The Emperors Sons were EVIL CLONES?! The Elder Scrolls Oblivion
367Did you know?
Before the Mythic Dawn assassins Succeeded,
An Imperial mob tried to kill the Emperors 3 sons, But why?
As players are well aware:
During the Emperor’s dialogue at the beginning of Oblivion, he mentions his three sons Geldall Enman & Ebell… were already dead:
But why did an angry mob supposedly try to kill them first believing the men to be evil clones of the Emperor?
Well, it wasn’t the first time a Septim Imposter had arisen.
During the events of The Elder Scrolls Arena, Uriel was betrayed by his trusted Battlemage Jagar Tharn. Tharn used the Staff of Chaos to trap Septim in Mehrunes Dagon's Plane of Oblivion out of jealousy and desire for the throne, and copied his look by using Illusion magic. Effectively becoming Uriels double for years, undetected.
During Tharns 10 year tenure as Emperor, Cyrodiil fell into disrepair, plagued by infighting & warring kingdoms. The 3 Septim sons at the time, were all under the age of 5 when their father was abducted.
However, upon The REAL Uriel Septims liberation by the Eternal Champion in Arena, The Empire entered a period of peace and prosperity comparable to the early years of Uriel's reign.
Unsurprisingly, The real Uriel Septim was greatly changed during his time in Oblivion. He could not properly remember his time there except to say he thought he was dreaming, or more so experiencing endless nightmares with no notion of the passage of time.
Fast Forward 37 years after dispatching Tharn, the Emperor now in his 80’s was rumored to be sick & like all good gossip his past was being warped & used against him. His 3 Sons all close in age in their late 40’s must have been the spitting image of the emperor too as unfavourable allegations can be heard about the emperors succession in Morrowind.
On the topic of "Unrest in Cyrodiil City" with NPCs this is said:
"Uriel Septim is sick, and wizards say his heir, Geldall Septim, and the younger Septims, Enman and Ebel, are just doppelgangers placed in the household during Jagar Tharn's tenure as Imperial Battlemage. They say the Guard charged a mob demanding destruction of the false heirs -- lots of folks were killed."
There's also this one:
"Uriel Septim was never a strong Emperor. And now he's finally dying of age and illness. A coward's death. They say Ocato makes the real decisions. They say Uriel's heirs are really Daedra or shapeshifters planted by Jagar Tharn. They say the Emperor might pull back the Legions to try and protect himself. Some of the generals in the Legions have one eye on Uriel Septim and one eye on the throne."
Conclusion:
So there you have it, rumors swirled, a mob already tried to lash out at Septims sons & opportunists circled ready to make a move on a reportedly sick emperor even 6 years prior to Oblivion… they were just a tad too late as the Mythic Dawn stepped in first, although ironically their was some truth in the rumors as Ocato did indeed manage the empires affairs with the council, post Uriels fall.D
