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.

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.[14]

Eustacia (fl. ~3E 427)[edit]
Eustacia was a healer and seer in Dawnstar. The governor at the time, Cyril Vinticae, had banished his four champions, as one among them was secretly a traitor who had set the Ice Tribes upon their raid of the town. He sent for the Hero of Dawnstar to interrogate the champions, ordering Eustacia to provide healing for the soon-to-be Hero. Her oracular visions pertaining to the raid also proved vital to the Hero, providing crucial information that allowed the Hero to cut through the lies and reveal the traitor.[33][34]
Evandene Tusk Collector (fl. 1E 10th century)[edit]
Evandene Tusk Collector was a Reachfolk leader of the Winterborn clan during the tenth century of the First Era. She was the mother of Mercedene, the Beast of the Reach, and a distant ancestor of several members of the Winterborn clan as of 2E 582.
Eveli Sharp-Arrow (fl. 2E 582)[edit]
Eveli Sharp-Arrow is a Bosmer adventurer active during the Interregnum who comes from an extensive bloodline of hunter, scouts, and warriors. Her familial traditions have predisposed her to becoming a great archer, as well as to how confidently she carries herself. Like all Bosmer of renown, she has earned a byname which hints at her great skill. At a young age, her bow was essentially like an extension of her own body, and she was capable of quickly unloading her quiver and accurately hit her intended targets. She is 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 enjoys reading literature regardless of genre, though she has a soft spot for stories about adventures and mysteries. Her favorite literary figure is Investigator Vale. She has twelve siblings, a notable one which is Beragon Sharp-Dagger, who was an adventerur and later a scribe in the court of Emperor Moricar.
The Exalted Viper[edit]
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.
Minister of Punition Excoraeus Tharn (fl. late 1E)[edit]
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.
