Akaviri

The Akaviri are a people and culture originating from the continent of Akavir, east of Tamriel. Little is definitively known about their history, though they have interacted with Tamrielic nations on several occasions, most notably through invasions. Their society is complex and alien to Tamrielic understanding, often described as a martial and hierarchical culture.

There are generally considered to be four distinct Akaviri races: the Kamal, Tang Mo, Tsaesci, and Ka Po' Tun. The Kamal are known for their amphibious nature and their ability to manifest from ice. The Tang Mo are a primate-like people, often described as monkey-folk. The Tsaesci are serpentine beings who have historically been a significant force in Akaviri incursions into Tamriel. The Ka Po' Tun are a tiger-like race, often depicted as powerful warriors with a strong sense of honor and ambition.

The Akaviri have a long and often violent history with Tamriel. Several major invasions have been recorded, the most famous occurring during the First and Second Eras. These invasions often resulted in significant upheaval and conflict within Tamriel. Despite their aggressive history, some Akaviri have integrated into Tamrielic society, and their martial prowess and unique cultures have left a lasting, albeit often mysterious, impact on the continent. Their origins and ultimate goals remain subjects of much speculation and debate among Tamrielic scholars and historians.
