World of Elder Scrolls series

This article covers many facets of the world of the The Elder Scrolls series. The Elder Scrolls universe is vast and encompasses many different subjects, such as races of peoples, organizations, and even dimensions. The Elder Scrolls universe was first introduced to the world with the game Arena which originated as a party-based game where the player controlled a small group of warriors that travelled the world and competing in different arenas, but evolved into a full-blown Role-playing game ^{[citation needed]}.

Throughout the series, the setting of the games takes place in the fictional continent of Tamriel, which is set in a medieval-styled fantasy world. Tamriel itself is divided into nine provinces and houses ten races of which the player can choose to play as, each with their own abilities and weaknesses.

Overview

The development team of the Elder Scrolls series created its universe from the world they created for their Dungeons & Dragons games ^{[citation needed]}.
