Durcorach

Durcorach (2E 485 – 541), known as the Black Drake, was a Reachman warlord during the chaotic Interregnum period. At some point he raised an army from the Reach and seized control of the Empire of Cyrodiil, reigning as the first of the Longhouse Emperors. Durcorach married Veraxia Tharn of the prominent Nibenese Tharn family, allegedly to legitimize his claim to the Ruby Throne. He had a warhound named Elf-Biter. Upon his death, rule of the Empire passed to Durcorach's son, Moricar.
