Lore:People[edit]
Hrolfdir (?b - 4E ?d)[edit]
Hrolfdir was the Jarl of Markarth and the father of Igmund. He was pressured by the Thalmor to arrest Ulfric Stormcloak after the Markarth Incident. He was remembered as an active leader, one who would not sit idly by while evil men took over his lands.
Quintus Varus (?b - 3E 427)[edit]
Quintus Varus was an Imperial warden of Stormhold prison and a reputed lunatic. He ruled as warden circa 3E 427, forcing his prisoners to dig for crystals, which he valued. He planned to locate the Storm Crystal, a large crystal capable of holding large amounts of corruption, and use it to store all the evil in the Empire, titling himself the Slayer of Evil. Though he found the crystal, it was unable to store all of the Empire's evil. Varus would meet his end by the hand of his own prisoner, who he nicknamed the Master Tunnel Rat.

Bat Lizard[edit]
Bat lizards are said to be a species of flying creature encountered by Topal the Pilot in the Merethic Era. They were found on a forested island theorized to be Gorne.

Caterpillar[edit]
Caterpillars are minuscule, many-legged larval insects found throughout Tamriel which eat leaves. They can sport a variety of colors and patterns, including green, orange and purple stripes, yellow, and red. Types of caterpillar are often incredibly diverse from one another, with some possessing furry backs and others having up to sixteen eyes. In nature, they are preyed upon by robins, while Argonians are known to prepare them in their cuisine and beverages. Bosmer smoke caterpillars through bone pipes. Inferniums closely resemble large caterpillars.
At some point in a caterpillar's life, they develop a cacoon, from which a butterfly or moth may emerge. Caterpillar farms can be found in Black Marsh, where they are raised to till they become moths and butterflies to be eaten. Silks may also be harvested from caterpillar farms, which are spun into rough linens.

The Orichalc Scalpel was an enchanted broadsword wielded by King Emeric Cumberland. Its owner described it as flashing and humming "like a blade in a sawmill".

This would prove to be the turning point of an attempt to breach Wayrest during a siege of the city, forcing the attackers to continue their siege. Its name suggests that is was made of orichalcum.
