Lore:Places T
Tamriel
Tamriel, também conhecida como Taazokaan no Idioma Dracônico e a Arena, é um continente do mundo de Nirn no plano de Mundus. O nome "Tamriel" significa "Beleza do Amanhecer" em Aldmeris e "Coração Estrelado" em Ehlnofex. Tamriel é o lar de várias raças e carrega uma múltipla climatologia, variando de tundras a desertos. O continente é dividido em nove regiões geográficas distintas ou províncias:
- Cyrodiil é o centro geográfico e a capital do Império, assim como o lar da raça Imperial .
- Pântano Negro é o pantanal que fica a sudeste de Cyrodiil, terra dos Argonianos.
- Elsweyr é composta por desertos e selvas ao sul de Cyrodiil, é o lar dos Khajiit.
- Martelfell, é uma região escaldante a noroeste de Cyrodiil, é a província dos Rubraguardas.
- Pedra Alta, uma miscelânea feudal de pequenos barões e grandes cidade-estado ao norte de Martelfell, é onde vivem os Bretões.
- Morrowind, é uma região variada ao nordeste de Cyrodiil, é dominada pela ilha de Vvardenfell e seu vulcão. Os Dunmer chamam essa província de lar.
- Arcéu, uma província de cordilheiras nevadas e vales de rios ao norte de Cyrodiil, é onde se encontram os Nords.
- Ilhas do Semprestio refere-se a diversas ilhas a sudoeste de Cyrodiil através do Abecean Sea. É onde vivem os Altmer.
- Floresta de Valen, uma área de densa floresta ao sul de Cyrodiil e lugar dos Bosmer.
Adicionalmente, a Cidade-Estado de Orsinium é a casa dos Orcs. Anteriormente encontrada em Pedra Alta, Orsinium nunca foi reconhecida como uma província de pleno direito, e fora arrasada duas vezes por exércitos de outras raças. A terceira reencarnação da cidade está localizada nas montanhas entre Skyrim e Martelfell.
Enquanto outrora toda Tamriel estava unida pelo Império, no início do terceiro século da Quarta Era o Império compreende apenas Cyrodiil, Pedra Alta e Arcéu;com uma questionável lealdade de Arcéu.
Taneth
Taneth is a port city in southern Hammerfell on the Abecean Sea lying northwest of Rihad and east of Gilane. The famed author Lady Cinnabar worked from the Tower of the Fifth Doctrine in Taneth during the Interregnum. During Hammerfell's resistance against the Aldmeri Dominion in the Fourth Era, the city fell after it was supposedly betrayed from within.
Tang Mo
Tang Mo (meaning the Thousand Monkey Isles) is a nation of Akavir. It is inhabited by many breeds of monkey-folk, collectively known as the Tang Mo. The monkey-folk are kind, brave and simple, but can raise armies when they must, as all other Akaviri nations have tried to enslave them at one point. Every year, the demons of Kamal thaw out after winter and attempt to invade Tang Mo, but the monkey-folk always successfully repel them. They are enemies of the snake-folk of Tsaesci, but have become allies of their once-bitter enemies, the tiger-folk of Ka Po' Tun.
Tear
Fissura, também chamada Dres por ser lar da Casa homônima, é uma grande cidade portuária no extremo sudeste de Morrowind. No passado foi capital do Distrito Dres, controlado pela Casa Dres e famosa por suas escravas. Fissura é cercada por extensas plantações de salgarroz, fazendo fronteira com os mangues e pântanos de Pântano Negro, fazendo assim que seu clima seja quente.
Cyrus o Rubraguarda libertou muitos escravos Khajiiti de um grande campo de escravos próximo a cidade por volta de 2E 850.
Tel Aruhn
Tel Aruhn ("Home Tower" in Dunmeris) was the home of the Telvanni Archmagister, Lord Gothren. It was located on a small island in Zafirbel Bay, to the west of the Telvanni capital of Sadrith Mora. It was constructed in the middle Merethic Era by Aldmeri explorers.
