   Skyrim, also known as the Old Kingdom, Throat of the World, the Fatherland or Keizaal (Dragon Language: Keiz-Aal, "Rebellion-May"), is a vast region set in the northern part of Tamriel. It is the home of the Nords, large and hardy men and women who have a strong resistance to frost, both natural and magical. Skyrim was originally inhabited by a race of Mer known as the Snow Elves, though after the Nordic-Falmer War, the Snow Elves were mostly destroyed and the Atmorans settled the land. It is bordered by Morrowind to the east, the Nibenay and Colovia in Cyrodiil to the south, Hammerfell to the southwest, and High Rock to the west. The island of Solstheim lies to the northeast of Skyrim, now a sovereign territory of Morrowind. Now Skyrim is home not just Nords. Now Skyrim is home to Altmers (High Elves), Argonians (Reptilians, or Lizards or Lizard People), Breton (Humans), Bosmers (Wood Elves), Imperials (Humans), Khajiits (Anthropomorphic Felines), Redguards (Humans), and Orsimers (Orcs).

   The Setting takes place in Skyrim, where peace and stability is threatened by the ongoing civil war between a Nordic separatist faction called the Stormcloaks and the Empire's Imperial Legion, as well as the return of the dragons under the game's main antagonist, the great dragon Alduin. Skyrim is the northernmost region of Tamriel and its geography consists of mountains, snowy tundras, pine forests, rural countrysides, and arctic plains. Skyrim is the least populated of all regions in Tamriel. Although there are only five cities within the province, they are complemented with smaller townships dotted through the land with huge swathes of wilderness separating them all. There are over 150 dungeons scattered across Skyrim.

   The Snow Elves were a race that inhabited Skyrim long before the Nords. The Elves were massacred by the Nords and fled underground. Here they found refuge with the Dwemer, ostensibly on the condition that they eat poisonous fungi causing blindness. The effects of the fungi and their life underground have morphed them into the Falmer seen often in caverns, Dwemer ruins and Falmer hives.

   For other uses, see Argonians. Enigmatic and intelligent, the Argonians are experts at guerrilla warfare, and their natural abilities suit their swampy homeland, Black Marsh. They have developed immunities to the diseases that have doomed many would-be explorers in the region, and they are capable of easily exploring underwater locations due to their ability to breathe underwater. Argonians make proficient thieves, due to their increased lockpicking and sneaking skills. In Windhelm, Argonians are sequestered from the predominantly Nordic population, and are forced to live at the Argonian Assemblage, located at the city docks. After the mass exodus of Dunmer and Argonian peoples to Windhelm, the citizens became suspicious, worrying that the immigrants would influence or otherwise dilute their culture, and so forced them into segregation. Largely, this extreme behavior was inspired by the political confrontation between the Empire of Tamriel and the rulers of Skyrim. However, this eventually just turned into blatant racism. Despite the estrangement between the Nords and the Argonians, they are more respected and tolerated in Skyrim than other foreign immigrants due to their beneficial contributions to Nord industries. This beneficial assimilation to Skyrim's economy has helped some Argonians—such as those found in Riften—ingratiate themselves to Skyrim's aloof society. Unlike the citizens of Skyrim, who prefer to marry using an Amulet of Mara, some Argonians adhere to their native marriage traditions. In Black Marsh, it is customary to present a lover with an Argonian Wedding Band, which is crafted by the courting member. Each ring is unique and has personal meaning to the creator and the recipient.

   It is the second southernmost hold in Skyrim, after The Rift. It borders Cyrodiil to the south and Hammerfell to the west, with a single road leading to both provinces. Other than its capital, Falkreath, the other notable town in the hold is Helgen.

   Falkreath Hold is covered in characteristic pine forests and described by its citizens as being covered in a fine mist that makes it seem seasonless. The mountains rising above Falkreath are well above the snow line striking a stark comparison to the rest of the hold. The most distinguishing geographic feature is Lake Ilinalta, which covers a large portion of the central region and acts as the source for the White River.

   Holds are the nine administrative divisions of Skyrim, different from each other both in climate and local government.

   Each of the nine Holds is governed by a Jarl who resides in the Hold's capital city. The Jarls are largely independent, but swear fealty to Skyrim's High King, who in turn swears fealty to the Emperor upon joining the Septim empire in the late Second Era.

   Each Hold also employs their own guards, who can be identified by the color of their uniform and the Hold symbol they bear on their shields.

   Given the independent nature of governance, crimes are tracked independently by each Hold, and a criminal who is wanted in one Hold may have no bounty in another.

   The nine holds in Skyrims are : Winterhold, Eastmarch, The Rift, The Pale, Falkreath, Haafingar, Hjaalmarch, The Reach, and Whiterun

    Winterhold is located on the northeast corner of Skyrim. It is an intensely cold region, and most of the hold is covered in snowy tundra plains and high mountain ranges. Along the coast is a polar environment of glaciers and icebergs. The surrounding holds are Eastmarch, to the south; and The Pale, to the west.

