Hahd is ostensibly an underwater country below the tip of what was once the Dellesian peninsula. Its government is not recognized by any under Imperial authority. As its people, also called Hahd, have made no trouble whatsoever for anyone in history (save once), this same government has never been contested, either. That Hahd is documented here at all is because of the singular time the Republic had an effect on Tamrielic affairs (which also marks the first time any of the known peoples had heard of it), and by some kind and enabling words of a mapmaker.

Hahd est officiellement un pays sous l'eau au-dessous de la pointe de ce qui fut autrefois la péninsule de Dellesian. Son gouvernement n'est pas reconnu par l'autorité impériale. Comme son peuple, également appelé Hahd, n'a fait aucun problème que ce soit pour n'importe qui dans l'histoire (sauf une fois), ce même gouvernement a jamais été contesté, soit. Que Hahd est documenté ici tout est à cause du temps singulier ou la République avait un effet sur les affaires de Tamriel (qui marque également la première fois que les peuples connus avaient entendu parler d'elle) et par certains genre et habilitation des mots d'un cartographe.

In the early third era, the Altmeri Keepers of the Orrery of Firsthold suddenly paid tariffs to the Empire on behalf of the Republic of Hahd for "submersible exports of mnemolichite to the Emirates of Nahd". While the Septim Regime was glad to receive the not un-trivial amount of the tariff expense, it did demand to know three things: one, what and where was Hahd, two, what exactly was mnemolichite, and three, what and where was Nahd.

Au début de la Troisième Ère, les gardiens Altmers du Planétaire de Primeterre avait payé soudainement les tarifs à l'Empire au nom de la République d'Hahd pour « exportations submersibles de mnemolichite pour l’Émirats du Nahd ». Tandis que le régime Septim était heureux de recevoir la quantité non-insignifiante de la dépense tarifaire, il a fait la demande de savoir trois choses : un, ce qui et où était Hahd, deux, ce qui était exactement mnemolichite et trois, quoi et où était Nahd.

When the Altmer had no answers to any of this, the Ruby Throne grew suspicious and mustered its Armada to make sail. An offended Alinor responded by withdrawing all of its sunbirds from the Pyadonean line to meet the Empire. Just before emissaries from both sides of the imminent battle were about to give up disentangling the mounting myriad of accusations, a book from Hahd arrived by an undisclosed courier to "explain everything whereby these hostilities may cease."

Lorsque les Altmers n’avaient aucune réponse à tout cela, le Trône de Rubis était devenu soupçonneux et avait rassemblé son Armada pour faire voile. Alinor, offensé a répondu en retirant tous ses Oiseaux solaires de la ligne de Pyandonée pour répondre à l'Empire. Juste avant que les émissaires des deux côtés de la bataille imminente étaient sur le point de renoncer à démêler la myriade de montage d'accusations, un livre d’Hahd arriva par un courrier non divulgué pour « expliquer tout par lequel ces hostilités pouvaient cesser. »

This book was studied by a joint committee of Altmeri and Cyrodilic officials and watched over by an impartial Psijiic of the recently-returned Artaeum. It described the Republic in little detail, only enough to give its supposed location far below the waters of Dellesia. The committee agreed that such a habitat as depicted in the book was impossible (for one, the Hahd described themselves as air-breathers that never needed to break the surface of the sea). This unlikelihood was eventually cemented as an outright falsehood by civilized dreughs living near that region. They had never heard of the Republic of Hahd, and no intellectual of Tamriel ever argued with the cepholomer at that time.

Cet ouvrage fut étudié par un Comité mixte de fonctionnaires Altmers et Impériaux qui fut surveillait par un Psijiique impartiale de l’Île d'Artaeum récemment rentré. Le livre décrivait la République en peu de détails, assez seulement pour donner son emplacement supposé bien en dessous des eaux de Dellesia. Le Comité avait convenu qu'un habitat tel que représentait dans le livre était impossible (car, la république d’Hahd se décrivit comme un répit d’aire qui n’avait jamais besoin de briser la surface de la mer). Cette improbabilité a été finalement cimentée comme un mensonge pur et simple par des dreughs civilisés vivant près de la région. Les dreughs n'avaient jamais entendu parler de la République d’Hahd et aucun intellectuel de Cyrodiil n’avait parlait avec les cepholomers à l'époque.

