Tamriel is the vast continent where the events of the Elder Scrolls occur. It consists of 9 regions, which are all provinces of the Empire based in Cyrodiil.

The provinces:

• Cyrodiil - This province lies in the central-south of Tamriel and is the home of a human race named Imperials. It is the center of their Empire, which controls all other provinces. Cyrodiil is also known as the Heartland. Cyrodiil is the setting for the game The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
• Morrowind - The province in the northeast corner of Tamriel and home to the Dunmer (Dark Elves). It consists of a continental mainland and a large island in the center called Vvardenfell, seperated by a inlet from the Sea of Ghosts. Vvardenfell is the setting for the game The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind.
• Skyrim - this is the most northern of Tamriel and it is inhabited by a human race called Nords. It is a cold and mountainous region.
• High Rock - Home to the Bretons, this province is divided in multiple Breton city states and minor kingdoms. It is a temperate coastal region in north-western Tamriel.
• Hammerfell - Lying in the west of Tamriel, this province is dominated by the Alik'r desert. Hammerfell is inhabited by the human race of Redguards.
• Summerset - A large island at he south-west of Tamriel, often called Summerset Isle. Here live the Altmer (High Elves).
• Valenwood - the densely forested, sub-tropical region that forms the south-west coastal plain of Tamriel. Valenwood is home to the Bosmer (Wood Elves).
• Elsweyr - divided across arid badlands to the North and a more populous sub-tropical zone in the South, this region marks the southern coast of Tamriel. Elsweyr is home to the Khajiit.
• Black Marsh - a huge and mostly unchartered region of densely vegetated wetlands, at the south-eastern tip of Tamriel. Argonians thrive in the foreboding swamps of Black Marsh.

The planet that Tamriel is on is referred to as Nirn or Mundus. This world also contains other continents: Akavir, Atmora, Yokuda, Pyandonea and Thras.
