Elder Scrolls Timeline

The Eras
An overview of the various eras:
Prehistoric Eras
1. The Dawn Era – The birth of time itself. Different from the Merethic Era.
2. The Merethic Era – Includes creation of Time and Nirn, the Aedra, Daedra, and the races of
Tamriel.
Modern Eras
1. The First Era – Includes both the founding of the First and Second Empires. (The First
Empire, either the Ysgramor Dynasty of Skyrim or the Alessian Empire; the Second, the Reman
Dynasty)
2. The Second Era – Also known as the "Common Era," includes the rule of the Akaviri
Potentates, as well as the 400-year time period known as the Interregnum. The Elder Scrolls
Online and Redguard take place in this era.
3. The Third Era – Includes the founding of the Septim Empire, ruled by the Septim Dynasty,
and lasts 433 years. Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion all take place during this era.
4. The Fourth Era – Includes the events following the end of the Septim Dynasty, such as the
Great War and the events of Skyrim.

The Dawn Era:

 The brothers Anu and Padomay enter into the Void.
 They give birth to their own Souls, Anui-El and Sithis, whose interplay creates the Aurbis.
 Lorkhan and Auriel are the first spirits born into the Aurbis, Lorkhan wanders and Auriel creates
time.
 The Original Spirits or et'Ada emerge within the Aurbis are either aligned with Anu (Anuic
spirits) or Padomay (Padomaic spirits).
 Lorkhan, a Padomaic spirit, travels the Aurbis and conceives the concept that Mundus should be
created.
 Lorkhan then tricks or convinces other et'Ada to join him. Those that do become the Aedra and
those that do not become the Daedra.
 The Aedra create 12 worlds of creation. Some creation myths believe each world is a God.
These 12 worlds are molded together to create Nirn.
 Many of the Aedra die during the creation with some becoming mortals to ensure the
continuation of life on Mundus whilst some become the Ehlnofey or "Earthbones," the Laws of
Nature.
 Many of the Aedra flee back to Aetherius, which is a part of Aurbis, and become the Magna Ge,
tearing holes in Oblivion.
 Auri-El establishes the first kingdoms of the Old Ehlnofey on Atmora and the supposed land
Aldmeris. These lands are where the Aldmer originate.
 A large number of Aedra are disappointed and angry with the creation of Mundus and seek
revenge. These include the ancestors of Elves - the Old Ehlnofey, whose leader was Auri-El and
whose heroes included Trinimac, Phynaster and Syrabane.
 Auri-El sought out Lorkhan in battle and warred with him. Lorkhan's followers included the
ancestors of Man—the Wandering Ehlnofey and whose heroes included Kyne, Tsun, Stuhn,
Jhunal.
 Atmora is conquered by the armies of man.
  The great war ends when Trinimac tears Lorkhan's heart out and Auri-El fires it into the sea
with his bow.
 The war causes the mega-continent on Nirn to become flooded and fracture into smaller
continents and islands.
 The lands inhabited by the Wandering Ehlnofey, which include Akavir, Atmora, and Yokuda,
become isolated. These lands are where the Tsaesci, Atmorans and Yokudans originate.
 Some Wandering Ehlnofey remain on Tamriel, they become the Nedes.
 The Old Ehlnofey remain on the supposed land Aldmeris and become the Aldmer.

The Merethic Era:

