[[File:Tamriel Anthology Map.png|thumb|300px|A map of Tamriel from ''The Elder Scrolls Anthology''.]] {{Quote|Why do you think your world has always been contested ground, the arena of powers and immortals?

Time did not exist and when it was created it was not linear, like during a [[Dragon Break]].<ref>''[[Where were you when the Dragon Broke?]]''</ref> The [[Convention]] took place at the "end" of this era, at the imposition of linear time.<ref name="PGE3E" /> ===Merethic Era=== The Merethic Era, otherwise known as the Mythic Era, was the era between the start of linear time and recorded history.<ref name="Anuad">''[[The Annotated Anuad]]''</ref> The [[Atmoran]]s came to Tamriel from [[Atmora]]; after they arrived, they began to spread throughout mainland [[Skyrim]].<ref name="beforeman" /><ref>''[[Songs of the Return, Vol 2]]''</ref> When the [[Aldmer]] first arrived in Tamriel it is believed by most that they initially settled in the [[Summerset Isles]], and then spread eastward into the mainland of Tamriel.<ref name="PGE3SI" /> As the Aldmer settled Tamriel, they changed culturally in relation to their new environment. The ones who stayed in Summerset Isles became the [[Altmer]]; those in Valenwood, the [[Bosmer]]; those in Skyrim, the [[Snow Elves]]; in Morrowind, the [[Chimer]] and the [[Dwemer]]; in Cyrodiil, the [[Ayleid]]; and in High Rock, a mix between the Aldmer and the [[Nede]]s birthed the [[Breton]]s.<ref name="PGE3E" /> It was a time when all manner of mythological occurrences are said to have taken place. The era was commonly considered to be outside of verifiable history, as humanity did not possess a written language to speak of until the end of the Mythic Era.<ref name="beforeman" /> A vareity of merish records, on the other hand, date back to the Merethic Era.<ref name="PGE3SI" /><ref name="PGE3:Morrowind" /><ref name="PGE3:Elsweyr" /> ===First Era=== The First Era began with an expansion of both man and mer peoples, with varying degrees of conflict and accommodation.<ref>''[[Frontier, Conquest|Frontier, Conquest & Accommodation: A Social History of Cyrodiil]]'' – University of Gwylim Press, [[3E 344]]</ref> The [[Nord]]s were particularly warlike, conquering not only Skyrim but areas of High Rock and Morrowind as well.<ref name="PGE1:Skyrim">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Skyrim]] – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]''</ref> The First Empire of the Nords ultimately fell to a combined force of Chimer and Dwemer to found [[Resdayn]], but in time they would turn against each other, resulting in the disappearance of the Dwemer and the ascendancy of the [[Tribunal]] in the governance of the province.<ref name="Nerevar@RM">''[[Nerevar at Red Mountain]]''</ref><ref name="Warof1stCouncil" /> The apparently cordial relations between [[Ayleid]] and men in Cyrodiil ultimately broke down, and [[Alessia]] led a slave revolt to liberate men in the province, having received a blessing and the [[Amulet of Kings]] from [[Akatosh]], the latter of which was to serve as a symbol of Imperial power for most of Tamriel's history.<ref>''[[The Amulet of Kings]]'' – [[Wenengrus Monhona]]</ref> After a period of relative stability, this [[First Empire|empire]] eradicated the remaining Ayleids under the direction of the [[Alessian Order]].<ref name="LastKingAyleids">''[[The Last King of the Ayleids]]'' – [[Herminia Cinna]]</ref> The order itself fell during the [[War of Righteousness]], which wiped out both the Order and the Empire.<ref name="PGE3EC">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Cyrodiil]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> The Second Empire was founded in 1E 2703, when [[Reman Cyrodiil]] unified the province to fight off an [[Akaviri]] invasion.<ref name="PGE3EC" /> Victory in this battle brought both the [[Dragonguard]] and the [[Akaviri Potentate]] to Tamriel.<ref name="PGE3EC" /> Reman and his descendents then went on to conquer all of Tamriel except Morrowind, founding the [[Second Empire]], which some call a golden age.