The Countries & Politics of Tamriel: An Introduction to Elder Scrolls Lore
The Elder Scrolls is a popular series of action role-playing video games developed by Bethesda Game Studios. Set in the fictional continent of Tamriel, the games take place in a rich and diverse world filled with unique countries, cultures, and political factions. In this article, we will provide an introduction to the countries and politics of Tamriel, offering a glimpse into the intricate lore and history that has captivated fans for decades.
Tamriel is home to nine distinct provinces, each with its own government, rulers, and geopolitical landscape. At the heart of the continent lies the Imperial City, seat of the Empire of Tamriel, which has historically been the dominant political force in the region. However, as players explore the vast and varied landscapes of the Elder Scrolls games, they will encounter a wide range of countries and political entities, each with its own fascinating backstory and complex dynamics.
One of the most iconic provinces in Tamriel is Skyrim, a rugged and mountainous region known for its fierce warriors and ancient traditions. Skyrim is home to the Nords, a proud and hardy people who value strength and honor above all else. The province has a long history of resistance against foreign invaders and is the setting for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, one of the most beloved games in the series.
Another prominent province is Morrowind, a land of ashen wastelands and towering mushrooms inhabited by the exotic Dark Elves, or Dunmer. The political landscape of Morrowind is shaped by the powerful Great Houses, each vying for dominance and control over the region. The province is also home to the ancient temple of the Tribunal, a religious and political institution that plays a significant role in the province’s history and culture.
The Elder Scrolls series also explores the political dynamics of Cyrodiil, the heartland of the Empire and the seat of power for the ruling Septim Dynasty. As players navigate the political intrigue and power struggles of Cyrodiil, they will encounter a wide array of factions and organizations vying for influence and dominance, from the mysterious and enigmatic Thieves Guild to the noble and chivalrous Knights of the Nine.
Beyond these provinces, players will also encounter the varied political landscapes of Hammerfell, High Rock, Valenwood, Elsweyr, and the Summerset Isles, each with its own unique history, culture, and political factions. From the desert warriors of Hammerfell to the mysterious wood elves of Valenwood, the countries and politics of Tamriel are as diverse and engaging as its breathtaking landscapes and dynamic gameplay.
The intricate lore and political dynamics of Tamriel have been a central aspect of the Elder Scrolls series since its inception, capturing the imaginations of players and fans around the world. As players delve into the rich tapestry of Tamriel’s history and politics, they will encounter a world teeming with conflict, intrigue, and power struggles, providing a compelling backdrop for the epic adventures that have made the series a beloved fixture in the world of gaming.
In conclusion, the countries and politics of Tamriel offer a captivating and immersive glimpse into the rich lore and history of the Elder Scrolls series. From the snow-covered peaks of Skyrim to the ashen wastelands of Morrowind, the continent of Tamriel is a vibrant and diverse world filled with compelling political factions and dynamic landscapes. Whether delving into the halls of power in Cyrodiil or embarking on a daring quest in the wilds of Valenwood, players of the Elder Scrolls series will find themselves immersed in a world of endless possibilities and rich storytelling.

Love these videos mate!
ESO is an absolute lore disaster
Oh good Tribunal, the Ebonheart Pact always makes no sense to me at all. Don't care what happened to form it. The Nords and Dunmer hate each other, the Argonians hate the Dunmer, the Dunmer think of the Argonians as nothing more than slightly sentient farm tools and I'm pretty sure that the battle between the three factions vs. the Akaviri army, was the first time that almost 99% of the Nords there saw an Argonian for the first time.
So basically argonians got "Get out of my swamp" mentality?
Forth era situation.
Ulfric probably knew Torygg would agree to Skyrim's independence. But he wanted the power anyway.
Thank you for this/those summaries of the extensive universe. SO complicated and I understood most of you tell. But you summarize it so good that I must give you a like a share your videos to friends and fans of the series that I know. Truly, thanks….
You are Dutch aren't you?
I still think the Ebonheart Pact is bullshit. It really was a case of "Oh crap, we have three races left that have nothing in common and actually hate each other. Let's make something up."
Didn't Bethesda say ESO is not canon?
I always find it so funny how Ulfric just shot himself in the foot getting his God hard banned instead of soft banned lol
Though he just shoots himself in the foot multiple times here.
That one general allowing Talos worship without orders from higher up, causing a massive international diplomatic incident is such a realistic scenario.
It's very rare for lore writers to integrate incompetency in to their characters
Insane how much lore there is in elder scrolls, really makes its universe feel alive
Thalmor in second Era: tolerant and accepts khajiit and bosmer and loyal to the best queen
Thalmor in fourth era: ELVEN SUPREMACY
Great job with the maps! Much appreciated.
Thanks the maps and well done narration, TES lore scratches my high fantasy itch
I don't know if we have enough evidence for a whole video on this, but I've always been intrigued on how fast species/races evolve in TES (only taking a few hundred-thousand years)
Any ideas?
By the 8th.
Become a Catholic to save your soul
such good videos man
I love how in depth your videos are. I've listened to this video a few times while I'm at work.
I prefer bretons, I think they are the best nation. With architecture, magical powers and various knights
Politics is bad, because society is corrupted. Corruption and kleptocracy that is what killing Tamriel, not even daedra or ancient evil.
incredible videos as always my dude!!
Man, your so dedicated to Elder scrolls lore, let me tell you it’s much appreciated!
Great work
Thank you for this video! It absolutely helps beginners like me who really only have a basic perspective and understanding of the lore.
At 36:40, that is such lazy writing on the developers part. “Oh well Whiterun was neutral in TES V so let’s make it neutral back in the 2nd era, durr” like nah, we can safely presume that the Whiterun of the 2nd Era is not the same as Balgruuf’s Whiterun in the 4th era. It’s like an 8 year old child wrote this shit. This is why I DONT want TES VI. Mark my words but it will be the death of this Franchise and it won’t be pretty. Skyrim had better writing than this, and Skyrim is not the most “intelligent” entry in the series.
For the algorithm
Enhanced my knowledge about TES lore
It was gorgeous work, thank you for covering such a giant and interesting topick about TES
Good video! Thanks!
