Pelinal went on to slay many more Elven rulers in similar duels. One of his more famous duels was with Haromir of Copper and Tea in the duel at the Tor, where Pelinal "ate his neck-veins while screaming praise to Reman, a name that no one knew yet." He did not participate in much traditional warfare, but rather targeted the higher-ranking members of Ayleid culture by challenging them to prearranged duels to play to their pride. In the days of the Rebellion, Pelinal was the enemy of all Elves that lived in Cyrodiil. As such, Pelinal became champion of Alessia alongside her demiprince lover Morihaus, Breath-of-Kyne. When he heard of her defiance against the Elves, he came to her at a rebel camp holding his mace and sword, both encrusted with smashed Elven intestines, as well as the sacred Ayleid symbols of feathers and pearls, and joined her cause for freedom. "These were their eastern chieftains, no longer full of their talking." ―Pelinal Whitestrake īefore Alessia started her rebellion in 1E 242, Pelinal had already begun fighting against the Ayleid armies in Cyrodiil. Pelinal was said to have first appeared in the late Merethic Era under various aliases where he wandered Tamriel gathering armies, conquering lands, ruling, then abandoning his kingdoms to wander again. Pelinal, however, is an exception, as he exhibits significant bonds to Akatosh as well, as he had the Amulet of Kings in his chest in place of a heart. Described by Morihaus as an ada or spirit, Pelinal plays the same role as a long line of avatars sent by Shezarr to champion the cause of mankind and stop the Elves from destroying them. It is said that Pelinal emerged into Nirn like a Padomaic, carried by Sithis and all other forces of change.
