Istlod was the High King of Skyrim and Jarl of Haafingar during the late second century of the Fourth Era. He ruled for almost twenty-five years and was considered to be instrumental in keeping the province together during the Great War. When the White-Gold Concordat was signed between the Third Empire and the Aldmeri Dominion in 4E 176, Istlod was forced to make outlaws of all Blades agents residing in his province, in some accounts he is said to have formally placed bounties on their heads. Upon Istlod's death, the Moot formally named his son Torygg his successor.
