There was a second invasion from Akavir in 2E 572, landing in Skyrim. The kingdom of Elsweyr was created in 2E 309, when the Khajiit kingdoms of Pellitine and Anequina reconciled their historical differences and the ruling families married. This began the Interregnum, which lasted for centuries and saw many petty kings attempt to take the throne of Cyrodiil, and other provinces become their own network of independent kingdoms and alliances, if they were not already.

Both Shaei and his son were in turn assassinated by the Morag Tong, ending the Second Empire centuries after the death of the last Reman. He also affirmed the charter to found the Mages Guild, begun by Vanus Galerion in Firsthold on the Summerset Isles in 2E 230. Facing rebellious nobles building up their own sizeable forces, he used his remaining legions to crush all independent armies and instituted what would become the Fighters Guild as a place to hire mercenaries. The Second Era started after the Akaviri Potentate Versidue Shaie ordered the assassination of the last of the Reman line in 1E 2920. As Reman left no heirs, the Potentate Versidue-Shaie ruled in his place, and declared the end of the First Era.

Reman II began the Four-Score War with Morrowind, which ended the same year Reman III was assassinated by the Morag Tong, 1E 2920. Reman and his descendents then went on to conquer all of Tamriel except Morrowind, founding the Second Empire, which some call a golden age. Victory in this battle brought both the Dragonguard and the Akaviri Potentate to Tamriel. The Second Empire was founded in 1E 2703, when Reman Cyrodiil unified the province to fight off an Akaviri invasion. The order itself fell during the War of Righteousness, which wiped out both the Order and the Empire. After a period of relative stability, this empire eradicated the remaining Ayleids under the direction of the Alessian Order. The apparently cordial relations between Ayleid and men in Cyrodiil ultimately broke down, and Alessia led a slave revolt to liberate men in the province, having received a blessing and the Amulet of Kings from Akatosh, the latter of which was to serve as a symbol of Imperial power for most of Tamriel's history. The First Empire of the Nords ultimately fell to a combined force of Chimer and Dwemer to found Resdayn, but in time they would turn against each other, resulting in the disappearance of the Dwemer and the ascendancy of the Tribunal in the governance of the province. The Nords were particularly warlike, conquering not only Skyrim but areas of High Rock and Morrowind as well. The First Era began with an expansion of both man and mer peoples, with varying degrees of conflict and accommodation. A vareity of merish records, on the other hand, date back to the Merethic Era. The era was commonly considered to be outside of verifiable history, as humanity did not possess a written language to speak of until the end of the Mythic Era. It was a time when all manner of mythological occurrences are said to have taken place. The ones who stayed in Summerset Isles became the Altmer those in Valenwood, the Bosmer those in Skyrim, the Snow Elves in Morrowind, the Chimer and the Dwemer in Cyrodiil, the Ayleid and in High Rock, a mix between the Aldmer and the Nedes birthed the Bretons. As the Aldmer settled Tamriel, they changed culturally in relation to their new environment. When the Aldmer first arrived in Tamriel it is believed by most that they initially settled in the Summerset Isles, and then spread eastward into the mainland of Tamriel. The Atmorans came to Tamriel from Atmora after they arrived, they began to spread throughout mainland Skyrim. The Merethic Era, otherwise known as the Mythic Era, was the era between the start of linear time and recorded history. The Convention took place at the 'end' of this era, at the imposition of linear time. Time did not exist and when it was created it was not linear, like during a Dragon Break. The Dawn Era began with the creation of Mundus it is an era that is known mostly through myth and legend, which are different in different cultures, however most scholars agree on what events led up to the start of recorded history. The Eras are typically marked with by the founding or ending of a dynasty. Recorded Tamrielic history is divided into six distinct eras: the Dawn Era, the Merethic Era, the First Era, the Second Era, the Third Era, and the Fourth Era.