<ref>''[[Legacy of the Dragonguard]]''</ref><ref>''[[Reman II: The Limits of Ambition]]''</ref> [[Reman II]] began the Four-Score War with Morrowind, which ended the same year [[Reman III]] was assassinated by the [[Morag Tong]],[[1E 2920]]. As Reman left no heirs, the Potentate [[Versidue-Shaie]] ruled in his place, and declared the end of the First Era.<ref>''[[2920, vol 12 - Evening Star|2920, The Last Year of the First Era: Evening Star]]'' – [[Carlovac Townway]]</ref> ===Second Era=== The Second Era started after the [[Akaviri]] [[Potentate]] [[Versidue Shaie]] ordered the assassination of the last of the Reman line in 1E [[2920]]. Facing rebellious nobles building up their own sizeable forces, he used his remaining legions to crush all independent armies and instituted what would become the [[Fighters Guild]] as a place to hire mercenaries.<ref>''[[History of the Fighters Guild]]''</ref> He also affirmed the charter to found the [[Mages Guild]], begun by [[Vanus Galerion]] in [[Firsthold]] on the Summerset Isles in 2E 230.<ref>''[[Origin of the Mages Guild]]'' – Archmage Salarth</ref><ref>''[[Mages Guild Charter]]''</ref> Both Shaei and his son were in turn assassinated by the Morag Tong, ending the Second Empire centuries after the death of the last Reman.<ref name="PGE3EC" /><ref>''[[The Brothers of Darkness]]''</ref> This began the [[Interregnum]], which lasted for centuries and saw many petty kings attempt to take the throne of [[Cyrodiil]], and other provinces become their own network of independent kingdoms and alliances, if they were not already.<ref name="PGE3EC" /> The kingdom of Elsweyr was created in 2E 309, when the [[Khajiit]] kingdoms of [[Pellitine]] and [[Anequina]] reconciled their historical differences and the ruling families married.<ref name="PGE3:Elsweyr">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Elsweyr]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> There was a second invasion from Akavir in 2E 572, landing in Skyrim.<ref>''[[Jorunn the Skald-King]]''</ref> It was repelled either by a joint force of [[Argonian]]s, [[Dunmer]] and Nords, or by [[Vivec]] flooding the land.<ref>''[[The Second Akaviri Invasion]]'' – Yngmaer Raven-Quill</ref><ref name="VoF">''[[Varieties of Faith in the Empire]]'' – Brother [[Mikhael Karkuxor]]</ref> In [[2E 578]], [[Molag Bal]] launched an invasion on Tamriel known as the [[Planemeld]], in an attempt to drag Nirn out of Mundus and into his realm of [[Coldharbour]].<ref>''[[The Source of Power]]''</ref><ref>[https://www.facebook.com/notes/the-elder-scrolls-online/introduction-to-the-lore-of-the-elder-scrolls-online-en/486381251371913 Introduction to the Lore of Elder Scrolls Online]</ref> Molag Bal was doing this by using devices known as [[Dark Anchors]], but a hero known as the [[Vestige]] led an army into Coldharbour and put an end to his scheme.<ref name="ESOEvents">Events of {{Online}}</ref> Also in this era was the [[Three Banners War]] between the [[Ebonheart Pact]], the [[Daggerfall Covenant]], and the [[Aldmeri Dominion (Online)|First Aldmeri Dominion]], during which the three factions struggled to gain control over Cyrodiil and the rest of Tamriel.<ref name="ESOEvents" /> The Interregnum ended after [[Tiber Septim]] conquered Tamriel, declaring a new era in 2E 896 to mark the completion of his conquest.<ref name="BriefHistory2">''[[Brief History of the Empire, Book I]]'' – [[Stronach k'Thojj III]]</ref> ===Third Era=== The Third Era was the time of the [[Septim Dynasty]]. The early years were mostly peaceful, barring the assassination of [[Pelagius I]].<ref name="BriefHistory2" /> The first major upheaval of the era was the [[War of the Red Diamond]], where [[Potema Septim]] tried to claim the Ruby Throne for herself and her son [[Uriel Septim III|Uriel]].<ref>''[[Biography of the Wolf Queen]]''</ref> This involved parts of Skyrim and Morrowind turning against the Empire, and only ended in 3E 137, after the Empress Kintyra, Uriel Septim III and Potema were all dead.