The Universe of Tamriel

Introduction

This section presents the geographical, historical and cultural elements of The Elder Scrolls universe in the context of this campaign. The following information is based on official lore and fan-lore elements integrated into this adventure.

Temporal Context

The campaign takes place a few decades after the events of Skyrim (4th Era), as Tamriel enters a period of transition toward the 5th Era. The world is in turmoil: the Empire of Cyrodiil has weakened and must contend with the powerful Third Aldmeri Dominion (the Thalmor elves of Alinor).

Conflicts and Tensions

A precarious peace has existed since the Great War, but tensions remain high. Rumors circulate that the Thalmor are conducting esoteric experiments in the greatest secrecy. Players will evolve in a credible Tamriel very respectful of existing material, while exploring still unknown territories – including the possibility of venturing beyond the borders of the known world.
