ESO Pre-Alpha Map

Datamined from the very first beta test, this map seems to show a very early (pre-alpha) plan for the ESO zones. Most of it matches the released base game, and correctly predicts some eventually released content, but about a third of the zones differ from the game as it currently stands.

Year shown: circa 2E 582

Date created: before 2013

Maps Made or Modified by Fans

This section contains maps that were primarily created by fans. Despite being fan made, all maps in this section are based strictly on lore sources (as opposed to headcanon). Maps that were combined or extracted by fans without artistic/scholarly interpretation are instead housed in the official maps section above.

Lady Nerevar's Complete Map of Tamriel

This map uses official maps, in-game info, and datamined information to put together a comprehensive look at Tamriel at the time of TESV. While everything is taken from lore, the exact location of the borders and whether certain locations still exist at this time is speculative.

Year shown: 4E 201

Created by: Lady Nerevar

Date created: 2017-2019

Dillon241 Map of Tamriel and Yokuda

This map draws on a variety of sources from games and written lore to create a comprehensive map of Tamriel and Yokuda. According to Dillon, it does not represent any particular era, though it must predate the Red Year in 4E 5.

Dillon241 West Tamriel Map

This map recreates the West Tamriel map from Redguard in high resolution and with readable labels. All labels are taken from Redguard loading screens or box art.

Arthomodeus' Map 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ArthmodeusD's maps are very outdated at this point, but are listed here for posterity.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.

Year shown: 3E 433
