Hello,

I was recently trying to find a good Akavir map, but there are too many different versions. Is there one you would consider most fitting? Also can someone recommend good lore sources for Akavir, especially the races of Akavir?

Thank you all in advace and happy New Year!

EDIT: Also I would like to know about 'Exiles of Akavir'. As far as I know, they should be descendants of Akaviri that invaded Tamriel. I also found a race by Westly that add them. I would like to know if there are any more details about them and also descendats of who they actually are. Since they (at least in Westly's interpretation and I believe I saw similar appearance for them in some Oblivion mod) do not match description of any other current race from Akavir as far as I can tell.

Well, that's a rather tough question to answer... most likely everything you have found so far encompasses all the official information we have. One of the few obscure pieces of information I am aware of about Akavir is that there is also a dog-like race from there in addition to the other beast races. But any detailed accounts you find are probably based on fanfiction. You'd probably get a higher yield to either do a search or post this on the lore forum.

I was afraid this might be the case. Well, could you recommend a map you personally consider best fitting, if you have some time? And cool celebration avatar by the way

When it comes to Akavir, I don't think anyone's going to complain about stuff you get wrong, because there's so little that we know. Not even the first two TES games featured the place, and there's no Akavir mods I'm aware of that Bethesda has commented on, in confirmation or denial of certain denials, so I would settle for what little there is that you've already seen, and make it up for there.

And if anyone does complain, I'll be siccing my pets on them.

Considering maps, I can only recommend http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131203165143/elderscrolls/images/d/d6/MK_Nirn.jpeg and https://40.media.tumblr.com/2ed0f7aff4b8ff19c84e7b145989d4fb/tumblr_n7vcqgiMqY1rml4zno1_r1_1280.jpg, these are at least in part official. You also may want to check Blades' forts from Oblivion and Skyrim.

I think you'll have better luck asking this on the lore forum or /r/teslore.

Perhaps you could find some info on http://www.imperial-library.info/.

Well, http://i.imgur.com/ByvWkcl.png is the one I made and use. And thanks about the avatar. I figured since I gave him a Christmas Fur Hat that I should do something for the New Year too.

I know nothing about the "exiles of Akavir" aside from Westly's mod.

Yes, that is absolutely true, thanks

The first one is https://i.warosu.org/data/tg/img/0338/29/1406947348171.jpg, right? Since your link leads just to tiny preview image. And thank you!

Yes, I haven't checked IL yet, will do sir, thank you!

Okay, thanks a lot! I think I will try to dig some lore on the invasion to Akavir, since that should feature some nice info as well. The only interesting thing about the map is that Kamal is situated on south rather than north since it should be inhabited by "snow daemons".

EDIT: In case someone would be interested, here are other quite distinct maps for Akavir I found

They come DOWN from Kamal. Which I believe to be a mountainous region.

This is what I was able to find on IL:

Kamal is said to mean "Snow Hell" and it may seem as the most horrendous area of all of Akavir. Kamal is populated by a race of Snow Demons who launch periodic attacks on the other nations, Tang Mo in particular, as soon as temperatures (in the presumably arctic climate of their homeland) allow it.

And since they come from Kamal - "Snow hell" I believed that it would be situated on the north.

ESO provided a few interesting pieces of additional information, namely that the third invasion was launched by the Kamal. I hoped that there would be more about the Akaviri in the game though. Considering the invasion happened only 10 years before the game you would expect to find a few Kamal living in Skyrim or Morrowind, or at least a few akaviri artifacts but I have yet to see any.

Not new ...