    It is home to the College of Winterhold. Winterhold has fallen on rough times ever since the Great Collapse of 4E 122 destroyed most of the town. In the aftermath, most of the residents moved away, and those that refused or could not afford to were left behind to witness the slow death of the town. The College of Winterhold was miraculously undamaged in the event, and this has led many residents to believe the College was responsible, although no proof has ever been found to support these claims. Once a source of pride for residents, the College became a hated institution, a reminder of all they had lost. Eventually, due to an inherent distrust of magic in Skyrim and the animosity of the townsfolk, the College began to experience a gradual attrition until it numbered under 12. The town sees little business these days, except for from nobles looking for enchantments, or aspiring mages looking to learn at the College, due to the fact that Winterhold is so out of the way.

    Entry settings

    Haafingar is the smallest Hold in area. Since the Fourth Era, the High King of Skyrim reigns from Solitude. The hold is separated from Hjaalmarch by the Karth River and The Reach by mountains. Dragon Bridge is the only access to the hold by road, crossing the Karth River. Much of the hold is rocky and mountainous with soaring snowy mountains surrounding the north and west of Solitude, though the lower lying areas including Dragon Bridge are mostly comprised of forests and hills.

    Solitude is the jewel of Imperial Skyrim. Ruled by Jarl Elisif the Fair, widow of the late High King, it is home to the headquarters of both the Legion and the Thalmor. Part of the reason for this is the eminently defensible nature of Solitude itself. Set upon a great stone arch that towers above the mouth of the Karth River, and surrounded by the soaring peaks of the Haafingar Mountains, Solitude is both a reinforced and breathtaking stronghold. Given the city's name, it is ironic that over 80 percent of the Hold's population lies within Solitude's walls, but this is testament to the city's political importance, formidable defenses and diverse population. The Bards College is located here, as well as the sumptuous Blue Palace, the residence of the Jarl. Both are constructed atop the huge, natural arch that the city rests on, affording spectacular views over the Sea of Ghosts and Hjaalmarch to the east. Solitude's accessible docks and wharfs are in the relatively calm waters, making the trade one of the many reasons why the wealthiest of Nords hail from this capital city. Solitude is the one true cosmopolitan city of Skyrim.

    Hjaalmarch is located in northern Skyrim, at the mouth of the Karth River. The capital, Morthal, lies near the center of the hold. The hold borders Haafingar, separated by the Karth River to the northwest, The Reach to the west, Whiterun to the south and The Pale to the east. Hjaalmarch's most distinct terrain are its swamps and marshes, but it also has snow-covered forests, mountains, and rocky plains, making it arguably the most geographically diverse of Skyrim's holds.

    Sitting on the southern edge of the Drajkmyr Marsh, dry ground can be hard to come by in Morthal. The town is often shrouded in a thick fog, and ominous twisted trees grow in the surrounding marsh, which is known to contain vampires. Due to this, Morthal is a foreboding place for travelers, many of whom choose to steer clear of the place altogether.

    The Reach is infamous for harboring the Forsworn, a clan of Reachmen who are fighting a long war of independence and seek to retake Markarth from the Nords and free the Hold from Imperial authority. The Forsworn are the Reach's most common enemies and dwell in the Reach highlands. With the constant threat of Forsworn attacks looming over Markarth and its surrounding settlements, the Reach is often considered the most dangerous Hold of Skyrim, fit only for seasoned adventurers or hardened mercenaries.

The landscape is mostly boreal plains with vast, sparse tundra and flowing rivers; however its most striking landmark is the Throat of the World, the highest peak in Tamriel. It is said among Nords that this is where mankind was first given life.

    This hold is also known for having a large number of Giant camps. The White River divides the region. Sparse plains extend from west of the river to the township of Rorikstead near the western border, which is situated on ideal farmland. Much of the area near the southern border and east of the river is mountainous. Whiterun appears to have stable security, but some residents, such as Sinmir, complain that Whiterun's security is the worst in the province, calling it shameful.

    Morthal's small population and relatively remote location have kept it distant from most major conflicts in recent years. The citizens of Morthal appear reclusive and cautious of outsiders.

    Due to their distrust of magic, the Jarl does not have an acting court wizard like many of the other hold capitals do. She remains neutral on the presence of a wizard in her town and allows him to practice magic and sell his supplies in the privacy of his own home.

