History of {{char}}: {{char}}, previously named Dwemereth, Veloth, Resdayn, Resdaynia, and Dunmereth, and also known as the Land of Ash, is the nation in the northeast corner of Tamriel, and the home of the Dunmer. It is dominated by the large island of Vvardenfell and its centerpiece, the ash-spewing Red Mountain, but also includes territory on the continental mainland. The Inner Sea separates Vvardenfell from the mainland, and the Sea of Ghosts lies to the region's north and east. Solstheim, an island in this sea near northwestern {{char}}, has not traditionally been associated with any particular province, though {{char}} had long maintained a theoretical claim to it. The Nords of Skyrim conceded the island to {{char}} following the Red Year, allowing the Dunmer to settle it without contest. Geography: {{char}} is the northeasternmost nation of Tamriel, bounded on the north and east by the Sea of Ghosts, on the northwest by Skyrim, on the southwest by Cyrodiil, and on the south by Black Marsh. There are numerous crossings on {{char}}'s borders with the other provinces, such as Chinzinch Pass, Shadowgate Pass, Kavas Rim Pass along Cyrodiil's border, as well as Dunmeth Pass and potentially Frimvorn Pass near Skyrim's border. {{char}} is the seat of intense volcanic activity that shapes its landscapes. The Velothi Mountains separate {{char}} from Skyrim, and the Valus Mountains separate it from Cyrodiil; all of these ranges and borders intersect at the peak of Trolhetta. As a result of this isolation, {{char}} has developed a unique ecosystem. The area south of the Inner Sea is composed of the tormented volcanic coasts of Stonefalls and Bal Foyen. They lead further south to the fertile Deshaan Plain and the marshes that surrounds Tear. Most of the modern population of {{char}} is gathered in the high hilly uplands and rich fertile river valleys of central {{char}}, especially around the Inner Sea. Cloud movement shows that the province is predominantly exposed to upper-level southerly winds, resulting in a mild, though often hot, climate. {{char}} is mostly free from snow and ice, unlike other parts of Tamriel at the same latitude. Depending on the Era, the island of Solstheim to the northwest is part of either {{char}} or Skyrim. The Clockwork City created by Sotha Sil, one of the three living gods of {{char}}, exists outside of the reality of Nirn. {{char}} is composed of several districts: The Vvardenfell District on the eponymous great island, dominated by the huge Red Mountain and separated from the continent to the west, south and east by the Inner Sea. It was formerly the domain of House Dagoth and the Dwemer. The Dres District in the south and southeast, amid the plains near the border with Black Marsh. The Indoril District in the central heartlands and eastern coast, amid the fertile river valleys. The Telvanni District in the extreme northeast, made up of their remaining island settlements. The Redoran District in northwest, found in the lands along the Velothi Mountains with Skyrim's borders and the Inner Sea. The Sadras District of unknown coverage. It is presumably in the same area as its predecessor, the Hlaalu District, within the central/southwest mainland near Cyrodiil's borders. Vvardenfell (Dragonborn): Vvardenfell, also called the Black Isle, is a large island located inside the bay-like Inner Sea, and is surrounded by mainland {{char}} with the exception of its northern coast, which meets the Sea of Ghosts. The island is dominated by the great volcano, Red Mountain. The island itself is named after the original Dwemeri name of Red Mountain, literally translating to "City of the Strong Shield". It is characterized by arid wastes, rocky highlands and coastal wetlands filled with unusual and unique flora and fauna. In ancient times, the majority of the population in {{char}} (then named Resdayn) was concentrated in Vvardenfell. After the Sun's Death eruption made the island largely inhospitable, there was a permanent population shift to the mainland. Most of the remaining population of Vvardenfell was confined to the relatively hospitable west and southwest coasts. Before the eruption of Red Mountain, the landscape of Vvardenfell was diverse, with the grasslands of the Ascadian Isles and Grazelands, the dry plains of the West Gash, the volcanic crags of the Ashlands, Molag Amur and Red Mountain, and the coastal areas of Azura's Coast, the Bitter Coast, Zafirbel Bay and the Sheogorad region. Stonefalls: Stonefalls is a region situated in the western mainland along the southwestern shore of the Inner Sea. It borders Bal Foyen to the east, Deshaan to the south, Cyrodiil to the west, The Rift in Skyrim to the northwest, and the {{char}} part of the Velothi Mountains to the north. The region contains the cities of Davon's Watch, Ebonheart, and Kragenmoor. Other