Northern Elsweyr, also known as Anequina, is a region that appears in The Elder Scrolls Online: Elsweyr. It takes up the northern portion of the province of Elsweyr and is governed from the capital city of Rimmen. The geography of Northern Elsweyr is remarked as being made up of windswept savannas, craggy desert canyons, and dense jungles.[1]
Background[]
- "This region, also known as Anequina, merged with the southern region of Pellitine several centuries ago to form the province of Elsweyr. It's a patchwork that united many former small kingdoms, including Rimmen, Orcrest, Riverhold, and Meirvale."

Although nominally a part of the Aldmeri Dominion, Northern Elsweyr acts autonomously under the rulership of Euraxia Tharn, the self-proclaimed Queen of Rimmen. At the start of the Colovian Revolt in 2E 576, Tharn entered Rimmen as an emissary of Varen Aquilarios with a large contingent of Nibenese mercenaries. Entering the city under a pretence of diplomacy, Tharn murdered the royal family of King Hemakar, including the King himself, and took control of the region in what would become known as the Frostfall Coup.[2]
In 2E 582, following the unsealing of the Halls of Colossus, dragons re-emerged across Elsweyr, including the north, devastating the local populations.[3] For a time prior to the reappearance of dragons, and since the Frostfall Coup, Northern Elsweyr has been the site of skirmishes between the forces of Euraxia Tharn and the Northern Elsweyr Defense Force who seek the liberation of Rimmen and deposition of Usurper-Queen.[4]

Northern Elsweyr features a series of zone story quests and unrelated side quests. The zone story quests tie into the Season of the Dragon overarching storyline and continues on to Southern Elsweyr, but it is not necessary to complete the story quests for zones prior to those in Northern Elsweyr. Side quests are non-sequential and can be completed in any order, except where one carries on from another, and repeatable quests can be completed multiple times: weekly for arenas and trials and daily for all others.
