tamriel dawn's beauty' in the language
of the altmer Lord Oz of God and the
dragon's tongue is the continent upon
which all the Elder Scrolls games take
place home to many diverse races and
even more conflicts Tamriel has been
host to many adventures you've
experienced Tamriel in your own way but
want to learn more about its story well
to get to the heart of the story you
have to go back to the beginning
hi guys real quick before the series
begins there are a few things that you
need to know and disclaimers that simply
haven't said it's not over exaggeration
to say that the Elder Scrolls universe
has some of the richest allure in gaming
really just the number of books you can
find scattered throughout the world is
mind-boggling enough with over 800 books
in Skyrim alone I set out to make this
series too rare myself for the Elder
Scrolls online and because I felt that
the videos currently out there simply
don't do task justice this series is
obviously for all you Lord lovers out
there but it also serves the more casual
Alpha Scrolls gamer as well simply by
using good presentation and good SOI
time history is made by the one who
writes it most of what you're about to
hear in the series is written and spoken
by the citizens of Tamriel themselves
meaning the source material is far from
infallible as a matter of fact it even
contradicts itself in places showing us
that authors often let their own bias
affect their writing
the only history we can in fact know is
true is that which we witnessed playing
the games as well as what we find
bringing the elders calls themselves so
with all that out of the way let's start
putting the pieces in place to enjoy
what better place to start than at the
dawn of time itself
this is Tamriel it is but a single
continent on the planet known as nirn as
we brought in our perspective we can see
Meereen is part of other heavenly bodies
like moons and planets these heavenly
bodies make up the realm of existence
called Monday's Mundus itself was the
brainchild of Lorcan the missing god
magnus the divine thing we draw our
magic from acted as the architect to
help the Lorcan by laying out the plans
for Monday's creation as powerful as
Lorcan and Magnus were creating an
entire realm of existence was a
monumental task that required help from
the aedra who are more commonly known as
the Divine's
it's pretty unclear whether the Adria
willingly volunteered in creation or if
lurking in fact tricked them but in the
end the Adria gave part of themselves
for the creation of Mundus and in turn
they created nirn in Tamriel as we know
it today however not every God like
being agreed with our creation Daedra is
the name given to the divine beings that
did not take part in creation unlike the
Adria the Daedra are thought to retain
the full might of their power because
they elected to sit out while Mundus was
being constructed the citizens of
Tamriel worship both the Daedra and the
aedra however the latter is more widely
accepted in the greater Empire
more on that later suffice it to say the
only thing will be concerning ourselves
with is the biggest and most significant
planning in monday's nirn there are five
known continents on nirn the continent
of akavir also known as dragon land is
the landmass east of Tamriel history has
proven that Tamriel and akavir have a
very hostile attitude toward each other
to say the least
akavir has invaded Tamriel several times
in the past and we know that Tamriel has
invaded akavir at least once we as
citizens of Tamriel know very little
about akavir and much of the information
we do hold is acknowledged to be
incomplete or inaccurate altogether the
continent of atmora
is the landmass north of Tamriel and
legend says that it was from here that
the first humans came it was east
gomorrah the ancient at Morgan king who
fled civil war not Mora determined to
make a new life for his people in
Tamriel the Western continent of jakku
de which sank into the seeing ancient
times was the original home of the Red
Guards although yaku de no longer exists
it is included on the map of western
Tamriel what in fact caused Youku Tudou
sink remains shrouded in mystery but the
Red Guards themselves seem to be under
the impression that the destruction of
the kuda was in some way their fault
upon the sinking of their homeland in
the first era the you coudn't fleet set
sail to the east were they short in
Tamriel birthplace of the elves all
marries is one of narns greatest
mysteries so little is known about this
southern continent that some questioned
its very existence
dumb off priests say that all marries is
not a physical place but actually a
collection of images existing only in
the minds of the elves themselves it's
