Laloriaran Dynar (meaning "Ruler in Dark Times") was the famous Last King of the Ayleids. He ruled the city of Nenalata in Cyrodiil and founded the city of Bisnensel in High Rock. In the Second Era, he played a prominent role in stopping Molag Bal's Planemeld.
History
King of Nenalata
Laloriaran Dynar was born in Nenalata, an Ayleid city located on the eastern shore of the Niben Bay at the mouth of Silverfish River. Sometime between 1E 263 and 1E 331 he became the king of the city-state. During the first years of the young Alessian Empire, he opposed the cruel Ayleid slavemasters and helped the Alessians fight them. In return, Nenalata was incorporated to the Empire as a vassal city-state. This allowed Nenalata to last longer than most of the other Ayleid city-states.
With the rise of the Alessian Order in 1E 300s, the remaining vassal-states dwindled, and soon Nenalata became the last of them. In the years 1E 372-374, King Dynar was given an ultimatum by the Alessian Emperor. He and his people were eventually forced to abandon Nenalata and flee to High Rock in order to escape the anti-Ayleid pogroms.
The Founding of Bisnensel
In High Rock, King Dynar and his people were welcomed by the Direnni clan. After displacing previous Orc residents, they settled on the shores of the Halcyon Lake. There, King Dynar founded a new city of Bisnensel, which was a miniature copy of Nenalata.
In the years 1E 453-460, the Primeval Seekers, a cult devoted to Hermaeus Mora, was formed in Bisnensel. Their leader, High Priest Uluscant, demanded more of a say in municipal affairs as the cult grew in power. King Dynar denied his demands. As a result, after a few months he was deposed and forced to flee from Bisnensel.
Battle of Glenumbra Moors
King Dynar and his family fled to Balfiera, where they were granted asylum among the Direnni. Later, Dynar became a highly-regarded tactician and strategist in the Direnni army.
In the late 400s, the Alessian Order invaded High Rock. The invasion culminated in the great battle of Glenumbra Moors, in which King Dynar also took part. The battle was won by the Direnni and was a fatal blow to the Alessian Order.
Return to Nenalata and Imprisonment
In the years 1E 482-484, King Dynar returned to the Heartland and was lured to Nenalata, where he fell into Molag Bal's trap and was imprisoned in Coldharbour, in a replica of the White-Gold Tower. There he remained for over three thousand years.
Other sources state that King Dynar was not captured by Molag Bal in Nenalata, but instead was present in the Hollow City while it was still in Cyrodiil, was pushed into Coldharbour along with it, and captured shortly afterwards.
Thwarting the Planemeld
In the year 2E 582, King Dynar was finally freed by the Vestige, who infiltrated Coldharbour with the Fighters and Mages Guilds in an effort to stop Molag Bal's terrible Planemeld. The Ayleid king assumed command over the Fighters Guild forces, who had been leaderless after their captain had been slain. The invasion force, led by the Vestige and aided by Meridia, eventually managed to stop the Planemeld inside the Planar Vortex, but King Dynar was mortally wounded while trying to close a Daedric portal. He died soon afterwards in the Hollow City, in Meridia's Chapel of Light.
Legacy
In 3E 433, the crown of King Dynar (whose name had apparently become forgotten by then) was in possession of an Imperial scholar of the Ayleids named Herminia Cinna. A rival collector named Umbacano sent the Champion of Cyrodiil to obtain the crown, which he wanted to use to transform himself into the King of Nenalata and restore the Ayleid civilization. Cinna, however, did not want to sell it, instead hoping to trick Umbacano into accepting the Crown of Lindai. It is unknown which crown the Champion chose to deliver to Umbacano. Regardless, the latter was killed later that year during an expedition to Nenalata.
