At the same time, in separate locations, the late emperor's three sons and heirs (Crown Prince Geldall, 56; Prince Enman, 55; Prince Ebel, 53] were slain by other assassins. An investigation into the identity and motives of the assassins is under way, but the Elder Council, Imperial Guard, and Blades Guard have forbidden the publication of reports and rumors concerning the event until further notice.

No direct heirs survive, and the council has proposed no list of candidates. Chancellor Ocato, Imperial Battlemage, speaking for the Elder Council, presented an appeal to the empire's citizens for calm, and asked that the people remember the Emperor, his sons, and the Elder Council in their prayers.

<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/e_78x61.dds" width=78 height=61>mperor Uriel's early reign was marked by peace and prosperity. The Empress Caula Voria bore him three healthy sons, was a loving companion to the Emperor, and a great favorite of the people. However, the emperor and the empire suffered terribly during the Imperial Simulacrum (3E 389-399], when he was held captive in Oblivion while the usurper Jagar Tharn assumed his appearance and ruled in his stead. Emperor Uriel was finally rescued and restored and the impostor defeated by the agency of the sorceress Ria Silmane and her shadowy prot馮・ but the affairs of the empire were in great disorder, and Empress Caula Voria, exhausted by her ordeal, withdrew from public life.

<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/t_52x61.dds" width=52 height=61>he latter years of the Emperor's reign have seen a flourishing of Imperial influence in the provinces, and with the fortunate resolution of the religious wars and the Vvardenfell Crisis, and with the wise and firm guidance of King Helseth and his mother, Queen Barenziah, an extension of high Imperial culture even into the more remote parts of Morrowind.

Battlemage Ocato assures us that all the resources of the Elder Council, the Legions, the Guard, the Arcane University, and the Imperial Battle College are being employed to bring the assassins to justice. But, in the meantime, the greatest tribute we citizens can offer to the memory of our beloved Emperor is to go earnestly and diligently about our daily affairs, honoring the life of the great Empire he loved so much, and served so faithfully for so long.

皇帝陛下と嗣子、暗殺！<br>

元老院が摂政として指名される！

<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/u_66x62.dds" width=66 height=62>riel皇帝の晩年の治世は、平和と繁栄に満ちていた。CaulaVoria皇后陛下は3人の健康な皇子をもうけられ、皇帝陛下の良き伴侶として、人民からも絶大な支持を得ていた。けれども、皇帝陛下と帝国は｢皇帝の似像｣時代(3E389-399)に、厳しい経験をすることとなった。皇帝陛下がOblivionに幽閉され、強奪者Jagar_Tharnが皇帝陛下に成りすまし、代わって帝国を支配したのだ。女魔道士Ria_Silmaneと彼女が影から支援した人物の働きにより、皇帝陛下はついに救い出され、詐欺師は敗北した。だが、帝国は大混乱に陥り、CaulaVoria皇后陛下は試練の為に心身ともに疲れ果て、公務より退くこととなった。

<p>
<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/u_66x62.dds" width=66 height=62>riel皇帝陛下とその3人の嗣子の暗殺は卑劣な犯行であり、帝国にとって大いなる悲劇だ。戦闘魔術師Ocatoは、元老院、軍、警備隊、Arcane_University、Imperial_Battle_College、全ての団体の力を結集し、暗殺者に正義の鉄槌を下すと保証した。しかし、一方で、我々人民が日々の生活を真面目で勤勉に過ごし、皇帝陛下が愛してやまなかった偉大な帝国を誇りに、末永く誠実に奉仕することが、敬愛する皇帝陛下に送る最大の賛辞であろう。
