Arthomodeus’ Maps of Tamriel

ArthmodeusD’s maps are very outdated at this point, but are listed here for posterity. The general shape of Tamriel, as well as most labels outside of Morrowind and Cyrodiil, are based on Arena. The shape and location of Pyandonea are very roughly based on the globe in Daggerfall (see above). The names of Yokuda, and many in Hammerfell and the Summerset Isles, are roughly interpreted from the West Tamriel map and are inaccurate.
