Capital of The Empire and homeland of the Imperials. Cyrodiil is mostly an expanse of forests and rugged highlands, with the Nibenay Valley at its center, enclosed by deep forests. It is here the Imperial City stands, built across a chain of islands in the center of Lake Rumare by the ancient Ayleids.

Home of the feline race of the Khajiit, Elsweyr was divided into the two client kingdoms of the Aldmeri Dominion; Anequina, rulers over the inhospitable badlands of the north, and Pallitine who control the south of the province, a vast land of tropical rainforests and moonsugar plantations.

Hammerfell is a rugged land of deserts and arid grasslands, home to the Redguards. It is here you can find the Alik'r desert, filled with ruins of old civilizations long past, like the Dwemer who gave the province its name. Its blazing heat, ferocious sandstorms and lack of water make it nearly impossible to survive in the desert. A number of smaller islands also fall under the sway of Hammerfell, including Stros M'kai, Cespar, Herne and the Chain archipelago.

The small Imperially-recognised province of Nova Orsinium is located within the Craglorn region between Hammerfell and Skyrim. A mountaineous land that is sparsly inhabited, it was once ruled by Redguards from Dawnstar and Elinhir, but is now under the control of the largest single collection of Orcs, Nova Orsinium, and their Goblin and Ogre allies.

High Rock is a varied land of woods, fertile grasslands and windswept plateaus. Home to the Direnni Elves and the Bretons, who made vast riches trading along High Rock's Illiac Bay, the province is split into six kingdoms, loosely bound by the Imperial banner: Wayrest, Daggerfall-Camlorn, Evermore, Shornhelm-Northpoint, Farrun and Jehenna. A number of minor princedoms also exist, exerting independence from the six kingdoms, including the island Princedom of Betony and the Direnni Island of Belfiera.

The once mighty home of the proud Dunmer, Morrowind is a shadow of its former self. The 'Red Year', the eruption of the super volcano on the island of Vvardenfell, left the majority of the mainland covered in ash and in disarray. Pockets of Dunmeri civilisation hold out in the province, eking an existence out of the aftermath of their society's collapse.

Skyrim, the northern-most province of Tamriel, is the home of the hardy Nords. Skyrim boasts a diverse geography but the most common, and memorable, features is the icy chill to the air and the winter snows that move south from the glacial north and the Sea of Ghosts. Less urbanised than the other provinces, Skyrim still boasts a significant population in its few major cities and ports. It is considered a 'barbaric backwater' by most Tamrielic standards.

The heartlands of the Aldmeri Dominion, the Islands of Alinor (previously named The Summerset Archipelago) are considered by some to be the cradle of civilization. Two main islands make up this province, both islands are beautiful to behold. Some claim magic is responsible for the peaceful pastures and still lagoons of the province. Others more rightly point out the Altmer's almost militaristic pursuit of perfectionism in all regards, including cultural and political unity.
