The Bloodfall Kingdom is a petty kingdom and a vassal of the Empire in Cyrodiil ruled by the gro-Batul family. By 4E 180, it had existed for at least three generations. The Kingdom was founded by Durak gro-Batul, the first Bloodfall King. King Durak was a very respected figure in the region. His son, Bazul gro-Batul, took over as regent in his stead when Durak went off to serve in the Great War. Bazul was not a popular ruler: executions for petty crimes became commonplace, and he was feared by many. When his father learned of this, he disinherited Bazul, and his granddaughter, Urzoga gra-Batul, was named as his successor. Urzoga, who was considered a far better alternative to Bazul, became the Queen when her grandfather died, six months after the Great War ended.
HistoryEdit
In the Fourth Era, a portion of Cyrodiil was under the direct control of the Bloodfall Kingdom. The town of Rivercrest fell under its jurisdiction. Queen Urzoga had to rely on mercenaries to defend the kingdom, as many of its actual soldiers died alongside her grandfather during the Great War. These mercenaries were hired to defend the Kingdom against bandits and other threats, and because of the expense, the Queen couldn't afford to have towns skipping out on paying their taxes. These mercenaries would be sent to collect the taxes, and against the Blood Queen's wishes, razed the town and destroyed a statue of the town's founder. This unleashed a powerful lich whose goal was to destroy the entire world. The Warrior aided the Queen by protecting her kingdom from bandits, Goblins, and other threats.