Circa ME 2500
 Supposed date of construction of the Adamantine Tower (also known as the Direnni Tower) on
Balfiera Island in High Rock, the oldest known structure of Tamriel. Earliest historical date in
unpublished Elvish chronicles.[1]
Early Merethic Era
 Aboriginal beastpeoples (ancestors of the Khajiit, Argonian, and other beastfolk) live in
preliterate communities throughout Tamriel.
Middle Merethic Era
 The Aldmer leave the supposed doomed and now-lost continent of Aldmeris (also known as
'Old Ehlnofey') and settle in Tamriel. First colonies are distributed widely along the entire coast
of Tamriel. Later, inland settlements were founded primarily in fertile lowlands in southwest
and central Tamriel.
 The sophisticated, literate, and technologically advanced Aldmeri culture drove the primitive
beastfolk into the jungles, marshes, mountains, and wastelands.
 The Adamantine Tower is rediscovered and captured by the Direnni, a prominent and powerful
Aldmeri clan. Crystal Tower is built on Summerset Isle and, later, White-Gold Tower in
Cyrodiil.
 One of these Aldmeri Explorers, Torval the Pilot, explores and charts Tamriel sea-lanes and the
River Niben, located in southern Tamriel. He sails deep into central Cyrodiil, and acquires the
Eight Islands (the site of White Gold Tower) from the beastfolk natives for the secret of literacy.
 Aldmeri explorers map the coasts of Vvardenfell, building the First Era High Elven wizard
towers at Ald Redaynia, Bal Fell, Tel Aruhn, and Tel Mora in Morrowind.
 The Ayleids flourish in the jungles surrounding White Gold Tower (present day Cyrodiil).
Ayleids, also known as the Heartland High Elves, preserved the Dawn Era magicks and
language of the Ehlnofey.
 Ostensibly a tribute-land to the High King of Alinor, Cyrodiil was often so isolated from the
Summerset Isles as to be its own sovereign nation.
Late Middle Merethic Era
 The Dwemer, a free-thinking, reclusive Elven clan devoted to the secrets of science,
engineering, and alchemy, established underground cities and communities in the mountain
range (later the Velothi Mountains) separating modern Skyrim and Resdayn/Morrowind.
 The Late Middle Merethic Era is also the period of the High Velothi Culture.
 The Chimer (ancestors of the modern Dunmer, or Dark Elves), dynamic, ambitious, long-lived
Elven clans devoted to fundamentalist ancestor worship, followed the Prophet Veloth out of
ancestral Elven homelands to settle in the lands now known as Morrowind.
 Despising the secular culture and profane practices of the Dwemer, the Chimer also coveted the
lands and resources of the Dwemer, and for centuries provoked them with minor raids and
territorial disputes.
  Trinimac (strongest of the Altmeri ancestor spirits) and his people (who became the Orsimer or
the Pariah Folk) try to halt Velothi dissident movement. However, Daedric Prince Boethiah, as
one of the masterminds of the movement, eats Trinimac. Trinimac's body and spirit are
corrupted, and he emerges as Daedric Prince Malacath. The rest of his people are changed as
well. They are now known as Orcs.
Late Merethic Era
 Velothi high culture disappears on Vvardenfell Island. The earliest Dwemer Freehold colonies
date from this period.
 Degenerate Velothi devolves into tribal cultures, which, in time, evolves into the modern Great
Houses of Morrowind, or persists as the barbarian Ashlander tribes. The only surviving traces of
this tribal culture are scattered Velothi towers and Ashlander nomads on Vvardenfell Island. The
original First Era High Elven wizard towers along the coasts of Tamriel are also abandoned
about this time.
 The proto-Nords in the final migration from Atmora (also known as 'Altmora' or 'the Elder
Wood' in Aldmeris) settle in northern Tamriel. Nordic hero Ysgramor, leader of a great
colonizing fleet to Tamriel, develops a runic transcription of Nordic speech based on Elvish
principles, and is the first human historian.
 Ysgramor's fleet lands at Hsaarik Head at the extreme northern tip of Skyrim's Broken Cape.
 The Nords build there the legendary city of Saarthal.
 Ysgramor and his followers brought the Atmoran religion of the Dragon Cult with them. The
followers of this religion worshipped numerous animal totems, namely the hawk, wolf, snake,
moth, owl, whale, bear, fox and, most importantly, the Dragon, as avatars of the gods. It is
believed these totems were in fact early Atmoran interpretations of the Divines. The Atmorans
regarded the Dragon as head of their pantheon, and considering Dragons existed in vast
numbers across Tamriel and Atmora, it would eventually change into outright worship of living
Dragons, Alduin being chief among them. The Dragons, for their part, believed that as children
of Akatosh, they were naturally superior to both man and mer and the fact that they held
immense power over mortals led them to the conclusion that power equals truth, which gave
them the justification that their rule over mortals was only natural.
 Dragons embraced their role as god-kings over men, but rather than deal with the actual ruling
itself, they granted small amounts of power to Dragon Priests in exchange for absolute
obedience. In turn, the priests ruled men as equals to kings. The priests set down laws and codes
of living that kept peace between Dragons and men, but to do so they demanded tribute. Their
system of rule was corrupted, however, and the priests began to rule with an iron fist, making
slaves of the rest of the population.
 A rebellion by the First Dragonborn and Dragon Priest Miraak failed, ending with the
destruction of his temple and his near death, only being saved by Hermaeus Mora's act of
pulling him into Apocrypha.
 The Elves drive the Men away during the Night of Tears, but Ysgramor soon returns with his
Five Hundred Companions.
Late Merethic Era - Circa 1E 660
 An immortal hero, warrior, sorcerer, and king variously known as Pelinal Whitestrake, Harrald
Hairy Breeks, Ysmir, Wulfharth, Hans the Fox, etc., wanders Tamriel, gathering armies,
conquering lands, ruling, then abandoning his kingdoms to wander again.
 Eventually, man rebelled against the great cruelty of Alduin and the Dragons and the Dragon
War began. At first, mankind was woefully outmatched, and was easily defeated by the Dragons
and their Voice. Kyne intervened and sent Paarthurnax to assist mankind. Paarthurnax,
originally the first lieutenant and brother of Alduin, betrayed his kin and taught the power of the
 Voice to mankind, creating the first Tongues. Several other Dragons sided with Paarthurnax.
 Mankind created a shout, known as Dragonrend, built on the hatred of the Dragons' tyranny and
oppression.
 The Dragon War reached its climax when the ancient Nord heroes, Hakon One-Eye, Felldir the
Old and Gormlaith Golden-Hilt, fought Alduin at a battle at the summit of the Throat of the
World. After Gormlaith was killed and Hakon severely wounded, Felldir used an Elder Scroll to
banish Alduin from the flow of Time, creating the Time Wound.
 The surviving Dragon Priests were overthrown, and the survivors of the Dragon Cult scattered
and hid in various places throught Skyrim. They entombed the remains of the Dragons that died
during the war within Dragon mounds, with the belief that Alduin would one day return and
resurrect the faithful. However, other sects within the cult believed only those who ascended to
the priesthood would be granted a second life.

