Aldmeris

Aldmeris is one of the possible continents on Nirn. Very little is known about this strange, but beautiful place. It's current existence is that of conjecture. Translations on tapestries in Crystal Tower on Summerset Isles have yielded only the barest sketches about Aldmeris. It appears always as an endless city, built upon itself over and over again, until nothing from nature remains.

History
There are very few records of events relating Aldmeris. One of them is that of Aldmer Foresailor High Lord Torinaan, who left the shores of Aldmeris in order to "escape doom oblivious" and landed on Auridon, swearing to lay claim on this new land and never depart from it. Others settled on continent south of Tamriel, Pyandonea, becoming Maormer.

What happened to Aldmeris after the elves settled on other continents is perhaps the oldest of mysteries. For many centuries, adventurers sought the lost continent of Aldmeris, only to return disappointed, if they return at all. Some say Aldmeris was sunk into the sea by the angry Aldmer gods. Others claim Aldmeris left Mundus, only to return when all Mer are united as one.

Alternate theory, by the Moth Priests, claim that Aldmeris wasn't a continent at all, rather a collection of "memories" left over from the Mythic Age. The priests go on to say that all mortal life began on Tamriel.