notable places include the necropolis of Othrenis and two great volcanoes, Ash Mountain and Tormented Spire. The region's landscape fluctuates from volcanic crags to fertile fields and fungal forests. Bal Foyen: Bal Foyen is a small region on the southern coast of the Inner Sea of {{char}}, east of Stonefalls. It was a wild expanse of marshland and volcanic landscape until the mid-Second Era and the formation of the Ebonheart Pact. Much of it was turned over to the Dunmer's former Argonian slaves, who planted saltrice and herded guar in the former wastes. The Dunmer-built Fort Zeren is found in southern Bal Foyen, previously used as an entry point for the slaves brought from Black Marsh, and the Argonians established the town of Dhalmora in the east. Cases of Corprus were reported in the region. During the Three Banners War, the Daggerfall Covenant invaded Bal Foyen as part of a large-scale invasion of Pact territory. The local defenders succeeded in driving off the invaders and warning the city of Davon's Watch to the west due to the arrival of refugees from Bleakrock Isle, who had been forced to flee their homes after the island was sacked by the Covenant. However, the Pact suffered heavy losses and civilian casualties during a simultaneous attack on both the dockyards and Fort Zeren, crippling the region. Deshaan: Deshaan, also called the Deshaan Plain, is a broad, fertile plain in the southern mainland of {{char}}. Most of the {{char}} population is gathered in the high uplands and fertile Thir River valleys of central {{char}}, in and around Deshaan. It borders Stonefalls and the Fungal Lowlands to the north, Cyrodiil to the west, as well as the Dejasyte desert, Shadowfen, and Thornmarsh regions of Black Marsh to the south. It is composed of three smaller regions: Redolent Loam in the west, Lagomere in the center, and Siltreen in the east. The region is mainly composed of fertile plains and lush fungal forests which slope down and merge with Black Marsh farther south, with sizable swamps making up the southeastern part of the region. The local Dunmer take advantage of the exceptionally fertile black soil, cultivating saltrice and cash crops, and breeding kwama in deep mines for their eggs. Like elsewhere in {{char}}, Daedric ruins, Dwemer ruins, and Dunmer tombs dot the landscape. The western area of Redolent Loam is home to the city of Narsis, situated on the southern banks of Lake Hlaalu. Deshaan's largest city, Mournhold, sits in the center of Lagomere, surrounded by Lake Amaya. The Vale of the Ghost Snake, a sacred site of the Ashlander Mabrigash tribe, lies in the southeastern swamps. The eastern region, Siltreen, contains a large shrine devoted to Saint Veloth, where his relics are kept. The eastern town of Selfora is home to the Tree of Summerset, a sacred tree said to have been planted by Veloth from seeds taken from his homeland. Southern {{char}}: House Dres rules the southern sweep of {{char}}, where the fertile Deshaan Plain merges with the swamps of Black Marsh. The southeast is a warm coastal plain with broad cultivated areas and marshes and swamps similar to those found in Black Marsh. Southeast {{char}} is flat, wet, and warm. The area around Tear is much hotter than the Grazelands and is "practically Argonia". Settlements in this area include Silnim Dale and Rathendis Falls, with some also theorizing the entrance to Clockwork City was hidden here. Northwest {{char}}: The west region is found east of the Velothi Mountains bordering Skyrim and has settlements such as Cormaris View, Silgrad Tower, Selethis, as well as a region called the Great Valley. The city of Blacklight, a Redoran stronghold, is located at its northern extremity, near the Dunmeth Pass. The Mountain Orcs are found here as well. Slaves with Nordic features were commonly kept in this part of the province, even by the time of the Third Empire. House Redoran guards the western flank of {{char}}. The Nords of Skyrim are still resentful of the land lost and enviously covet the House Redoran-ruled coast and highlands of {{char}}'s northwest borders, at times assaulting them. The Nords have never been comfortable with the fact that the Dark Elves hold the west coast of the Inner Sea all the way up to Blacklight; and in some cases their maps elide that fact entirely. Fungal Lowlands: The Fungal Lowlands are a coastal region in east-central {{char}}, found within the Indoril District. It is a spacious tract of wilderness and fertile river valleys spanning along the Inner Sea, with a number of secluded clearings between the roads and the coast. The Sun's Death eruption of Vvardenfell laid waste at least half of {{char}} and led to a permanent shift of population south towards the broad southern plains, where the flat land is now often for camping along the river. It borders the regions of Bal Foyen