actually tamriel was origonally just elves, the other continants had man, some people from atmora and yokunda came and settled so tamrial has both man and mer, akavir has shown at ionoth that it doesnt tolerate foriegn visitors so i dought any elves settled there.

although im not sure on the origon on the beast races so there may be some races other than man.
