Tamriel: Origins

G
Gangnamstein22

Wage war, forge empires, and uncover the secrets of the Elves who first shaped Tamriel’s fate.


Author's Note: Welcome to Tamriel: Origins, a deep-time Elder Scrolls campaign set long before the Empire, before the Septims, and even before written history. This world is rooted in the Middle to Late Merethic Era, a time of mythic wars, divine architecture, and rising Elven empires. In this setting, the Ayleids, Chimer, Dwemer, Falmer, Maormer, and more vie for power across a still-young Tamriel. Great Towers are constructed to shape reality. Daedric cults walk openly among mortal races. And the borders between gods and kings blur with every passing century. This campaign is built on strictly canonical Elder Scrolls lore, reconstructed from in-game texts like Before the Ages of Man, The Annotated Anuad, and The Monomyth. Some areas from later eras have been rewritten to reflect their ancient origins—or replaced entirely. Explore vast wildernesses, witness the founding of civilizations, and decide which myths survive into legend.

Description

A frozen, dying continent to the north of Tamriel, Atmora was once a land of forests, mountains, and ancient strength. Now gripped by endless winter and internecine war, its glory fades with each passing age. From here came the ancestors of Men—Nedic tribes, sea-kings, and Atmoran champions who sailed south in search of survival or conquest. In the Merethic Era, Atmora is fractured into clan realms and battlefields, its people hardened by famine and mythic bloodshed. Legends speak of cities swallowed by snow and beasts bred from the void. Yet even as it falls to ruin, Atmora remains sacred in the memories of its exiles, a land where Shor once walked and the Voice of the Sky first thundered.