On the separate cases of the Emirates of Nahd and the mineral called mnemolichite, the Republic's explanations for both were the same: they were figments of imagination, a kingdom and a treasure made popular in the Republic by their recurrence in its many fables, underwater campfire stories, and stageplays.
  
−
Sur les cas distincts de l'Emirat du Nahd et le minéral appelé mnemolichite, l’explication de la République pour les deux étaient les mêmes : ils étaient tombés de l'imagination, un Royaume et un Trésor rendu populaire dans la République par leur récurrence dans ses nombreuses fables, histoires de feu de camp sous l'eau et pièce de théâtre.
+
"We are not a very creative folk," the Hahd admitted, "But we always enjoy hearing about the fantastical heroes of sandy Nahd and the wondrous powers of mnemolichite because of the delight that their impossibilities bring to our hearts."
  
−
« Nous ne sommes pas un folk très créatif, » a admis la république d’Hahd, « mais nous entendons toujours parler des héros fantastiques du Nahd sableux et les pouvoirs merveilleux des mnemolichites, du plaisir que leurs impossibilités apportent à nos coeurs.».

Obviously, what the book failed to properly explain was the impetus for the payment of Firsthold tariffs in the first place. After a fifty-year study of the book and its Republic, the committee went back to analyzing the only thing that might shed light on this matter: the financial logs of Firsthold and those payments sent from the Orrery Keepers to the Imperial Treasury. By this time, however, both the pertinent parties-- the Altmeri paymaster and the Cyrodilic Clerk of Tithes Submersible-- had long since been replaced, leaving only their records of the by-now bewildering transactions behind. Another fifty-year investigation of these materials ensued. In the end, unraveling anything more about the Republic of Hahd and its mysterious manipulation of Firsthold was deemed futile by both Cyrodiil and Summerset; the surviving members of the joint committee were finally dismissed and sent home in 3E230.

De toute évidence, ce que le livre n'a pas correctement expliqué était l'impulsion pour le paiement des droits de douane de Primeterre en premier lieu. Après cinquante ans d'étude du livre et de la République, le Comité est retourné à analyser la seule chose qui pourrait faire la lumière sur cette affaire : les journaux financiers de ces paiements envoyés par les gardiens planétaire pour le Trésor impérial et de Primeterre.

That same year, the Isle of Artaeum disappeared again. Reluctant rescue operations in and about the Blue Divide discovered no survivors of this new version of the phenomenon and no signs of misdeed mundane or magical; all agreed that the Psijics were up to their own tricks again, and the advent of the Mages Guild made this an unworthy endeavor to pursue further. A few days later, however, sailors aboard the NWN frigate Colleen, on its way back to the Iliac to put down more Haymonic insurgency, discovered a book in its dragging nets. It was entitled, "The Dervish of Dellesia and the Mnemolichite Maid." Quite by chance, the captain of the Colleen, Davidius Eel, was a great-nephew of one of the members of the joint committee that had obsessed over the Republic of Hahd for a hundred years.

À cette époque, cependant, les deux parties pertinents -l'agent payeur Altmer et le greffier Impériaux des dîmes Submersible- avaient depuis longtemps été remplacé, laissant seulement leurs dossiers de la part ahurissante  derrière les transactions. Une autre enquête de cinquante ans de ces matériaux s'ensuivit.  En fin de compte, percer quoi que ce soit plus sur la République d’Hahd et sa manipulation mystérieuse de Primeterre a été jugée futile par Cyrodiil et l’Archipel de l’Automne ; les membres survivants du Comité mixte ont été finalement rejetées et renvoyés chez eux en 3E230.

