Tamriel:Barenziah

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995

Barenziah is Queen of Wayrest and Queen Mother of Morrowind. She was born in Morrowind in 2E 893. She is the wife of Symmachus and Eadwyre. With Symmachus, she is the mother of King Hlaalu Helseth (in 3E 376), who is the current king of Morrowind, and Morgiah (in 3E 384). She had a third child (with Nightingale, a.k.a., Jagar Tharn), but the current whereabouts of her third child are unknown. Barenziah also had a 'miscarriage' after becoming pregnant by Tiber Septim.

During the chaos of the Arnesian War in 3E 396, Symmachus was slain, and Queen Barenziah, rightly fearing for her life, fled across the Empire to the High Rock kingdom of Wayrest. The Queen abdicated her throne of Morrowind, leaving it to her uncle Athyn Llethan, a House Hlaalu noble.
