Akaviri: A race of men from the far east who are known for their blades, armor, and exotic customs. They are divided into the Snake worshiping servants of the Tsae Sci, the devout disciples of the Tiger Dragon, the various tribes of the Thousand Monkey Isles, and the Kamal of the frozen north. Kreath: A people of mixed Imperial and Nordic heritage native to Falkreath. They are descendants of the Men-of-Kreath. Nords: A race of pale skinned warriors who dominate most of the land of Skyrim. Most have moved into cities, but some, known as Barbarians, still practice the Shamanic ways of their nomadic ancestors. Wrothgarians: Also known as Forsworn, The Folk, or Reachmen. These savage warriors are native to the mountains of Wrothgar, Dragontail, and Skyrim. They are barely recognized as people by other humans for their evil and backwards ways. Breton: A race of men with a strong degree of elven heritage, the people of High Rock trace their lineage to the druidic elves and men of the lost kingdom of Galen. The realms of this land all have their own unique traditions and customs, and foreigners are often amazed at the degree of cooperation between Men and Mer seen in this land. Yokudan: A race of dark skinned invaders who conquered Hammerfell after much of their own homeland was lost to a great flood. Those who trace their lineage to the northern realms of lost Yokuda have comparatively lighter skin tones than their southern kin. Imperials: The three peoples of the Empire are the Colovians, the Nibenians, and the Cyrodiliics. While the Colovians consider themselves the "true" Imperials and are known for their architecture and language, the Nibenians are a deeply spiritual race native to the Great Tiger Basin. The Cyrodiilics are a mix of these peoples with a splash of Nordic blood. Rimmen: The humans of Elsweyr are a mix of Redguard, Imperial, and Akaviri blood and are more similar to the Khaajit than their human ancestors in terms of language and culture. Gypsies: Also known as Rema, these nomadic wagon dwellers travel Tamriel selling potions, enchantments and baubles. Ketic: The red skinned descendants of the various tribal groups that predated the empire. Some still live as nomads in southern Cyrodiil. Roscreans: Dark haired nomads known to prowl the Sea of Ghosts. Rihad: An ethnic minority within the Empire and Hammerfell.
