Tamriel

Tamriel is the second largest continent on the planet Nirn. It is currently split up into nine provinces: Skyrim, High Rock, Hammerfell, Summerset Isles, Valenwood, Elsweyr, Black Marsh, Morrowind, and Cyrodiil. It contains a large variety of climates and biomes from the arid deserts of Hammerfell, to the lush forests of Valenwood, to the cold mountains of Skyrim. The history of Tamriel has been split up into six time periods: Dawn Era, Merethic Era, First Era, Second Era, Third Era, and the current Fourth Era. The existence of Tamriel as well as all of Nirn is rumored to end sometime in the late Fifth Era during an event known as Landfall, but that is not canon lore and is only fanfiction created by Michael Kirkbride
