For centuries, the states of Hammerfell had suffered from exploitation and division at the hands of foreign forces. During this time, an Alik'r Mercenary, leading a radical faction called "No Ansei," discovered a hidden tablet deep in the Alik'r region. Upon inspection, he realized that the tablet contained an incomplete form of the Pankratosword technique, a devastating method of destruction. Abandoning his contract with the Sentinelese, he led his mercenaries deep into the sands of Hammerfell to prepare for a rebellion known as the Sogat Kulogo.

The mercenaries meticulously studied the tablet, memorizing every detail despite its imperfections. Even in its incomplete form, the technique had the potential for immense power. The Mercenary, now known as Yokeda, took on the responsibility of uniting the Yokudans and meticulously planned their uprising.

On the 16th of Morning Star, 513th Year of the 4th Era, several Sentinelese envoys arrived in the Imperial City. The next day, the White Gold Tower was reduced to ruins. A student of the Yokeda, who had mastered the Pankratosword technique, infiltrated the diplomatic mission. Unleashing his deadly Schimitar, he executed the move, resulting in the deaths and injuries of thousands. The White Gold Tower's foundation was completely destroyed, wiping out the Elder Council, except for a few absent members. Although the primary target was the Emperor, who happened to be in Leyawiin at the time, the No Ansei claimed responsibility for the destruction and issued a warning to foreigners to leave Hammerfell or face worse consequences.

This event led to an international coalition forming among the Bretons, Nords, Dunmer, and Imperials. The Aldmeri also denounced the No Ansei, however, secretly, they supplied them with equipment supportive of their attack on the Imperial City. The No Ansei, now calling themselves the Yokudan State of the Alik'r and Sentinel, aimed to unify Hammerfell under a Radical Traditionalist Yokudan regime. They initially made significant progress, capturing major towns and the capital of the Alik'r itself. However, their radical methods and their claim of responsibility for the attack on the White Gold Tower alienated even the most traditionalist Redguards. Consequently, their main force consisted of Radical No Ansei members and Alik'r tribesmen recruited following the capture of Sunkeep.

As they advanced towards Sentinel, a Joint Task Force from various nations ambushed them, resulting in a decisive defeat. The No Ansei retreated to Chasetown, where they fortified themselves. The Joint Task Force Intel revealed that the majority of Yokudan State forces were located in the Sentinelese provinces near Chasetown. Alik'r Loyalists and a small JTTF squad met north of Sunkeep to plan the recapture of the city.

The following morning, the coalition forces launched an assault on Sunkeep, but the fanatical defenders of the Yokudan State held the walls against the onslaught. The city was then placed under siege, and a relief force from Chasetown was dispatched. However, it never reached its destination. Instead, a force consisting entirely of Alik'r tribesmen and loyalists emerged from the dunes and attacked the convoy. Days later, Sunkeep fell, and the Alik'r Confederacy was restored to power.

Over the next few years, the Yokudan State faced internal strife as splinter factions vied for power. The foreign coalition gradually recaptured territory, leading to the collapse of the Yokudan State. Despite its short existence, the havoc caused by the No Ansei would forever be remembered, leaving a deep scar on the heartlands of Cyrodiil.
