The land froze, with a dread wind, so that nothing could grow there again. The orders of the Dragon Priests were founded on Atmora, lawgivers, advisors to kings, who sought to act as intermediaries between men and dragons.īut this age of barbarism came to an end as an endless winter came upon Atmora. The other gods, too, they worshiped, often in the shape of animals the great Dragon Akatosh was among these, and his children, the Dragons, were held in awe and reverence by the warrior men of old. But the Nedes held great faith in Shor, Son of Shor, and his wife Kyne, who had breathed them into existence when they created the world.
It was here that the Nedes lived a primitive life, as nomadic hunters, while elves built great cities in the lands to the south. Once part of Tamriel in the Dawn Era, this land was torn off in a war between the gods. Atmora, a cold isle with green summers, two thousand miles north of Tamriel. This was the golden age of the elves.īut at that time, mankind dwelt in the other reaches of the world one race of man in Yokuda, and the other, the Nedes, in Atmora. And the Falmer, the Snow Elves, built above the lands of the north great cities of beauty, carved of ice and stone. The Dwemer, or Dwarves, inhabited all the northern half of Tamriel, building great cities of wonder beneath the ground. But other mer spread northwards: a cruel civilization of High Elves dwelt around the Niben, while beyond them to Resdayn journeyed the Chimer, followers of the Prophet Veloth. Many of the mer dwelt for ages in the south and the west, in the lands of Summurset, Pyandonea, and Valenwood. The Mer, the Elves and Dwarves, came to Tamriel in this time, and forged great civilizations. It was here that the beast people dwelt, their history unrecorded.
In the time after the Dawn, when the gods ceased to walk Nirn, the land of Tamriel was wild and mysterious. It is in Skyrim that the culture of strength and glory, parent to the Cyrodiilic Empire itself, still endures. It is an army of Man, the first scions of that race to set foot upon Tamriel. This is the tale of an ancient people, warriors and kings, who since the Mythic Era itself have dwelt in the the north and struggled to tame an unforgiving land.
