RELATED: Elder Scrolls 6 Could Explore Hammerfell an the Sinistral Elves, But There's One Big Problemīeginning of Tamriel - The Wandering Ehlnofey and Old EhlnofeyĪncestors of men, the Wandering Ehlnofey were descendants of Aedra who landed on Nirn in the Dawn Era, the era preceding the Merethic Era. The events of Skyrimbegin to take place in the year 4E 201, and by this point in time, mirroring world-world events and reality, many races that resided in Tamriel have gone extinct naturally or through harrowing events.
Each province features its own set of races, playable or otherwise, but in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, many races make an appearance or are referenced in the expansive history. Much of Tamriel's history has it divided up into nine provinces, most of which have been either the main setting of a game or visitable by the player character. Lore creation is second to none in open-world games, but the Bethesda spared no expense over the years of the series' creation.
With the creation of this world came an astounding list of humanoid races that are each complex and diverse in their own ways. Tamriel, also known as Dawn's Beauty or Starry Heart, is the setting of Bethesda's fantasy video game series, The Elder Scrolls.
