Elder scrolls merethic era series#

Ostensibly a tribute-land to the High King of Alinor, Cyrod was often so isolated from the Summerset Isles as to be its own sovereign nation. Wild Elves, also known as the Heartland High Elves, preserved the Dawn Era magicks and language of the Ehlnofey. The Ayleids flourish in the jungles surrounding White-Gold Tower (present day Cyrodiil). Crystal Tower is built on Summerset Isle and, later, White-Gold Tower in Cyrodiil.Дuring the Middle Merethic Era, Aldmeri explorers map the coasts of Vvardenfel, building the foundation of the First Era wizard towers at Ald Redaynia, Bal Fell, Tel Aruhn, and Tel Mora in Morrowind.ДЇor more information: Before the Ages of Man. The Adamantine Tower is rediscovered and captured by the Direnni, a prominent and powerful Aldmeri clan. The sophisticated, literate, technologically advanced Aldmeri culture drives the beastfolk into the jungles, marshes, mountains, and wastelands. Later inland settlements are founded primarily in fertile lowlands in southwest and central Tamriel. Their first colonies are distributed widely along the entire coast of Tamriel. The Aldmer (Elves) leave the doomed and now-lost continent of Aldmeris (also known as 'Old Ehlnofey') and settle Tamriel. Earliest historical date in unpublished Elvish chronicles.ДЄboriginal beastpeoples (ancestors of the Khajiit, Argonians, Orcish (goblin-kin), and other Beastfolk) live in preliterate communities throughout Tamriel. Supposed date of construction of the Adamantine Tower on Balfiera Island in High Rock, the oldest known structure of Tamriel. As such, the Merethic Era extends from ME2500 in the distant past to ME1 - the year before the founding of the Camoran Dynasty and the establishment of White-Gold Tower as an independent city-state. The earliest Merethic date cited by King Harald's scholars was ME2500 - the Nordic reckoning of the first year of time.

The prehistoric events of the Merethic Era are listed here with their traditional Nordic Merethic dates.

The term 'Merethic' comes from the Nordic, literally, 'Era of the Elves.' The Merethic Era was described by early Nord scholars as a series of years numbered in reverse order backward from the first event in their recorded history - the founding of the Camoran Dynasty, which functions as the starting point of the First Era.