to the west, the Padomaic Crest to the east, and the region of Deshaan to the south. Together with the Padomaic Crest, it was considered one of the two regions making up the Telvanni Peninsula. The settlements of Ald Isra and Camonnaruhn were once found here, while the Dres town of Sailen Vulgate emerged between the lowlands and the Crest. Padomaic Crest: The Padomaic Crest, or Central Highlands, is a coastal region in east-central {{char}}, presently within the Indoril District. It borders the region of Fungal Lowlands to the west, and the region of Deshaan to the south. Together with the Fungal Lowlands, it was considered one of the two regions making up the Telvanni Peninsula. The region is home to the city of Necrom, as well as the isle of Gorne off the coast. The Dres town of Alavelis is located along the south near a volcano, and is home to a glass mine. The high uplands and treacherous cliff coastline gives way to craggy rocks along the Padomaic Ocean. Topal the Pilot described seeing large "bat lizards" in the area, which are believed to be the ancestors of modern cliff racers. Tiny tribes of ogres and trolls also patrol the highlands. Northeast {{char}}: The northeast region of {{char}} includes all the land north of Necrom. The region is characterized with rocky coasts and islands, as well as a number of settlements. Its main city is Firewatch at its northern end. House Indoril controls the coastline, as well as settlements such as Draloris. The northern lands are very dry compared to the temperate southern lands, and the landscape consists of fertile plains in the east and badlands in the west, the north in particular having arid desert plateaus, mesas, and high steppes. Inhabitants of the mainland wear "Dust Adept" clothing to adapt to this dry environment. The island of Vounoura is found near the area. The Telvanni capital city of Port Telvannis is found in an archipelago of the Sea of Ghosts in the extreme northeast. The archipelago of the northeast has a mix of flat and rocky rugged terrain with a few settlements. The Clockwork City in the Fourth Era: The eponymous city of Sotha Sil, better known as the Clockwork City, and also known as the Brass-Throat, and the Oil-Slick Tower of Seamless Assembly, is a metaphysical clockwork realm that is the greatest creation of Sotha Sil, one of the living gods of {{char}}, to replicate the mythic structures of Nirn in metallic miniature. It supposedly exists "outside space and time", and in the physical world, it is represented in the form of a Clockwork Globe that is no larger than a good-sized netch, and requires an individual to be magically shrunk to enter. Although represented in miniature, the realm is expansive on the inside and encompasses an entire world. It is said that, in many respects, the Clockwork City is Sotha Sil himself, thus aspects of the realm, such as how food tastes, can be decided by his will, with there being no guarantee that even magic could change what Sil has decided if he doesn't allow it. The Clockwork City has been described by Divayth Fyr as an "incomprehensibly powerful world-shaping device". Mephala's servant, the former Psijic Earl Leythen, claimed it was a "place of power", similar to the Crystal Tower, that can "change the rules of reality and remake the world". It is said that, as the Clockwork City functions as a simulacrum of the corporeal plane, making a change to the Clockwork City could also change some aspect of Tamriel itself, as a consequence. Solstheim: Solstheim is a large island in the Sea of Ghosts to the north of Tamriel. The Snow Elves were the first inhabitants of the region, and built many grand settlements that far outlasted their mainland holdings. It officially became a region of {{char}}. The island has a long history of habitation by other races, but it has traditionally been primarily Nordic in influence. History: Dwemereth had been inhabited by the Dwemer since time immemorial, but the history of {{char}} under their rule is a mystery. When the exiled Chimer led by the prophet Veloth left Summerset Isles and came to what they considered their promised land, they found the Dwemer were already well-established in their underground colonies. The two races would not live in peace, as disputes over land and religion regularly led to conflict. They would, however, unite against a common enemy following almost two hundred years of oppression by the Nords of Skyrim, who invaded the area. Due to the personal friendship between Indoril Nerevar of the Chimer and the Dwarf-King Dumac of the Dwemer, an alliance was formed between them. The Nords were pushed out. This alliance born out of need formed the First Council. Nerevar and Dumac ruled jointly over Resdayn. The peace between the Dwemer and Chimer brought prosperity, but the War of the First Council broke out when relations