[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim I (?b - 3E 64)

Son of Empress Kintyra, Uriel I became the Fourth Emperor of Tamriel after his mother's death in 3E 48. Uriel was the first of several emperors to use the name Uriel. The Emperor Uriel I was the great lawmaker of the Septim Dynasty, and a promoter of independent organizations and guilds. Under his kind hand, the Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild increased in prominence throughout Tamriel.

[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim II (?b - 3E 82)

Uriel II became the Fifth Emperor of Tamriel after the death of Uriel I in 3E 64. Tragically, the rule of Uriel II was cursed with blights, plagues, and insurrections. His tenderheartedness inherited from his father did not serve Tamriel well, and little justice was done. Uriel II died in 3E 82 after 18 years of rule and is succeeded by his son, Pelagius II.

[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim III (Uriel Mantiarco) (?b - 3E 127)

Uriel III is the first cousin of Empress Kintyra II and son of Queen Potema of Solitude. Uriel III accused Kintyra of being a bastard, alluding to the famous decadence of the Imperial City during her father's reign. When this accusation failed to stop her coronation, Uriel bought the support of several disgruntled kings of High Rock, Skyrim, and Morrowind, and, with Queen Potema's assistance, coordinated three attacks on the Septim Empire. The first attack occured in the Iliac Bay that separates High Rock and Hammerfell. Kintyra II's entourage was destroyed and the Empress was taken captive. Uriel III later killed Kintyra II in 3E 114.

Uriel III was eventually proclaimed King of Tamriel in 3E 121. Queen Kintyra II had been killed several years ago while in prison and the battle between the empire and Uriel III with his alliance of unhappy kingdoms of High Rock. Skyrim, Morrowind and Queen Potema. In the third major and final attack against the Imperial City itself was relatively quick taking only a fortnight to secure. At this time Uriel III proclaimed himself Emperor of Tamriel. He improperly named himself Uriel Septim III even though his true name was Uriel Mantiarco from his father.

Uriel III was captured at the Battle of Ichidag in Hammerfell in 3E 127. En route to his trial in the Imperial City, a mob overtook his carriage and burned him alive within it.

[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim IV (Uriel Lariat) (?b - 3E 247)

Uriel Lariat, child of Atariah I and her Imperial consort Lariat, left Wayrest in 3E 202 to reign as Uriel IV upon the death of his half-brother, Cassynder. Legally, Uriel IV was a Septim: Cassynder had adopted him into the family, when he had become King of Wayrest. Nevertheless, to the Council and the people of Tamriel, he was a bastard child of Empress Katariah. Uriel did not possess the dynamism of his mother, and his long forty-three year reign was a hotbed of sedition. Uriel IV's reign was difficult and long one. Despite being a legally adopted member of the Septim family, and despite the Lariat family's high position -- indeed, they were distant cousins of the Septims -- few of the Elder Council could be persuaded to accept him fully as a blood relation of Tiber. The Council had assumed much responsibility during Katariah I's long reign and Cassynder I's short reign, and a strong-willed alien monarch like Uriel IV found it impossible to hold their unswerving fealty. Time and time again, the Council and Emperor were at odds; and time and time again, the Council won the battles. Since the days of Pelagius II, the Elder Council had consisted of the wealthiest men and women in the Empire, and the power they wielded was ultimate.

Uriel IV died in 3E 247 with the throne going to a cousin more closely related to Tiber Septim, Cephorus II.

[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim V (?b - 3E 290)

Uriel V was crowned Emperor in 3E 268 and turned opinion back toward the potential power of the Empire. Turning the attention of Tamriel away from internal strife, Uriel V embarked on a series of invasions beginning almost In 3E 276, Cathnoquey is conquered, 3E 279 Yneslea and in 3E 284 Esroniet. In 3E 288 Uriel V invades Akavir which was ultimately a failure. He was killed in Akavir in 3E 290 on the battlefield of Ionith. Nevertheless, Uriel V holds a reputation second only to Tiber Septim as the great warrior emperor of Tamriel. Uriel V was succeeded by his son, Uriel VI.

[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim VI (3E 285 - 3E 320)

Uriel VI was crowned when his father, Uriel V, is killed in Akavir on the battlefield of Ionith in 3E 290 when Uriel VI was but five years old. In fact, Uriel VI was born only shortly before his father left for Akavir. Uriel V's only other progeny, by a different woman, were the twins Morihatha and Eloisa, who had been born a month after Uriel V left. The consort Thonica as the boy's mother was given a restricted Regency until Uriel VI reached maturity. The Council retained the real power, as they had ever since the days of Katariah I. The Council so enjoyed its unlimited and unrestricted freedom to make laws (and profits), Uriel VI was not given full license to rule until 3E 307, when he was 22 years old. He had been slowly assuming positions of responsibility for years, but both the Council and his mother, who enjoyed even her limited regency, were loath to give him reign. By the time he came to the throne, the mechanisms of government gave him little power, but the power to veto.

Uriel VI's power to veto was regularly exercised and by 3E 313 he could boast with conviction that he truly did rule Tamriel. He utilized defunct spy networks and guard units to bully and coerce the difficult members of the Elder Council. His sister was his usual ally, after her marriage to Baron Ulfe Gersen of Winterhold brought her considerable wealth and influence. As the sage Ugaridge said, Uriel V conquered Esroniet, but Uriel VI conquered the Elder Council.

Uriel VI died in 3E 320 when he fell from his horse and could not be saved by the finest Imperial healers. His beloved sister Morihatha took the throne.

[edit] Emperor Uriel Septim VII (3E 346 - 3E 433)

When Pelagius IV died in 3E 388, after an astonishing forty-nine year reign, Tamriel was closer to unity than it had been since the days of Uriel I. Uriel Septim VII, son of Pelagius IV, has the diligence of his great aunt Morihatha, the political skill of his great uncle Uriel VI, and the military prowess of his great-grand-uncle Uriel V. For twenty-one years he reigned and brought justice and order to Tamriel.

Uriel VII was betrayed by the imperial battlemage Jagar Tharn and was imprisoned in a dimension of Tharn's creation in 3E 389. Tharn used his magic of illusion to assume the Emperor's aspect. For the next ten years, Tharn used Imperial privileges, but did not continue Uriel VII's schedule of reconquest. It is not entirely known yet what Tharn's goals and personal accomplishments were during the ten years he imitated his liege lord.

Tharn was eventually defeated in 3E 399 by an unnamed hero who freed Uriel VII from his other dimensional cell. Since his release, Uriel VII has worked diligently to renew the battle to reunite Tamriel. Tharn's interference broke the momentum, but the years since then have proven that the glorious golden age of Tiber Septim may be visited on Tamriel once again.

In 3E 433, Uriel VII and his heirs were assassinated by the Mythic Dawn, a Daedric Cult. This left only an illegitimate son of Uriel VII named Martin Septim to claim the throne.
