Antiochus Septim (Born ?? -
3E
112) was the seventh monarch to rule the Empire of Tamriel, a
fictional state in the Elder Scrolls universe, during its Third
Age. His parents didn't look after him as a child and became known
to many Imperials as a
drunkard and
womanizer by the age of sixteen. He was crowned
King of Tamriel in 3E 99 after his father
Pelagius II died. Pelagius
was one of the most
flamboyant of the usual austere Septim family, he
had many
mistresses
and several wives, and was renowned for his grandness of dress and
strong sense of
humor.
During his rule, the province of
Summerset Isle was almost lost in 3E
110, when an alliance of Imperial forces and the Kings of Sumurset
only just managed to defeat King
Orgnum of the island kingdom of
Pyandonea due to a freak
storm.
Legend credits the
Psijic Order of the island of
Artaeum with the
magic behind the storm. This was the most notable
of wars in a reign rife with such conflicts. Antiochus died after
13 years of rule in 3E 112, and was succeeded by his daughter
Kintyra
Septim II.
Emperor of Tamriel: 98 - 122