Tel Branora
Tel Branora was perhaps the southernmost town in Vvardenfell, on an island far to the southeast. It was the wizard tower of Mistress Therana, the most eccentric (some say irrational) of the Telvanni Mage Lords. Although Therana was certainly eccentric, perhaps unbalanced, the Telvanni code would generally have seen her disposed of, unless she was capable of adequately defending herself. However, she obviously had great importance on the Council, or she would not have existed as a Master.
Tel Fyr
Tel Fyr was a remote Telvanni Tower, located directly south of Tel Aruhn and southwest of Sadrith Mora, on an island just off the mainland. Although it had a dock, it was not on any transport route, and the only real means of getting there was to swim from Tel Aruhn or Sadrith Mora. It was also possible to walk through Molag Amur from Molag Mar, but this was a significantly longer route. Unlike most of the other Telvanni towers on Vvardenfell, most of Tel Fyr was built into a large hill, as opposed to being a free-standing organic growth.
Its main resident, Divayth Fyr, was proof of the Telvanni maxim that rank is insignificant next to the power to do whatever one desires. Divayth was not generally addressed as "Lord Fyr" and was not a member of the Council (despite invitation), but he was nevertheless one of the most significant and powerful of the Telvanni Lords.
Having turned his back on most of the affairs of men, Divayth was mainly known for his experiments with the Corprus Disease and his Corprusarium. Whether the Corprusarium was a compassionate endeavor or simply a good means of gaining experimental subjects, it still was a place of value to all factions and segments of Morrowind society who wanted an alternative to simply killing family or companions who contracted the dreaded disease.
Tel Mithryn
Tel Mithryn is a settlement in southeastern Solstheim made primarily out of three large fungi. It was planted by Master Neloth of House Telvanni from cuttings of fungi in Vvardenfell, presumably before 4E 5. Relations between Tel Mithryn and the nearby Redoran town of Raven Rock have been cordial; the two settlements have been content to ignore each other.
In 4E 201, Tel Mithryn was plagued by a string of bad luck, with the death of its steward, withering of its fungi and frequent ash spawn and dragon attacks.
Tel Mora
Tel Mora ("Tower Forest" in Dunmeris) was the northernmost of the Telvanni-held islands. It was constructed in the middle Merethic Era by Aldmeri explorers. It was the tower of the Telvanni Councilor Mistress Dratha, one of the oldest of the Telvanni wizard lords.
The Tel was typical of a wizard tower in that it had a reasonable community living in smaller mushroom dwellings around the base of the tower. The construction of Tel Mora was also interesting, since the tower itself was set between two islands with a network of walkways over the water.
All of the residents of Tel Mora were female. If you were a male, the guards may have allowed you to shop in the town and get service there, but you would've had to stay well clear of the tower itself. Dratha did not enjoy the presence of men and you might have found a far warmer welcome in nearby Vos, a short trip to the shore, costing only a few drakes at the harbor. Boats left regularly. There was also sea transport to Dagon Fel, Tel Aruhn or Sadrith Mora.
If you were a female, however, you would've found a warm welcome in this town and plenty of conversation at The Covenant, the local social center. You would've also found that the lower tower provided perhaps the best alchemical supply shop in Vvardenfell, because it supported the traditional idea of women's natural propensity for healing and herbal magic.
Dratha shared the Telvanni penchant for 'eccentricity', in this case manifesting in an acute and unreasoning hatred of males of any species. While male Telvanni of high rank could have talked to her safely and do chores, she was quite hostile toward male outsiders.
Tel Vos
Tel Vos was the home of the youngest of the Telvanni Mage Lords, Master Aryon. The tower was located in the north-central Grazelands, and Master Aryon was the only Councilman whose Tel was not on an island. Perhaps as a sign of his youth and openness to new ways, Master Aryon's tower was quite unique.
Tel Vos was a hybrid of an Imperial fort and a traditional Telvanni mushroom tower, where Aryon himself resided at the top, accessible only with levitation. As a living fungal form, the tower actually interpenetrated the stonework, and Aryon's experiment couldn't have been seen as a complete success.
