Skyrim players can hear tell of the great Hist trees of Black Marsh, or the walking cities of Valenwood. The lack of recent direct depictions of these provinces left many of the areas of Tamriel which hadn't been seen since Arena cloaked in mystery. Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim brought their worlds to life in a way that simply wasn't possible when the first game released, making Vvardenfell, Cyrodiil and Skyrim worth revisiting in the more recent games. Although earlier Elder Scrolls games has taken players to each province in the land, the realization of the continent was hugely limited by the technology of the time. Tamriel has been the setting of every Elder Scrolls game so far, but as a setting, it now faces some problems it didn't when Skyrim released.
