卷了整个帝国。他是如何将湮灭之门关闭的在历史上并无记录。当大门关闭之后，马丁和科瓦奇幸存下来的守卫者们击退了魔族。
作为拯救了科瓦奇的英雄，这名犯人带着马丁回到了维农修道院，但发现修道院被洗劫一空而诸王护符也被抢走了。迦菲尔大师幸存了下来，以当时的情形，三个人只得辗转到达了刀锋卫士的要塞凌云神殿。这座隐秘的堡垒位于布鲁玛外的群山之中，当这位科瓦奇的拯救者出去找到遗失的诸王护符的时候，马丁可以藏身于此以保安全。
由于已经确定是破晓神教策划了暗杀行动同时也抢走了诸王护符，科瓦奇的英雄被委派去找到这些杀手的藏身之处。在一位名叫包鲁斯的皇帝刀锋卫士的帮助下，他们使用了由狂人曼卡·卡莫兰制造的沙克斯密典注解，可以指引他们找到破晓神教的藏身之处。根据注解中的提示了解其中奥秘的学者表示指引的位置并没有直接提及破晓神教。不知道他们该如何解开这其中的奥秘。
没有官方记录显示这位元英雄是如何潜入阿里奥斯湖畔破晓神教的巢穴的。一个吟游诗人提到过英雄是通过高超的伪装和计策得以成功的，但这只是推测。后来发现原来曼卡·卡莫兰就是破晓神教幕后主使，而他们则崇拜魔族的梅鲁涅斯·大衮君主，他相信她就是臭名昭著的篡夺威木省统治权的篡位者卡莫兰的直系后裔。
英雄将藏于破晓神教巢穴中的神圣之书《沙克斯密典》带了出来，而曼卡·卡莫兰带着诸王护符逃到了湮灭。靠着坚强的意志和不断地冒险尝试，马丁破解了沙克斯密典，并尝试打开一道连接曼卡·卡莫兰的传送门以夺回诸王护符。
在马丁进行传送门仪式的时候，梅鲁涅斯·大衮在布鲁玛城外打开了湮灭之门，千钧一发之际，泰姆瑞尔的英雄在魔族大军摧毁布鲁玛城和凌云神殿前进入了湮灭之门并将其关闭，拯救了马丁和城中的人民。关于这场战斗的故事被广为流传在这里就不多述了。这位泰姆瑞尔的英雄同样也成为了布鲁玛城的救星。
城市和凌云神殿得以保全，马丁成功打开了通往曼卡·卡莫兰所谓的“天堂”的传送门。而这个地方到底是个什么景象并没有被记录下来。众所周知的则是布鲁玛城的英雄进入了这个地方，杀死了曼卡·卡莫兰，带回了诸王护符。
有诸王护符在手，马丁·塞普汀亲自来到了上古议会为了加冕成为泰姆瑞尔的皇帝，他计划在加冕之后就启动龙之火以关闭湮灭通往泰姆瑞尔的通路。为了对马丁进行最后的反击，梅鲁涅斯·大衮入侵泰姆瑞尔城，在这个首都中打开了多道湮灭之门。此时的这位无冕之王，也和士兵们一起加入了巷战。
梅鲁涅斯·大衮打破了契约，亲自从湮灭进入了泰姆瑞尔。而龙之火军团眼睁睁看着这一切发生，此时屏障已经被破坏，重新启动已经来不及了。马丁·塞普汀最终牺牲了他自己，他打碎了诸王护符变成了阿卡托什的化身，同梅鲁涅斯·大衮展开了大战。
关于这次战斗有多种版本流传，我们所知的就是梅鲁涅斯·大衮被打败并被赶回了湮灭之中。阿卡托什的化身随即变为石像，现在保存于泰姆瑞尔帝都城的一座神殿中。随着诸王护符的毁坏，龙之火也随之熄灭，唯一拥有龙裔的皇帝也死了，通向湮灭的大门则被永远的关闭了。
The Oblivion Crisis
The Oblivion Crisis
At the turning of the Fourth Age, in the year 3E 433, the Emperor Uriel Septim VII was assassinated and the Amulet of Kings was destroyed. This set in motion a chain of events that would bring down an empire and change forever the relationship between man and the gods.
The assassins first attacked the Emperor in the White Gold Tower. While the Blades held them back, the Emperor made his way down to the dungeons, to a secret escape route built into one of the prison cells. For reasons known only to himself, the Emperor pardoned the fortunate prisoner in that cell. Some say the prisoner reminded him of a childhood friend. Others say it was a moment of prophecy. Whatever the case, the prisoner came to play a fateful role in the history of the Empire and Tamriel - surely a sign that the gods themselves were at work.
