By the Fourth Era, it had become another inaccessible ruin with Forsworn squatting around its outskirts. Īs the eras passed and the original mission of the Dragonguard was forgotten, the temple was eventually abandoned, though it may have been used by the Blades as late as the Third Era. This allowed the temple to be sealed, only ever to be opened by a Dragonborn to unlock its knowledge and power. The Blood Seal outside the temple was consecrated in the presence of all Akaviri Dragonguard in Skyrim. Emperor Reman II returned to the temple in 1E 2818 to officially dedicate the wall.

Ĭraftsmen from temples across the Empire were called upon to work on the wall and after six years it was completed. Given that Alduin's return was inevitable, the Dragonguard believed that the wall was their gift to the generations that were to follow. The prophecy foretold of five key historical events that would preface Alduin's return after his expulsion during the Dragon War. Its main focus was a pictorial representation of the Prophecy of the Dragonborn. Considered to be a wonder of the ancient world, its purpose was to record the accumulated dragonlore and prophecy that the Dragonguard possessed at the time. In 1E 2812 Emperor Reman II permitted the construction of Alduin's Wall within the temple.

The new emperor later visited the temple as part of his first visit to Skyrim in 1E 2806, to which the Dragonguard provided the honor guard. The siege was eventually lifted shortly after the accession of Reman II as Emperor.

The sacking resulted in the local Nords laying siege to the temple, as they did not distinguish between Akaviri. In their stead, Kastav sent an Akaviri commander named Kalien, who sacked the city the following year. The Dragonguard stationed at the temple disobeyed Emperor Kastav's orders to suppress the rebellion, on the grounds that it violated their Oath of Allegiance. īy the late Second Era, the Winterhold Rebellion took place in protest to forced conscriptions that were being imposed on the local populace. During the First Era it was inhabited by Reman Cyrodiil's Dragonguard and served as an outpost in their crusade against dragons. Sky Haven Temple was a large Akaviri fortress built amongst the mountains of The Reach in Skyrim.
