The Merethic Era unfolds in all its terrible glory—the age of the Ayleids. Sorcerer-Kings sit upon crystalline thrones, their authority forged from star-born Dawn Magic and whispered pacts with Daedric Lords. For them, morality is a fiction; power is the only truth. They are beings of light—skin like gilded armor, hair like fresh-fallen snow—who have sculpted Cyrodiil and Tamriel into a playground of towering spires and sunken labyrinths. Yet their radiance is built on cruelty. They are enslavers, masters of Argonians, Khajiit, and humans, whose torment is refined into public spectacle: torture-art, beast-games, and screaming wheels that turn in the heart of city-states like Whendelbeck and Delodil.