<ref>''[[The Wolf Queen, Book VII]]''</ref><ref>''[[The Wolf Queen, Book VIII]]''</ref> The later years of the Third Era show in increasing level of political instability across Tamriel. The [[Camoran Usurper]] arose in Valenwood around 3E 253, and conquered Valenwood and Hammerfell with an army of daedra, before being stopped at High Rock in 3E 267.<ref>''[[The Fall of the Usurper]]'' – [[Palaux Illthre]]</ref><ref>''[[Brief History of the Empire, Book III]]'' – [[Stronach k'Thojj III]]</ref> The imprisonment of [[Uriel Septim VII]] and the time of the [[Imperial Simulacrum]] brought many more small wars across the Empire as Tharn's governance faltered.<ref>''[[A Short Life of Uriel Septim VII]]''</ref><ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Foreword]]''</ref> Ultimately Tharn was defeated by the [[Eternal Champion]], and Uriel Septim returned to the throne of the Empire.<ref>Events of {{Arena}}</ref> The [[Iliac Bay]] area of High Rock witnessed the reactivation of the Numidium and reorganization of the High Rock political landscape in 3E 417, known as the [[Warp in the West]].<ref name="WarpWest">''[[The Warp in the West (Book)|The Warp in the West]]''</ref><ref>Events of {{Daggerfall}}</ref> A few years later Morrowind was changed by the apparent reincarnation of [[Indoril Nerevar]], and the downfall of the Tribunal.<ref name="PGE3:Morrowind" /> The [[Oblivion Crisis]] arose six years later when [[Mehrunes Dagon]], attempted to invade Nirn. This caused widespread devastation, including the destruction of the [[Crystal Tower]].<ref>''[[Rising Threat, Vol. I]]'' – [[Lathenil of Sunhold]]</ref> At the beginning of this the current emperor, [[Uriel Septim VII]] was assassinated along with all his heirs, save one illegitimate son, [[Martin Septim]]. Ultimately Martin destroyed the Amulet of Kings and sacrificed himself to defeat Dagon,<ref>''[[The Oblivion Crisis]]''</ref> bringing the Septim line of emperors to an end. ===Fourth Era=== In [[4E 5]], [[Lie Rock]] fell upon [[Vivec City]] in Morrowind, causing Red Mountain to erupt.<ref name="InfernalCity" /> The dual cataclysm caused widespread destruction across the province, reducing many cities to rubble.<ref>''[[The Red Year, Vol. II]]''</ref> In the wake of the eruption, the province was invaded by the Argonians, taking revenge for years of systematic enslavement by the Dunmer.<ref name="InfernalCity" /><ref name="LymdrennTelJournal">''[[Lymdrenn Telvanni's Journal]]''</ref> The Fourth Era saw the general decline of the Mages Guild, due to magic's reputation of having started the Oblivion Crisis. Many splinter groups were subsequently formed in many provinces, such as the [[Synod]] and [[College of Whispers]].<ref name="InfernalCity">{{Infernal City}} – Greg Keyes</ref> In [[4E 22]], the [[Thalmor (Skyrim)|Thalmor]] resurrected the [[Third Aldmeri Dominion]] in the Summerset Isles. In [[4E 29]], the Third Aldmeri Dominion invaded [[Valenwood]], overthrew the government and allied themselves with the [[Bosmer]] there. In [[4E 98]], the two moons, [[Masser]] and [[Secunda]], mysteriously disappeared, an incident known as the [[Void Nights]]. After two years, the two moons finally returned. The Thalmor immediately announced that they had restored the moons using previously unknown Dawn magicks, so the Khajiit credited the Thalmor as their saviors. The Third Aldmeri Dominion was now composed of the Summerset Isles, Valenwood and Elsweyr.<ref name="greatwar" /><ref name="LoS">{{Lord of Souls}} – Greg Keyes</ref> In 4E 171, the Aldmeri Dominion sent their ambassadors to the [[Imperial City]] with an ultimatum. The list of demands included tributes, disbandment of the Blades, outlawing the worship of Talos and the ceding of large sections of Hammerfell to the Dominion. The Emperor rejected the ultimatum, and the [[Great War]] began.<ref name="greatwar" /> After a bloody war fought across Hammerfell and Cyrodiil, the Dominion were defeated at [[Battle of the Red Ring]].<ref name="greatwar" /><ref>Events of {{Legends}}</ref> Following this battle, the current Emperor, [[Titus Mede II]], signed the [[White-Gold Concordat]] with the Dominion in 4E 175, which was largely similar to the terms initially rejected. Hammerfell, however, continued to fight, and was ultimately renounced by the Empire, and forced the Dominion to withdraw from the province in 4E 180.