Hulgar sped into the gates of Solitude. He gathered his family from Proudspire Manor and explained the situation. Due to the cities close proximity to Markarth, he sent his family off to Hjerim, his house in Windhelm. As Hulgar and Shadowmere rode to Windhelm, he saw countless Dwarves and Falmer heading in Markarth's direction. Killing countless amounts, he and Shadowmere arrived in Windhelm three days later. Arriving, he rushed to Hjerim and saw his family safe and sound.
The next day, he was wandering the docks when suddenly; a ship carrying a lone Dunmer arrived, with many riches and exotic herbs aboard. Leaping off the ship, the man drew an odd looking katana and pointed it at Hulgar.
"Who are you?" The man asked.
"I should ask the same of you." Hulgar responded calmly.
"I am Thadas Llaram, although you may know me as Nerevarine, the Nerevar Incarnate. What year is it, if I may ask?"
"211 of the Fourth Era," Hulgar responded.
"What! Who is the High King of Skyrim, the Councilor of House Hlallu or the Emperor of the Septim Dynasty?" Thadas roared.
"The High King is Ulfric Stormcloak, as for House Hlallu, it was disbanded at the end of the Third Era, and the Septim Dynasty ended then as well, leaving no Emperor until Titus Mede I took control of the Empire," He responded, slightly confused.
"By the Gods, what happened?" asked the Nerevarine.
Hulgar explained what had happened, starting with the Oblivion Crisis and ending with the Great War.
When the Nerevarine was about to speak, someone said "Did I hear my name?"
Turning, Hulgar saw Sheogorath, Daedric Prince of Madness himself.
"What?" Hulgar said.
"Oh, you haven't heard the stories, have you, laddy? You see, at the end of an Era, a Greymarch occurs in my realm, and I pass my essence on to a mortal, in this case, it was the Champion of Cyrodiil."
As he said that, he transformed into a young man, wearing Imperial Dragon Armor.
"Ah! Finally free! My alter ego tells me that the world needs saving… again!" The man said.
"Who are you?" Asked an extremely confused Hulgar.
"Oh, allow me to introduce myself, I am Arenar Sosia, Hero of Kvatch, Seventh Champion of Cyrodiil and most importantly, Madgod! So, what requires attention?"
After explaining the current situation to the two heroes, Thadas let loose a cry of despair that some say was heard in Daggerfall!
"By the gods, it's gone, all of it gone!" Thadas cried. "Hlallu has fallen, the Septim Dynasty defunct and the return of the Dwemer! It was written in the lost prophecy about the return! After the fall of the World-Eater, the lost race will thrive and slaughter the populace like cattle!"
"You mentioned Alduin? He is somehow connected to this? There are only two men in Tamriel who can help us. Follow me!" Hulgar cried.
