Tamriel is the fictional continent where the events of
The Elder Scrolls games take place. It is located on the planet of
Nirn, which is the mortal realm of the finite and the partial, as opposed to the immortal realms of the infinite and the absolute. In the Elder Scrolls, Mundus, another name for Nirn, is the Elvish root for the human word "mundane", meaning ordinary. Some, such as the
Mythic Dawn however, view Tamriel as an extension of the realm of Oblivion itself.