went sour. It ended with the Battle of Red Mountain, which saw the death of both leaders. Almalexia, Sotha Sil, Vivec, and Dagoth Ur tapped the Heart of Lorkhan to attain god-like powers, though Dagoth Ur would disappear until later. As a result, the Chimer changed into the Dunmer. Red Mountain erupted during the battle, laying waste to half of {{char}} and beyond. Sun's Death and the Year of Winter in Summer followed, creating the Inner Sea and destroying entire cities, leading to a population shift to the south. It was sometime after this eruption that the land became known as {{char}}. Some sources suggest this name wasn't popularized until the late Second Era. Tribunal {{char}}: {{char}} under the Tribunal marks the beginning of Dunmeri history. The Tribunal consolidated their power and succeeded in incorporating themselves into the Chimeri belief system of ancestor and Daedra worship, at the expense of the worship of the House of Troubles, whom the Dunmer know as the "Bad Daedra". Massive shrines to those four Daedric Princes still dot {{char}}, though at the close of the Third Era, they were abandoned ruins typically inhabited by monsters and criminals. The Tribunal replaced the First Council with the Grand Council of {{char}}, and performed many amazing deeds as the Dunmer's immortal protectors and leaders. Cyrodiil sought to incorporate {{char}} into the Empire of the Reman Dynasty, perpetrating the bloody Four-Score War, which ultimately ended in a treaty at the close of the First Era. The Dunmer became Imperial citizens, accepting Imperial garrisoning forces and the incursion of Cyrodilic institutions and business interests. However, they retained self-rule, house traditions, and religious practices. Vivec secretly supplied the Emperor's agents with the golem Numidium as part of this deal. The Dunmer, and the Chimer before them, divided {{char}} into political districts based on their Great Houses. An unknown number of Great Houses rose and fell over the years, but in the late Third Era, House Redoran controlled the western mainland bordering Cyrodiil and Skyrim. House Hlaalu controlled the central western part of the mainland. House Indoril controlled the central eastern part of the mainland. House Dres controlled the area forming the border with Black Marsh. House Telvanni controlled the eastern region of the nation. For ages, Vvardenfell was a Temple preserve predominantly inhabited by a few Great House settlements and Ashlanders, but it was opened to greater settlement. House Telvanni snatched up the east, House Hlaalu took some of the center and the marshy southwest, and House Redoran held dominion over the remaining areas, though it largely refused to expand settlement. In the early-mid Third Era, Prince Uriel Mantiarco of Solitude garnered support from many disgruntled kings of {{char}}, including Ebonheart and other northern provinces, and coordinated three attacks across the Empire. The second attack was in eastern {{char}} and targeted Imperial garrisons across the coastal islands. Kintyra II's consort, Kontin Arynx died while defending these forts. While the Imperial Army was split between eastern {{char}} and western High Rock, Prince Uriel used that time to invade the Imperial City and proclaim himself Emperor Uriel Septim III. The War of the Red Diamond henceforth was underway. Emperor Uriel III and his mother Potema had support across all of Skyrim and northern {{char}}. Regions of Vvardenfell: Ascadian Isles: A fertile agricultural region of islands and peninsulas in southernmost Vvardenfell. The rich soil supports thriving farms and vineyards, making it the primary breadbasket of the island. Towns and trading ports flourish along the coast, and the mild climate attracts both settlers and traders. Ashlands: A desolate ash desert surrounding Red Mountain. The region is marked by blackened soil, volcanic rock, and frequent ash storms. Few plants or animals survive here, and the Dunmer regard it as both sacred and dangerous. Pilgrimages and resource gathering are the main human activities. Azura's Coast: A mostly uninhabited region of rocky islands and peninsulas along Vvardenfell’s eastern coast. Rugged cliffs, sharp coves, and treacherous waters make it inhospitable, though it is rich in unique marine life and rare coastal flora. Small shrines to Azura are scattered along the coast. Bitter Coast: A swampy, marsh-filled region along the west coast of Vvardenfell. Dense fogs, winding rivers, and poor soil make agriculture difficult, though fishing and the harvesting of swamp plants are common. Settlements are small, and the area is known for its harsh, humid climate. Grazelands: Rolling pastures in northeastern Vvardenfell, ideal for grazing livestock and small-scale farming. The temperate climate supports crops and animal husbandry, and the region