The beached Prowler, later restored to seaworthiness

The Gold Fleet was a major expeditionary naval force of the First Aldmeri Dominion, active circa 2E 582, that was intended to complete a circuit of the Dominion's coastal territories as both a diplomatic gesture and a show of strength.[1][2] Expensive and numerous Altmer ships such as the Falconer and the Peregrine made up the core of the fleet, while a squadron of Khajiit privateer vessels (including the Little Alkosh,[3] the Mara's Teat, the Prowler[4][5] and the Rusty Claw) joined after stopping over in Haven to embark a contingent of Bosmer marines.[3] On approach to Khenarthi's Roost, however, the fleet was swept ashore by a hurricane, running aground in the Shattered Shoals with the loss of all ships save for the Prowler.[6][7][8] Although many—including the fleet commander—perished in the storm,[9] some Dominion sailors survived, and sought refuge in the nearby port of Mistral, which strained the capacity of the local guard to accommodate them all.[10][11][12] To make matters worse, Maormer raiders soon arrived on the beaches to scavenge the wrecks.[8][6]
