Queen Elysana was the daughter of Queen Carolyna and King Eadwyre of Wayrest. Carolyna died in 3E 392, and a few years later, Eadwyre remarried. Queen Barenziah became Elysana's stepmother, and the princess gained elder step-siblings in Prince Helseth and Princess Morgiah.
In the years prior to the Miracle of Peace, the princess became locked in a power struggle with her stepbrother for the throne. The law of succession favored Elysana, but Helseth was now the eldest, and he (and Barenziah) held much influence. While Elysana cultivated an air of innocent vapidity, in reality she had become as ruthless as the prince; among her allies was the influential noble Lord Woodborne, to whom she was betrothed—and who held the key to an artifact of immense power.
This period saw the arrival of an agent of the Blades, sent to investigate the mysterious circumstances surrounding the death of King Lysandus of Daggerfall. The Agent was drawn into the siblings' machinations; Helseth hatched a scheme to blackmail Lord Castellian, head of the Elder Council, into changing the law of succession in his favor. Elysana retaliated by manipulating the same Agent into unwittingly helping her assassinate Lord Castellian. The princess later attempted to have the Agent assassinated as well, but this plan failed.
Elysana's plans for the throne were dealt another blow when Lord Woodborne was exposed by the Emperor's Agent as Lysandus' murderer, and killed. However, when King Eadwyre finally died in 3E 418 after the Warp in the West, Elysana emerged victorious.

His true nature shall be unknown to all who meet him. His identity shall be struck from all records and histories. Memory will hide in the shadows, refusing to record the name of the owner to any who meet him. He shall be known by the cowl and only by the cowl."
High King Emeric (2E 521 - ?d)Edit
High King Emeric of Wayrest (also known as Emeric of Cumberland or Emeric Cumberland) was a member of the Cumberland Dynasty in the Second Era, and one of the major faction leaders of the Three Banners War. He was pivotal to the founding of the first Daggerfall Covenant, a defensive pact among all of High Rock's kingdoms against foreign threats, established after Emeric slew Durcorach the "Black Drake" and helped fend off his onslaught of Reachmen raiders circa 2E 541. As king of Wayrest, Emeric built an alliance through marrying the daughter of King Fahara'jad of Sentinel, Princess Maraya. He gained another ally through a war treaty he made with King Kurog gro-Bagrakh, promising the return of Orsinium to the Orcs. Emeric's conflict with King Ranser of Shornhelm led to the alliances he previously established coming to his aid, and they joined him in the formation of the Greater Daggerfall Covenant after Emeric's victory.
Emeric was elevated to the position of High King for both High Rock and the multinational Greater Daggerfall Covenant circa 2E 567. He managed to claim this supreme leadership as a result of being the architect of the Greater Daggerfall Covenant, and after all the city-states of northwest Tamriel swore loyalty to the Covenant's Royal Council. Indeed, the negotiations ended after months of discussion thanks to Emeric's brainchild, made reality through "dozens of compromises and carefully negotiated provisions". Despite warfare between kingdoms accounting for much of the provinces' history, the various monarchs of High Rock were bound to him via trade agreements, and they came to see him as a trusted figure. Emeric was a merchant lord who advocated for free trade throughout Tamriel, and he competed against Queen Ayrenn of the Aldmeri Dominion and Jorunn the Skald-King of the Ebonheart Pact for the Ruby Throne, seeking to utilize its station so he may restore "the true flame of the Empire of Man".

He was raised by the shaman of her tribe, the Grilikamaug. At the age of fifteen, after completing his tribe's rite of ascension, Emmeg spent the next two years performing many noble deeds throughout High Rock.
Eventually, Sheogorath learned of his deeds, and tricked Emmeg into accepting his cursed blade of rage known as the Neb-Crescen, which later compelled him to brutally killed a young orc woman. Sheogorath then summoned Malacath on the site of the grisly murder and instigated his vengeance. Sheogorath offered to allow Malacath to remain to honor-kill the Orc, with his asking price being that he used the weapon of Sheogorath's choice to banish the murderer to the Shivering Isles. Malacath agreed. He manifested in the direction the killer was fleeing, and drew the blade, which further fueled his rage. The prince quickly crossed the distance, and cleanly lobbed Emmeg's head off his body, and what followed was a sudden silence. Seeing the severed head, Malacath realized what he had done; He had damned his biological son that to the realm of the Mad God. To further exacerbate the pain, Sheogorath came to the scene to claim the still sentient head of Emmeg and the Neb-Cresen. Malacath stayed behind and mourned as he heard the pleas of his son being carried off into the distance.[7]

