Elder scrolls merethic era series#

The Late Middle Merethic Era is the period of the High Velothi Culture. Ostensibly a tributary to the High King of Alinor, the Heartland's long lines of communication from the Summerset Isles' sovereignty effectively isolated Cyrodiil from the High Kings at Crystal Tower.

Wild Elves, also known as the Heartland High Elves, preserved the Dawn Era magics and language of the Ehlnofey. It was also during this period that Ayleid (Wild Elven) settlements flourished in the heartland surrounding White-Gold Tower (in present-day Cyrodiil). They built Crystal Tower on Summerset Isle and, later, the White-Gold Tower in Cyrodiil.Дuring the Middle Merethic Era, Aldmeri explorers mapped the coasts of Vvardenfell, building the First Era High Elven wizard towers at Ald Redaynia, Bal Fell, Tel Aruhn, and Tel Mora in Morrowind. The Adamantine Tower was rediscovered and captured by the Direnni, a prominent and powerful Aldmeri clan. Wherever the beastfolk encountered the Elves, the sophisticated, literate, technologically advanced Aldmeri cultures displaced the primitive beastfolk into the jungles, marshes, mountains, and wastelands. Later inland settlements were founded primarily in fertile lowlands in southwest and central Tamriel. The first colonies were distributed at wide intervals on islands along the entire coast of Tamriel. In the Middle Merethic Era, the Aldmeri refugees (mortals of Elven origin) left their doomed, now-lost continent of Aldmeris (also known as 'Old Ehlnofey') and settled in southwestern Tamriel. (This corresponds roughly to the earliest historical dates given in various unpublished Elven chronicles.)Дuring the early Merethic Era, the aboriginal beast-peoples of Tamriel (the ancestors of the Khajiit, Argonians, Orcs, and other beastfolk) lived in preliterate communities throughout Tamriel. As such, the Merethic Era extends from ME 2500 in the distant past to ME 1, the year before the founding of the Camoran Dysnasty and the establishment of the White-Gold Tower as an independent city-state.ДЄccording to King Harald's bards, ME 2500 was the date of construction of the Adamantine Tower on Balfiera Island in High Rock, the oldest known structure of Tamriel. The earliest Merethic date cited by King Harald's scholars was ME 2500, the Nord reckoning of the first year of time. The prehistoric events of the Merethic Era are listed here with their traditional Nord Merethic dates.

The Merethic Era was figured by early Nord scholars as a series of years numbered in reverse order backward from their 'beginning of time': the founding of the Camoran Dynasty, recorded as Year Zero of the First Era.
