The remaining population was driven out by King Harald by 1E 143. Set to destroy the Snow Elf population, the Snow Prince was killed during the Battle of Moesring by Finna, a 12-year-old girl whose mother was killed in front of her by the Prince. Only Ysgramor and his two sons escaped slaughter and returned to Skyrim with the Five Hundred Companions. Snow Elves attacked the Nords during the Night of Tears and destroyed the city of Saarthal, with the remains still visible south of Winterhold. Snow Elves had already colonized Skyrim and lived in harmony with the Nords until tensions rose as the Nordic popular surpassed the natives. During a great civil war, Ysgramor sailed south from Atmora, landing in Hsarrik Head in Skyrim, where the College of Winterhold now sits. The Nords were first known as Atmorans from the northern continent Atmora.
