Blighters were descendants of the original Aldmer. Their ship was lost in a storm on the way to Tamriel, and drifted to the fiery continent of Rieltam. They lived in Rieltam within the area known as Highcraft. They have dark red skin, and a skin disease that was a part of their genetics causes them to have black lips and circles around their eyes.

Blighters were a very hardy people. They had major resistances to disease, poison, and fire, but they were extremely weakened by frost magicks. Living in a volcanic area allowed them to learn a magicka spell known as Embyr Touch, which was a very powerful fire spell used to great effect in the War of the Two Heirs and the War of the Mer. Their skin was red because upon landing on Rieltam they settled near a volcano, now known as Death Mountain, and evolved to suit their new habitat.

The Blighters were the most savage of the people to inhabit Rieltam. All Blighter men were warriors and habitually wore armor as casually as the Imperials wore silks, wools, and linens. They were stockier than the Imperials, but not as bulky as the Nords.

The Blighters were close mouthed to the point of rudeness, which made trading with them extremely difficult. Many Imperial scholars reasoned that the harshness and bleakness of their homeland had in some way affected their character. It was not uncommon for a Blighter merchant to complete negotiations without ever speaking. They would examine the merchandise offered, lay a certain amount of gold on the table, and if the merchant objected, they would simply pick up their gold and depart. For many traders, haggling was more important than profit, which made it increasingly frustrating to deal with Blighters.

Blighters would not discuss their religious and political capital of Bli Locth, or even admit that it existed, and large portions of their uninhabitable country were absolutely forbidden to outsiders.

It was rumored that the Blighter population was much more extensive than the scanty numbers which inhabited the areas traveled by foreigners, and many Aensland have suspected the existence of vast Blighter cities lying in the southern mountains of the Highcraft Empire below the Gorth River.

Blighter women were kept closely confined and were never seen in public, not even the youngest female children. To many foreigners it had appeared that the Highcraft Empire was populated entirely by males. This was not the case, and travelers and merchants who were invited into a Blighter home were warned to not enter the portions of the house marked by black doors. To violate the sanctity of the women’s quarters in any Blighter home invited instant death.

The current King of Highcraft is Raut Sagur, who currently holds the empire in an iron grip, but is of questionable sanity.

The Battle of Grimpen Ward was a battle of the First Great War, between Esroniet, Skull Kingdom, the Stor Empire, and the Southern Federation, Mermidon Republic, Kingdom of Anar, and Callahorn. It started when Esroniet attacked the small farming town of Grimpen Ward. Several villagers survived and fled through the Irrybis Mountains to Tyrsis, the capital of Callahorn. They reported to the King of Calahorn that an unknown race of men had come from beyond the Blue Divide, the Sea of Ghosts, and had attacked Grimpen Ward. The King of Callahorn sent the elite Falcon Division of the Border Legion to drive the invaders out. The Falcon Division fought hard but was driven away. Knowing that the soldiers would return to their capital the armies of Esroniet secretly followed the retreating soldiers, but was confronted by a party of Naugrim. The Naugrim were swiftly defeated.
