“奴隷女王”アレッシアに鼓舞され，ニベネイで奴隷化されていたニードの人々はエイリーイドの大領主たちに対して武装蜂起を開始する。ニードはまもなくペリナル・ホワイトストレークに支援される──彼は出自不明の無敵同然の戦士で，絶えざる憎しみをエルフに抱いており，エイリーイド軍を独力で壊滅させる。ペリナルを味方につけた人間の反乱はニベネイ全土で勝利を収め，要塞に次ぐ要塞を陥落させ，そのたび解放奴隷によって数を増す。半神有翼の雄牛モリハウスに率いられたスカイリム軍も元奴隷たちに合流する。合同軍は制止不可の勢力になり，それはたちまちの周辺領土をすべて征服する。あらゆる狙いは，エイリーイドの最後最大の要塞，ホワイトゴールドの塔につけられる。

The armies of the rebellion lay siege on White-Gold Tower. Pelinal grows impatient with the slow preparations for the final attack and heads for the city alone. Pelinal calls out Umaril the Unfeathered, king of White-Gold Tower, and slays him in single combat. The remaining Ayleid kings trap and with unknown magics kill Pelinal before attempting to flee the city. Soon after, the armies of Alessia and Morihaus sound the attack and raze the remaining defenses. White-Gold Tower is conquered and the Ayleid empire annihilated. Alessia, with Morihaus as her consort, is declared Empress of Cyrod.

Alessia's fledgling kingdom must reconcile vast cultural differences. Over centuries of oppression, her fellow nedes had adopted elements of the Aldmeri pantheon, whereas the Nords, whose support had been instrumental in the success of the rebellion, were vehemently opposed to the worship of the elven deities. In response, the Empress introduces the 'Eight Divines' as an intricate merger of the Nordic and Aldmeri pantheons. Curiously absent from these eight gods is Shezarr (known to the Nords as Shor and to the elves at large as Lorkhan), whose violent, anti-Aldmer image was too diplomatically hazardous for inclusion.

Over the next centuries, the Nibenese heartland develops a strong national identity and extends its territory westward by annexing the kingdom of Colovia.
