There are two other Eras previous to the aforementioned three. They are the 'Dawn Era' in which the universe and everything in it came into being, and the 'Mereithic Era', otherwise known as the Mythic Era, in which Elves first arrived in Tamriel and all manner of mythological occurances are said to have taken place.
