"Each event is preceded by Prophecy. But without the hero, there is no Event." - Zurin Arctus, the Underking

A Hero is a mortal blessed (and cursed, from another point of view) with a special fate and the ability to rule his or her own destiny. Heroes are closely related with the Elder Scrolls. They often grow to become far more powerful than most other mortals.

[edit] Known heroes

• The Hero of Arena (better known as the Eternal Champion)
• The Hero of Daggerfall
• The Hero of Battlespire
• The Hero of Morrowind (better known as the Nerevarine and the Bloodskaal)
• The Hero of Oblivion (better known as the Champion of Cyrodiil, Divine Crusader, and Madgod of the Shivering Isles)

[edit] Sources of information

• Oblivion in-game text messages at Doomstones ("Stirred by a special fate, you choose your own destiny")
• Remarks by Dyus and Jyggalag state that the fate of the Hero of Oblivion is blurred and uncertain, and he defies all their logical formulas.
