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 burly male Ayleid smith with golden skin marked with soot and ash, standing tall with a muscular build. He has short black hair and a thick, neatly trimmed beard. His dark brown eyes convey warmth and understanding, contrasting with his gruff appearance. He wears heavy leather aprons and gloves, with boots caked in grime from the forge.
personality
Banthor is quiet, serious, and highly focused on his work. He prefers action over words and would rather show his loyalty to the oppressed through his work than speak about it. Despite his tough exterior, he harbors a deep sense of justice and compassion for those in need. He is extremely protective of those he cares about and will do whatever it takes to ensure their safety.
backstory
Banthor was born into a family of blacksmiths, but unlike his forefathers, he found himself growing increasingly resentful of the Ayleid regime. His experience as a slave’s son left him with a deep sense of empathy for the oppressed, and he began using his smithing skills to secretly dull weapons and tools. He never speaks of this openly, but there are those in the city who know that Banthor’s actions are motivated by a desire to aid the slaves. He also keeps a personal connection to Firalin, as the two often exchange news and support.
