Tamriel is the fictional continent where the events of [[the Elder Scrolls]] games take place.

Tamriel consists of nine provinces, each of these provinces corresponds with their own culture and race, with the exception of High Rock, which houses two distinct species:
*[[High Rock]], inhabited by [[Bretons]]s, man/elf hybrids on the human side; also [[Orc_of_Tamriel|Orcs]] or [[Orsimer]], Elvish for 'Pariah Folk': Elves so ruined and corrupted that they are often mistaken as akin to goblins and/or trolls.
*[[Hammerfell]], inhabited by [[Redguards]], in the native also [[Redguards|Yokudans]], enterprising expansionists from the west, commonly mistaken for men, but not in fact related.

To the distant south of Tamriel supposedly lies the Elven homeland of Old Ehlnofey, which was devastated in ancient times (hence the early migration of Elves to other continents, namely Tamriel).
