They joined forces with the Court of Bedlam, an alliance of the cultists of Nocturnal, Mephala, and Clavicus Vile who attempted to gain control over the Crystal Tower around 2E 582. The Cabal were a group of Sea Sload who wanted to reclaim the island for their underwater kingdom of Ul'vor Kus. The Second Era also saw the Abyssal Cabal's plot to sink Summerset Isle. It remained open until roughly 2E 814 when foreign traders were only allowed at its ports. Around 2E 582, Ayrenn issued a decree that opened the borders of Summerset Isle for outsiders, which resulted in an influx of immigrants. Ayrenn chose Elden Root in Valenwood rather than Alinor to be the capital of the Dominion, and her cousin Alwinarwe ruled Summerset on her behalf. In the sixth century of the Second Era, during the Interregnum, Queen Ayrenn, daughter of King Hidellith, formed the first Aldmeri Dominion, an alliance with Valenwood and Elsweyr whose goal was to conquer Cyrodiil and seize the Ruby Throne. The population on the Summerset Isle was three to four times larger in the late First Era, than it was in the mid Second Era. In their isolation, the elves of the Isle developed a unique architectural style, more similar to the Falmeri style than to the architecture of Auridon. Since early times, Summerset Isle had been off-limits to almost all non-Altmer. ![]() In the third millennium of the First Era, Summerset Isle was struck by the Thrassian Plague, which depopulated whole towns such as Corgrad. The First Era was a period of unrest, with internal conflicts between the city-states, as well as Sload and Maormer invasions. The ancestors of the modern Altmer formed a caste-based society and established the city of Alinor as their capital. ![]() Summerset Isle was colonized along with the other island in the archipelago by the Aldmer when they came from Aldmeris in the Merethic Era.