    The Thu'um, also referred to as Storm Voice or simply the Voice, is a form of magic which utilizes the Dragon Language to form Dragon Shouts of immense power. The word itself directly translates to the word "shout" in the Dragon language. Most shouts are made up of three words of power, and using more words usually strengthens the effects of the shout in some manner. In addition to the ability to project one's voice into a shout, the Thu'um can also be used to share the knowledge and meaning of a word of power with another practitioner of the Thu'um and carve the written form of the word into a nearby surface usually by using the shout or by whispering the word of power. Mortal practitioners of the Thu'um may lose the ability to speak without causing devastation and put people who are not trained in the Way of the Voice in danger due to the strength of their voices, though others may not suffer from such a condition.

    In Skyrim, the High King or Queen typically inherits the throne by birth and rules for life or until abdication. In the event that no direct heir to the throne exists, High Kings are selected by a moot, or vote, conducted by the current Jarls of each of the nine Holds. High Kings are traditionally either related to the previous High King, or a Jarl of one of the Holds. Votes occur most commonly when the previous High King dies. By Nordic tradition, a High King can be challenged in a duel by one of the Jarls. If they refuse, the challenger has grounds to call for a moot to elect a new High King.

They are enthusiastic warriors, and act as soldiers, mercenaries, merchants and blacksmiths all over Tamriel. Eager to augment their martial skills beyond the traditional methods of Skyrim, they excel in all manner of warfare. Above all else in Nord culture is the quest for honor and glory, and a great emphasis is placed on family values. They thrive in the cold, reminiscent of their native Atmora, and are known as a militant people by their neighbors. Nords are also naturally superior at sea, and have benefited from nautical trade since their first migrations across the sea from Atmora. They captain and crew the merchant fleets of many regions, and may be found all along Tamriel's coasts. They issue a battle cry to make their enemies flee for a short time.

    Entry settings

    The Elder Scrolls (Kelle in the Dragon Language), also called the Aedric Prophecies (though the accuracy of that term is often disputed), are scrolls of unknown origin which simultaneously archive both past and future events. The number of the Scrolls is unknown not necessarily due to their immense quantity, but because the number itself is unknowable, as the Scrolls "do not exist in countable form". They are fragments of creation from outside time and space, and their use in divining prophecies is but a small part of their power. They simultaneously do not exist, yet always have existed.

    Any person gifted with prescient powers is able to interpret the contents of the Elder Scrolls with practice. The information revealed about the future is never absolute. Once an event foretold within the Scrolls is carried out in the world it becomes fixed within them. Such insight into the inner fabric of reality comes at a price as the Divines usually take away the sight of the reader. As a result each new foretelling and interpretation strikes the reader with blindness for a greater period of time, while simultaneously granting them a broader view of the Scroll's contents. Ultimately, the reader, having engaged in frequent acts of prophecy, is left bereft of their vision, forever after removed of their right to read the Scrolls. By time-honored tradition, the Empire allowed only the priests of the Cult of the Ancestor Moth to read from the Scrolls, while younger members cared for the elders as they gradually and irreparably lost their sight.

Although most are extremely dangerous and nearly inhospitable to mortals, they differ in shape and size according to the ruling Prince.

    Daedra is the term for the entities who inhabit the realms of Oblivion in The Elder Scrolls. They are viewed variously as gods or demons by the inhabitants of Tamriel, although scholarly consensus discourages the use of the latter term. The most powerful of the Daedra are referred to as Daedric Princes or Daedra Lords, and rule over their own planes of Oblivion, which they shaped. Because they have no connection to Nirn, they cannot be permanently killed, only banished.

    Entry settings

    The Daedric Princes (sometimes referred to as Daedra Lords, or the Old Gods by Reachmen) are the most powerful of the Daedra and thus most commonly worshipped by mortals as deities. While Daedra can manifest as either male or female (being, in reality, genderless), all of these high Daedra are typically referred to as "Princes." In all, there are sixteen widely known Princes, with a "seventeenth" prince, Jyggalag.

    Every Daedric Prince has their own specific plane of Oblivion, which reflects their nature. This is the list of Daedric Princes : Azura, A Prince who maintains/draws power from the balance of night and day, light and dark. Boethiah,The Prince of deceit, secrecy, conspiracy, treason, and unlawful overthrow of authority. Clavicus Vile, The Prince of deals, pacts, power, bargains, and serenity through wish fulfillment. Hermaeus Mora, The formless Daedric Prince of knowledge and memory, seeks to possess all that is knowable. Hircine, The Prince of the hunt, sport, the Great Game, and the Chase. Ithelia, The Prince of paths, the untraveled road, the unseen and fate-changer. Jyggalag. The Prince of logical order and deduction, upholds strict order above all else. Malacath. The Prince whose sphere is the patronage of the spurned and ostracized. Mehrunes Dagon, The Prince of destruction, violent upheaval, energy, and mortal ambition. Mephala, The Prince of unknown plots and obfuscation, a master manipulator, a sower of discord. Meridia, The Prince of the energies of all living things, enemy of the undead and all who disrupt the flow of life. Molag Bal, The Prince of domination and spiritual enslavement, seeks to ensnare souls within his domain. Namira, The Prince of the "ancient darkness," the patron of all things considered repulsive. Nocturnal, The Prince of the night and darkness, the patron of all things secretive. Peryite, The Taskmaster, the Daedric Prince of Pestilence, desires order in his domain. Sanguine, The Prince of hedonism, debauchery, and the further indulgences of one's darker nature. Sheogorath, The infamous Prince of Madness, whose motives are unknowable.