<ref name="greatwar">''[[The Great War (Book)|The Great War]]'' – [[Legate Justianus Quintius]]</ref> Civil war broke out in Skyrim during the Third Century of the Fourth Era, with conflict worsening following the killing of [[High King]] of Skyrim [[Torygg]] by [[Ulfric Stormcloak]]. [[Alduin]], Nordic God of Destruction and Firstborn of [[Akatosh]], also returned, bringing with him the reappearance of the [[Dragons (Lore)|dragons]] to Skyrim. However, the [[Last Dragonborn|Dragonborn]] ultimately defeated Alduin, averting Tamriel's destruction.<ref name="TESVEvents">Events of {{Skyrim}}</ref> ==Geography== Tamriel is typically divided into nine provinces, outlined below. These have fluctuated throughout Tamriel's history, but these are the most usual form of reference. [[File:Tamriel Map.png|thumb|400px]] *[[Black Marsh]] – Also called Argonia,<ref name="PGE1Wild">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Wild Regions]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> this huge and mostly uncharted region of densely vegetated wetlands is at the southeastern tip of Tamriel. The [[Argonians]] and [[Hist]] trees are native to this province.<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Black Marsh]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> *[[Cyrodiil]] – This province lies in the center of Tamriel and is the home of the human [[Imperial]]s. Cyrodiil is mostly an expanse of forest and mountains. At its heart is the [[Nibenay Valley]], a vast plain enclosed by equatorial rain forests. Many rivers flow through this area, and as one ventures further south, the land slowly becomes increasingly sub-tropical. For much of Tamriel's history, it is the seat of the [[Empire]].<ref name="PGE3EC" /> Cyrodiil is the setting for {{Oblivion}}. *[[Elsweyr]] – Divided across arid badlands to the North and a more humid, tropical zone in the South, this region marks the southern coast of Tamriel. Elsweyr is home to the [[Khajiit]].<ref name="PGE3:Elsweyr" /> *[[Hammerfell]] – Lying in west Tamriel, this province is dominated by the [[Alik'r Desert]]. Hammerfell is home to the [[Redguard]] human race, who settled there in a series of mass migrations from [[Yokuda]] some time after 1E 792.<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Other Lands]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> Part of Hammerfell is part of the setting for the game {{Daggerfall}}. *[[High Rock]] – Home to the [[Breton]]s, this province has been divided into multiple city-states and minor kingdoms for much of its history.<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: High Rock]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> Following the [[Warp in the West]], several these kingdoms consolidated into a handful of larger states.<ref name="WarpWest" /> It is a temperate coastal region in northwestern Tamriel. The province contains the [[Adamantine Tower]], where the gods are said to have decided the fate of Lorkhan and Mundus.<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: High Rock]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> At various points in its history, High Rock has contained [[Orsinium]], a province belonging to the Orcs.<ref name="PGE1Wild" /><ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Orsinium]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> The southern region of High Rock is part of the setting for the game {{Daggerfall}}. *[[Morrowind]] – The province in the northeast corner of Tamriel and home to the [[Dunmer]] (Dark Elves). It consists of a continental mainland and a large island in the center called [[Vvardenfell]], separated by an inlet from the [[Sea of Ghosts]], [[The Inner Sea]].<ref>''[[Guide to Vvardenfell]]''</ref> Vvardenfell is also the location of [[Red Mountain]], a volcano that has erupted at least twice in the recorded history of Tamriel.