2920: The Last Year of the First Era

by Carlovac Townway

Volume 9 of a historical series about Vivec and the Empire

---

8 Rain's Hand, 2920

The Imperial City, Cyrodiil

A storm buffeted the windows of the Prince's bedchamber, bringing a smell of moist air to mix with the censors [sic] filled with burning incense and herbs.

"A letter has arrived from the Empress, your mother," said the courier. "Anxiously inquiring after your health."

"What frightened parents I have," laughed Prince Juilek from his bed.

"It is only natural for a mother to worry," said Savirien-Chorak, the Potentate's son.

"There is everything unnatural about my family, Akaviri. My exiled mother fears that my father will imagine me of being a traitor, covetous of the crown, and is having me poisoned," the Prince sank back into his pillow, annoyed. "The Emperor has insisted on me having a taster for all my meals as he does."

"There are many plots," agreed the Akaviri. "You have been abed for nearly three weeks with every healer in the Empire shuffling through like a slow ballroom dance. At least, all can see that you're getting stronger."

"Strong enough to lead the vanguard against Morrowind soon, I hope," said Juilek.
