With Wayrest being sacked, who is the king of High Rock now? And as a bit of a follow-up question; is the Lion Guard in High Rock still alive?

High Rock doesn´t have a one king. It has many. Kings, dukes, barons. High Rock always consisted of dozens of petty kingdoms. I might have something that might help you understand that.

This is High Rock before the so called Miracle of Peace, or known as Warp in the West. Do you see how many times the word "king" appears on the map? Bretons are a squabbling bunch. Anyone can be knight or king there apparently. 

And this is how it looked by the end of 3rd Era. 4 kingdoms, one being an Orc kingdom ruled from Nova Orsinium. This is basicaly pretty much what we know about High Rock right now, in 4th Era. That two hundred years back it looked like this, 4 kingdoms, 4 kings, under Empire´s rule. 

What we know is that Nova Orsinium and its kingdom is no more. Orcs ran either to Skyrim or to Hammerfell - new Orsinium is actually built between Hammerfell and Skyrim now. 

Another thing we know is that in 188 Wayerest was captured by corsairs. So Wayrest could be pirate city now. If the pirates could hold it. 

My guess is that High Rock has more or less divided into smaller kingdoms again. That´s what Bretons do. 

As for Lion Guard...hm. No info on that, but I don´t think they´re still kicking around. 

Note that the pictures I posted are fan-made, but I like to think about them as quite accurate. 

But if you want more accurate stuff, then here´s Daggerfall map of Illiac Bay before Warp in the West.

See that shit? Even Redguards were broken down into city states too. And how many of them are there, right? 

Thanks for the info, Karver. Looks as if the Bretons are big time into confederalism! Actually, scratch that, it's not even confederalism because they don't even possess a central leader. I'm now even more fascinated as to whether or not the Bretons really have any sort of army. What's your theory of it?

As do I :p

Good question. I tend to think about High Rock as the most medieval province of whole Tamriel. Imagine medieval Europe. There´s a king, then there are barons, marquises, dukes and other similar titles. King rules his kingdom from one city - or castle if you want. Then all the other nobles have their own "pieces" of the land. Each noble has his host of loyal men. Guardsmen, knights. Do Bretons have any sort of army? Yes, sort of. When king calls his bannermen he can put together an army. Game of Thrones? Yeah, something like that. 

And then there are Knightly Orders of course. The Knightly Orders of High Rock. They act as a sort of reserves I think.

Ah, so similar to Game of Thrones like you said. That makes a ton of sense. The Knightly Orders sound interesting, I'm gonna have to do some reading on them. Getting familiar with High Rock's current climate seems to be much more difficult than any other province. 

Is there any other monk-ish style orders in Skyrim outside of the guys on High Hrothgar?  Or if not in Skyrim, elsewhere in Tamriel; specifically that would embrace martial combat without armor?