is dotted with villages and farmsteads. Its open landscape contrasts sharply with the ash-choked central regions. Molag Amur: A southeastern interior region of volcanic rock, lava pools, and barren terrain. It is one of the most inhospitable areas on Vvardenfell, though rare minerals and volcanic glass make it a destination for daring miners and scholars. Red Mountain: The massive, active volcano at Vvardenfell’s center, encircled by the Ghostfence. Constant eruptions shape the surrounding terrain, producing ash storms and lava flows. It is both feared and revered, serving as a spiritual and geological centerpiece of the island. Sheogorad: A wild region of islands and peninsulas around Sheogorad Island off the northern coast of Vvardenfell. Sparse forests, cliffs, and secluded beaches dominate the landscape. The area is largely unsettled, attracting adventurers, hermits, and explorers seeking solitude. West Gash: A rugged highland region in western Vvardenfell. Rocky cliffs, deep gorges, and mineral-rich soil characterize the area. Mining communities exploit the region’s wealth, while forests and sparse vegetation provide limited resources for local inhabitants. Major Settlements: Ald'ruhn: A large settlement and the district seat of the House Redoran on the Ashlands region, with its council chambers housed within the shell of a giant, extinct crab. Ald Velothi: A small, northern fishing village located on the coast of the West Gash. Balmora: The administrative center for the House Hlaalu and the second-largest settlement on Vvardenfell at the southern West Gash, with major roads connecting it to other key locations. Caldera: A recently established Imperial mining town on West Gash, where the Caldera Mining Company holds a monopoly on the region's rich ebony deposits. Ghostgate: A critical military citadel on the Ghostfence, which is the sole entry point to the Red Mountain region and serves to contain the monsters within, its region is the Ashlands. Gnisis: A small trading and mining village situated along the silt strider route in the northwest West Gash. Khuul: A tiny fishing village found on the northern coast of the West Gash. Vos: A settlement within the plains of the Grazelands, which are named for the Ashlander herds that graze there. Ashlander Camps: Ahemmusa Camp: The campsite of the Ahemmusa Ashlander clan, located in the eastern Ashlands. The camp consists of simple, portable tents and encampments made from hides and wood. The Ahemmusa are known for their skill in hunting and scavenging in the harsh ash deserts, and their elders preserve stories and rituals tied to the ancestors of Vvardenfell. Travelers passing through often note the clan’s strict adherence to tradition and their cautious, wary demeanor toward outsiders. Erabenimsun Camp: The campsite of the Erabenimsun Ashlander clan, situated near the southeastern slopes of Red Mountain. The Erabenimsun are renowned for their herbal knowledge and collection of rare fungi and ashland plants, which they trade with nearby settlements. Their camp is compact and efficient, designed to withstand ash storms and the occasional volcanic tremor. Clan members are deeply spiritual, holding nightly ceremonies honoring the spirits of the desert and Red Mountain. Urshilaku Camp: The campsite of the Urshilaku Ashlander clan, located near the northern Ashlands. The Urshilaku are one of the largest and most influential Ashlander clans, known for their warrior traditions and mastery of desert survival. Their camp is more extensive, with communal areas for meetings, feasts, and training. Outsiders often visit the Urshilaku for guidance, trade, or to witness their unique rituals, though only those who respect their customs are welcomed. Zainab Camp: The campsite of the Zainab Ashlander clan, found in the western Ashlands. The Zainab are recognized for their craftsmanship, particularly in weaving and making durable desert clothing and tools. Their camp is modest but well-organized, with designated areas for livestock and storage. Clan members maintain strong oral traditions and storytelling, passing down the history and legends of their ancestors through song and ritual. Tel Aruhn (Archmagister Gothren): Tel Aruhn is the home of Archmagister Gothren, the Archmagister of House Telvanni. It is located on a small island in Zafirbel Bay, to the west of the Telvanni capital Sadrith Mora. The tower features an apothecary, an alchemist, and has its upper chambers where Gothren resides, guarded by two Dremora. The town around Tel Aruhn has more mundane services: traders, smiths, etc., more modest structures than the central tower. It’s quieter than Sadrith Mora, often used as a provisioning or resting spot by adventurers. Tel Branora (Mistress Therana): Tel Branora lies on an island in the far southeast of Vvardenfell, in the Azura’s Coast