Biggest Cities in Tamriel : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

Could be, but I'd have to disagree. It could just be a form of vertigo but I could have sworn reading Wayrest was massive source of population and wealth. The Illiac Bay's situation as such a vital comercial entity and shear number of lives lost there and the ability for the region to bounce back so quickly and frequently implies a huge concentration of people to me. Hammerfell in paticualr is densely populated on the coast as well. Anyway, those are just my jabbs at it.

It is, and the cities are huge - but it's too divided and broken up. Kinda like California or New England - Yeah, they are highly and densely populated, but the actual cities aren't going to win any records for population. Now, if you were to combine three or four major cities in the region that are nearby each other, then you'd start getting some Record-breakers.

Solstheim.

Most of the Dunmeri population fled to the island.

Solstheim.

Most of the Dunmeri population fled to the island.

All twenty-six of them

However, Solstheim isn't any more a city than Hjaalmarch or Anequine.

Well, Vivec is destroyed ofcourse. I don't know about Mournhold though... It depends on how far into morrowind the lizards got. And wether people from southern morrowind fled to Mournhold, or people from Mournhold were fleeing for the onmarching Argonians.

Dialogue in Skyrim indicates that Mournhold is still around as of 4E 201.

I know, but I was referring to the fact that the argonian attack would have an effect on population, be it positive, or negative.
