Tamriel

Tamriel is one of several continents on Nirn. Also known as Taazokaan in the dragon's language, Tamriel translates to "Dawn's Beauty" in ancient Aldmeri. It is a great melting pot of cultures and races and the original home to at least a dozen major racial groups, with many more having died out or changed throughout the ages.   Government of the continent is under Imperial rule through the Septim Dynasty, which is sovereign over the Third Empire of Tamriel. The Empire is comprised of nine Imperial provinces: Skyrim, High Rock, Hammerfell, Summerset Isle, Valenwood, Elsweyr, Black Marsh, Morrowind, and the ancient Imperial province itself, Cyrodiil. Morrowind was among the last of the provinces to be integrated into the Empire, and because it was added by treaty, and not by conquest, Morrowind retains exceptional power to define local law by reference to ancient Great House precedents.   Recorded Tamrielic history spans an estimated 6,731 years before the starting date of this campaign. The further back we go, the more mythic and mysterious the events on Tamriel become. Any date before the "Mythic Era" is considered an age before time itself and is colloquially referred to as the "Dawn Era". The mythopeia of most cultures starts in the Dawn, which leads to many conflicting accounts of what really happened during creation.   The rest of this website will serve as a basis for weaving a story together on this mystical continent. You find yourselves 416 years deep in the Septim Dynasty, which ushered in the Third Era at its inception.