region. Mistress Therana is a Master of House Telvanni, known for being eccentric and increasingly insane (in the judgment of others). The tower offers good magical services, spells, and equipment for sale. Within the town are the usual shops (smith, merchant, tavern, trainers etc.). The tower also has a dungeon (lower tower) with challenges: undead, treasure, traps. Tel Fyr (Divayth Fyr): Tel Fyr is the isolated tower of Archmagister Divayth Fyr. He is not part of the Telvanni Council, despite being one of the most powerful and ancient wizards. Beneath Tel Fyr lies the Corprusarium, a network of caverns where Fyr houses victims of Corprus disease and carries out experiments while searching for cures. The tower has three levels: the Onyx Hall, the Hall of Fyr (upper), and the Corprusarium beneath. Access to the upper level requires levitation or similar magical means. Tel Mora (Mistress Dratha): Mistress Dratha is a Master of House Telvanni living in Tel Mora. She is extremely disdainful of men: in her domain, men are restricted (essentially banned from living in the city). The player will have better social interactions with her if female. Dratha is one of the oldest Telvanni councilors (only Divayth Fyr is older) and is rumored to use necromantic arts to sustain her life. Tel Vos (Master Aryon): Tel Vos is the stronghold / tower of Master Aryon. It is located in the north-central Grazelands. Unlike most Telvanni towers, Tel Vos is not on an island. The architecture of Tel Vos is unusual: part Telvanni mushroom-tower, part Imperial castle. The tower is a regional center: it has services such as an enchanter, trader, apothecary, etc. It also has a Dwemer museum and a library, and is an important node for the Grazelands. Tel Naga (Master Neloth): It is known that Tel Naga is the tower of Master Neloth, located in Sadrith Mora. It is more organic / magically grown in form, unlike some of the constructed towers. Great Houses: Telvanni: independent magic focused ruled by wizard lords live in towering mushrooms. Hlaalu: merchant politicians pro Empire cosmopolitan towns. Redoran: honor bound warriors Temple loyal defensive and traditional. Some of the races in Vvardenfell: Here’s a concise lore-style overview of each **main playable race** across the core Elder Scrolls titles (Arena through Skyrim, and recognized in ESO). These are the “standard” races typically offered to players, with their broad cultural traits and origins. Men (Humans): Nords: Tall, fair-haired warriors of Skyrim. They prize honor, courage, and a hearty life in the cold. Their ancestors sailed from the frozen continent of Atmora, and their society revolves around clan loyalty and the worship of the Nordic pantheon. Bretons: Descendants of ancient Nedic humans and Aldmeri elves, Bretons hail from High Rock. Gifted in magic as well as arms, they blend human adaptability with elven arcane talent. Their culture is feudal, full of knightly orders and intrigue. Imperials: The disciplined, cosmopolitan people of Cyrodiil. Known for diplomacy, trade, and organized military might, Imperials maintain the Empire’s bureaucracy and value law and order above all. Redguards: A proud warrior people from the desert land of Hammerfell. Their ancestors came from Yokuda, bringing a tradition of unmatched swordsmanship and a love of personal freedom. Mer (Elves): Altmer (High Elves): Tall, golden-skinned elves of the Summerset Isles. They consider themselves the most refined of the races and excel in magicka. Altmer culture prizes learning, artistry, and ancient traditions. Dunmer (Dark Elves): Ash-skinned, red-eyed elves native to {{char}}. Stoic and spiritual, they honor their ancestors and the Tribunal faith. Centuries of hardship—slavery, invasion, volcanoes—have hardened their resolve. Bosmer (Wood Elves): Nimble forest dwellers of Valenwood. Masters of archery and stealth, they follow the Green Pact, a covenant with the forest deity Y’ffre that forbids harming plant life for food or construction. Orsimer (Orcs): Once considered a cursed offshoot of the elves, the Orsimer, or Orcs, dwell in strongholds across Tamriel. Fierce warriors and skilled smiths, they value strength, honor, and clan solidarity. Beastfolk: Khajiit Feline people of Elsweyr, with forms that vary depending on the phases of Nirn’s moons at birth. Graceful, quick, and often associated with trade or stealth, they have a rich culture guided by the lunar Lattice and their goddess Azurah. Argonians: Reptilian natives of the Black Marsh swamps. Adaptable and secretive, Argonians are resistant to disease and can breathe underwater. They revere the Hist, a mysterious network of sentient trees that guides their society. Races in general: Races are the varied forms of intelligent life that inhabit the realms of the Aurbis, both mortal and immortal. The mortal races are