Side Notes:
After the Pre-historic Age we've had 4 Ages: Ancient (4000BC-478AD) Medieval (478AD-1453AD)
Modern (1453AD-1789AD) and Contemporaneous (1789AD-Today) Therefore:
 First Era = 4000BC-478AD (1E 1 – 1E 4478)
 Second Era = 478AD-1453AD (2E 1 – 2E 975)
 Third Era = 1453AD-1789AD (3E 1 – 3E 336)
 Fourth Era = 1789AD-Today (4E 1 – 4E 228)

Nirn doesn't orbit arround the sun because it's in the center of the universe. Therefore the amount of
time it takes for the sun to orbit arround Nirn is equil to a year. On average, each month on Nirn has
about 30 days, same as months in real life. So presumably the years are almost equil to years in real
life. Here is where it gets confusing though. Skyrim came out in the year 2011 and took place in the
year 4E (fourth era) 201. So right now it would be the end of 4E 204. Oblivion took place in the year
3E 433, which was the last year before the fourth era began. So we have to go back 201 years from
2011 and subtract one to get to the time of oblivion. That puts us at the year 1809, back when the
napolionic wars were going on. To get to the beginning of the third era and the conquest of Tamriel by
talos, we have to go back 433 years, which puts us at 1376 in real life. Talos conquored Tamriel in 2E
896. So by subtracting 896 years from 1376 equils 481, just after the fall of rome, which is ironic
because it's the fall of the Reman dynasty in TES universe. Now we come to the first era, which is by
far the longest (2920 years). subtracting 2920 by 481 would get us to 1E 2439, the TES date of the
(supposed) birth of christ. So the begining of the first era would be 2439 BC, which is like centuries
before the pyramids were built.

