Akavir which translates as The Dragon land is a land shrouded in mystery. There are a few great books that cover some general ideas of the continent of Akavir. The in game books are
 * Moved to the lore forums*
 * Mysterious Akavir-A general overview of the different lands of Akavir, including the Tsaecsi, Ka'Po Tun, Tang Mo, and Kamal.
 * Report: Disaster at Ionith- Chronicles the failed invasion of Akavir by Uriel Septim V.
 * 2920, The Last Year of the First Era- Versidu-Shaie, a Tsaesci, is potentate of the Cyrodiilic Empire and plays a large part in the story.

Most of our first hand accounts come from the Tsaesci, they have invaded Tamriel multiple times. The Tsaesci potentates are actually responsible for instituting the guilds, formal military training, and the blades. They are also responsible for killing all the black dragons on Akavir, the red dragons fled west.

The Kamal have invaded Morrowind once, but were destroyed by Almalexia and Wulfharth.

The Ka'Po Tun, which are tiger people, are lead by an immortal who has actually been able to transform into a dragon. They are mortal enemies of the Tsaesci.

This is a very broad overview, if you have questions feel free to ask.
