The Elder Scrolls RPG - History of Tamriel

HISTORY OF TAMRIEL
NOTICE: The following history lessons come from the Imperial Library, a fantastic
website, which contains all the lore, history, and info on the world of Nirn that one could
possible want.
Dawn Era
The Cosmos (Nir) is formed from the Aurbis (chaos, or totality) by Anu and Padomay.
Akatosh (Auriel) forms and Time starts. Gods (et'Ada) and Daedra materialize from the blood of Anu and
Padomay after their great battle over creation.
orkhan convinces!tricks the Gods to create the mortal "lane# $irn. The mortal "lane is highly magical and
dangerous. As the Gods %alk# its "hysical make&u" and even time itself becomes unstable.
'This (reator&Trickster&Tester deity is in every Tamrielic mythic tradition. )is most "o"ular
name is the Aldmeri 'orkhan#' or Doom Drum. )e convinced or contrived the *riginal +"irits
to bring about the creation of the ,ortal Plane# u"setting the status -uo much like his father
Padomay had introduced instability into the universe in the .eginning Place. After the %orld is
materialized# orkhan is se"arated from his divine center# sometimes involuntarily# and
%anders the creation of the et'Ada. /nter"retations of these events differ %idely by culture.'

The %ldmer +El*es/ lea*e the doomed and now.lost continent of %ldmeris +also
)nown as 0Old Ehlnofey0/ and settle Tamriel. Their first colonies are distributed widely
along the entire coast of Tamriel. Later inland settlements are founded primarily in
fertile lowlands in southwest and central Tamriel. The sophisticated, literate,
technologically ad*anced %ldmeri culture dri*es the beastfol) into the -ungles,
marshes, mountains, and wastelands. The %damantine Tower is redisco*ered and
captured by the 1irenni, a prominent and powerful %ldmeri clan. Crystal Tower is
built on $ummerset Isle and, later, 2hite.3old Tower in Cyrodiil.
1uring the iddle erethic Era, %ldmeri e4plorers map the coasts of 5*ardenfel,
building the foundation of the 6irst Era wi7ard towers at %ld (edaynia, &al 6ell, Tel
%ruhn, and Tel ora in orrowind.

out of their ancestral %ldmeri homelands to settle in the lands now )nown as
orrowind. 1espising the secular culture and profane practices of the 1wemer, the
Chimer also co*et the lands and resources of the 1wemer, and for centuries pro*o)e
them with minor raids and territorial disputes.6or more information: Lives of the

Circa 6leeing ci*il war and an increasingly frigid climate, 9sgramor and his men set sail
E :### from the northern continent of %tmora and land at 'saari) 'ead, the e4treme northern
tip of $)yrim0s &ro)en Cape. There the %tmorans build the legendary city of $aarthal
and ma)e first contact with the %ldmer or El*es of Tamriel.
The %tmorans and the El*es li*e in harmony for some time, but the relationship
;uic)ly turns hostile. In the city of $aarthal, the %tmorans find the Eye of agnus. %n
un)nown but powerful artifact that could endanger the world. The El*es learn this and
decides to secure the artifact. The 0Night of Tears0 happens, the city of $aarthal is
sac)ed and destroyed. 9sgramor escapes to %tmora and soon returns with his
legendary 6i*e 'undred Companions and e*entually ta)es the whole $)yrim from the
El*es, laying the foundations of first human empire in Tamriel. 'is people would later
come to be )nown as the Nords of $)yrim. The 1wemer in &lac)reach, deep beneath
$)yrim, are not affected by the war with the Nords.
Later on, 9sgramor de*elops a runic transcription of Nordic speech based on El*ish
principles and is the first human historian.

rebellion )nown as 0The 1ragon 2ar0 starts. Initially the Nords are crushed by the

5elothi high culture disappears on 5*ardenfell island. The earliest 1wemer 6reehold
colonies date from this period. The degenerate 5elothi ci*ili7ation de*ol*es into tribal
cultures, which, in time, e*ol*e into the modern 3reat 'ouses of orrowind, or
persists as the barbarian %shlander tribes. The only sur*i*ing traces of this tribal
culture are scattered 5elothi towers and %shlander nomads on 5*ardenfell Island. The
original 6irst Era 'igh El*en wi7ard towers along the coasts of Tamriel are also
abandoned about this time.

eanwhile, other human tribes li*e scattered throughout Tamriel, often under the
dominion of the culturally superior %ldmer:
"The Nedic peoples were a minority in a land of Elves, and had no choice
but to live peacefully with the Elder Race. In High Roc, Hammerfell,
!yrodiil, and possibly "orrowind, they did #ust that, and the Nedic
peoples flourished and e$panded over the last centuries of the "erethic

The peace between (esdayn0s two peoples disintegrates as 5ory 1agoth, the leader of the
Chimer 'ouse of 1agoth brings news about a grand 1wemeri pro-ect. The tonal architects of
the 1wemer with ,agrenac as their chief, ha*e unco*ered the 'eart of Lor)han and are
planning to use the dead god0s heart as the centerpiece of Numidium, a constructed god that
would allow the 1wemer people as a whole to transcend mortal e4istence. The Chimer
strongly disappro*e of the plan, considering it e4tremely blasphemous, while the 1wemer
feel their actions should not be -udged by the Chimer.
(epeated negotations between Indoril Nere*ar and 1umac fail to restore trust. The two
former friends ;uarrel bitterly and Nere*ar0s ad*isors call for war. In the cataclysmic &attle
of (ed ountain, the Chimer attac) the 1wemer strongholds on the flan)s of the
eponymous *olcano. Nere*ar, 1agoth, and a band of companions confront and )ill 1umac in
his citadel.
1uring the battle, the 1wemer people mysteriously *anish as a whole, including their e4iled
cousins of 5olenfell, presumably as a result of ,agrenac0s premature attempt to use his tools
on the 'eart. It remains unclear whether the disappearance of the 1wemer was a disastrous
failure or a success.
,agrenac0s tools are reco*ered by the Chimer. Nere*ar lea*es 1agoth to guard the tools in
the heart chamber, while he see)s the counsel of the Tribunal, his trusted ;ueen and generals:
%lmale4ia, 5i*ec and $otha $il. 1espite Nere*ar0s sincere reser*ations, the three persuade
him to preser*e and study the tools. %ll swear an oath upon %7ura ne*er to use the tools in
the manner the 1wemer had intended. Bpon returning to the 'eart Chamber, they find
1agoth irrationally reluctant to gi*e up the tools and are forced to ta)e them by force.
1agoth and his retinue manage to escape and are not heard of for many years.
%t some point Indoril Nere*ar dies, though the circumstances of his death are highly unclear.
The official stance of the later Tribunal Temple is that Nere*ar succumbed to gra*e wounds

antella is hurled to %etherius. %rctus retreats and without his life force, he goes into a
