Nirn (the mortal realm in which the Elder Scrolls games take place) is home to many diverse peoples. These physical and cultural divisions are commonly referred to as races. This section provides an overview (largely in the form of in-game descriptions) of all the different sentient mortal peoples of Tamriel and beyond.
The green checkmark icon denotes those peoples that are available in the player character selection.
Sentient Divine or Daedric creatures (such as Dragons or Dremora) are not listed here.
Tamriel
(Primarily friendly and "human" -- think of a category term)
(Primarily hostile, beastmen or magical -- think of a category term)
