The Great kings of the Crestmer |
|
Silus, the first king and soveriegn of the Crestmer was swift to act
after the Shattering of th orb and the fall of Aldmeris. He rallied the
Aldmer most loyal to the old ways and led them to the tall spires of
the city, which had been seen by none but the ancient kings of
Aldmeris. Once there he had them gather all the Tapestries and
writtings. He Raided the Sacred Keep and slaughtered the guards who
still manned their posts, even in the turmoil, and took the legendary
artifacts of the Aldmer. Using these sparingly, he killed all who
opposed him in his conquest of the heartland, but he was not an evil
man. He enforced strict fair law and built anew. It is said he followed
the old plans for the city of aldmeris, but none remember the original
layout, os it is impossible to determine its validity. He would die in
the second war with the drethmer when it was declared that the prince
had survived, and fled into the sewers with the others. This enraged
the Crestmer, for they declared the prince could never be such a coward
and that he died valiantly in battle with the Raiders in the early days
of the fall.

Great lore, but I had a few questions, is this referring to the
tranformation from Aldmer to Cresmer?. Also, what city are the unseen
spires in? What is this Orb? And when you mentioned the conquest of the
Heartland, were you referring to Aldcarpio, so that was when the
Cresmer began to inhabit Aldcarpio. Sorry, I just get confused a little
easy.

All good questions. This is the aldmer that formed into a group, and
would evolve into the crestmer, I refer to crestmer and drethmer, but
they are all still Aldmer at this point. The orb was the object that
powered aldmeris and pushed back the sea line when it shattered.

How did it fall, and what was the exodus? I'm not that great on lore here yet
I guess now there are a bunch of cities spread around the continent. Maybe there can be a ruins of Aldmeris somewhere.

Yup, we already plan to have them throughout the continent. The exodus
was the mer comming to Tamriel, (in the elsweyr mod this didn't happen,
just so we are clear) The fall of the city had many causes, some
shrouded in mystery, others more obvious.

Sorry, another question, I got completely lost in this section: "He
would die in the second war with the drethmer when it was declared that
the prince had survived, and fled into the sewers with the others. This
enraged the Crestmer, for they declared the prince could never be such
a coward and that he died valiantly in battle with the Raiders in the
early days of the fall." What was the first war between the Cres and
Dreth? Also, were they evolved completely into the current race form in
any of these two wars? And who is this Prince?

This is before the evolution, they refer to the prince of aldmeris, and the first war is not yet in lore.

Is the second war during the destruction of the city, because if it
was, that would mean the first war couldn't really be the Cres vs.
Dreth, because it would be before the destruction, which would mean the
races wouldn't have even divided yet. The only there could really be
two wars is if the destruction went on for several years.

No, the second war was after he had built an independant city for them, since he died in it.

So the second war was after Silius had built a Crestmer city. Therefore
that would mean cities were being built while the endless one was being
destroyed.

So the second war wasn't during the destruction of the endless city?

No, it was post fall.
The first war perhaps should happen durring the fall of the city? No... The Crestmer only started to hate them after the fall.

They are in conflict over that, the crestmer say he died fighting looters in aldmeris.
