Colovia is the western part of Cyrodiil and is known for its austere, martial culture and rugged population of Nordic descendants. Most of the population resides in the cities of the south, although there are scattered farms and settlements throughout the area. The region around the sea port of Anvil is known as the Gold Coast. The region around Skingrad is known as the West Weald, and is well known for its vineyards and tomato farms. The city of Kvatch lies on a rocky outcrop between Anvil and Skingrad, with the Imperial Reserve stretching away to the north. The city of Chorrol is the main population center in the northern part of Colovia, a hilly, forested region known as the Colovian Highlands. Colovia's liberation came late in the Alessian Uprising, after the support of Skyrim was secured. When Nibenay was dominated by the Alessian doctrine, Colovin resisted eastern rule and contributed to its final fall. The region has traditionally contributed its sons to the Imperial Legion, making up the bulk its ranks in native legions.
