Uriel Septim I was the fourth emperor of the Septim Dynasty, ruling the Third Empire for eleven years, from 3E 53 to 3E 64. He was preceded by his mother, Kintyra I, and was succeeded by his son, Uriel II.[1]
BiographyEdit
Uriel Septim was the son of Kintyra Septim (later Empress Kintyra I).[1][2] At some point, he had a son, Uriel.[1][2] In 3E 53, Kintyra I died, so Uriel was crowned Emperor of Tamriel.[2][3]:16
Uriel I was the great lawmaker of the Septim Dynasty, and a promoter of independent organizations and guilds.[1] The Fighters Guild and the Mages Guild increased in prominence throughout Tamriel during his reign.[1] During his reign, Uriel I became known as a kind and tender ruler but also a firm one.[1] He was the first of seven emperors to use the name Uriel, a practice that ended with Uriel VII's death in 3E 433.[1][4][3]:16 In 3E 64, Uriel I died and was succeeded by his son, Uriel II.[1][2][4] His son's reign witnessed the beginning of the Empire's disunification, and it would not return to the level of unity seen during Uriel I's reign until the days of Pelagius IV.[5]
