The [[Lore:Interregnum|Interregnum]] was a period in Tamriel's history between the end of the [[Lore:Second Empire|Second Empire]] and the proclamation of the [[Lore:Third Empire|Third Empire]] by [[Lore:Tiber Septim|Tiber Septim]]. It began when the last of the [[Lore:Akaviri Potentate|Akaviri Potentates]], [[Lore:Savirien-Chorak|Savirien-Chorak]], and all of his heirs were murdered by the [[Lore:Dark Brotherhood|Dark Brotherhood]] in {{Year|2E 430}}.{{Ref|name=BoD|{{Cite book|The Brothers of Darkness}}}} The collapse of central authority led to five centuries of bickering between racial alliances, small kingdoms, and petty states.{{Ref|name=PGE1C|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Cyrodiil}}}} During this time, the [[Lore:Empire of Cyrodiil (Interregnum)|Empire of Cyrodiil]] existed by name only, and was confined to the region of [[Lore:Cyrodiil|Cyrodiil]] alone.
The Interregnum was marked by a general decline in living standards across Tamriel. A note in one tale from the era goes so far as to call the prevailing attitude one of "anti-intellectualism",{{Ref|name=SotA|{{Cite book|Song of the Alchemists}}}} another source talks of the "dark and cumulative losses" of the period,{{Ref|name=PGE3AS|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Arena Supermundus}}}} and a third describes the period as "days and nights of blood and venom".{{Ref|name=BHotE|{{Cite book|Brief History of the Empire}}}} A further sign of intellectual decline was the transformation of the [[Lore:Dwemer|Dwemer]] in popular culture from a mysterious and unfathomable race to a mere vehicle for light comedies and romances.{{Ref|name=SotA}}{{Ref|{{Cite book|The Ransom of Zarek}}}} Additionally, roads and cities fell into ruin and were not repaired until centuries later.{{Ref|name=PGE1C}} Even the famed [[Lore:Amulet of Kings|Amulet of Kings]] was lost.{{Ref|{{Cite book|The Amulet of Kings}}}}
Some regions and organizations found the period full of opportunities.

However in {{Year|2E 541}}, an invasion of [[Lore:Reachmen|Reachmen]] under the command of [[Lore:Durcorach|Durcorach]] swept through the kingdoms of High Rock, ultimately resulting in the signing of the first [[Lore:Daggerfall Covenant|Daggerfall Covenant]]. United, the new Covenant was strong enough to repulse and destroy Durcorach's Horde, while a strategic alliance with [[Lore:Hammerfell|Hammerfell]] and the promise to restore [[Lore:Orsinium|Orsinium]] as sovereign territory cemented the political longevity of the Covenant under the tactful leadership of [[Lore:Emeric|High King Emeric]].{{Ref|name=ToaM|{{Cite book|Triumphs of a Monarch}}}} Meanwhile, a similar threat appeared to northeastern Tamriel, as an [[Lore:Akavir|Akavir]]i invasion in {{Year|2E 572}} under the command of [[Lore:Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal|Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal]] ravaged the lands of [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]] and [[Lore:Morrowind|Morrowind]]. After a long-fought battle and the aid of [[Lore:Argonian|Argonian]] reinforcements, the [[Lore:Ebonheart Pact|Ebonheart Pact]] was formed, creating an alliance between the previous Imperial Provinces of Skyrim, Morrowind and [[Lore:Black Marsh|Black Marsh]].{{ref|name=GttEP|{{Cite book|Guide to the Ebonheart Pact}}}} Despite the tensions between the races, the threat of the now corrupt Imperial rule in Cyrodiil maintained the necessity of the Pact to secure their homelands from foreign occupation. In [[Lore:Alinor (city)|Alinor]], the well-traveled High Elf [[Lore:Ayrenn|Ayrenn]] emerged to the throne of the [[Lore:Summerset Isles|Summerset Isles]] in {{Year|2E 580}}.{{ref|name=ATUQ|{{Cite book|Ayrenn: The Unforeseen Queen}}}} Conveniently, the nearby provinces of [[Lore:Valenwood|Valenwood]] and [[Lore:Elsweyr|Elsweyr]] sought allies against an increasingly chaotic rule in Cyrodiil, thus joining Queen Ayrenn in the first [[Lore:Aldmeri Dominion|Aldmeri Dominion]].
In the heartlands of Cyrodiil, [[Lore:Varen Aquilarios|Varen Aquilarios]] of Chorrol led an uprising against the Emperor Leovic, grandson of Durcorach, after Daedric worship was legalized in the Empire. Leovic was subsequently executed by Varen himself, who then set out on a quest with [[Lore:Five Companions|four companions]] to recover the lost Amulet of Kings.{{ref|name=EfEV|{{Cite book|Eulogy for Emperor Varen}}}}{{ref|name=CotFC|{{Cite book|Chronicles of the Five Companions}}}} Secretly, Varen was fearful that his lack of being [[Lore:Dragonborn|Dragonborn]] would ultimately lead to his demise as he thought he was an imposter for not being one of the Dragon Blood. The [[Lore:Altmer|Altmer]] Sorcerer [[Lore:Mannimarco|Mannimarco]] persuaded Varen that he knew how to perform a ritual with the newly found Amulet of Kings which he assured would give Varen his much sought-after title of Dragonborn. However, Varen was unknowingly tricked into breaking [[Lore:Alessia|Alessia]]'s divine covenant with [[Lore:Akatosh|Akatosh]], and thereby destroying the ancient barrier between Nirn and Oblivion in an event known as the [[Lore:Soulburst|Soulburst]]. With Varen now missing, Mannimarco began ushering in his true master, Molag Bal, who planned to draw all of Tamriel into Coldharbour in an event that the Elder Scrolls call the [[Lore:Planemeld|Planemeld]].{{ref|name=ESO|Events of [[Online:Online|Elder Scrolls Online]]}} Clivia Tharn, in Varen's absence, became Empress Regent and allied with Mannimarco, but her father Abnur despised the sorcerer, leading to a split in the family and Abnur's subsequent capture. With this, the Empire crumbled into a state of disarray as corruption ran rampant and Dark Anchors began to appear in the skies across Tamriel. In {{Year|2E 582}}, with Imperial Power crumbling, the Daggerfall Covenant, Aldmeri Dominion and Ebonheart Pact vied for control of the White-Gold Tower in the [[Lore:Three Banners War|Three Banners War]], in an effort to destroy the faltering Empire and restore peace and prosperity to Tamriel.{{ref|name=ESO}}
During the entirety of Interregnum, petty warlords had attempted to seize control of Cyrodiil's capital and to reestablish the Empire. None of them lasted for long,{{Ref|name=PGE1E|{{Cite book|PGE|1|The Elsweyr Confederacy}}}} until, in the year {{Year|2E 852}} the king of Falkreath, [[Lore:Cuhlecain|Cuhlecain]], sought to proclaim himself "Emperor of All Cyrodiil".
