This open rebellion helped prompt Clan Direnni's excursions into Cyrodiil and ultimately the collapse of the Alessian Empire. Towards the end of the fifth century, the Kings of the Colovian West joined with Kvatch and Skingrad to resist the Alessian army and its Reform. The king's daughter Belene was wed to Prince Rislav Larich of Skingrad, presumably to make peace between the two kingdoms. Their skirmishing ended in 1E 472, during which time Kvatch was under rule of King Justinius.
During the fifth century of the First Era, the kingdoms of Kvatch and Skingrad were rivals. In the early days of Cyrodiil, in the wake of the Alessian Doctrines, there were three lords that formed a regency council over the Kingdom of Kvatch circa 1E 361, one of them being Lord Nunex Faleria.
