Padomaic Ocean

The Padomaic Ocean encompasses all of mainland Tamriel. The continent of Akavir lies across the Padomaic Ocean to the east, and the continent of Atmora lies across the Sea of Ghosts to the north. The Padomaic Ocean meets the Eltheric Ocean in the west.

The Pale

The Pale is a northern boot-shaped hold of Skyrim, one of the four known collectively as the Old Holds. The hold is a barren realm covered by vast fields of ice and snow, some scattered mountains, and some pine forests. It stretches from the center of Skyrim all the way to its northern coast. Lake Yogrim marks the eastern corner, while the capital Dawnstar is a busy port found along the northern coast. The hold's distinctive boot shape is due to it curving around the mountain range which forms its border with Winterhold.

Pale Pass

The Pale Pass is a secluded pass through the Jerall Mountains on the Cyrodiil-Skyrim border. A ruined Imperial fort can be found in the pass. The flora is similar to the rest of the mountain range, and a tribe of ogres inhabit the area. A cobbled road winds its way through the pass, and many small frozen lakes culminate in the lowest parts of the valley. The easiest way to get to and from the pass on the Cyrodiil side is to go through a natural cave system located north of Bruma, named the Serpent's Trail by the Akaviri. The pass emerges into Falkreath Hold on the Skyrim side, near the settlements of Helgen and Neugrad Watch.

Panther River

The Panther River rises in southeastern Cyrodiil, close to the border with Black Marsh, and flows mainly westwards until passing through a large meander into Niben Bay. "The Mouth of the Panther", as the river's delta is dramatically known, contains many jagged rocks notorious for destroying ships.

Sea of Pearls

The Sea of Pearls are the waters south of the island group of Yokuda, roughly at the equator, found far to the west of Hammerfell's coast. The Sea of Pearls is part of the Eltheric Ocean.

Pelagiad

Pelagiad was a small settlement in the Ascadian Isles region of Morrowind, on the island of Vvardenfell. It was home to an Imperial Legion fort.

Pellitine

Pellitine (also known as Pa'alatiin and Pelletine) was a kingdom in southern Tamriel that merged with its rival Anequina in 2E 309 to form the province of Elsweyr. It was located in the south of Elsweyr province. During the First Era, Pellitine was one of the ports that traded with the burgeoning Imperial City.

The only known ruler of the kingdom is Eshita, who married Keirgo, the ruler of Anequina to cement an alliance and form Elsweyr.

In 4E 115, a coup backed by the Thalmor dissolved the Elsweyr Confederacy. In its place, the kingdoms of Anequina and Pelletine were recreated and became client states of the second Aldmeri Dominion.

Phrygias

The Barony of Phrygias is a region on the western coast of High Rock (in the Iliac Bay region). It is surrounded by Ykalon to the south, Urvaius and Dwynnen to the east, and the Wrothgarian Mountains to the north. Bretons call this province home. The Garlythi clan is the predominant vampire bloodline in the region. The provincial seat is the city of Phrygias. Phrygias was one of the primary members of a coalition that fought and defeated the forces of the Camoran Usurper in the massive Battle of Firewaves.

Pinnacle Rock

Pinnacle Rock is the home of the Mazken in the Shivering Isles, located in Dementia at the southern tip of the Madgod's Boot. This is the Mazken's most sacred place, as it contains the Wellspring of the Mazken. The souls of the fallen are called from the Waters of Oblivion to the Font of Rebirth by use of ceremonial chimes. The stronghold was a gift from Lord Sheogorath, and no mortals are usually permitted inside its sacred halls.

In 3E 433 Pinnacle Rock was invaded by Order. This was rumored to have been caused by the subterfuge of Syl, a previous Duchess of Dementia who had been converted to a Priestess of Order in the coming Greymarch, although this conflicts with the rumors of her assassination. The effects of this infiltration was devastating on the realm's army. Order crystals covered the Wellspring, drying up its waters and turning the Mazken to stone. Sheogorath's Champion, who had been granted access to the stronghold to fight the invading Knights of Order, was able to shatter the crystals around the Wellspring and restore the Mazken, who were then able to defeat the remaining forces of Order.

The Pits

The Pits is a realm of Oblivion, created and ruled over by Peryite, the Daedric Prince of Pestilence. Here, Peryite guards the lowest orders of Oblivion. The realm resembles the Deadlands, with lava seas, volcanic islands and ruined structures. The realm is usually completely inaccessible to mortals, but there have been several exceptions.

Plaza Brindisi Dorom

The Plaza Brindisi Dorom occupies the southernmost quadrant of Mournhold. It is a public garden dominated by a great statue at its center.

The plaza is named after Indoril Brindisi Dorom, the duke of Mournhold who was killed when Mehrunes Dagon destroyed the city in 1E 2920.

The Southwest Gate leads to Godsreach, the Southeast Gate to the Great Bazaar, and The Gates of Symmachus to the outside world.

After the events that occur during the Fabricant assault on the Plaza, the statue of Almalexia and Mehrunes Dagon in the center of the square is torn asunder, revealing an entrance to the Dwemer Ruins of Bamz-Amschend.

Port Telvannis

Port Telvannis is the largest settlement and harbor in the Telvanni District of eastern Morrowind. It is located on the southern coast of the largest of the three islands in the northeast of the province.

Pothago

The Duchy of Pothago is a small region on the western coast of Hammerfell, in the Iliac Bay region. It is surrounded by Myrkwasa to the east and Kairou to the south. The Redguards who live here have declared no official or predominate deity. The duchy's capital is the city of Pothago. The Selenu clan is the predominant vampire bloodline in the region.

Pyandonea

Pyandonea is an island-continent located to the far southwest of Tamriel and home to the elusive Maormer. The island is covered mostly in rain forests which provides a habitat for the southern water spirits. Maormer practice a powerful form of snake magic and use it to tame the sea serpents of Pyandonea for use as mounts and warbeasts. King Orgnum, famous for his coffer, was from this land. At one point, they may have been allies of the Aldmeri Dominion.

Throughout the First and Second Eras, the Maormer ravaged and pillaged the land of the Altmer relentlessly, even more so than the Sload of Thras. The last contact with the continent was in 3E 110 during the War of the Isle, when the Altmer, with the help of the Imperial Navy and possibly even the Psijic Order, eventually vanquished the Pyandonean Armada. Another account credits a freak storm for the demise of the fleet.