The pursuing assassins killed the Blades bodyguards in a relentless series of sneak attacks. Eventually they struck down the Emperor himself. Before he fell, Uriel Septim VII gave the Amulet of Kings to the prisoner, who somehow made it out of the Imperial sewers and into the light of day.
The assassination is now known to have been the work of a group of daedric cultists known as the Mythic Dawn. (Those who still suspect the Dark Brotherhood should consider two facts: first, they would have only needed a single assassin, not a small army of them; second, the Dark Brotherhood would never be so foolish as to effectively declare war on the Empire and thus ensure their complete destruction. Witness the eventual fate of the Mythic Dawn.)
The Amulet of Kings next surfaced at Weynon Priory near Chorrol. Jauffre, secret Grandmaster of the Blades and head of the priory, took possession of the amulet. The messenger was sent off to Kvatch to find a lowly priest named Martin. Unbeknownst even to himself, Martin was the bastard son of Uriel Septim VII, and the last heir to the Ruby Throne. He alone could use the Amulet of Kings to light the Dragonfires that wards the barrier between Tamriel and Oblivion, and save the world from the Mythic Dawn plot.
The prisoner arrived at Kvatch to find it overrun by daedra that had poured in from a newly-opened Oblivion Gate, the start of the Empire-spanning devastation of the Oblivion Crisis. How the prisoner closed the gate is not recorded. Once closed, Martin and the surviving Kvatch guardsmen drove back the daedra.
Now known as the Hero of Kvatch, the prisoner and Martin returned to Weynon Priory, only to find the priory sacked and the Amulet taken. Jauffre survived the attack, however, and the three of them made their way to Cloud Ruler Temple, bastion of the Blades. This secret fortress in the mountains outside Bruma is where Martin was held safe while the Hero of Kvatch searched for the lost Amulet.
Knowing only that a mysterious group called the Mythic Dawn was behind the assassination and theft of the Amulet, the Hero of Kvatch was sent to locate the cult. With the help of Baurus, a Blade in the service of the Emperor, they somehow used the Commentaries on the Mysterium Xarxes, esoteric works by the madman Mankar Camoran, to direct them to the Mythic Dawn's secret lair. Scholars familiar with the Commentaries claim the location is not directly mentioned in them. How they did this remains a mystery.
No official records exist of how the Hero of Kvatch penetrated the Mythic Dawn's lair near Lake Arrius. There is a bardic tale that claims the Hero used trickery and disguise, but that is just speculation.What was discovered there is that Mankar Camoran was behind the Mythic Dawn, and that the group worshiped the daedric prince Mehrunes Dagon. Mankar Camoran believed himself to be a direct descendant of the Camoran Usurper, the infamous pretender to the throne of Valenwood.
Somehow the Hero escaped with the Mysterium Xarxes itself, the holy book of the Mythic Dawn cult. Mankar Camoran fled to Oblivion with the Amulet of Kings. With some effort and great risk to his sanity, Martin deciphered the Mysterium Xarxes and intended to use it to open a gateway to Mankar Camoran in order to recover the Amulet of Kings.
Before Martin could perform the ritual to open the gateway, Mehrunes Dagon opened an Oblivion Gate outside Bruma. The Hero of Kvatch saved the city and Martin by entering the gate and closing it before a daedric siege engine could destroy Bruma and Cloud Ruler Temple. Many songs and stories have been told of this battle and I will not retell them here. The Hero of Kvatch was now also known as the Savior of Bruma.
With the city and Cloud Ruler Temple safe, Martin opened the portal to Mankar Camoran's "Paradise". The details of what transpired in this place have not been recorded. All that is known is that the Savior of Bruma travelled to this Paradise, killed Mankar Camoran, and returned with the Amulet of Kings.
With the Amulet in hand, Martin Septim presented himself to the Elder Council to be crowned Emperor of all Tamriel. Once crowned he planned to relight the Dragonfires and seal Tamriel from Oblivion. In a last-ditch attempt to stop him, Mehrunes Dagon launched an assault on the Imperial City, opening several Oblivion Gates within the capital itself. Uncrowned, Martin joined the battle in the city streets.
Mehrunes Dagon himself left Oblivion and entered Tamriel, breaking the covenant. Only the unlit Dragonfires allowed this to be possible. Now that the barrier was ripped asunder, it was too late to relighting the Fires. Martin Septim chose to make the ultimate sacrifice - he shattered the Amulet of Kings to become the avatar of the god Akatosh and do battle with Mehrunes Dagon.
Records of this battle vary wildly. What we do know is that Mehrunes Dagon was defeated and sent back to Oblivion. The avatar of Akatosh was turned to stone and can be seen to this day in the Temple of the One in the Imperial City. With the Amulet gone, the Dragonfires quenched, and the last Dragonblood Emperor dead, the barrier to Oblivion is sealed forever.
