The continent of Akavir, also known as "Dragon Land", is a landmass east of Tamriel. Many great emperors and explorers, such as Tiber Septim, have supposedly traveled to Akavir. No mer have ever lived there; those men that did were all "eaten" long ago by the Vampiric Serpent Folk of Tsaesci. There are four major nations on Akavir, each with its own race: Kamal, Tsaesci, Tang Mo and Ka Po' Tun.

Kamal is translated as "Snow Hell", and many armies of demons call it their home. Every summer they thaw out and attempt to invade Tang Mo, but are always driven back by the courageous monkey-folk who live there. Once Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal, a king among the demons, tried to invade and conquer Morrowind, but was destroyed by Almalexia and the Underking at Red Mountain.

Tsaesci is translated as "Snake Palace", and was once the strongest kingdom in Akavir. It is home to the Vampire Snake people who ate the men of Akavir long ago. They are described as beautiful, with golden scales, a human upper body and a snake like lower body. The goblin tribes of Akavir are their source of food and labour. Potentate Versidue-Shaie, was a Tsaesci who ruled Tamriel in the previous era for 400 years before being assassinated by the Morag Tong.

Tang Mo is translated as "The Thousand Monkey Isles". It is inhabited by many breeds of monkeys who are described as kind and brave. The other nations of Akavir have tried to enslave them at some point, but the monkeys can make armies if they must. They are apparently allies of the tiger people of Ka Po' Tun.

Ka Po' Tun is translated as the "Tiger-Dragon Empire". The inhabitants, of course, are a cat-like people and are ruled by the great ruler Tosh Raka, a tiger dragon. They are the greatest empire in Akavir, but are not skilled at fighting at sea. After the Serpent people ate the men, they tried to eat the dragons. They managed to make the red dragons slaves, but the black dragons fled to Po Tun. A great battle was fought, and it left both the cats and the snakes weak, and the dragons extinct. Since then, the cats have always tried to become dragons. Tosh Raka is the first and only so far to have accomplished this. He is the largest dragon on Nirn and is covered in Orange and Black Scales.

Tosh Raka wants to kill the Snakes, then when they are dead, plans to invade Tamriel.

[edit] Notes

According to rumors in Oblivion, the Nerevarine went on an expedition to Akavir, but has not been heard from since.
