Lore:Host of the Horn

The Host of the Horn is the official military force of Lainlyn, a region on the south side of Iliac Bay. They are responsible for duties ranging from open warfare to espionage and tax collection. The current commander of the Host of the Horn is Baron Shrike, the ruthless ruler of Lainlyn.

Wanting to overthrow Shrike and end his cruel reign, his brother, Lord Kain, founded a rival knighthood, the Knights of the True Horn. However, Kain's forces were defeated in combat: Lord Kain himself was slain, and the remaining Knights of the True Horn were exiled and scattered throughout Tamriel. In a final attempt to restart the conflict, the necromancer Arielle Jurard resurrected Lord Kain. But when she sought to rally the remaining knights, Lord Jaren of Castle Battlehorn foiled her plans by entrapping both Arielle and Lord Kain in the grotto of his castle. Their fate was only discovered years later when a new owner moved into the castle and opened the sealed grotto. With the help of a host of hired knights, the undead Lord Kain and necromancer-turned-lich Arielle Jurard were finally defeated.
