Tamriel After The Great War

Post » Thu Dec 08, 2011 7:37 am

So, all things considered after The Great War, what would Tamriel look like today. With the White-Gold Concordant in place, considering new land ownership by the Aldmeri Dominion in Hammerfell, what would this new continent look like? Also, we should consider too the fact that the Aldmeri have renamed Summerset Island and that Elsyweir is no longer run under Imperial rule.

The raga drove the Dominion out, they have no more land than they had at the start of the Great War. The Dominion has control over Summerset, Valenwood and Elseweyr while the Empire has Skyrim, Cyrodiil and High Rock. Argonia is independent, as is Hammerfell and I'm not sure about Morrowind.

Someone on the forums made a map, http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/8977/4e200map.jpg.

It's probably not 100% accurate, but it's a nice visual to have.

Nice find! That should be added to the wiki IMO. I'd imagine Hammerfell and the Empire would eventually merge once again if war were to break out between them and the Dominion, or not considering how the Redguards found the denouncing of the province as a betrayal. We'll see I guess in some sort of expansion hopefully.

Morrowind appears to technically be part of the Empire, but it's not like they're a major source of tax revenue or a bastion of Imperial authority. As for actually looking different, Vvarvendfel has a shorter volcano, and probably a lot of fresh granite, plus the two-year disappearance probably messed with the tides and caused the wetlands of Blackmarsh and Elswyr to change somehow. I'm neither an ecologist, a vulcanologist, or a geologist, so I'm not exactly the best person to ask about this, but things are certainly different.

The actual outcome is still pretty unknown for right now.

Lord Titus mentioned one of the possibilities while I believe another could be that the Dominion becomes much more powerful than the empire and is able to deal with them and then face Hammerfell afterwords or during. Its hard to tell really but my best bet is that it will mostly be decided depending on whether or not the stormcloaks can do anything in Skyrim. The Dominion sees Ulfric as an asset so his victory in Skyrim would only help further weaken the empire. I believe that the Dominions greatest threat is Hammerfell as well as High Rock which is really out of the way of the fighting atm.

Morrowind will probably still remain neutral, I hope, and be able to rebuild itself. Maybe a couple new great houses could bloom from the ashes?

Black Marsh, I'm not sure really. They obviously have power seeing as they could invade Morrowind even with its damage from the eruption, but their land is also hurt, I assume, from Umbriel.

That map be mine, and yea, it needs a few changes. I'll color Morrowind as nominally part of the Empire, and extend the Stormcloak colors down to the border (as they have it in game). That and make it prettier. It's towards the top of my exponentially increasing list of things to do.

They havent really stated that the Argonians actually captured any cities or anything in Morrowind, simply that they invaded. Anyone found anything in Skyrim stating otherwise?

As for Vvardenfell, I would bet that its almost comletely destroyed, what with the Ministry of Truth hitting Vivec with all of it's original force (it was an asteroid was it not?) and then Red Mountain erupting. The eruption sounds more like an explosive one ie Mt. St.Helens and Vesuvius to do damage on the scale they talk about. Houses Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni would most likely be completely destroyed as they had 90% of their holdings on the island.

There was stuff in the novels. Infernal City says that they practiced rituals in the crater of Vivec. Lord of Souls says that they have prevented the Empire from reclaiming the territory. Skyrim has the http://imperial-library.info/content/skyrim-lymdrenn-tenvannis-journal whose city is being overrun.

As for Vvardenfell, I would bet that its almost comletely destroyed, what with the Ministry of Truth hitting Vivec with all of it's original force (it was an asteroid was it not?) and then Red Mountain erupting. The eruption sounds more like an explosive one ie Mt. St.Helens and Vesuvius to do damage on the scale they talk about. Houses Hlaalu, Redoran, and Telvanni would most likely be completely destroyed as they had 90% of their holdings on the island.

A destruction of that magnitude would have had more far-reaching impact elsewhere on Tamriel. As it is, there was damage on the coast of Skyrim and tsunamis all over the place. There could have been other events that we did not hear about, but I doubt that the whole island blew up (especially since we do see it in Skyrim)

Also, the three Vvardenfell great houses did have holdings outside Vvardenfell.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't a bad year for crops and a good year for sunsets, after Red Year.

What i'm wondering is if skyrim wins independence then what happens to high rock its completely cut of from cyrodiil, i don't see hammerfell or skyrim doing much in trading with the empire since they both say the empire betrayed them

Most of Highrock's trade probably happens through shipping, rather than over-land, so I don't think it would be too heavily affected. On the other hand, the secession of Skyrim may lead the the secession of Highrock, since the Breton are a notoriously squably bunch.

Lady N, your map is inconsiderate toward the rights of free men. I rebuke your politic. Skyrim is free!

And High Rock is only a really, really Old Hold. Older than the First Hold.

You deserve a gold star.

I would like to know more about what is happening in Solsteim, in other words, if it is going to be now claimed by the Dunmers.

Don't the Thalmor hold southern Hammerfell, though? So wouldn't that be part of the Aldmeri Dominian?

Nah. Hammerfell won it back due to five years of war and the second treaty of Stros M'kai.