While Tel Vos was worth a visit out of pure architectural interest, it also had a Dwemer museum, a small but excellent library, and a dungeon. Tel Vos was the primary regional center for the Grazelands, because it extended Telvanni influence beyond traditional reaches. The lack of services in Vos made what's available in Tel Vos all the more important.
Tempest Island
Tempest Island, also known as the Island of Storms, is one of several treacherous islands in the Strid estuary located off the coast of Malabal Tor in northwestern Valenwood. It is infamous for the unnatural storms that originate there. Surrounded by sand bars and shifting channels and covered in dense jungle, the island has never been fully explored by any civilized authority. A network of natural caves run beneath the island, offering shelter from the unpredictable weather above.
The island was once colonized by the Ayleids, whose white limestone ruins cover the landscape. It has long served as a haven for pirates, raiders and fugitives. The island is thought to have been the source of multiple phenomena, such as the Flood of the Era and the Lamia Invasion of 2E 435, both of which were preceded by fierce storms on the island. These events attracted the attention of academics such as Angalmo, but the island's extreme weather limited research.
In 2E 582, a Maormer invasion force began to assemble on Tempest Island to perform a mysterious ritual, harnessing powerful lightning magic in preparation for a planned takeover of Tamriel. The Aldmeri Dominion had originally refused to man a garrison on the island in order to focus on the ongoing Alliance War, but were eventually alerted of the threat. A group of Altmer soldiers led by Battlereeve Alduril were dispatched to the island to drive off the invaders, but progress was immediately blocked by a horde of lamias on the beach. A group of Undaunted adventurers arrived on the island soon afterwards and aided Alduril by fighting through the Maormer camps, destroying their Conduit Stones and killing their leader, Stormreeve Neidir. This dispelled the storm the Maormer had summoned.
Temple of Miraak
The Temple of Miraak is a structure located in the center of the island of Solstheim. It served as the stronghold of Miraak in ancient times, before it was destroyed by the Dragon Cult. Renovations began on the ruins in 4E 201 when Miraak attempted to return to Tamriel, but were left incomplete with Miraak's defeat.
Temple of the One
The Temple of the One is the largest religious structure in Cyrodiil, located in the Temple District of the Imperial City. This great structure, a staple of ceremony and official worship since the days of Reman I and the institution of the Dragonfires ritual, is dedicated to the ineffable deity of the Alessian Order, the One. Although the Remans were not known to follow Alessian teachings, they regularly used the temple to worship, and Tiber Septim restored the building and its associated cult when he took the Dragon Throne. The Soulburst occurred here in 2E 578, when Mannimarco purposefully corrupted the coronation ritual of Varen Aquilarios. The Temple was the scene of the fiery resolution of the Oblivion Crisis: Martin Septims's sacrifice of the Amulet of Kings, the banishment of Dagon from Mundus, and the creation of the statue of Akatosh.
Temple of Two-Moons Dance
The Temples of Two Moons Dance are places of philosophical study and martial training located throughout Elsweyr. They date back to the First Era at the latest, when the Khajiiti kingdom "Ne Quin-al" (now called Anequina) was known to trade the mighty graduates of its Temple to other Khajiiti kingdoms in return for various needs. The Temples have been known to produce the most skilled warriors. For untold years, the Temple in Torval has been the finest training ground for unarmed combat in all of Tamriel. Masters of the Two-Moons Dance have designed a prescribed course of training over many years in accordance with the Riddle'Thar. Many begin their training as children. The training is mental as much as physical. One of the most important lessons in their curriculum is to reject one's vanity. Students at the highest level possess such a degree of power and skill that few can best them in weaponless combat, even with the aid of magic. At the completion of their studies, students partake in a festival consisting of competitions in both debate and combat, then either go out into the world or become teachers themselves.
There are three known Temples of Two-Moons Dance: one located in the Anequina region of northern Elsweyr, one in Torval, and one on the island of Khenarthi's Roost.
