{{Lore Link|Sancre Tor}} (or the '''Golden Hill''') was a fortified city in {{Lore Link|Colovia}}, located in the {{Lore Link|Jerall Mountains}} north of the city of {{Lore Link|Chorrol}}.{{Ref|{{Map Link|Sancre Tor|ns=Oblivion|Map of Cyrodiil}}}} It is said to be the mythical birthplace and final resting place of {{Lore Link|Reman|Reman Cyrodiil}} and his successors.{{Ref|name=R|{{Cite book|Remanada}}}}{{ref|name=TLST|{{Cite book|The Legendary Sancre Tor}}}} It is notable for the {{Lore Link|Fort Runestones}} placed throughout the complex during the {{Lore Link|First Era}}.{{ref|[[Oblivion:University Lectures|Arcane University lectures]]}}

The founding stories of Sancre Tor are conflicting and shrouded in myth. It is written that {{Lore Link|Alessia}} received the divine inspiration for her [[Lore:Alessian Slave Rebellion|slave rebellion]] at the site of Sancre Tor, and afterwards founded her holy city there.{{ref|name=ON|Events of [[Online:Online|ESO]]}} However, this conflicts with the story of Alessia's youth, where she was raised as a slave in the {{Lore Link|Ayleid}} city of {{Lore Link|Sard}}.{{ref|{{Cite book|The Adabal-a}}}} Another origin myth claims that King {{Lore Link|Hrol}} gave his life by copulating with the spirit of Saint Alessia on the site of Sancre Tor, seemingly impregnating the earth. The small mound of mud left behind by their union soon grew into a small mountain (the "Golden Hill", also known as Hrol's Hillock), attracting a community of believers to settle there. After nine months, the shepherdess {{Lore Link|Sed-Yenna}} heard a cry from the top of the mountain, and climbed it to find the newborn Reman Cyrodiil, wearing the {{Lore Link|Chim-el Adabal}} on his forehead.{{Ref|name=R}}

Regardless of its origins, the city fell into ruin following the fall of the {{Lore Link|Reman Dynasty}}. Many heroes and noblemen were buried in the crypts, including the Remans and their {{Lore Link|Dragonguard}} protectors. After its abandonment, Sancre Tor became a dark place, haunted by vast numbers of undead. Some time after the {{Lore Link|Soulburst}} of {{Year|2E 579}}, {{Lore Link|Sai Sahan}} and {{Lore Link|Kasura}} hid the {{Lore Link|Amulet of Kings}} in the ruins of Sancre Tor before being captured by {{Lore Link|Molag Bal}}. In {{Year|2E 582}}, the reformed {{Lore Link|Five Companions}} entered the ruins in an attempt to retrieve it. {{Lore Link|Mannimarco}} swiftly followed, raising more undead from their graves in an attempt to stop them. However, he was defeated in battle by the [[Lore:Hero|Soulless One]] after revealing his plans to usurp Bal's godhead. He was then pulled into {{Lore Link|Coldharbour}} for his treachery, allowing the Companions to escape with the Amulet.{{ref|name=ON}}

By the late {{Lore Link|Second Era}}, Sancre Tor had once again become inhabited. In {{Year|2E 852}}, the city was captured by invading forces from [[Lore:High Rock|High Rock]] and [[Lore:Skyrim|Skyrim]].{{Ref|name=BoST|{{Cite book|Battle of Sancre Tor}}}} General [[Lore:Talos|Talos]], who would later become {{Lore Link|Tiber Septim}}, recaptured the city that winter.{{Ref|name=BoST}} However, the city was in a strategically inconvenient position, and was abandoned to again fall into ruins.{{ref|name=TLST}} Septim would later be fatally wounded at a battle of Sancre Tor, where he died and ascended to become one of the {{Lore Link|Nine Divines}}.{{ref|[[OBMobile:Narrative|Oblivion Mobile dialogue]]}} The Blades built a shrine in the catacombs of Sancre Tor, on the spot where he had received the blessing of {{Lore Link|Akatosh}}.{{Ref|name=OBJauffre|[[Oblivion:Jauffre|Jauffre]]'s dialogue in [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]]}} It then served as a place of pilgrimage for the Blades for many years.

The old fortress of Sancre Tor was later corrupted by the [[Lore:Underking|Underking]], prompting it to be sealed shut by the Grandmaster of the {{Lore Link|Blades}} in the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Tiber Septim.{{ref|name=OB|Scripted message in Oblivion}} The four mightest blades of the time, Alain, Valdemar, Rielus, and Casnar, never returned from the ruins and were cursed to undeath.{{Ref|name=OBJauffre}} In the years after Tiber Septim's reign it was gradually forgotten, decaying into a haunted ruin. The {{Lore Link|Hero|Champion of Cyrodiil}} visited the ruins in {{Year|3E 433}} to recover the armor of Tiber Septim, unsealing the ruins with the approval of the Blades. After freeing the four ancient Blades from undeath, their spirits aided the Champion in entering the Reman crypt and recovering the armor.{{Ref|name=OBBOTD|[[Oblivion:Blood of the Divines|Events]] of Oblivion}} The Champion was also aided by a mysterious guardian known as Baynham.{{ref|[[OBMobile:Blood of the Divine|Events]] of [[OBMobile:Oblivion Mobile|Oblivion Mobile]]}}<noinclude>

==Tomb of the Reman Emperors==
Within the main chamber of the catacombs are five tombs beloning to Reman I, II and III, along with two other unknown rulers. The epitaphs on the gravestones are:

:Reman: ''"Here lies Reman of Cyrodiil. He defeated the Akaviri Horde and brought peace to Tamriel. 2762."''
:Reman II: ''"Here lies Reman II of Cyrodiil, crowned Emperor of Tamriel in the year 2812. He fell in battle against the Dark Elves, in the fifty-seventh year of his age, after a reign of thirty-nine years and eight months wanting a day."''
:Reman III: ''"Here lies Reman III, last Emperor of the Cyrodiils, the scourge of the Dark Elves, who was cruelly slain by treachery, in the year 2920. He reigned forty-three years."''
