Lore:Dragonfires

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

A ritual devised by Reman Cyrodiil to accompany the coronation of a new Emperor. The fires are relit whenever an heir ascends to the Ruby Throne. They are kept burning throughout his or her lifetime and represent the Covenant between the Cyrodiilic Empire and Akatosh. According to legend, they protect Nirn from Oblivion. The pedestal that serves as a byre may be found in the Temple of the One in the Imperial City, though there is no apparent connection between the ritual and the Alessian teachings.