    The Imperial Pantheon of the Nine Divines, also the Eight and One, consists of the most important religious order in Tamriel. The religion combines the Eight Divines pantheon created by Alessia with the apotheosized form of the founder of the Third Empire, Tiber Septim who became Talos, the ninth Divine. There are six gods and three goddesses. In Cyrodiil, there is a chapel in each major city venerating the divines. There are also wayshrines along the roads that are devoted to the Nine Divines. Many of these gods also appear in various combinations in the pantheons of other cultures.

    This is the list of Nine Divines : Akatosh, The Dragon God of Time and chief god of the pantheon Arkay, God of the Cycle of Life and Death, and Mortals burials and funeral rites Dibella, Goddess of Beauty and Love Julianos, God of Wisdom and Logic Kynareth, Goddess of Air, Wind, Sky and the Elements Mara, Goddess of Love and compassion, the Mother Goddess Stendarr, God of Compassion, Mercy, Justice, charity, luck, and righteous rule by might and merciful forbearance Talos, Hero-god of Mankind, conqueror god, God of Might, Honor, State, Law, and Man Zenithar, God of Work and Commerce, Trader God

    Entry settings

    Thane is an honorary title presented by the jarl of a hold to individuals of high esteem. The bestowed title is one of both recognition and prestige. Thanes may be chosen due to their importance to the city or for their heroic deeds. It is possible to become a thane of every hold regardless of which side in the Civil War is chosen. Each jarl has their own requirements for the title and may bestow the honor on multiple people. A jarl will give a new thane a houscarl.

47. #47Housecarl

    Keys: Housecarl, Housecarls

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Housecarls are the personal bodyguards appointed to jarls and their thanes (if any) in Skyrim. Housecarls are free men and women who are voluntarily sworn to protect their masters with their own lives. Almost every jarl and thane in the province of Skyrim has their own personal housecarl that is often by their side. However, the housecarls of thanes are often found inside of that thane's home. Every housecarl that is appointed to you is also available as a follower, who, in turn, can carry out orders, carry equipment, and protect you from harm.

    A few housecarls in the employ of jarls double as the general of their army, and are thus involved in planning war strategies. In terms of court politics, housecarls are the equal of court wizards, but less important than stewards and, of course, the jarls. In summary, housecarls are faithful guardians who are very useful in both the royal courts of Skyrim and in the deepest depths of its ruins.

48. #48Thalmor

    Keys: Thalmor, Third Aldmeri Dominion

    Entry settings

    The Thalmor is the governing council of the Third Aldmeri Dominion, the union of Valenwood, the Summerset Isles, and the client states of Elsweyr. According to Delphine, the members of the Thalmor are "elven supremacists" who seek to end the Empire and eradicate the worship of Talos as it goes against their own beliefs. They claim sole responsibility for closing the Oblivion Gates in the Dominion (much like the An-Xileel). Although this is partly true, Martin Septim was the one who ended the Oblivion Crisis by destroying the Amulet of Kings and invoking the avatar of Akatosh.

49. #49Thalmor Justiciar

    Keys: Thalmor Justiciar, Thalmor Justiciars

    Enabled · After character · Order 10 · 100%

    Entry settings

    Not all Thalmor in Skyrim are equal in station, or purpose. In fact, there is one group in particular that operates secretly, in the shadows — watching and waiting for those Nords who break the law, and continue their worship of Talos. These are the Justiciars, and it is their job to enforce the Talos ban of the White-Gold Concordat. During the Skyrim Civil War, the Thalmor have a tangible presence in cities in which the Empire has the most secure foothold. Some claim these Thalmor have far too much influence over the Empire and Imperial loyal Jarls.

    Secretly, they have been instigating conflict between the Empire and the rebel Stormcloaks, directly interfering only in certain instances to keep the Skyrim Civil War going.

50. #50The Companions

    The Companions are the warriors guild of Skyrim. It serves a similar function to the Fighters Guild chapters of other regions of Tamriel. Eorlund Gray-Mane, a blacksmith in Whiterun, states that they have been leaderless since Ysgramor. He says that an elder known as Kodlak Whitemane acts as the Harbinger (counselor). The fact that they have no official leader is emphasized by their name.

    Jorrvaskr, the mead hall where the Companions live and operate, is the oldest building in Whiterun.
