coninents of nirn other than Tamriel?

Post » Fri Feb 18, 2011 11:50 pm

I was looking in the wiki and came across http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Tsaesci article realized that there's lore on places other than Tamriel I was wondering where I could find that info I can find bits and pieces but nothing dedicated to another continent on its own

They are:

Atmora. Home of the Nedes, who then migrated to Tamriel.
Yokuda. Home of the Redguards. Now mostly sunken.
Thras. Home of the Sloads. Not much about this one.
Akavir. Home of Dragons, Tscaesci, Tang Mo, and Ka Po Tun. The Akaviri once fought against the Empire. TESV will not be set here. Get over it.
Pyandonea. Home of the Maomer. Mostly island.
Aldmeris. Home of the Aldmer, descendants of the elves.

There's really not much about them. Tamriel is the real centre of attention.

Also mostly sunk, because the imperial navy retaliated when the Sloads released a plague on Tamriel

No, Akavir is worth mentioning, as there may be beast races there not yet discovered according to the Imperial Library. Most of the continents have all the basic information on them, especially Atmora, Akavir, and Thras.

The http://www.imperial-library.info/pge3/other_lands.shtml is what you need! The http://www.imperial-library.info/pge/wildregions.shtml also has information on the Wild Regions. Additionally, you might be interested in http://www.imperial-library.info/obbooks/mysterious_akavir.shtml, though the information therein might be wise to be taken with a grain of salt.

The Nedes are actually a human tribe native to Tamriel. The Nords ultimately come from Atmora, though shoddy scholarship and popular misconception have confused the two.

Atmora. Home of the Nedes, who then migrated to Tamriel.

To the North of Tamriel, and yes, the Nords came from there, not the Nedes. Nowadays not inhabitable.

Yokuda. Home of the Redguards. Now mostly sunken.

To the west of Tamriel. Not really a continent - Not larger than a typical Tamrielic provicne according to http://www.imperial-library.info/maps/tamriel_westmap.bmp official map. Sinking most likely caused by sword magic after a civil war - "splitting the atomos". Yes, the losing side had some magical nukes, heh.

Thras. Home of the Sloads. Not much about this one.

Also sunken, but as Sloads are amphibious, that doesnt matter greatly to them.

Akavir. Home of Dragons, Tscaesci, Tang Mo, and Ka Po Tun. The Akaviri once fought against the Empire.

The only proper continent besides Tamriel still out there. Described as continent of the beast people, as neither humans nor elves are there (anymore). The Tsaesci once invaded Tamriel, in the interregnum between first and second Empire, actually. Reman, the founder of the Second Empire, repelled them and subjugated teh invading army, forming the core of the imperial legions out of them. The Tsaesci, even though being immortal snake vampries, coudl apparently interbreed with humans. The descendants of the invasion army (nowadays with few Tsaesci blood, looking all human) still live in Rimmen, a town in northernmost Elsweyr.
And those Ice Demons also once tried to invade Morrowind, but were beaten back by the Tribunal and the Underking.

Pyandonea. Home of the Maomer. Mostly island.

South of Tamriel. Not larger then a typcial Tamrielic Province, according to the Daggerfall mages guild globus. maormer said to be truely chameleonic and to have snake magic.

Aldmeris. Home of the Aldmer, descendants of the elves.

Probably never existed as physical place, rather an idea. The shattering fo Aldmeris was the elves first dividing according to their different philosophies.

Welcome to Elder Scrolls lore. It goes far deeper than that.

We dont know. The map is official, but theres no additional info to it. Given the timeframe, it should be as its post-disaster, but that would kinda conrtadict the "its sunken" facts...

Correct, and according to the sword-meeting (non canonical):
Our swords sent the Left-Handers into the oceans, whose empire was four times the size of the white king.


Seeing as the empire at that time consisted of only 3 provinces, Yokuda was possibly larger then Tamriel

With four times the size I was thinking Tamriel, Yokuda, Atmora and Pyandonea, the Aldmeri Empire from the Dawn Era.

I would think "White King" refers to the empire, so I don't think that's true as that would mean Atmora, Pyandonea and Yokuda combined are only roughly the size of two Tamrielic provinces.

That and its unlikely that the whole Left-Handed Elf conflict occurred any earlier then the Merthic era. Left-Handed Elves likely refer to a specific group of elves, not the entire race as a whole

Even taking the Empire at it's smallest, Cyrodiil, Skyrim and High Rock and Hammerfell and multiplying that by four it becomes way to big to be occupied by only one culture. It's just out of proportion with everything else.
If the Yokudans actually took over an Empire so huge, they should have no problem in jumping across a 500 mile gap and waltz right over Tamriel. Or at the very least, their presence would be well known.

You might want to check your math in the first paragraph, we have no size for Atmora and we are talking about a large Yokuda then it is right now. It's definitely bigger then a province.

I never said it was occupied by one culture. The Redguards and Lef-handers surly weren't the only ones there, afterall Tamriel and Akavir are full of beat races, why is it hard to believe that Yokuda was too?

And as far the Left-Handers not conquering Tamriel, it is fully possible that they were blocked by their Drienni or Altmer cousins, who have a know track record of repelling Sload and Maormer invasions.

You might want to check your math in the first paragraph, we have no size for Atmora and we are talking about a large Yokuda then it is right now. It's definitely bigger then a province.


I know, that's what I am saying. You assert that Yokuda was only the size of one province maximum, and judging by the remains, I would estimate it was at least 3 provinces in size. And if we are to assume Atmora was at least as large as Skyrim (and Pyandonea's size is a known fact) then I don't think your assertion proves valid.


It is also possible the Left-Handers had some contact with Akavir, judging from Japanese Redguard cultural aspects that seem out of place in their mostly African and Middle Eastern culture.

I was talking about the Yoku. Not the left handers and the only assertion of size, I made was that "It's definitely bigger then a province". But to avoid further confusion I just wrote down the whole argument.

1. The left Handers had an Empire four times the size of at least 4 provinces (Cyrodiil, Highrock, Skyrim and Hammerfell were conquered in the same time frame).

2. Assume this Empire was as a whole located on Yokuda.

3. The Yoku drove the Left Handers into the Sea.

4. From 1&2&3 you can conclude that the Yoku had taken over an Empire of at least 16 provinces.

5a. There was an united empire of 16 provices full of Yoku. Yet we haven't heard of them before the cataclysm.

5b. There was no united empire of 16 provinces with distinct cultures. Yet they didn't come to Tamriel in the cataclysm.

6. Because 5a and 5b are very unlikely, 2 is also very unlikely

7. Because of 6, the Empire of the Left Handers likely did extend beyond Yokuda. The only culture that has ever been so widely extended is that of the Aldmer.

How exactly is 5b unlikely? If its a big catastrophe, not everybody will make it - and if its very big, only the strongest (say the currently ruling nation) will make it out... anyways, did the Adlmeri Empire truely rule the 4 continents? Is that said anywhere?
