The Great War and the Great Journey After the end of the civil war in Skyrim, a peace treaty between the Stormcloaks and the Imperials was secured, but a bigger conflict arose from the ashes of war. The treaty granted Skyrim its religous and governing freedoms from the control of the Empire. The Thalmor, who had an agreement with the empire on Skyrim's religous laws, declared open war against the empire. Negotiations fell out of control and the entire continent of Tamriel fell into the conflict. War and chaos consumed almost every city and territory until they were completely tearing each other apart. This war, along with the Dragon threat, brought endless dark days for the inhabitants of Tamerial and its provinces.

In the days just before the Great War, a trade route with the Tang Mo (Monkey people) of Akavir was established. For as long as anyone could remember, it was always a very dangerous journey to Akavir, but a group of experiance sailers finally layed out a safe route. After Tang Mo's several trade agreements with differant Tamerial factions and provinces, the colony of Thanefall was eventually established close to the Tang Mo borders in southwestern Akavir. The colony consisted of many peoples all races of Tamerial. It grew very quickly into a city and eventually secured nearby lands as a small territory in Akavir. A free trade market was the basis of the first government of Thanefall but as it grew in population, it became an independant state, seprate from the empire and the territories of Tamrial. Several forts and outposts were built nearby and a small army was formed as protection and a safe guard from the local threats.

Immigrants from all over Tamerial, hearing rumors of its rich lands and friendly peoples, found passage to Akavir along the trade routes. Many were trying to escape the fires of war or wanted freedom for religous practices. Some traveled for wealth and power. But there were some that made the journey to Akavir for a greater purpose. It had called on them, somehow it beckoned them to make the journey. What was this calling? What dangerous and riches await would-be adventurers? What causes will they fight for? Only time will tell. Only the scrolls know.

Races:

Kamal (Snow Demons)

Kamal is one of the four main nations in Akavir and also the name of the race of snow demons who live there. The word means "Snow Hell".

The snow demons spend the winter frozen solid, but when summer comes they thaw out and attack Tang Mo, always unsuccessfully. On one occasion, the Kamal invaded Tamriel under their king, Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal. The invasion had some success at first, including the sacking of Windhelm in Skyrim, but was eventually defeated by Almalexia and the Underking in a battle at Red Mountain. The date of this invasion is not known precisely, although it is definitely after the War of Succession in 1E 420 and about 300 years before the accession of Tiber Septim to the Imperial throne, suggesting a date of around 2E 550.

Ka Po' Tun (Tiger-Dragons)

Ka Po' Tun (meaning Tiger-Dragon's Empire), originally called Po Tun, is a nation of Akavir. It is inhabited by a race of cat-folk also called the Ka Po' Tun. They are ruled by Tosh Raka, the divine Tiger-Dragon who bears similarities to Akatosh. Ka Po' Tun has become a very great empire, stronger than Tsaesci in all but naval battle. When the Tsaesci attempted to enslave the dragons, the black dragons fled to Po Tun. A great war was raged, which left both the cat-folk and the snakes weak, and resulted in the death of the dragons. Since that time, the cat-folk have tried to become the dragons. Tosh Raka was the first to succeed, and renamed the nation to Ka Po' Tun. Ka Po' Tun plans to kill the Tsaesci and then invade Tamriel.

Tsaesci (Snake-Men)

Tsaesci (meaning Snake Palace) is a nation found in the southwest of Akavir. It was once the most powerful nation in Akavir, before Tosh Raka came to Po Tun and renamed it Ka Po' Tun. Its naval power remains unrivalled, and its holdings are widespread. Men once lived in Tsaesci, but the vampiric serpent-folk (also called Tsaesci) ate them. The Tsaesci have enslaved the goblins of the surrounding isles, and use them for labour and food. They once attempted to enslave the dragons as well for use as food, and succeeded in enslaving the red dragons, but the black dragons fled to Po Tun. A great war was raged, which left both the cat-folk and the snakes weak, and resulted in the death of the dragons.

Tsaesci has had the most interaction with Tamriel of any Akaviri nation. The serpent-folk once invaded Tamriel in 1E 2703, and survivors left a large cultural influence on the Empire. The Dragonguard, a group dedicated to dragon hunting, came to Tamriel from Tsaesci and played a part in the formation of the Blades. Many Tsaesci relics and ruins remain in Tamriel, and most citizens think of the snake-folk when speaking of Akavir.

Tsaesci was invaded by Emperor Uriel Septim V in 3E 288, who founded the Imperial Province of Akavir. The settlements of Septimia and Ionith, located along a large river surrounded by fertile fields, were captured and refounded by the Empire. Thousands of settlers were brought to Akavir, and a road was built connecting the two settlements. The invasion lasted until 3E 290, when the Tsaesci attacked the invading Legions, who were already weakened by supernatural weather. This resulted in the death of Uriel V and most of the invasion force. The natives reclaimed the land, and Tsaesci has not been visited by Imperial forces since.

Tang Mo (Monkey People)

Tang Mo translates as "The Thousand Monkey Isles". It is home to generous and kind monkey people. There are various breeds of them. They are very brave and simple, and many are also believed to be insane. They can raise armies when they must, for all of the other Akaviri nations have, at one time or another, tried to enslave them. So far the Tang Mo have always succeeded in defending their lands. Recently they have shrewdly allied themselves with their former enemies, the Ka Po' Tun.

As with most of the other races of Akavir, little is known about the Tang Mo other than the dubious information provided in the book, Mysterious Akavir.