Vampire Clans:
The types of vampire present in Tamriel are said to number over a hundred, with nine variations in the
Iliac Bay alone, each with its own powers and abilities. vampires are related by legend to the Daedric
Prince Molag Bal, who is referred to as the "Kin-father" of vampires. As the legend states, Bal is the
father of the first vampire, which leads to all of vampirekind being considered his offspring.
 Clan Volkihar (Sanguinare Vampiris) – Castle Volkihar
 Clan Movarth (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Morthal
 Clan Vighar (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Falkreath
 Vampyrum Order (Sanguinare Vampiris) – Cyrodiil//A ruthlessly effective faction, the Order
has monopolized Vampirism within the province, ousting all other bloodlines. Members are
experts of concealment and political manipulation; having infiltrated almost every other faction
in Cyrodiil; the vampires of the Order, under the guise of mortal men and women, infiltrated
politics and the highest echelons of society to consolidate their own power and establish
themselves as influential entrepreneurs. Despite being a powerful bloodline of vampires that
have managed to make Cyrodiil their stronghold during the Third Era, the Order's strength is
not in physical numbers, but instead the skillful manipulation of Imperial society. (Ventrue)
 Glenmoril Wyrd (Clan Glenmoril) (Sanguinare Vampiris) - High Rock, Skyrim, Solstheim,
Cyrodiil (This is a Witch Coven worshipping Hircine) (Tremere)

catatonic and harvest from them the red nectar," and are rivals to the Cyrodiil Vampyrum Order.
 Clan Lamae (Noxiphilic Sanguivoria) – Cold Harbour // neither burn nor weaken in the
sunlight, but rather become more powerful once night falls. Their abilities include invisibility.
 Clan Telboth (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Valenwood // The Telboth first prey upon children,
eventually taking their place in the family and waiting for years before claiming all of them as
victims
 Clan Yekef (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Valenwood //the Yekef are said to swallow men whole.
 Clan Keerilth (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Valenwood //The Keerilth have a signature ability of
temporarily disintegrating into mist (whether on land or underwater)
  Clan Bonsamu (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Valenwood //Bonsamu are said to be indistinguishable
from ordinary Bosmer except when seen by candlelight.
 Clan Quarra (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Vvardenfell //the most savage of vampire bloodlines, who
are known for their exceptional strength and endurance,[ and attack in a state of ecstatic frenzy
(Brujah)
 Clan Aundae (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Vvardenfell //potent spellcasters and seek to hypnotize
victims before feeding
 Clan Berne (Sanguinare Vampiris) - Vvardenfell //prefer stealth and ambush, first poisoning the
victim with a bite, then withdrawing to a safe distance and returning to feed only when the prey
is weakened.
 Clan Montalion (Sanguinare Vampiris) – Iliac Bay // They have the power of inherent
teleportation
 Clan Vraseth (Sanguinare Vampiris) – High Rock // they are gifted with nimbleness
 Clan Thrafey (Sanguinare Vampiris) – High Rock // whose bloodline grants the ability of
restoring damaged tissue,
 Clan Garlythi (Sanguinare Vampiris) – High Rock // gifted with the ability to magically shield
themselves from damage
 Clan Lyrezi (Sanguinare Vampiris) – High Rock // gifted with invisibility and the ability to
magically silence their enemies
 Clan Haarvenu (Sanguinare Vampiris) – High Rock // gifted in the school of Destruction magic
 Clan Selenu (Sanguinare Vampiris) – Hammerfell // are resistant to elemental attacks
 Clan Anthotis (Sanguinare Vampiris) – Hammerfell // are gifted with great intellect
 Clan Khulari (Sanguinare Vampiris) – Hammerfell // are gifted with the ability to paralyze their
prey
 Vampire groups exist in Elsweyr and the Summerset Isles, but not much is known about them.

Lamae Bal, also known as Lamae Beolfag, "Mother" Lamae, or the "Blood-Matron," was the first
recorded pure-blood vampire in Tamrielic history and one of the last known surviving Nedes.

Daedric Princes:

in Ayleid battle armor.

Xivilai.[33] They resulted from vestigial hybridization experiments in The Vile
Laboratory.
