[edit] Cyrodiilic Empire and Tamriel

Doesn't Oblivion say that Tiber Septim proclaimed himself emperor in 2E 846, probably as emperor of Cyrodiil and not the entire Tamriel. - October 30, 2007 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 213.67.204.252 (talk • contribs).

The line from Oblivion is:

Uriel Septim is a direct descendent of Tiber Septim, who conquered all of Cyrodiil and proclaimed himself Emperor in 2E846.

That is the only line in Oblivion making reference to 2E846. My guess is that it's a typo and is supposed to read 2E896, which based on Brief History of the Empire is when Tiber/Talos became emperor. There are multiple other sources which state that even after 2E846, Talos was still just a general under Emperor Cuhlecain (for example, The Legendary Sancre Tor, Battle of Sancre Tor). --Nephele^Talk 14:58, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

[edit] New Date

Apophis2412, changes to the wiki do not require approval from admins. You've provided an accurate source for the information, meaning it was easy to find and verify, and so there's absolutely no problem with it going on the article. This is a good example of how easy this can be so thank you. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 13:34, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

I know that I do not need administrator approval to change wiki's. I only waited with editing the other pages that mention the wrong date, because I wanted to know if there were any objections to me changing the date~from other members. Apophis2412 13:50, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

Sorry.... I just saw the "I will update the rest of the appropiate pages when the administrators agree with this change" part of your edit summary and posted a clarification. Please, go ahead and change anything else you find with the old date because - as you have demonstrated - it's clearly wrong. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 16:29, 2 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Morrowind an island?

"2E 572 — The Akaviri invaders of Morrowind were defeated. The Akaviri invaders were killed when the island mysteriously became flooded. Despite the extensive flooding, almost no Dunmer people were injured or killed. Rumor has it that the god Vivec taught the Dunmeri to breathe water and flooded the island."

If the invading forces landed at and were also defeated on the island of Vvardenfell, it is certainly unclear. At the minute, it appears to be implying that the whole province is detached from mainland Tamriel. I won't make the edit, as I am unsure of the details regarding the invasion, and would hate to get it wrong.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 92.23.88.89 (talk • contribs) on 00:48, 6 October 2009.

You're correct. Other sources imply that entire Morrowind was flooded, so I changed the world "island" to "land". Thanks for pointing this out! --Timenn-<talk> 11:36, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
