The {{Lore Link|Akaviri Potentate}} is the name given to the period of the [[Lore:Second Empire|Second Empire]] after the assassination of [[Lore:Reman III|Reman III]] and the end of the [[Lore:Reman Dynasty|Reman Dynasty]]. Additionally, it is the title given to the rulers of [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]] both during this period and during the earlier years of the empire.{{Ref|name=PGE1C|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Cyrodiil}}}}
Under the Remans, the emperor's chief advisor was called the '''Potentate'''.{{Ref|name=PGE1C}} In the battle of [[Lore:Pale Pass|Pale Pass]], [[Lore:Reman|Reman I]] decisively defeated an [[Lore:Akaviri|Akaviri]] invasion but other events forced him to offer the defeated army amnesty in return for their service in his own army. This led to Akaviri influence in other spheres of life, and over time the position of Potentate was usually filled by one of the snake people.{{Ref|name=PGE1C}} In the year {{Year|1E 2920}}, the Potentate [[Lore:Versidue-Shaie|Versidue-Shaie]] plotted to overthrow the empire.

In the same speech, he declared the end of the [[Lore:First Era|First Era]] and the start of the [[Lore:Second Era|Second]].{{Ref|name=2920ES}}
In order to suppress armies remaining loyal to the Remans, as well as the armies belonging to individual kingdoms seeking greater autonomy, Versidue-Shaie was forced to engage in a relentless series of campaigns that, by the year {{Year|2E 283}}, finally resulted in victory for his forces.{{Ref|name=HotFG|{{Cite book|History of the Fighters Guild}}}} The cost of the campaigns was immense, resulting in the impoverishment of both the empire and its constituent kingdoms and in an effort to maintain order without the expense of a standing army, in {{Year|2E 321}} Versidue-Shaie agreed to a proposal from his kinsman Dinieras-Ves that established what was to become known as the [[Lore:Fighters Guild|Fighters Guild]].{{Ref|name=FGC|{{Cite book|Fighters Guild Charter}}}}
In {{Year|2E 324}}, Versidue-Shaie was assassinated by the nascent [[Lore:Morag Tong|Morag Tong]]{{Ref|name=BoD|{{Cite book|The Brothers of Darkness}}}}{{Ref|name=FaD|{{Cite book|Fire and Darkness}}}} and succeeded by his son, [[Lore:Savirien-Chorak|Savirien-Chorak]]. In turn, he was assassinated along with all his heirs on one night in Sun's Dawn {{Year|2E 430}}, bringing a final end to the Second Empire and signaling the start of the [[Lore:Interregnum|Interregnum]].{{Ref|name=BoD}}<noinclude>
==Notes==
* {{Lore Link|Sidri-Ashak}} was an obscure and lesser known potentate. He is perhaps best known for {{Lore Link|Standing Stones#Runestones|five runestones}} dotted across the Imperial province that bear his name. He advised Emperor {{Lore Link|Brazollus Dor}}, who ruled between the reigns of {{Lore Link|Reman II}} and {{Lore Link|Reman III}}. Neither interested nor skilled in matters of state, Emperor Dor left most of the governing to him, and he proved to be a capable statesman.{{ref|name=HKEAYQ|{{Cite book|High King Emeric Answers Your Questions}}}}
