Only Ysgramor and his two sons escaped back to Atmora, and, seeing the tenuous peace which had developed between the various factions, recognized the opportunity to turn their plight into a uniting force for the human race. Thus, Elvish pogroms razed the city of Saarthal on what became known as the Night of Tears. At the time, men were viewed by Falmer as being primitive and animal-like, and it was seen as no great moral remission to stop the spread of a potentially disastrous invasive species, who would destabilize the Tamrielic ecosystem. However, the Falmer Elves saw that the Nords, with their vastly shorter lifespans, fast rates of physical maturation and expedient (by Elvish standards) reproductive cycle, would eventually overtake them if left unchecked. They named the land Mereth, after the many elves that roamed the forests of Tamriel.įor a long while, relations between the Falmer Elves and men were relatively peaceful. It is said that he and his companions were fleeing the civil war in Atmora, which at that time had a sizable population.

According to legend, Ysgramor landed first at Hsaarik Head, at the extreme northern tip of Skyrim's Broken Cape. The date of this migration is unknown, although it was before the full flourishing of Elvish civilization. It was the first region of Tamriel to be settled by humans, who migrated there from the land of Atmora in the far north, across the Sea of Ghosts. Skyrim, also known as the Old Kingdom or the Fatherland, is the home of the Nords and the setting for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Looking back at the song we decoded, there is a strong hint here that 2 brothers will wage war, causing Alduin, the dragon who can destroy the world, to be spawned. There is also a civil war going on after the death of the High King of Skyrim, Torygg, whom the Jarl of Windhelm, Ulfric Stormcloak, killed with the power of the Thu'um. You play as the Dovahkiin or Dragonborn (a person with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon) and you are mentored by the Greybeards, Esbern and Delphine (the latter two are Blades members). The story is set 200 years after the events of Oblivion. It is a snowy area and it is the place where the Nords believe they came from. The lore is set in the Skyrim province, which is located north of Cyrodiil. It is bordered by Morrowind to the east, Cyrodiil to the south, Hammerfell to the south-west, and High Rock to the west the island of Solstheim lies to the north-east. The Aldmer and Falmer occupied Skyrim until the late Merethic Era, when the final wave of Nordic immigration, led by Ysgramor, occured.

It is currently inhabited by the human race of Nords. Skyrim has been home to both elven and human civilization since time immemorial. Skyrim is a province in the very north of Tamriel.