Tenmar Forest
The Tenmar Forest in southern Elsweyr is a large region lying between Torval, the seat of the Mane, and the busy seaport of Senchal. Primarily known for the production and export of moon sugar, its sugarcane groves are venerated and diligently guarded by the Khajiit. The forest is home to two sub-species of Khajiit rarely found elsewhere, the Dagi and Dagi-raht.
Thirsk
Thirsk is a Mead Hall created by Hrothmund the Red and some fellow Skaal early in the third century of the Third Era (though some residents claim the founding dates back into the late Second Era). It is located south of Skaal Village in the Felsaad Coast region, on the banks of Lake Fjalding. The easiest way to reach it from Fort Frostmoth is to head east along the coast until you reach Iggnir River, then follow that to Lake Fjalding.
Thorn
Thorn is an Argonian settlement located on the northeastern coast of Black Marsh in a region known as the Thornmarsh. This city, as well as Stormhold, lies close to the border with Morrowind.
Thras
Thras, also known as the Coral Kingdoms and the Thrassian Archipelago, is an archipelago located southwest of Tamriel in the Sea of Pearls. It is the home of the Sload, and was the source of the deadly Thrassian Plague that swept Tamriel in 1E 2200. In response to the Plague, the people of Tamriel assembled the All Flags Navy, which sunk the islands of Thras, though the surviving Sload managed to bring the islands back to the surface. The Pillar of Thras, a thousand-foot tall spiral of coral said to be a portal to Oblivion, stands on the largest island. The Sload make sacrifices here, and while many of them die, a few seem to disappear a moment before being dashed on the rocks.
The geography of Thras appears to change over time. The earliest maps of Thras show a semi-circular group of sixteen islands, similar in formation to a partially-submerged coral atoll. The number and size of the islands varies significantly in maps charted over subsequent centuries. Agonio, the largest island in the archipelago, is depicted as much larger in the most recent maps than it was in the oldest. It is unknown if this fluctuation is caused by the tides or other, possibly unnatural means. The most consistent feature of Thras is a brackish lagoon found in the archipelago's center, where the Sload are able to move with relative quickness and grace using a network of coral formations and ancient shipwrecks.
Throat of the World
The Throat of the World (Monahven in the Dragon Language) is the highest peak in the province of Skyrim. Though once considered second to Red Mountain, it is now known as the highest mountain in all of Tamriel. Seven thousand steps lead up the mountain to its summit, where the settlement of High Hrothgar is located, and where the Greybeards live their lives of absolute silence.
Tigonus
Tigonus is a region in Hammerfell, in the eastern part of the Alik'r Desert. It borders the Hollow Waste to the west and the Fallen Wastes of Bangkorai to the east. The region contains the towns of Kozanset and Satakalaam. The most important places are the Lost City of the Na-Totambu, the Dwemer ruins Volenfell and Yldzuun, the Yokudan ruin HoonDing's Watch, and the Motalion Necropolis.
Topal Bay
Topal Bay (also known as Topal Sea) is a large, placid body of water south of Tamriel. It is enclosed by the provinces of Elsweyr, Black Marsh, and Cyrodiil. In Cyrodiil, the city of Leyawiin and the Blackwood region lie on Topal Bay, at the delta of the Niben River. The bay's western shores are defined by Elsweyr's Quin'rawl Peninsula, where a great deal of smuggling occurs. The bay is named after Topal the Pilot, the Altmer explorer who discovered the Niben River and charted Tamriel's sea lanes. The bay's coastline to the east with Black Marsh has long been notorious for rampant piracy. The bay also flows into the Onkobra River, which supposedly leads right into the heart of Black Marsh. The Khajiit believe that moon sugar is "crystallized moonlight" caught by the waters of the bay and brought to the sugarcane groves of the Tenmar Forest by the tidal forces of Masser and Secunda.