<ref name="RedYear1">''[[The Red Year, Vol. I]]'' – [[Melis Ravel]]</ref><ref>''[[The Nirnroot Missive]]'' – [[Sinderion]]</ref> The province is the setting for the game, {{Morrowind}}. There is also an island to the north-west of Morrowind called [[Solstheim]], which is the setting for both {{Morrowind|!}}<nowiki/>'s second add-on, {{Bloodmoon}} and {{Skyrim|!}}<nowiki/>'s third add-on, {{Dragonborn}}. *[[Skyrim]] – This northern, snow-covered, and mountainous region is home to the [[Nords]] and the [[Falmer]].<ref name="PGE1:Skyrim" /> Skyrim contains some of the tallest mountains in all of Tamriel, most notably the [[Throat of the World]]. Skyrim is less urbanized than Cyrodiil, but the [[Holds|five largest cities]] do have a sizable population, with the other four cities being more like towns.<ref>''[[The Holds of Skyrim]]''</ref> Skyrim is the setting for {{Skyrim}}. *[[Summerset Isles]] – This province is located in the [[Eltheric Ocean]], with the [[Abecean Sea]] separating the islands from the mainland Tamriel continent. It is composed of two major islands and an archipelago of smaller ones. These islands are home to the [[Altmer]] (High Elves), and as the place where the Aldmer first arrived on Tamriel, is considered by some to be the birthplace of Tamrielic civilization.<ref name="PGE3SI" /> *[[Valenwood]] – The province in the southwestern region of Tamriel. This province is mostly forest wilderness.<ref name="PGE3V" /> The coasts are dominated by mangrove swamps and tropical rain forests, while heavy rainfalls nurture the temperate inland rain forests.<ref>{{Morrowind}} – in-game dialogue</ref> Valenwood is home to the [[Bosmer]] (Wood Elves). ===Provinces of the Fourth Era=== In the 200 years before {{Skyrim|!}}, the Empire had lost much of its territory. By 4E 22, The Summerset Isles belonged to the [[Thalmor]] faction.<ref name="RisingThreat3">''[[Rising Threat, Vol. III]]'' – [[Lathenil of Sunhold]]</ref> By 4E 115, the [[Third Aldmeri Dominion]] had been formed, comprising the Summerset Isles (now renamed "Alinor") and Valenwood, which had been seized by Thalmor sympathizers during a coup.<ref name="greatwar" /> Around 4E 5–6, [[Red Mountain]] erupted in Vvardenfell, destroying the island and much of northern Morrowind.<ref name="RedYear1" /><ref name="InfernalCity" /> With Morrowind severely weakened, the Argonians (who had seceded from the Empire) invaded, conquering the Dunmer.<ref name="LymdrennTelJournal" /><ref name="InfernalCity" /> Also, due to the Great War and the [[White-Gold Concordat]] that followed, Hammerfell fought a war of independence and now belongs to neither the Empire or the Dominion.<ref name="greatwar" /> As of 4E 201, Skyrim is in a state of civil war and, while nominally still part of the Empire, its future status is uncertain.<ref name="TESVEvents" /> Below are a list of all provinces and their affiliation: *Tamrielic Empire **[[Cyrodiil]] (''Capital: Imperial City'') **[[High Rock]] (''Capital: [[Daggerfall]]'') **[[Skyrim]]* (''Capital: [[Solitude]]'') *Aldmeri Dominion **[[Summerset Isles]] (''Capital: [[Alinor]]'') **[[Valenwood]] (''Capital: [[Falinesti]]'') *Independent nations: **[[Elsweyr]]** (''Capital: [[Torval]]'') **[[Hammerfell]] (''Capital: [[Sentinel]]'') **[[Black Marsh]] (''Capital: [[Lilmoth]]'') **[[Morrowind]]*** (''Capital: [[Blacklight]]'') <nowiki>*</nowiki> – state of civil war <nowiki>**</nowiki> – divided into two client states of the Aldmeri Dominion, [[Anequina]] and [[Pelletine]] <nowiki>***</nowiki> – [[An-Xileel]] occupies southern Morrowind. ==Governments== ===Tamrielic Empire=== {{Main|Third Empire}} Since the [[Second Era]], Tamriel has been governed by the [[Third Empire|Tamrielic Empire]] that, until the [[Oblivion Crisis]], was led by an Emperor of the [[Septim Dynasty]].<ref name="RisingThreat3" /><ref name="BriefHistory2" /> The center of the Empire was Cyrodiil, which was the home of both the Emperor and the [[Elder Council]], which serves administrative functions and as an interim government during times of instability.