This story is not about the life of Tiber Septim, but the Legend. He was one of the most courageous soldiers to ever walk the battlefield, he sustained wounds that would kill a lesser man, but he shrugged it off and went to his men's aid. He saved the lives of countless men with his quick thinking and legendary leadership. He was a true Hero.

Long ago when Tiber was young he joined the Imperial Legion and was under the command of General Pental, he took part in a great battle. There mission was to take a heavily guarded fortress named Aleno Yar. Tiber was a fresh recruit but alread an able swordsmen. He was put in command of fifty of the ten-thousand troops under General Pental. His orders were to take out a small fort nearby, the fort contained fifty catalpults and one hundred men and the battle's success rested upon that fort. Tiber took a covert approach and they snuck through a hole in the rear of the fort and lit the catapults on fire. While the enemy was distracted trying to put out the fires the Septim soldiers slaughtered the enemy. Not one man was lost on Tiber's, 100 were lost on the enemies' side.
General Pental decided to promote Tiber to Captain for his bravery and gave him command of fifty more men. It wasn't long until another battle took place...this time it was not far from the capital city of Cidel...
Enemy forces approached and Tiber and his men were in charge of the cities' defence. The Emperor had all of his Generals away on foreign missions and did not forsee an attack.
The sky shone crimson on that day meaning a bloody battle was about to take place. Tiber Septim and his hundred men stood outside the city gates while the city watch where perched upon the city walls, bows ready. All was silent, not a single noise pierced the steel wall of silence.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by the roars of catapults and massive siege engines. One-thousand men walked alongside them.
Men roared and clashed as the battle erupted around them. Tiber slashed and hacked his way through countless men, trying to make his way towards thier commander. If the commander was defeated the odds would change very quickly.
Then, Tiber saw him, clad in silver armor, armed a massive great sword, wearing a silver mask. Tiber charged and swung his sword, the commander blocked and swung at Tiber, barely missing his neck. Tiber lunged at his chest and the enemy commander dodged and swung his sword, Tiber blocked but his sword flew from his grasp by the power of his swing. The commander swung his sword down to give a finishing blow but Tiber rolled sideways and picked up a fallen soldier's spear. Tiber got up and dodged the enemy commander's next swing and pierced his heart with the spear.
Tiber looked around and saw that only fifty of his men remained. He ordered them to retreat to the gates and to defend there. The enemies looked and saw there leader with a spear sticking out of his heart. Some ran away, some mourned there leader, few attacked. With the help of the City Watchmen's arrows Tiber won the battle.
When Tiber approached the fallen commander and removed his mask. To Tiber's supprise, it was the enemy Emperor, Cidel had won...for now.

For his heroism at the battle of Cidel, Tiber Septim was granted the rank of General and was given 5000 men to command and lead through battle. His conquests ranged from one end of the world to the other, he was loved by his men and feared by his enemies.

One day Tiber was assigned to take an enemy stronghold, not a hard task as it was a small stronghold guarded by only a couple hundred soldiers, so they decided to just charge the thing and get it over with. What a big mistake that was, as they charged they saw that it was not a human guard, it was demons.
Demons who could crack a skull with the flick of a wrist, they could jump ten feet in the air and fire an arrow at the height of the jump, and they could sustain ten spears to the back and still crush a skull. Tiber couldnt issue orders in time, the battle had begun!
Tiber joined the battle and slashed at a demon who turned and faced Tiber. "YOU DARE FACE ME HUMAN, DIE SCUM!" The demon swung and Tiber blocked and the Demon blade slashed through Tiber's sword like butter. The demon raised his sword and slashed it through Tiber's neck. "Pathetic human", he muttered as he walked away...

Tiber awoke three days later in a small room. The doctor saw he was awake and screamed in terror. "ZOMBIE", he said as he ran in utter terror. Tiber looked around, it wasn't a hospital, it was a Morgue...Tiber felt around his neck as he remembered the battle, the utter screams of his falling men, and the Demon. Anger boiled in the pit of his stomache, he will slay that demon...one day.
A soldier entered the room with a pike. "You're no zombie, but how in the gods name did you survive, no matter, the general will want to see you."
He walked through the camp and looked at the startled faces gazing at him. "Zombie", one muttered. He reached the General's tent and entered. He saw that the General was General Pental.
"Have a seat, Septim", said Pental. "Four-thousand men are dead Septim, thanks to your foolish action, four-thousand men are dead."
"General, I didn't know they were demons, i thought they were guards", Tiber whispered with strain due to his neck injury.
"Did I teach you nothing, or did it not go through to you, analyze the situation, then strike", said Pental
"What has happened to the enemies' fort said Tiber
"I took over the situation and went there, but by the time I arrived they had all abandoned the fort", said Pental
"Sir...I resign my commision as General", said Tiber
"No Septim, we have an even worse punishment for you..."

two weeks later
Tiber was taken to have an sentancing by the Emperor himself.
"Tiber Septim, your punishment for your misjudgement leading to the loss of human life is banishment from the Empire and all of its provinces, you are to be taken to a foreign land with your twenty-five surviving soldiers and left there, to die or to live..."

"Did you all like that? Wrote it a while back"

Verll dives into the Beer pool

*Septim starts to clean a glass.

*Verll kicks Aurelius

"I SWALLOWED TO MUCH BEER!!!!!"

*Cries a little*

"How could he do such a horrible thing? Our beer pool... why her and not me? He could haved peed on me... Why?"

*Drinks a lot from the beer barrels to forget his sorrow*
