jan 4, 572 - The Ebonheart Pact is formed during the fight against the Akaviri.
Description:
The Ebonheart Pact
__________________________
Founded in the midst of the Akaviri Invasion of 2E 572, the territory of the Ebonheart Pact stretches over the provinces of Skyrim, Morrowind and Black Marsh at the height of its power. Its capital is the city of Mournhold, located on the mainland of Morrowind, the homeland of the Dunmer, though the faction is led by a Nord nobleman known as Jorunn the Skald-King.
Recognizing the regrouped Nords as the primary threat to their expedition in Tamriel, the invading Akaviri opted to avoid a second confrontation and marched directly for Morrowind, gambling the Nords would ignore them once they moved beyond Skyrim's borders. Jorunn's men, however, pursued the Akaviri across the Velothi Mountains and forcibly pushed them into Morrowind.
The Akaviri army was met by a Dunmer army led by the Tribunal Almalexia outside Ebonheart in the Stonefalls region. As the invaders engaged the Dunmer army, the Nords fell upon the Akaviri from the rear, but the invaders still outnumbered their foes. Suddenly, an Argonian army arrived from the south, led by a female Argonian named Heita-Meen, who had been shown the battle in a dream weeks before by the Hist and gathered an army to meet them.
Surrounded on three sides, the Akaviri were forced north into the sea. There they either fell in combat or drowned as they fled into the water. This victory over the Akaviri forces played a crucial role in the creation of the Ebonheart Pact.
Following the Akaviri defeat, the Nords, Dunmer and Argonians formed the Great Moot. The three cultures henceforth struck as a single army, ultimately repelling the entire invasion of the Akaviri slavemasters.
One of the most politically unstable but militaristically among the most powerful alliances of Tamrielic history, the three cultures that comprise the Ebonheart Pact shared a great distrust for each other, only holding allegiance to one another because of a common desire to defeat the Empire and preserve their homelands' independence.