hard to argue with a moth priests
considering their claim is based on a
near infallible source the Elder Scrolls
themselves now we arrive in Tamriel a
land of swords and magic bigotry and
barbarism social and
injury and era does not come and go
without a conspiracy or without blood
being spilled for one cause or another
our vast continent is a land divided
divided by race divided by culture and
often divided by greed the most apparent
divisions are identified by the nine
provinces that help define Tamriel's
diverse people to the north lies skyrim
cold and rugged though currently
inhabited primarily by Nords the elves
who they replaced had resided there
since time a memorable Skyrim is the
province where yeast camor the ancient
that Mauryan king first made landfall
after crossing the sea of ghosts
a legendary hero of men yeast Kimura
would later make conquest on the elves
and a major event known as the return
and in doing so he would send a message
to all of Tamriel from then on the race
of men were here to stay in the
northeast lies morrowind which is
dominated by the island of arden fell
which in turn is dominated by Red
Mountain a massive volcano Red Mountain
will erupt twice in Marlins history each
time having profound effects on the
province some species of Arden fell even
depend on the ash fall for survival
modern morrowind becomes home to the
Dark Elves after they are banished from
Serie Dell for committing the capital
offense of beta worship in the southeast
lies the swampland known as Black Marsh
home to the reptilian race known as the
argonians
as well as a race of sentient trees
known as the hist the mysterious
argonians are native to Black Marsh and
they organize themselves on the tribal
level with great efficiency southern
Tamriel yields itself to great deserts
and jungles elsewhere is home to the
feline race of humanoids known as the
Khajiit sources say the keshe predate
even the elves arrival on the continent
making them
Tamriel's truest natives along with the
argonians in the southwest lies balin
wood which became home to the wood elves
before the first era began realizing the
great forests were too wild to tame the
wood elves decided to adapt instead in a
pocket guide to the Empire it describes
Valen wood as a sea of endless green a
maze of foliage with half-hidden cities
growing like blooms from a flower the
home of the Bosma is Tamriel's garden
the summerset isles is the large island
southwest of Tamriel's mainland and it
is believed to be the first province
occupied by the elves the summerset
isles will become most associated with
the high elves and for being the heart
and soul of the Aldmeri Dominion when
people think of the western province of
hammerfell they think of the al'akir
desert and its human inhabitants the Red
Guards finding the al'akir desert a poor
place for a home the Red Guards Freeney
Okuda built great port in trade cities
along the coast of Hammerfell where they
enjoy lives filled with travel and
adventure sailing mostly for profit as
mercenaries throughout Tamriel it is
said that the history of Tamriel begins
in the northwest province of High Rock
it is here where the adamantite tower
stands as a testament to a
long-forgotten age I Rock might be home
to the oldest structure in Tamriel but
it also serves as home to the Breton's
and more recently the ore
the Breton's divide the province into
multiple city states in minor kingdoms
while the orcs are happy to call our sin
'i'm their home and thusly we arrive at
the heart of Tamriel in the ages to come
seer Adele will act as home to the
heartland high elves who were rumored to
be the first humanoids to settle in his
province it was these elves that built
the great centerpiece of Tamriel the
white gold tower tall and imposing the
white gold tower will become the
ultimate seat of power in the centuries
to follow the Heartland Isles also known
as the alien's bring about their own
destruction by enslaving the humans that
later came to the region the result was
the slave rebellion and the birth of the
Imperial race Sir Adele will carry on
without the Indians in their place the
Imperials will sacrifice and much in
efforts to hold the heart of Tamriel in
the first era they will successfully
repelled a NACA very invasion in the
seconds an arcane explosion of energy
will shake the very foundations of
Tamriel will spur the bloody faction
wars and later we'll crown Tiber Septim
assuring in a new Empire rebellions
conspiracy
phaedra you name it blood finds its way
to the heart of Tamriel
despite its chaotic nature to us nirn is
above all a land of beauty mystery and
adventure the stage has been set to
pieces in place but who is pulling the
strings
