The Second Empire or Second Empire of Men, often referred to as the Reman Empire or sometimes the Cyrodilic Empire or Empire of Cyrodiil, was unofficially formed in the year 1E 2703 after Reman Cyrodiil defeated the invading Akaviri horde and incorporated High Rock and Skyrim under the reign of a reunited Cyrodiil. 'And in the child's forehead was the Chim-el Adabal, alive with the dragon-fires of yore and divine promise, and none dared obstruct Sed-Yenna when she climbed the steps of White-Gold Tower to place the babe Reman on his Throne, where he spoke as an adult, saying I AM CYRODIIL COME.' ― Anonymous
