The Geopolitics of Tamriel: Geography & the Elder Scrolls

This video is a long look at how the geography of Tamriel from the Elder Scrolls games would facilitate the geopolitics and rise of states and empires. I was torn between making a video that covers the *actual*, lore-based geopolitical situation as we saw it in Skyrim- the Empire falling apart, the Aldmeri Dominion threatening it, the Argonians invading Morrowind, but that's been so covered that it wouldn't be unique. Going over the fantasy geography of Tamriel seemed like a great way to cover a lot of geographical concepts as they pertain to world-building in one single video, so here you go!
