Oblivion Crisis



The Oblivion Crisis (Dovahzul: Keinseoblivion, also Evgirdro Volum Unslaad, lit. "Season of Darkness Unending [idiom for war]; Baekje: Manggak-euk wiki; Durnish: La Crise d'Oubli) was a period in the mid 1600's when Oblivion Gates opened all throughout Mundus, letting Daedra roam the lands and attack men and mer.

The cause of the crisis is, even today, still unknown. However, it was one of the most devastating events in the history of Mundus. Thousands were killed as mortal-kind struggled to push back the onslaught. Eventually, the Daedric invasion was stopped, first in Keizaal, when the Dragon Priests, using a method still unknown, succeeded in closing the gates in their country. Afterward, the Jimin succeeded in closing their own portals, mainly by overwhelming the Daedra who opened them with conscripted Argonian soldiers.
