In the Second Era, the Daggerfall Covenant (a tentative alliance of the kingdoms in High Rock) allied with the Orcs to drive off King Ranser of Shornhelm, who was invading the kingdom of Wayrest. At other points in history, however, they used the Orcs to defeat political opponents.
When not fighting amongst themselves, they often united against a common enemy - the Orsimer of Orsinium. Despite the apparent homogeneity of their culture, many different kingdoms arose within High Rock, vying for territory and political superiority. They took the druids as subjects and many years of interbreeding resulted in the Bretons.īreton history is fraught with political strife. The story goes that the province of High Rock was inhabited by human druids who were eventually taken over by the settling Aldmer, who emigrated from Summerset Isle.
A commonly held belief in the world of Mundus is that the Bretons are essentially half-elves.
