I found http://downloads.egg-of-time.us/images/maps/nirn_edz.jpg. Don't take it for granted though... they misplaced Roscrea.
See it more of how it could almost look like :)

Nope. Even the image of Pyandonea from the map Helseth posted is pretty much just a guess and artistic liscense very loosely based off a low-quality sprite from Daggerfall. Tamriel's the only contient we really have reliable maps for.

@hlvr, sorry, but your map is very innacurate. Aldmeris isn't a real, physical place. And unfortunately the Akavir and atmora parts are completely artistic liscence.

Really. Old Ehlnofey is Tamriel.

BTW, by artistic liscence I meant the artist completely made-up the shape of the land-mass, and didn't use any official maps.

I read a book or somthing (Oblivion?) that said this land was filled with snake-people, demons, and other unpleasant creatures. What island/province was it talking about?

Wait , so the Nords came from Atmora (the north one) and the Redguards came from Yokuda )west) I know the deal with Akavir so then what's the southern most continent for? I mean did anything come out of that continent? Also what's the difference between Atmora and Nirn? Is Nirn like Earth and Mundus everything including Oblivion and sjit?

Nirn and Mundus are the same thing really. Oblivion is not a part of Mundus.

The land-masses are:
1. Tamriel

2. Yokuda

3. Atmora

4. Akavir

5. Pyandonea

6. Kinda small to be a contient, but There's also the island of Thras.

The artist said he had used the sources available and taken some conclusions.
Altmeris is, by my saying, a land. A physical land (but probably magical, one way or another), since it said continent... and that elves originally came from there. Long forgotten though, and doesn't really matter.

What matters most is Atmora and Roscrea.

Aldmeris does not exist, simple as that. It is not a seperate land. The elves are mistaken.

This war reshaped the face of Nirn, sinking much of the land beneath new oceans, and leaving the lands as we know them (Tamriel, Akavir, Atmora, and Yokuda). The Old Ehlnofey realm, although ruined, became Tamriel. The remnants of the Wanderers were left divided on the other 3 continents.


Old Ehlnofey, the so-called Aldmeris, is ruined, and it's remants are Tamriel.

@Elven_Princess, you're thinking of Akavir.

I no I'm just asking if anything came out of thoes other land masses just like the red guards came out of yokuda and the nores, atmora. Also what's the name for everything, like the planes of oblivion Nirn and where the gods reside (also oblivion I think, just a different plane.)

Well, Pyandonea is the home to the Maomer, and Thras is the home of the Sloads. Akavir has several races (the Kamal, Tang-mo, Ka'Po'Tun, and Tseacsi [don't think I spelled that right]), and the Kamal and Tseacsi have invaded Tamriel. (they failed)

For your second question:

Imagine, for the sake of visualization, a circle.

At the middle of this circle is mundus. The mortal world. Mundus is orbited by eight planets, which are the Eight Divines, and two moons, Masser and Secunda. (The moons are the rotting corpse of Lorkhan) Beyond that, there is the void of Oblivion. Oblivion is most famously known for the 16 Daedric princes and their realms. (the realms are the princes themselves) So, Mehrunes Dagon resides in Oblivion and his realm is the Deadlands, for example. Then there is Aetherius, where the Magne Ge and Magnus fled to. (They realized what creating the mortal world would do to them, and fled. The stars are the holes they made when escaping to Aetherius)

There isn't proof of Aldmeris existence, but there isn't proof that it doesn't exist either. I favor the idea that it wasn't a direct part of Nirn, but just an ancestral memory of existence before Nirn, but limited to help mortal minds perceive non-linear time. Still, the red guards managed to sing their home, who's to say the elves didn't [censored] something up farther back?

Lol, I imagine the Adoring Fan being responsible for that [censored] up, if Aldermis no longer exist in Nirn :D

Akavir http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Akavir, it has most info on the general knowledge about all TeS subjects.

A children's Anuad IS proof it doesn't exist. Old Ehlnofey (AKA, Aldmeris) was destroyed in the conflicts between the Wandering Ehlnofey (Men), and the settled ehlnofey (Elves).

Unless the lore books are wrong.


Anyway, though, Tamriel is freakishly box-shaped.

Sorry, this probably isn't accurate. I just had a look and they put Ald Sotha near Mournhold instead of near Vivec. (Woah, can't believe I noticed that. I've been Elder Scrolls-ified)

Thanks, in all my research, I never found this map, :sweat:
But definitely useful, thanks!
If that map is correct(most likely is)
That means we'll run into around 30 Cities/Villages/Towns.
Which is good news to me.
