[[AFTER>> FIRST ERA
Note: The Second Era of Tamriel is also commonly referred to as the Common Era, CE.
Second Century
2E 120 — Baroness Viana the Pure is born.
2E 148 — Baroness Viana the Pure dies.
Third Century
2E 227 — Tjurhane Fyrre dies.
The great Ayleid (Wild Elf) sage, Tjurhane Fyrre, dies.
2E 230 — The first Mages Guild is formed
2E 283 — Akaviri Potentate Versidue-Shaie declares martial law.
During the 37 years of martial law, all other armies in Tamriel are crushed.
Fourth Century
2E 309 — The province of Elsweyr is founded.
The minor kingdoms Kiergo of Anequina and Enutsa of Pellitine combined to create the province of Elsweyr, sparking a great class war which almost resulted in outside intervention.
2E 320 — Dinieras-Ves "the Iron" founded The Syffim, the forerunner of the Fighters Guild.
Since Potentate Versidue-Shaie had destroyed all armies but his own, the Syffim were intended to act as a hired army to suppress brigandage in the provinces.
2E 324 — Potentate Versidue-Shaie is murdered.
The Potentate was murdered in his palace, in what is today the Elsweyr kingdom of Senchal, by the Morag Tong.
2E 358 — Earliest known written record of the Dark Brotherhood
A note was found beneath the floorboards of an abandoned house in the Nordic village of Jallenheim. Depicting a war between two shadowy organizations, scholars speculate that this is a rare piece of evidence of the war between the Morag Tong and its hated offshoot, the Dark Brotherhood. The Brotherhood was probably in existance before this date, but its secrecy shrouds its true origins, though it was most likely formed by several ex-members of the Morag Tong.
2E 360 — Earliest known date of a person enlisting the services of the Dark Brotherhood
This reference was found in the journals of Queen Arlimahera of Hegathe.
Fifth Century
2E 412 — Earliest mention of the name of the Dark Brotherhood
This reference was found in the journals of the Blood Queen Arlimahera of Hegathe. "...with the help of the Night Mother and her Dark Brotherhood, the secret arsenal my family has employed since my grandfather's time." It can be surmised that the Dark Brotherhood was already well organized in 2E 360 if her grandfather truly used them.
2E 431 — Potentate Savirien-Chorak dies.
Savirien-Chorak and all of his heirs were murdered by the Dark Brotherhood, ending the years of the Akaviri Potentate and the Second Empire of Cyrodiil. Some historians date this event in 2E 430.
2E 432 — Orsinium loses its territory status.
One year after the death of Emperor Potentate Savirien-Chorak, Orsinium loses the status of an Imperial territory.
Sixth Century
2E 560 — The Knahaten Flu
A strain of the Knahaten Flu hits the southern provinces of Tamriel causing many deaths. The Argonians were strangely immune to the flu which has led some to believe they were responsible for it in some way. The flu continued until around 2E 601.
2E 572 — The Akaviri invaders of Morrowind were defeated.
The Akaviri invaders were killed when the island mysteriously became flooded. Despite the extensive flooding, almost no Dunmer people were injured or killed. Rumor has it that the god Vivec taught the Dunmeri to breathe water and flooded the island.

The date of the Redguard rebellion on the island of Stros M'kai off the coast of Hammerfell. The rebellion, led by Cyrus and his sister Iszara, destroyed the Imperial fleet in the harbour of Stros M'Kai and defeated the Imperial Legion on the island, killing Lord Admiral Amiel Richton in the process. With the strategic island in rebel hands, Emperor Tiber Septim was forced to peace on terms more favourable to Hammerfell.
