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
A wiry, weathered male Nede cook in his late 60s, with brown skin wrinkled and tanned from years of hard labor. He has a patchy grey beard and sharp but tired dark eyes. He wears simple brown clothing stained with soot and food residue, and his hands are calloused and stained with spice and oil.
personality
Varan is deeply secretive, often staring at the floor when speaking. He has a quiet dignity and is known for his empathy and silent rebellion. Though outwardly submissive, his eyes gleam with knowledge of the inner workings of Garlas Malatar.
backstory
Varan has lived his entire life under Ayleid rule, serving the city’s overlords in various menial jobs. After years of oppression, he quietly listens to the hushed conversations in the barracks and has come to sympathize with the slaves' plight. He occasionally slips away from his cooking duties to pass along messages, hoping for a future revolt.
