Background[]

""Misty hollows filled with gregarious nixads. Hidden lagoons containing singing waters, clear as fresh-blown glass. Flowers that whispered secrets when the wind blew, and stones with names too long for mortal tongues to speak. Such was the island of Artaeum."ā€”Vanus Galerion."
―Artaeum Loading Screen[src]

Artaeum is the home of the Psijic Order, a group of scholarly mystics based out of Ceporah Tower.[1] The island was originally a part of the Summerset archipelago until it disappeard from the face of Nirn when the Psijics placed it into a pocket realm to safeguard their home sometime prior to 2E 282.[2]

The landscape of Artaeum is much the same as the rest of the Summerset Isles, of which it was a part of. The most notable difference is the sky, featuring golden lines outstretched from an array of orbs, a feature of the pocket realm the island resides in. Various structures of typical Altmeri architectures are present,[1] but the island's most significant feature, Ceporah Tower, is noticeably not of Altmeri design, its base having been discovered with the island itself[3] and built by a civilization hundreds of years older than that of the Altmer.[4]