Etra of the Many Spears (fl. before 2E 582)Edit
Etra of the Many Spears was a Naga hero of the Dead-Water tribe. According to tribal elders, his soul was older than the tribe itself and before he had even hatched his egg-minders could hear him crying out war-chants.
In life, he was a fearsome warrior who was said to have felled great trees and slain huge beasts. After defeating other warriors, he would often eat their hearts or claim their grave-stakes as a trophy, which he would store in a large stone vault known as the Tomb of Many Spears. When a great Voriplasm claimed his vault, a furious Etra fought a great battle with it. Etra was ultimately killed and the vault became his tomb. Over the years, many Dead-Water kaals attempted to raid the tomb and claim a piece of Etra's remains to forge a mighty weapon, but they all ended in failure.
In 2E 582, the Vestige ventured into Etra's tomb and defeated the remains of the Naga warrior in order to recover his grave-stake and learn more about the Remnant of Argon.

He sent for the Hero of Dawnstar to interrogate the champions, ordering Eustacia to provide healing for the soon-to-be Hero.

Eveli Sharp-Arrow (fl. 2E 582)Edit
Eveli Sharp-Arrow was a Bosmer adventurer active during the Interregnum who came from an extensive bloodline of hunter, scouts, and warriors. Her familial traditions predisposed her to becoming a great archer, as well as to how confidently she carried herself. Like all Bosmer of renown, she earned a byname which hinted at her great skill. At a young age, her bow was like an extension of her own body, and she was capable of quickly unloading her quiver and accurately hitting her intended targets. She was also very nimble, with one of her feats being distracting Mehrunes Dagon while subsequently dodging his massive axe and his fists. In her spare time, she enjoyed reading literature regardless of genre, though she had a soft spot for stories about adventures and mysteries. Her favorite literary figure was Investigator Vale. She had twelve siblings, a notable one was Beragon Sharp-Dagger, who was an adventurer and later a scribe in the court of Emperor Moricar.
The Exalted ViperEdit
The Exalted Viper was a short-lived Celestial created in 2E 582. She was intended to replace the Serpent, and thus shared identical aspects.
As a mortal, the Exalted Viper was an Imperial mage named Cassipia. When the constellations fell from the sky above Craglorn in 2E 582, the Serpent took form as a Celestial and began a cult called the Scaled Court. Attracted by his rhetorical goals of shedding corruption from the world, Cassipia left the Mages Guild and was appointed Regent of Serpentine Stratagems within the Court. However, she soon discovered that the Serpent's plans involved destroying civilization to restore Nirn to a primal state. Along with her Bosmer companion Little Leaf, Cassipia secretly defected from the Scaled Court and began plotting to usurp the Serpent's place in the sky by becoming a Celestial of equal power.
Aided by Little Leaf and the Vestige, Regent Cassipia used her authority to steal and disrupt the Court's research on nirncrux. She learned how the ancient Nedes first created Celestials and how the Court were creating mantikoras, as well as how the Iron Orcs were imbuing iron and flesh with nirncrux. Her efforts crippled the Serpent's attempt at raising an army in Upper Craglorn in the process, although her treachery went undiscovered and she retreated to Skyreach Temple with her followers to begin the transformation.
Kelmen Locke, an old acquaintance of Cassipia's, attempted to dissuade her from performing the ritual, but instead was killed. His death brought the Thief's attention to her plans, and she journeyed to Skyreach Temple with the Vestige to prevent the creation of the Exalted Viper. Although the ritual had been interrupted, the death of Little Leaf triggered Cassipia's transformation, and the Exalted Viper was born in battle. However, she was promptly slain in her mortal form.

Excoraeus Tharn was an Imperial member of the royal House Tharn of Cheydinhal, ancestor and descendant of numerous famous figures.. He served under Emperor Kastav as the Minister of Punition. The exact years of service are unknown, but he had to serve at some point between the coronation of Kastav in 1E 2762 and 1E 2804 when his reign ended.
