Tamriel itself is divided into nine provinces, each with its own native race. There are other continents besides Tamriel on Nirn (such as Akavir or Yokuda), but there has yet to be an official game that takes place upon one of them. The exceptions are The Elder Scrolls Legends: Battlespire, and parts of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, which take place between the realm of Oblivion (one of several alternate dimensions ruled by immortal god-like beings known as Daedra) and the mortal realm of Mundus.
The Elder Scrolls games take place on the fictional world of Nirn, on the continent of Tamriel, a large landmass divided into nine provinces.
Lore including histories and legends are contained in dozens of readable in-game books that are scattered throughout the game world. This includes a vast amount of information such as names, dates, and places that constitute its history and the interconnected structure of its various societies, cultures, and religions. In accordance with many literary high fantasy works, the world of The Elder Scrolls is known for its attention to detail including well developed lore and back story. Other characteristics typical of high fantasy fiction are common themes in The Elder Scrolls, such as demi-human races including elves, orcs and dwarves (a now-extinct race known as Dwemer which are not dwarves at all but more elven like), magic and sorcery, mythical creatures, factions with their own political agendas, walled medieval cities and strongholds, and plot elements driven by prophecies and legends. Like most works of high or epic fantasy, the Elder Scrolls games are typically serious in tone and epic in scope, dealing with themes of grand struggle against a supernatural or evil force. It may be a while before fans can find out if these revelations are accurate, however, as developers have continually indicated that "The Elder Scrolls 6" is not due out for a while, and even the tipster noted that the estimated release for it is 2023.The Elder Scrolls world can be described as one of high fantasy with influences from a multitude of cultures all over the globe (Medieval, Roman, Nordic, Ancient Japanese, etc.). Players may even be tasked with creating colonies on Akavir, according to the tipster. Notably, the posts on 4chan also mentioned that four new races may be included in "The Elder Scrolls 6."Īlong with the setting and the potential addition of new races, "Salulard" also shared that a settlement system that may be somewhat similar to the one featured in "Fallout 4" may also be included, though this one will supposedly be more advanced. The Wiki entry also noted that four races reside on Akavir, and they were the primal demons of Kamal, the tiger dragons of Ka'Po'Tun, the monkey-folk of Tang Mo and the serpent-men of Tsaesci. If this location sounds unfamiliar, that is probably because it is one that previous entries in the franchise have not really explored.Īccording to The Elder Scrolls Wiki, Akavir is a continent set to the east of Tamriel but sitting between them is an ocean that has discouraged travelers from making the trip to this mostly unknown land.
The new details came from a series of posts on 4chan authored by "Salulard," an individual who claims to be a "leaker at Bethesda."Īs for the details themselves, the tipster suggested that the sequel will take place on the continent of Akavir. Official details are obviously still lacking at this point, but a new rumor hinted that developers may already have a setting in mind for the sequel. "Elder Scrolls" games are influenced heavily by the settings they feature, so it should come as no surprise that fans are already dying to know which one developers are planning to use for "The Elder Scrolls 6."
