State of the Empire 6E 610

The sun shines dutifully on the Seventh Empire of Tamriel in its Third Glorious Dynasty within the Sixth Era. The scholar Telmyrus Javer hails Her Imperious Majesty, Empress Telvanni Teori III, Prime Lady of the Saarthal Province, Highest Councillor of the Telvanni Trade Conglomerate, General-in-Chief of the Submarine Legion, Overseer-Diplomat of the Petty Kingdoms of Anequina and Pelletine, High Priest of the Newest Tribunal, Heir to the Solstheim Feudal Metropolis, et cetera to present to Her Imperious Majesty his report on the state of the Empire’s Vast Expanse in the current Six-Hundred-and-Tenth year.

Proper Provinces

The Cirod Province is still under the Empire’s full control, and the Imperial City grows in every aspect with each year. Peaceful times abound here, as is usual.

The Saarthal Province is continuing to undergo land recovery and construction of dykes after the Tectonic Shift which caused most of the previous province of Skyrim to sink under the ocean. The city of Saarthal itself remains a powerhouse in research and magitechnology.

The Resdayn Province remains a strong territory of the Empire. Geothermal plants at Red Mountain and other volcanic spots provide a large percentage of the power used throughout the Empire. In addition, many genetomagickal sites are being built here after those in Skyrim were destroyed.

The Argony Province has experienced unrest in the recent year. The population has uprisen against corporate institutions commonly believed to be exploiting natives, which has been vehemently denied by the respective corporations. Thus the province is not currently useful to the Empire, as shipments to and fro’ are being hijacked by natives.

The Niben Province continues to grow in importance as a cultural centre. Again, being a central province leaves it without much issue of conflict.

The Valenwood Province is prospering from the sale of their treasured and plentiful lumber to other, less forested, regions. The Green Pact is still technically in effect, so purchase of this wood is somewhat complicated.

The Skyrim Province still exists in small bits of island where the tallest mountains in the region once stood. This isn’t conducive to a very productive economy or productivity in general, so it does not provide much of worth to the Empire. Some genetically-altered populations of men and mer live under the water, leading the area to be popularly called “Searim”.

The Colovy Province is relatively uncivilized in comparison to other places such as the Niben, Saarthal and Cirod Provinces. However, its citizens make for good soldiers when using traditional weaponry.

Non-Empire States

The Petty Kingdoms of Anequina and Pelletine remain non-provincial as your Prediction of desertification is still in effect. The area has been sealed off for scientific purposes.

Alinor remains foolishly rebellious against our rule. Battles occur with great frequency in the seas between the isles and the Colovian coast. They dare not fire in the waters around Valenwood and the other southern coasts, for their trade routes from Akavir traverse them.

The Grand Union of Daggerfall remains a close ally despite unfortunately denying provinciality. They commonly export mercenary forces, seafaring vessels and precious metals. Locals are predicting that an issue in the line of succession will arise soon.
