The [[Lore:Soulburst|Soulburst]] of {{Year|2E 578}} (or {{Year|2E 579}}) was a massive explosion of arcane energy which sundered the veil between {{Lore Link|Nirn}} and {{Lore Link|Oblivion}}, and disrupted the connection between the {{Lore Link|souls}} of the denizens of Nirn and their mortal hosts. The {{Lore Link|Elder Scrolls}} themselves named this event after it was set into motion.{{ref|name=Prophet|[[Online:The Prophet|The Prophet]]'s dialogue in ESO}}
The necromancer {{Lore Link|Mannimarco}} had convinced the Cyrodilic Emperor {{Lore Link|Varen Aquilarios}} that, despite not being {{Lore Link|Dragonborn}}, as all true emperors must be, if they slightly modified the coronation ritual, they would be able to both relight the {{Lore Link|Dragonfires}} and convince {{Lore Link|Akatosh}} to gift Varen with the blood of a dragon.{{ref|name=CotFC|{{Cite book|Chronicles of the Five Companions}}}} However, Mannimarco corrupted the {{Lore Link|Amulet of Kings}}, and, by performing the ritual, Varen broke the divine covenant of Akatosh and {{Lore Link|Alessia}} which protected Nirn from the forces of Oblivion.
As the veil shattered, a wave of magical energy radiated outwards from the {{Lore Link|Imperial City}}, and the Emperor Aquilarios was lost in the explosion. Mystical aftershocks propagated all across the planet, as mages died or went mad, while the constellation of {{Lore Link|the Serpent}} grew so large it dominated the night sky. Nirn became vulnerable to the forces of Oblivion, as Daedra began appearing in greater numbers than ever before. {{Lore Link|Molag Bal}}, the Daedric Prince of Domination and Mannimarco's master, seized the opportunity to begin disconnecting the souls of Nirn from their hosts to fuel the {{Lore Link|Planemeld}}, an attempt to merge his realm of {{Lore Link|Coldharbour}} with Nirn.{{ref|name=ESO|Events of [[Online:Online|Elder Scrolls Online]]}}
The Imperial City {{Lore Link|Mages Guild}} was blamed for the explosion and expelled from the city by the {{Lore Link|Elder Council}}, with control of the {{Lore Link|Arcane University}} given over to the "Fellowship of Anchorites" (a pseudonym for Mannimarco's {{Lore Link|Order of the Black Worm|Worm Cult}}).{{ref|name=CATAYQ2|{{Cite book|Chancellor Abnur Tharn Answers Your Questions 2}}}}
