The Nords refer to these raiders as reavers. ![]() They spend most of their time at sea, journeying from the far north on their ships to raid the coasts of northern Tamriel. The people who inhabit the Sea of Ghosts are known as out-islanders. Under his reign, the island had been used to further chart the sea's mysterious waters. After marrying the Queen Macalla of Dawnstar, King Thian held a majority of control of Skyrim's northern coast. The history of the territory is unknown, however, it was later claimed by the Kingdom of Solitude in the late years of the Third Era, in 3E 432, to further expand their power. Roscrea is found off the coast of Solitude and it was converted into an Imperial fiefdom. In 3E 271, Emperor Uriel Septim V explored the Sea of Ghosts and conquered the island of Roscrea, as of his several campaigns to expand the Empire. As history knows it, the Akaviri were defeated and gave rise to the Ebonheart Pact. From there, his armies traveled southeast into the region of Stonefalls in Morrowind. Here, Dir-Kamal's forces sacked the city, killing the High Queen of East Skyrim, Mabjaarn Flame-Hair, and her shortly-lived successor, Nurnhilde. This invasion led by Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal traveled across the Sea of Ghosts, bypassing Solstheim, the Telvanni Peninsula, and Vvardenfell, only to land on the shores of Windhelm. In any case, the Second Akaviri Invasion rarely took place in Skyrim's coast. In case of another threat, Reman I built strongholds across Skyrim's north coast as his bulwark. By 1E 2703, General Reman defeated the Tsaesci and established the Second Empire. The First Akaviri Invasion landed on the north coast of both Skyrim and Morrowind, cutting a bloody swathe all the way to the Pale Pass in the Jerall Mountains. There have been two instances where the Akaviri of the eponymous Akavir have invaded Tamriel, both of which arrived on the continent's shores the same way. The island was left abandoned following the defeat of the Gray Host circa 1E 1029. Īn army of vampires and lycanthropes known as the Gray Host once occupied a castle on the remote island of Grayhome in the Sea of Ghosts. They have extensive ties with the Court of Solitude. They later attained the title of Barony from Empress Hestra of the First Empire, and became a prominent power in the Kingdom of Rivenspire. As time went on, Yric Flowdys adopted the name of the mountain as his family name, House Dorell. ![]() The deep waters were able to accommodate large merchant ships, and on the northernmost point, Flowdys built the town of Northpoint. That was when the Breton entrepreneur, Yric Flowdys discovered shores for an ideal harbor at the base of Dore Elard in the 9th century of the First Era. The cities of Daggerfall and Solitude maintained a summer route, with no waypoint between each location. As time went on, more Nordic cities were built along the coastline, such as Dawnstar, Solitude, and Winterhold. This city of kings, Windhelm, was made to have Yngol Barrow viewable from the castle. Ysgramor looked to the south and decided to have a great city built near the estuary. Yngol's body was recovered by Ysgramor and buried in a traditional Atmoran barrow on the White River estuary, where it meets the Sea of Ghosts. In legend, it is said that Yngol was claimed by the "Sea-Ghosts". ![]() Outraged by their betrayal, Ysgramor and his Five Hundred Companions sailed back to Tamriel, however, their fleet was caught in the Storm of Separation and the Harbinger's eldest son, Yngol, was killed in the raging storm in the Atmoran Strait. However, the Snow Elves sacked the city and drove the Atmorans out of Tamriel in an event known as the Night of Tears. They landed on Hsaarik Head, where they built the colossal city of Saarthal and met the Snow Elves. In the late Merethic Era, Ysgramor the Harbinger and the Atmorans sailed across the Sea of Ghosts from the port city of Jylkurfyk when civil war broke out on the northern continent. But these towers were eventually abandoned as the High Velothi Culture, and the early Chimer began to establish the Great Houses and the Ashlander Tribes. Aldmeri explorers mapped the island of Vvardenfell, building several wizards towers along the coast, specifically in Ald Redaynia, Bal Fell, Tel Aruhn, and Tel Mora. The most well-known was Topal the Pilot, who explored all of Tamriel's coast, but most notably the Niben River. In the mid- Merethic Era, Aldmeri explorers sailed across Tamriel, charting the continent's waterways and sea lanes.
