Show notes

Today we’re taking a look at one of the most influential and yet obscure characters in the Elder Scrolls lore.

Today on Written in Uncertainty we’re looking at something that drives both the lore and the games, that is based on the very structure of Tamriel itself. It’s driven pretty much every major war on the continent, and also, paradoxically, has brought it peace. Today we’re asking, why does Tamriel need an Empire?