Torval
Torval is the city-state of Elsweyr's spiritual and temporal ruler, the Mane. The Mane and his tribe live in the city in stately palaces built from massive timbers of a Valenwood oak, sometimes taken from waylaid Bosmeri wood caravans, as their borders are only a few hundred miles away from the city. Symmetrical sugarcane gardens surround the palaces where the Mane, with his massive headdress, is often found in meditation atop his palanquin held up by inexhaustible cathay-raht servants. Because moon sugar is considered one of the holiest substances in Khajiit religion, outsiders are traditionally kept out of these estates. Pelagius Septim III lived in Torval's asylum almost until his death in 3E 153.
Totambu
Totambu was an inland fiefdom of Hammerfell, south of the Iliac Bay. It borders the Dragontail Mountains in the south, Kozanset in the west, Mournoth in the northeast and Lainlyn and Satakalaam in the northwest. The main deity of this Redguard-dominated region was Zenithar. The military force of Totambu was the Order of the Scarab. They also served as the official guard for the royal family of Totambu dwelling in the city of Totambu. The Khulari clan was the predominant vampire bloodline in the region.
After the Warp in the West, Totambu came under the dominion of Sentinel.
Treva River
The Treva River is a small river at the center of the Rift in southeastern Skyrim. It flows northwest from Lake Honrich to Lake Geir. It was perhaps named after the eponymous founder of Treva's Farm on its eastern bank, which was built sometime before 2E 582. By 4E 201, the site instead hosted the fort Treva's Watch.
Mount Trolhetta
Trolhetta is a large mountain on the border of Skyrim, Cyrodiil and Morrowind, located approximately where the Jerall, Velothi and Valus Mountains meet.
The mountain has changed hands many times over the centuries. In the early First Era, it belonged to a Chimer clan, who built an extensive Daedric shrine on its peak. In the middle Second Era, Trolhetta was considered a part of the Rift region in Skyrim.
In 2E 582, the summit of Trolhetta was the site of the battle between the forces of the Ebonheart Pact (including Jorunn the Skald-King and the Vestige) and the Worm Cult, led by the fused spirits of the legendary giant Sinmur and Thallik Wormfather. The battle was won by the Pact forces, which ended Sinmur's threat to the Rift.
Access to the mountain was through a cave in the southeastern corner of the Rift. No trace of this cave remained by 4E 201.
Tsaesci
Tsaesci (meaning Snake Palace) is a nation found in the southwest of Akavir. It was once the most powerful nation in Akavir, before Tosh Raka came to Po Tun and renamed it Ka Po' Tun. Its naval power remains unrivalled, and its holdings are widespread. Men once lived in Tsaesci, but the vampiric serpent-folk (also called Tsaesci) ate them. The Tsaesci have enslaved the goblins of the surrounding isles, and use them for labor and food. They once attempted to enslave the dragons as well for use as food, and succeeded in enslaving the red dragons, but the black dragons fled to Po Tun. A great war was raged, which left both the cat-folk and the snakes weak, and resulted in the death of the dragons.
Tsaesci has had the most interaction with Tamriel of any Akaviri nation. The serpent-folk once invaded Tamriel in 1E 2703, and survivors left a large cultural influence on the Empire. The Dragonguard, a group dedicated to dragon hunting, came to Tamriel from Tsaesci and played a part in the formation of the Blades. Many Tsaesci relics and ruins remain in Tamriel, and most citizens think of the snake-folk when speaking of Akavir.
Tsaesci was invaded by Emperor Uriel Septim V in 3E 288, who founded the Imperial Province of Akavir. The settlements of Septimia and Ionith, located along a large river surrounded by fertile fields, were captured and refounded by the Empire. Thousands of settlers were brought to Akavir, and a road was built connecting the two settlements. The invasion lasted until 3E 290, when the Tsaesci attacked the invading Legions, who were already weakened by supernatural weather. This resulted in the death of Uriel V and most of the invasion force. The natives reclaimed the land, and Tsaesci has not been visited by Imperial forces since.
Tulune
Tulune was a Third Era coastal barony of High Rock. Situated at the most southern end of the province, it was bordered by Glenumbra Moors to the west, Glenpoint to the north and Daggerfall to the east. The capital city of the barony was the city of Tulune. The dominant vampire bloodline was Vraseth, and the regional deity was Julianos.