Captain Eel began to read the manuscript immediately, if only out of a blood-guilt to restore the unsatisfied honor of his ancestor. He was only a few paragraphs in when he realized, to his astonishment, the book's true nature. It was not, as its title might suggest, a fable about Nahd from the denizens of Hahd, '''but rather a fable about Hahd from some unknown writer of Nahd'''. The eponymous dervish was some kind of "air-breathing sea-soldier, formerly of the Republican Guard", who was either protecting or wooing "that maiden to first hold the star-minerals of heaven". Perhaps most troubling was the author ("a humble Nahd of Nahd") and his nearly rote-written preface, which clearly, if uncreatively, indicated that the book was part of a large series or maybe even a shared universe, whose twin anchor points were always the same: an obsession with Hahd and the "powers" of mnemolichite. The latter was never adequately explained in the manuscript, nor has it ever been.

La même année, l'île d’Artaeum disparaît. Des opérations de sauvetage réticent du Fossé Bleu  ne découvrira aucun survivant de cette nouvelle version du phénomène et aucun signe de méfait banal ou magique ; tous ont convenu que les Psijiques étaient jusqu'à leurs propres astuces encore une fois, et l'avènement de la Guilde des Mages avait fait un effort indigne pour poursuivre plus loin. Quelques jours plus tard, cependant,  les marins à bord de la frégate NWN Colleen, sur son chemin vers la baie d’llliaque afin de mettre plus d’insurrection d’haymonique, découvrit un livre dans ses filets langoureux.

It is the belief of this Survey Agent that any description of the true nature of mnemolichite was as unneeded for the story's intended audience as an explanation of the sun's true nature would be for a citizen of Tamriel. It '''was''' also the belief of this Survey Agent that the regions of Hahd and Nahd not be written of here at all, since no real answers of their disparate (?) peoples, lands, or cultural make will likely surface, and that that futility is not befitting of our society. It is to my great friend and colleague, Senior Cartographer Rinmaut, that I dedicate this lengthy passage to him and his words of convincing, "Those places that cannot be mapped, they should never cry avast to our pens to stop and try."

Il avait été intitulé « Le derviche de la servante de Mnemolichite et de Dellesia. » Tout à fait par hasard, le capitaine de la Colleen, Davidius , a été un grand-neveu de l'un des membres de la Commission mixte qui fut obsédé au cours d’une centaine d’années de la République de Hahd.

Capitaine Eel a commencé à lire le manuscrit immédiatement, d'une culpabilité de sang à restaurer l'honneur insatisfait de son ancêtre. Il avait lu seulement quelques paragraphes lorsqu'il réalisa, à son grand étonnement, la vraie nature du livre. Il n'était pas, comme son titre pourrait laisser entendre, une fable sur Nahd par les habitants de Hahd, ''' mais plutôt une fable sur Hahd d'un auteur inconnu du Nahd'' '.

Le derviche éponyme était une sorte de «soldat, anciennement de la garde républicaine », qui avait soit protéger ou courtiser « cette jeune fille pour contenir tout d'abord les mineraux céleste du ciel ». Peut-être que l’auteur est plus inquiétant (« un humble Nahd du Nahd ») que son titre préface, qui, sa non-créativité, indiquait clairement que le livre était partie d'une grande série ou peut-être même un univers commun, dont les points d'ancrage jumeaux étaient toujours les mêmes : une obsession d’Hahd et les « pouvoirs » de mnemolichite. Ce dernier ne la jamais expliquer dans le manuscrit.

C'est la croyance de cet Agent d'enquête que toute description de la véritable nature de mnemolichite était aussi inutile pour l'auditoire de l'histoire,  comme une explication de la nature véritable du soleil serait pour un citoyen de Cyrodiil. Il avait également la croyance de cet Agent d'enquête que les régions de Hahd et Nahd ne fut écrite d'ici, depuis aucune réponse véritable de  sur leurs peuples disparates, de terres ou culturel sera susceptible de surface, et que que futilité n'est pas digne de notre société. C'est mon grand ami et collègue, principal cartographe Rinmaut, que je dédie ce long passage pour lui et ses mots convaincants : « ces lieux qui ne peut pas être placées, ils devraient jamais pleurer à nos plumes pour arrêter et essayer. »

Modèle:Texte obscur Hahd is ostensibly an underwater country below the tip of what was once the Dellesian peninsula. Its government is not recognized by any under Imperial authority. As its people, also called Hahd, have made no trouble whatsoever for anyone in history (save once), this same government has never been contested, either.
