Welcome to '''The Elder Scrolls Wiki''', a collaborative encyclopedia about {{TES}} (''TES'') series of games that anyone can edit. The wiki serves as a repository of [[:Category:Images|images]], [[:Category:Concept Art|artwork]], [[:Category:Books|books]], dialogue, [[:Category:Audio File|audio]], [[:Category:Videos|videos]], as well as explanatory [[:Category:Content|articles]] summarizing information about significant [[:Category:Characters|characters]], [[:Category:Locations|locations]], [[:Category:Quests|quests]], [[:Category:Items|items]], [[:Category:Factions|factions]], [[:Category:Gameplay|mechanics]], and [[:Category:Lore|lore]] concepts, [[:Category:Real-world articles|real-world]] material, and select [[:Category:Unlicensed Texts|external texts]]. We currently have '''{{NUMBEROFARTICLES}}''' articles.

''The Elder Scrolls'' is a series of primarily open-world role-playing video games developed by [[Bethesda Softworks]] and set on the continent of [[Tamriel]], a [[magic]]-infused universe with a complex [[Timeline|history]], politics, and environment. The game's first title, {{Arena}}, was released in 1994. Four additional main series games have since been released: {{Daggerfall|!}} (1996), {{Morrowind|!}} (2002), {{Oblivion|!}} (2006), and {{Skyrim|!}} (2011), as well as numerous spin-off titles such as {{Online|!}} (2014), {{Legends|!}} (2017), and {{Blades|!}} (2019). The series' next main series game, ''[[The Elder Scrolls VI]]'', is in development but has no set release date.