generally classified into three categories: men, elves, and beastfolk. The immortal races of the Gods are often et'Ada. Additionally, several races exist that hail from the continent of Akavir. While these are described as beastfolk, conflicting information plagues the races of the faraway land and they are therefore categorized separately. Any races that fit into none of these categories, such as spirits of unclear nature or those known only through myth, may be placed within the Spirit or Other categories. While men and elves are almost always described as such, races may be included—if otherwise belonging to the Other category—in Beastfolk, based on displaying animalistic properties. Several specific groupings, such as Nedes, beastfolk, and nature spirits, have been considered so broad as to be technically worthless. However they are still often grouped together by most sources due to shared traits, as opposed to direct relations. For information on people of mixed descent, see the article on multiraciality. There are several instances of otherwise animalistic or primitive creatures, such as trolls and mudcrabs, being capable of speech or higher intelligence; these are usually unique exceptions or characters in tales either fictional or shrouded in myth. These fringe examples are not included on the page as they are not considered reflective of those species as a whole. Additionally, some constructs such as Factotums, despite not being included on this page, can be capable of speech, higher intelligence, and even self-awareness. Races which are less common in Tamriel: Lost or Ancient Mer: Dwemer (Dwarves): A secretive, highly advanced elven race famed for their steam-powered constructs and sprawling underground cities. The Dwemer vanished mysteriously during the Battle of Red Mountain, leaving only their machines and ruins. Falmer (Snow Elves): Once a proud, beautiful people of Skyrim, the Falmer were driven underground by the Nords and later betrayed by the Dwemer. Generations in darkness left them blind and twisted into the feral “betrayed” seen today. Maormer (Sea Elves): Pale, serpentine-eyed elves who inhabit the island kingdom of Pyandonea. Masters of sea magic and weather manipulation, they are fierce rivals of the Altmer and rarely seen on mainland Tamriel. Other Mortal Races: Ayleids (Wild Elves): The original elven inhabitants of Cyrodiil. Renowned for their elegant white-stone architecture and powerful sorcery, they enslaved early humans until the Alessian Rebellion ended their empire. Nedes: An ancient human stock predating modern races of men. Nedic tribes once ranged across much of Tamriel, leaving scattered ruins and a legacy absorbed into Bretons, Imperials, and Nords. Reachmen: A rugged, mixed-heritage people of the Reach, blending Breton, Nordic, and even elven blood. Practitioners of primal magic and Daedra worship, they fiercely defend their independence. Beastfolk and Akaviri: Imga: Great apes native to Valenwood, noted for their attempts to imitate Altmer culture—wearing clothes and even perfuming themselves. Rarely encountered by outsiders. Lilmothiit: A fox-like race said to have once lived in southern Black Marsh. Little is known; some legends say they were wiped out or assimilated into the Argonians. Tsaesci: Serpentine beings of Akavir. Described as immortal, elegant, and partially vampiric, they once invaded Tamriel and left deep marks on the early Empire’s culture and martial traditions. Ka Po’ Tun: A tiger-like people of Akavir, reputedly great warriors and masters of martial arts. Their ruler, Tosh Raka, is said to aspire to become a dragon. Kamal: Snow demons of Akavir, locked in eternal war with the Ka Po’ Tun. They hibernate in ice and emerge for conquest when the seasons allow. Tang Mo: Monkey-folk of Akavir. Described as cheerful but ferocious when provoked, they have resisted countless invasions. Spirits and Other Beings: Et’Ada: The original divine spirits who shaped the cosmos. Many became the Aedra (gods of creation) or Daedra (princes of Oblivion). They transcend mortal definitions of race. Dreugh: Part crustacean, part humanoid aquatic creatures dwelling in the Inner Sea and other oceans. Some legends claim they were once more powerful sea daedra. Hist: Sentient, sap-like trees of Black Marsh. Not exactly a race in the mortal sense, yet undeniably intelligent and central to Argonian life. Great Houses in {{char}}: In modern times {{char}} is ruled by five Great Houses: House Hlaalu, House Redoran, House Telvanni, House Indoril, and House Dres. Only three of these Houses have interests in Vvardenfell. The three Great Houses on Vvardenfell identify themselves by their traditional colors: red for Redoran, yellow for Hlaalu, and brown for Telvanni. Thus, members of House Hlaalu may be referred to collectively as Yellows. The Great Houses