<DIV align="left">"<IMG src="Book/fancy_font/i_51x61.dds" width=51 height=61>t was a peaceful night like any other in the city. My family and I were sleeping quietly when we heard the sound of an explosion outside. At first I thought it was from the Mages Guild next door, since they could get noisy sometimes with their experiments. When I looked through the window, I thought I was in a nightmare. Buildings were on fire, citizens were slaughtered on the spot by humanoid-like soldiers. My house caught fire and half the roof crashed down, killing my two sons. My husband and I got out and tried to make our way to the chapel, where a priest was urging us to get inside. My husband got hit by a fireball and burned before my eyes as I made it to the chapel. My life lies in ruin, just like Kvatch. I don't know if I'm willing to stay alive now. I could just kill myself."<br>

The number of citizens lost is estimated at 15,000, which is three quarters of the city's entire population, according to the last census done in 3E 425. The Kvatch guard and the Imperial Legion report having lost over two thousand men and many more wounded.<br>
<br>
During the night of the 28th of the Last Seed, the survivors claim to have seen a huge portal-like door being erected in front of the city walls. From the portal came Daedra accompanied by a gigantic siege machine that was used to destroy the walls and allow the Daedric forces to enter the city and begin their slaughter.<br>
<br>
Thankfully, the siege has been lifted with the help of someone now known as the Hero of Kvatch. The said hero single-handedly dealt with the Oblivion Gate that blocked the way to the city. After having destroyed the Gate, the Kvatch counter-attack begun with the remaining Kvatch guards, the Imperial Legion and the Hero led by Captain Savlian Matius of the Kvatch city guards. The combined counter-attack forces managed to send all the Daedric invaders back to Oblivion and lift the siege. Alas, the Count of Kvatch, Ormellius Goldwine, died a heroic death while trying to hold off the Daedras from getting in the castle.<br>
<br>
High Chancellor Ocato has declared that the Empire is in mourning. As such, public funerals will be held in the neighboring cities of Anvil and Skingrad. In the rest of the Empire counts, barons, lords, kings and ladies shall respect a day of grief in their respective cities. High Chancellor Ocato has called an urgent council meeting to decide what to do about the situation.<br>
<br>
Whether the Oblivion Gate which opened the day following our great and beloved Emperor Uriel Septim VII's death is still a coincidence or not, it still needs to be studied by our Empire's high representatives.<br>
<br>
It is a very sad day for the Empire, but our unity shall make us succeed. Akatosh, we shall honor our dead and call to you when help will be needed. We shall honor your year.<br>
