it sounds like you are uninformed..

- Atmora lies to the north of Tamriel.
- Yokuda lies to the vest of Tamriel.*
- Akawir lies to north-east of Tamriel.
- Pyandonea lies to the south of Tamriel.

* some say that yokuda fell in to the ocean, but the Anvil lighthouse keeper, states that ships from Yokuda still is a normality in Anvil.


here is the best map i could find; (it is unofficial)

Was it intentional that you swapped your "w" and "v" around? ("vest of Tamriel" and "Akawir")

Most of Yokuda was destroyed, but there's a small archipelago left as far as I know.

Pyandonea is more correctly to the southeast of Tamriel. Island chains are to the east of Black Marsh, between Tamriel and Akavir. Aldmeris, possibly having never existed, was lost to the southern ocean in the Mythic Era.

Probably Danish pronounciation. I've made some good typos when trying to apply Gaelic rules in 'Aenglas' :D

Atmora was inhabited proto-Nords. Akavir has http://www.imperial-library.info/mwbooks/mysterious_akavir.shtml. Pydonea has the Maomer. Yokuda was and is inhabited by Redguards.

There's the coral kingdom of Thras to the south-ish west of Tamriel. Although that's mostly underwater now and doesn't count as a continent per se.

In lore it is stated that the Redguards of Yokuda had waged so much war upon each other that their fighting styles eventually began to actually destroy/sink the contient. Doesn't make much sense to me, but the truth is probably steeped more in magic than what is actually implied in the given sources.

I belive the fighting style was called "Pankratas...or Pankra...something-or-other."

ANBODY GOT A NAME?

The forbidden Pankratosword-technique, which "arcs the bones that otherwise cannot bend", cutting the uncuttable, the atomos.

Atmora was inhabited proto-Nords.

And elves. How else would the Nords be so good at killing them?

Because elves aren't hard to kill? It doesn't really take practice.

"Auriel could not save Altmora, the Elder Wood, and it was lost to Men. They were chased south and east to Old Ehlnofey, and Lorkhan was close behind. He shattered that land into many. Finally Trinimac, Auriel's greatest knight, knocked Lorkhan down in front of his army and reached in with more than hands to take his Heart. He was undone. The Men dragged Lorkhan's body away and swore blood vengeance on the heirs of Auriel for all time.

-The Monomyth

And only the Nords are directly descended from the inhabitants of Atmora. The other races developed from the indigenous men already living in Tamriel. Who else could the Ayleids have enslaved?

Now I bet you couldn't say that again while wearing a waterface.

The Men that the Ayleids enslaved were decendants from the Night of Tears, in which the Elves took captives, and the Bretons were decended from those who settled in the area now known as High Rock, but then were taken as slaves by the Elves (whom then interbred with the Nedes).

And if men had been indigenous to the area now known as Cyrodiil, then why didn't Topal mention them?

Seriously? A few captives spawned an entire patchwork of tribes, with their own traits, customs and languages? (I won't list the ones whose names we know.) The dusky Imperials descended from the pale Nords? The Colovians have more Nordic blood than the Nibenese whose other ancestry is... what? The elitist, racialist elves took two dozen love slaves and had their entire population join in the fun? So all humans come from the Nords, except for the inconvenient of exceptions of the Kothri and the Ra'gada, who don't? But sources insist we're all snowmen anyway. Funny how they are so-often contemporary with Tiber Septim, who politically kowtowed to Skyrim and its supremacist self-image of the fatherland of all mankind. General Talos took a Nordic name, lied about his birth in Atmora and invented an entire creation story for himself, becoming Ysmir.

So Queen Alessia was, in fact, the daughter of bloodthirsty invaders and a usurper to the throne of White Gold Tower? So Nordic slaves submitted to the worship of Auriel, the elven demon?

Really, the Out-of-Atmora myth is as inaccurate and heavy-handed as the RL terms caucasoid, negroid, and mongoloid. Atmoran, Kothri, and Yokudan? Not likely.

'Nede' is a term that is endlessly confused with Nord (I don't deny the bewildering alliteration) or shoehorned to refer to all pre-Ysgramor Nords, and now used to refer to all non-Atmoran peoples. When a scholar bothers to actually translate period texts, we see it referring to just another group inhabiting Cyrod, distinct from the few slaves the Ayleids did indeed import from borderlands near Falkreath. The origin of the majority of our knowledge of the Alessian Revolution seems a better place to turn to than an Altmeri campfire tale. The Elder Scrolls reveal that all life is indigenous to Tamriel; they don't claim that it started in the Rumare. The Nords are merely the people who forsook Tamriel for other lands. Their own legends claim that they were born on High Hrothgar when Kyne breathed upon the snow. Surely it is impossible that every last one of them immediately departed for the north? As history, Out of Atmora is at once cobbled together and entirely too neat. As a legend of Nordic superiority and a ploy to sway the opinion of a much-needed Northern ally, it is effective.

All life originated on Dawn's Beauty, according to the Nu-Mantia Intercept.
