High Priest Zuladr, opponent of Jezerei's rule

Queen Jezerei, also known as the Strumpet Queen, was the ruler of Hammerfell during an unknown period of history, at some point before 2E 582. While details about her reign are sparse, some accounts depict her as a ruthless leader notorious for her brutal deeds and bloody crimes. She commissioned several extravagant Diamond-Tooth Cat Combs, which were jeweled combs crafted for her.

Long after her reign, in 2E 582 her combs were among the curios that could be found around Tamriel during the Interregnum of the Seond Era.

During that period, High Priest Zuladr of the High Temple of Satakalaam invoked Queen Jezerei’s name in his biased sermons, aimed at disparaging women. He cited her alleged bloody crimes, referring to them alongside the Tale of the Temptress Shakhari and various feminine creatures like Hags, Harpies, and Hagravens. This account was recorded by the Unveiled Azadiyeh, Songbird of Satakalaam, a Crown historian who opposed Zuladr's views.

Notes

• 1.

  As of 2E 582, names of several High Kings and Queens preceeding King Fahara'jad, who ruled the Hammerell during the Interregnum, were known. Jezerei was not among them, implying that her reign preceded the times of several of the important figures of the Phyllocid Dynasty. It is also unknown whether or not she belonged to this dynasty.
