Elder Scrolls

The Elder Scrolls is a computer and game console adventure game series developed by Bethesda Softworks. The game series is generally set in the planet of Nirn on the continent of Tamriel, and in the co-existing realm of Oblivion. Tamriel exists in the mortal realm of Mundus, while the realm of Oblivion is typically ruled by otherworldly creatures commonly known as Daedra.

The Elder Scrolls game series can be broadly construed as a combination action-adventure/role-playing games. One of the unique characteristics of the Elder Scrolls games is their incredible flexibility in gameplay and their focus on a skill-based approach to an individual player's character development. With the exception of Battlespire, the Elder Scrolls series is a single-player game series. The free-form RPG style of gameplay has resulted in a large fanbase for the Elder Scrolls series; hence the popularity and proliferation of fan sites dedicated to one or more games in the series.
