The Origin of Cyrus by MIchael Kirkbride

And, while we’re still on the subject, no, Tiber Septim isn’t a Nord, he’s an Atmoran. “Cyrodiil” is a pretty blanket term for every element of the Imperial Province: its common provincial name is Cyrodiil, the capital city is named Cyrodiil, the people are the Cyrodiils, and the Emperor is “The Cyrodiil.” A lot of people still think it comes from the surname of Reman Cyrodiil, who built the region into the Second Empire of Men, but, really, he just took its ancient Elven name and stuck it onto his own (sorta like somebody in our world calling themselves “Jonny America”). It’s a complicated the-king-is-the-land kind of thing that reaches back to the time when the Elves ruled the area before it was taken from them by the First Empire of the Nords. Traditionally, anyone strong enough to take the Imperial Throne is known as the ‘Cyrodiil,’ no matter the province kingdom of their birth. 'Or a Breton, if you believe those jokers in Alcaire. Why does Duadeen refer to Tiber Septim as the Cyrodiil? He’s a Nord, if I remember correctly. Hey, When are you guys finally going to get into that ‘dark secret’ that Cyrus refuses to talk about? And what does it have to do with Iszara, who we’ve only seen in cryptic flashbacks? Now that the Duadeen story arc seems to be wrapping up, it’s high time we learned about it! Billy Fresno, PA P.S. The answers contain information that can be used as a reference in lore articles. In addition to the comic, a mock Q&A section was also included in the format of fan sent mail. In 2011, as part of their redesigned website, Bethesda made a color copy of the comic available for download as a PDF file. The story of the past shows the reason for his leaving Hammerfell in the first place, and his adventures as part of a mercenary gang in Morrowind. The present day story involves him returning to Hammerfell to search for his sister, events that form the central storyline of the game. The story sets the scene for the game of Redguard and is split between Cyrus' present day and a time a few years in his past. All versions were lettered using Comic Sans MS. In the gray version, Louise Sandoval was credited with 'tones' rather than colors. Some versions of the comic were in full color, while others were in shades of gray. It was written by Michael Kirkbride, with pencils by John Pearson, inks by Hugh Riley, and colors by Louise Sandoval. Although the cover stated that it was issue 24, and had a cover price of '$2.50 US, $3.00 Canada', only one issue was ever produced, and it was only available with the game.

The Origin of Cyrus! was a comic included with The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.
