He was born 87 years ago; for 65 years he's ruled as Tamriel's Emperor, but for all these years he's never been the ruler of his own dreams. He has seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness, a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the third era and the final hours....of his life.
