326 2. THE ELDER SCROLLS CHAPTER 2: DAGGERFALL
The Battle of Cryngaine Field was the tragic ending of the senseless war of attrition. The
Cryngaine Field is located in between the Yeorth Burrowland and the Ravennian Forest
where the armies of Sentinel and Daggerfall respectively made camp after the massacre at
Reich Gradkeep. As the battle began, Daggerfall proved that she had some foul daedric
magical tricks left by blinding the Redguard army with a wall of mist. Lysandus did not have
the opportunity to gloat over his cozenage for long, for the sure arm of a Sentinel archer
struck him in the throat even through the thick, swirling fog.
Lysandus' son, Gothryd, who had spent the battle in lugubrious relaxation, was crowned
without ceremony, and thereupon demanded a duel with King Camaron. Camaron was many
years Gothryd's senior, and though a superior warrior, was exhausted from the endless
warfare the boy king had been spared. Nevertheless, as a point of honor, our king agreed to
the duel. The new king of Daggerfall, by dirty trick and black magic, managed to backstab
our king before the duel ever began. Thus, the victor of Cryngaine Field, and the War of
Betony, was Daggerfall.
Daggerfall's wickedness continued even after her inglorious victory. While the widow queen
of Sentinel, Her Majesty Akorithi, mourned and tried to mend her shattered lands, Gothryd
demanded the Princess of Sentinel as a hostage of war. To save her homeland, the Princess
Aubk-i agreed to leave Sentinel and even marry the murderer of her father. But we true
Redguards of Sentinel know where her love and honor lies. The Queen of Daggerfall is the
Princess of Sentinel first and foremost.
