Pyandonea

Pyandonea is an island-continent to the far-south of Summerset Isles and is home to the Maormer.

History
It was once believed that Maormer were an exiles from Summerset Isles, like all races of Mer. However, after translating the tapestries in Crystal Tower, it was revealed that Maormer separated way back on their home continent, Aldmeris. According to legend, Orgnum was very wealthy Aldmer nobleman who launched a rebellion against the powers of the land. His rebellion failed and he with his followers together were banished from Aldmeris, to a place separated by impenetrable mist, Pyandonea, "The Veil of Mist". This proved so effective that Orgnum's followers never disturbed the people of Aldmeris ever again.

The Maormer were relentless in their act to conquer the Summerset Isles and there are few years in First and Second eras when they didn't ravage the coastlines. Every attack launched against the Summerset Isles was led by Orgnum himself, and despite numerous strategies, every attack was a failure.

The Second Aldmeri Dominion made an alliance with Maormer, but the Dominion allowed the kings of Colovia to eliminate the outposts established by Maormer on the western coast of mainland.

The last documented appearance of Maormer was in Third Era, more precisely 3E 110 during the War of the Isle. The united alliances of Summerset and Antiochus, combining the Imperial fleet and the navy of Summerset Isles and magical powers of the Psijic Order, destroyed Maormer invading army. It was said that the storm that Psijics created so annihilated Maormer fleet, that Orgnum was never again able to muster together the force to dare launch another attack.

Geography
In the year 2E 486, a small Maormer fleet was sighted of the coast of Alinor and king Hidellith ordered his navy to give chase. The navy followed the fleet deep into Pyandonea itself. There, they were ambushed and most of the Alinor navy was destroyed. However, a single warship survived and came back to Alinor. The crew described Pyandonea as sea jungle. Massive plateaus spilling over with vegetation form mazes around valleys of ocean. Mist storms spill over the land, further disorienting one's views and waving tendrils of kelp that trap all but Maormer's ships and provide good camouflage for the sea serpents that guard Orgnum. That even one ship survived was a testament to the maritime genius of the Altmer.
