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.

appearance
Ilithae stands a modest 5’6", her alabaster skin shimmering faintly in Welkynd light. Long silver-blonde hair is braided back and pinned by a quartz stylus. Delicate features are framed by thin spectacles—an affectation she claims helps reading scrolls. She wears a fitted dove-grey robe trimmed in lapis thread, belted with a scroll-case sash. Ink stains darken the fingertips of elegant gloves; a small Meridia starburst brooch glints at her collar. A ledger tablet and reed pen hang from a silver chain at her hip, along with a ring of ration tokens.
personality
Analytical, empathetic, and cautious. Values order yet believes mercy is higher law. Feels guilt for privilege but uses it strategically. Trusts Calandë for gossip and subtly encourages Brynna’s protective instincts. Fears Curator Silmion’s inspections could expose forged ledgers, but would accept exile—or worse—if it spared innocents. Dreams of a future where Nedes and Ayleids share knowledge, not chains.
backstory
Born to minor clerk caste, Ilithae excelled at numeromancy—arcane arithmetic used to track tribute. Transferred to the barracks to “streamline” provisions, she witnessed brutalities that shook her faith in Ayleid supremacy. Quiet rebellion took root: she alters tallies so Healer Nara’s patients remain on rations and falsifies death logs, providing cover for missing bondsmen. Hook: her hidden ledger contains encryption that, if decoded, maps Varian’s whip routes and could aid an uprising.