<ref>''[[Assassination!]]'' – [[Black Horse Courier]]</ref><ref>''[[Skyrim's Rule: An Outsider's View]]'' – [[Abdul-Mujib Ababneh]]</ref> Upon the death of the Emperor, the new Emperor is usually the oldest legitimate child (preferably a son) of the dead Emperor. However, spouses, younger children, siblings and on at least one occasion, an illegitimate child have taken the throne.<ref>''[[Brief History of the Empire, Book II]]'' – [[Stronach k'Thojj III]]</ref><ref name="TES4Events">Events of {{Oblivion}}</ref> After the death of the last of the Septim Emperor, the head of the Elder Council and ''de facto'' head of state was [[Ocato|Imperial High Chancellor, Grand Battle-Mage Ocato]].<ref name="LoS" /> Following the [[Stormcrown Interregnum]] at the beginning of the Fourth Era, the [[Colovian]] [[Imperial]] [[Mede Dynasty]] is the ruling family of the Tamrielic Empire and retained the Elder Council which is now a council of solely Imperial, [[Nord]] and [[Breton]] [[noble]]s.<ref name="greatwar" /> Each province has its own form of government which sees to the affairs of that province. This can vary between being kingdoms, councils or provincial governors, depending on the province in question.<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> There may also be a degree of direct Imperial administration in some places, with an Imperial bureaucracy in place,<ref>''[[A Short History of Morrowind]]'' – [[Jeanette Sitte]]</ref> but the degree to which this is commonplace is unclear. ===Aldmeri Dominion=== {{Main|Third Aldmeri Dominion}} The Aldmeri Dominion is a powerful empire that has repeatedly occurred between the Altmer of Summerset Isles, the Bosmer of Valenwood,<ref name="PGE1AD">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Aldmeri Dominion]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> and the Khajiit of the [[Elsweyr Confederacy]] (or the kingdoms of [[Anequina]] and [[Pelletine]]).<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Elsweyr Confederacy]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref><ref name="greatwar" /> The Dominion of the [[Second Era]] was the most stable power in Tamriel until the coming of Tiber Septim,<ref name="PGE3V">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Valenwood]]''</ref> and at the end of the [[Interregnum]], Tamriel was divided between the Empire and the Dominion.<ref name="PGE1AD" /> The Dominion's ruling body, the [[Thalmor]], is a congress of Bosmeri chieftains and Altmeri diplomats,<ref name="PGE3V">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Valenwood]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> and its armies were responsible for repelling the Colovian invasions of Valenwood,<ref name="PGE1AD" /> and Thalmor Justiciars also helped to remove every [[Blades]] spy in Summerset and Valenwood.<ref name="greatwar" /> At the end of the Second Era, the King of [[Alinor]] and the [[Imperial Battlemage]], [[Zurin Arctus]], were to strike a peace treaty between the Empire and the Dominion. However, Tiber Septim instead decided to use the Brass God, Numidium, to conquer the Summerset Isles,<ref>''[[The Arcturian Heresy]]''</ref> an event that is still remembered by many living Altmer with horror.<ref name="PGE3SI">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Summerset Isles]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> In the early [[Fourth Era]], the [[Aldmeri Dominion (Skyrim)|Aldmeri Dominion]] was re-established after over four hundred years.<ref name="TESVEvents" /> ===An-Xileel=== {{Main|An-Xileel}} The An-Xileel is a political faction that rules over the [[Black Marsh]] which rose during the [[Oblivion Crisis]].<ref name="TIC">{{Infernal City}}</ref> And were largely responsible for it departing the [[Third Empire|Empire of Tamriel]] and for the [[Argonian Invasion]], and subsequent occupation, of southern [[Morrowind]]. They stopped their advance in Morrowind decades ago after being driven back by House Redoran, and haven’t showed the slightest interest in doing anything since then. They have, however, prevented the Empire from reclaiming their territory.