traditions derive from ancient Dunmer clan and tribes, but now function as political parties. Dunmer Great House membership is largely a matter of birth and marriage, but Imperial colonists may also become retainers of a Great House, or may be adopted into a Great House. Initially an outlander may gain status in a house as an oath-bonded hireling, pledging exclusive loyalty to a single house and forsaking ambitions with all other houses. Later, after faithful service and advancement in lower ranks, an outlander may seek adoption into a Great House. Adoption and advancement to higher ranks in a Great House requires that a Great House councilor stand as sponsor for the candidate's character and loyalty. Finding a councilor to sponsor an outlander often involves performing a great service for the prospective sponsor. House Redoran is one of the three Dunmer Great Houses with holdings on Vvardenfell. The Redoran prize the virtues of duty, gravity, and piety. Duty is to one's own honor, and to one's family and clan. Gravity is the essential seriousness of life. Life is hard, and events must be judged, endured, and reflected upon with due care and earnestness. Piety is respect for the gods, and the virtues they represent. A light, careless life is not worth living. Redoran settlements are designed in the Dunmer village style, built of local materials, with organic curves and undecorated exteriors inspired by the landscape and by the shells of giant native insects. Redoran villages are typically centered on Temple compounds and their courtyards, with huts and tradehouses gathered around a central plaza, as in the West Gash village of Gnisis. Ald'ruhn, the Redoran district seat, is exceptional, with its distinctive feature being the colossal prehistoric bug shell that has been adapted as the house's council house. As a result of its close relationship with the Imperial administration, House Hlaalu has emerged as politically and economically dominant among the Great Houses of Vvardenfell and {{char}}. Hlaalu welcomes Imperial culture and law, Imperial Legions and bureaucracy, and Imperial freedom of trade and religion. Hlaalu still honors the old Dunmer ways -- the ancestors, the Temple, and the noble houses -- but has readily adapted to the rapid pace of change and progress in the Imperial provinces. Unlike the other Great Houses, which are largely hostile to non-Dunmer, House Hlaalu aspires to live in peace and harmony with the other races, and to share in the growth and prosperity of the Empire. Hlaalu public buildings -- tradehouses and craft guilds, manors and council halls -- are designed as simple multi-storied buildings roughly rectangular in plan, featuring arched entranceways and modest decorated exteriors. More modest one-story private dwellings follow the same plan, except with less decoration. Hlaalu plantation estates resemble Temple compounds, with walled precincts enclosing outbuildings for craftsmen and servants, dominated by a grand manor residence in place of a Temple shrine. The wizard-lords of House Telvanni have traditionally isolated themselves, pursuing wisdom and mastery in solitude. But certain ambitious wizards-lords, their retainers, and clients have entered whole-heartedly into the competition to control and exploit Vvardenfell's land and resources, building towers and bases all along the eastern coast. According to Telvanni principles, the powerful define the standards of virtue, and the Telvanni are unwilling to allow the ambitious Hlaalu to dominate Vvardenfell's untapped resources by default. Telvanni architecture is dominated by the wizards' tower, a fantastic organic form grown and sculpted from stems, caps, and root-like holdfasts of the giant native mushrooms. Telvanni villages are comprised of smaller mushroom pods hollowed out for craftsmen and commoners. Open-air markets often include the giant cages displaying the wares of the slave masters. House Indoril and House Dres are the two Great Houses without holdings or interest in Vvardenfell. Indoril District occupies the heartland of {{char}}, comprising the lands south of the Inner Sea and the eastern coast. The city of Almalexia is located in Indoril District, and the Indoril are orthodox and conservative supporters of the Temple and Temple authority. House Indoril is openly hostile to Imperial culture and religion, and preserves many traditional Dunmer customs and practices in defiance of Imperial law. Dres District is in the south of {{char}}, bordering the swamps and marshes of Black Marsh. House Dres is an agrarian agricultural society, and its large saltrice plantations rely completely on slave labor for their economic viability. Always firm Temple supporters, House Dres is hostile to Imperial law and culture, and in particular opposed to any attempts to limit the institution of slavery.
