Kastav was the second emperor of the Reman Dynasty. Details of his life and reign are scarce, other than some branding him as an incompetent ruler.[1] In 1E 2801, Kastav ordered the Dragonguard of Sky Haven Temple to seize hostages from Markarth and Hroldan to ensure that the jarls met their conscription quotas.[2] In 1E 2804, the Emperor cut off supplies to the temple when they refused to help suppress the Winterhold Rebellion.[2] In their stead, an Akaviri that was denied entry into the Dragonguard named Kalien was sent by Kastav to put down the rebellion.[2] Kalien sacked Winterhold, and Sky Haven Temple was placed under siege as the locals believed Kalien was a member of the Dragonguard.[2] In 1E 2804, Kastav was deposed due to his poor handling of the Winterhold Rebellion, and he was succeeded by Reman II, whose first notable endeavor was to negotiate a swift end to the Rebellion.[1][2]
After his disposition, he lived for several years in exile alongside his honor guard.[3] In 1E 2812, Kastav died in the Murkmire region of Black Marsh.[3] By the Fourth Era, a fort in the Winterhold region of Skyrim bore his name.[4]