<ref name="LoS">{{Lord of Souls}}</ref> ==Culture== ===Religion=== {{See also|Pantheons of Tamriel}}Many different gods are worshipped across Tamriel, with each culture having its own pantheon of gods. A complete list of these can be found in the book [[Varieties of Faith in the Empire]]. However, many of these pantheons represent the same deities,<ref name="Monomyth" /> which can broadly be split into two groups: *[[Aedra]] – The term Aedra comes from the [[Aldmer]] and means 'ancestors.'<ref name="AedraDaedra">''[[Aedra and Daedra]]''</ref> This corresponds with the original Aldmeri belief system that the Altmer are the direct descendants of the gods.<ref name="Monomyth">''[[The Monomyth]]''</ref> The Aedra are the et'ada who Lorkhan persuaded or tricked to create [[Mundus]]. These gods form the core of the Imperial pantheon: together with Tiber Septim they form the [[Nine Divines]].<ref name="VoF" /> *[[Daedra]] – The term Daedra means 'not our ancestors,' the first being used by the [[Chimer]] to emphasize their separation from other [[Aldmer]].<ref name="AedraDaedra" /> Other races adapted the term to a broader use which includes all gods aligned to [[Padomay]] (change),<ref name="Anuad" /> although they are also referred to as demons.<ref>''[[On Oblivion]]'' – [[Morian Zenas]]</ref> The Daedra consist of seventeen [[Daedric Princes|princes]] and a large number of lesser Daedra. Contrary to popular belief, not all Daedra are inherently evil. Note that even where the pantheons appear to venerate the same deities, there is some variance in how they are worshipped and which other deities are worshipped. Each culture has a different interpretation of the gods and their actions, which impacts their beliefs. ===Demographics=== The main races of Tamriel are the [[Breton]]s, [[Redguard]]s, [[Imperial]]s, [[Argonian]]s, [[Khajiit]], [[Altmer]] (High Elves), [[Dunmer]] (Dark Elves), [[Bosmer]] (Wood Elves), [[Orsimer|Orcs]] and [[Nord]]s. Other races in Tamriel include the following: *The [[Falmer]] or [[Snow Elves]], the original Elven inhabitants of Skyrim, thought by many to be a myth.<ref name="PGE1:Skyrim" /> They were defeated by the Nords, with the last notable battle being the [[Battle of the Moesring]].<ref>''[[Fall of the Snow Prince]]''</ref> The remaining Snow Elves sought out shelter with the Dwemer, in return for eating a toxic [[fungi]] rendering them blind and making them their slaves. At some point after this, the Snow Elves rebelled against the Dwemer which started the [[War of the Crag]].<ref name="the falmer a study">''[[The Falmer: A Study]]'' – Ursa Uthrax</ref> *The Dwemer, meaning "Deep Elves, Deep Folk,"<ref>''[[36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 5]]''</ref><ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Morrowind]]''</ref> "People of the Deep,"<ref>''[[Dwarves, v1]]''</ref> "Smart Elves (based on the Dlyxexic Theory),"<ref name="PGE1:Hammerfell">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, First Edition: Hammerfell]]''</ref> or as they were commonly referred to by Men, "Dwarves," were an ancient, lost race of Mer that inhabited most of Tamriel, including Morrowind, Skyrim,<ref>''[[The Aetherium Wars]]''</ref> [[High Rock]] and [[Hammerfell]].<ref>''[[Dwemer Inquiries Vol I]]''</ref> Their history is somewhat sketchy and unknown,<ref name="PGE3:Morrowind">''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Morrowind]]''</ref> the entire race disappeared instantly during the [[Battle of Red Mountain]], when Lord [[Nerevar]] led the Chimer* in an attack against the Dwarves to keep them from using [[Kagrenac's Tools]].<ref name="Warof1stCouncil">''[[War of the First Council (Book)|War of the First Council]]''</ref><ref name="BattleofRM">''[[The Battle of Red Mountain]]''</ref> The Dwemer were trying to use the tools to create a god for themselves. The Chimer saw this as an affront to their gods, which ultimately led to war.<ref name="Warof1stCouncil" /> It is believed that Kagrenac attempted to use the tools in a desperate gamble, causing the Dwemer to be removed from all of existence.