The [[{{NAMESPACE}}:{{#ifeq:{{PAGENAME}}|The Imperial City|The_}}Imperial City|Imperial City]] (also known as '''Cyrodiil City''') is the capital of {{Lore Link|Cyrodiil}} and the whole of the {{Lore Link|Empire}}. The circular city is located on City Isle, an island in {{Lore Link|Lake Rumare}} in the Nibenay Valley at the center of the Imperial province. At the middle is the {{Lore Link|Green Emperor Way}} district, containing the {{Lore Link|Imperial Palace}} and its {{Lore Link|White-Gold Tower}}. Surrounding it are six districts, starting in the northeast and going clockwise:
{|class=hiddentable
|
*{{Lore Link|Market District}}{{NamespaceText|OB=| (or {{Lore Link|Memorial District}})}}
*{{Lore Link|Arena District}}
*{{Lore Link|Arboretum}}
*{{Lore Link|Temple District}}
*{{Lore Link|Talos Plaza District}}{{NamespaceText|OB=| (or {{Lore Link|Nobles District}})}}
*{{Lore Link|Elven Gardens District}}
|}
Also on the island is the {{Lore Link|Arcane University}}, the {{Lore Link|Prison District|Imperial Prison}} and the {{Lore Link|Waterfront_District|Waterfront}}, which is the harbor of the Imperial City. A single bridge connects the island to the mainland near Weye. Roads lead from the capital in all directions.<noinclude>
The city has an extensive underground. The sewers connect up with the crumbling substructures, which in turn break into the many natural caverns on the island. The White-Gold Tower in particular has a vast basement system, which links into an [[Lore:Ayleids|Ayleid]] ruin known as the Hall of Epochs. This underground system is a haven for those who don't wish to be found. Bandits, [[Lore:Goblin|goblins]] and [[Lore:Vampire|vampires]] dwell in the sewers, and occasionally endanger the above-ground inhabitants.{{Ref|[[OBMobile:A Town Terrified|Wesley]] circa {{Year|3E 433}}}} The basements beneath the Imperial Palace were used as a refuge for [[Lore:Jagar Tharn|Jagar Tharn]] and his servants. Many secret passages, such as the ''Old Way'', are used by the [[Lore:Blades|Blades]] to move around the city, but using them poses serious risks.
[[Lore:Uriel Septim VII|Emperor Uriel Septim VII]] was assassinated by the [[Lore:Mythic Dawn|Mythic Dawn]] in one of these passages, below the Prison District.
Some time in the early [[Lore:Fourth Era|Fourth Era]], when the [[Lore:Third Empire|Third Empire]] had dissolved and all Tamriel was in chaos, {{Lore Link|Titus Mede}} captured the city with a mere 1000 men and crowned himself the first Emperor of a new dynasty.{{Ref|{{Cite book|The Infernal City|ns=Books}}}}
In 4E 174, in the height of the {{Lore Link|Great War}} between the {{Lore Link|Aldmeri Dominion}} and the Empire, Thalmor troops burned the city in the infamous Sacking of the Imperial City. The Imperial Palace was burned, the White-Gold Tower was looted, and all manners of atrocities were carried out on the innocent populace by the vengeful Thalmor army.