<ref name="BattleofRM" /> *The [[Ayleids]] were a race of Mer who were the original rulers of Cyrodiil but many were killed and others were driven into hiding during [[Alessia]]'s rebellion and rule.<ref name="LastKingAyleids" /> Their ruins can be found scattered across Cyrodiil, and are a lucrative venture for anyone skilled and brave enough to venture into one and return with treasures.<ref name="TES4Events" /> *The [[Chimer]], meaning "changed folk" in Aldmeris, were a small cult of High Elves who were led by the prophet [[Veloth]] to the promised land of Resdayn, now called Morrowind, in the Merethic Era.<ref name="beforeman" /><ref>''[[End of the Journey]]''</ref> During the First Era, their skin changed to grey and their eyes changed to red, which is generally thought to be a curse from Azura for the Tribunal's actions, either murdering Nerevar or using Kagrenac's Tools on the Heart of Lorkhan.<ref name="BattleofRM" /><ref name="Nerevar@RM" /> *The Giants, a [[race]] of gargantuan humanoids, are found in the wilderness of Skyrim. Infamous for their colossal height and immense strength, [[Giant]]s share little civil interaction with [[humans]]. Giants are often found with [[Mammoth]]s, processing their milk into cheese and occasionally eating them.<ref>''[[Giants: A Discourse]]'' – [[Kord the Curious]]</ref> ==Other continents== Although Tamriel is the most well-known and important place in the world, it is not the only one. Far to the north of Tamriel lies Atmora, from which the Atmorans came to conquer Tamriel.<ref>''[[Pocket Guide to the Empire, Third Edition: Skyrim]]'' – [[Imperial Geographic Society]]</ref> Atmora, in the Elvish language, means "Elder Wood."<ref name="beforeman" /> To the west of Tamriel lies the sunken continent of [[Yokuda]], from which the people that are now called the Redguards came to take over Hammerfell, in the year 808 of the First Era. The people who became the modern-day Redguards came to Tamriel because the region was largely rendered uninhabitable, but the cause of its sinking is debated.<ref name="PGE1:Hammerfell" /> To the east of Tamriel lies the continent of [[Akavir]], which means "Dragon Land." Akavir is home to four major groups: [[Kamal]], [[Tsaesci]], [[Tang Mo]], and [[Ka Po' Tun]]. It was once home to the [[Akaviri]], a race of Man and, most notably, the [[Dragons (Lore)|dragons]], but the Tsaesci may have driven the dragons and men to extinction, and it is unknown what happened to the Akaviri. Before the Akaviri allegedly became extinct, they had launched multiple invasions on Tamriel in the past.<ref name="mysteriousakavir" /> Below Summerset Isles, just to the south of Tamriel, lies [[Pyandonea]], the tropical home of the [[Maormer]] or Tropical Elves.<ref name="PGE1Wild" /> The Coral Kingdoms of [[Thras]], an archipelago southwest of Tamriel, is the homeland of the [[Sload]], a conservative amphibious sluglike race. The [[Thrassian Plague]] devastated Tamriel around [[1E 2200]], after which a united Tamrielic navy ravaged and sank Thras into the sea. It has since recovered.<ref name="SinkingIsle">''[[The Ubiquitous Sinking Isle]]'' – Lailfin</ref> ==Trivia== *{{Arena}} is the only game in which players can fully explore Tamriel. {{Online}} is planning to have all of Tamriel explorable, and currently has parts of every province and has all of Valenwood, High Rock, and Summerset Isles.<ref>''The Elder Scrolls Online'' [http://elderscrollsonline.com/en-uk/map/tamriel Interactive Map of Tamriel]</ref> *"Mundus" can be translated as "world" in Latin. *The celebratory article for ''Arena''<nowiki/>'s tenth anniversary reveals that Tamriel was nothing more than the fantasy world used for the Dungeons & Dragons campaigns that the Bethesda Staff would hold weekly.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20070317200044/http://www.elderscrolls.com/tenth_anniv/tenth_anniv-arena.htm The Elder Scrolls Website – Tenth Anniversary Article]</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery> Tamrielcomposite.jpg|A composite map of Tamriel.
