Can someone clarify the timeline of events during the Merethic Era? I’m also not entirely sure what event marks the beginning of the First Era?
The first humans arrived on Tamriel in Skyrim, originating from Akaviir. Their city was wiped out by Falmer with few survivors returning to Akaviir Ysgrammor and his Companions return and genocide the Falmer The Dragons rule Tamriel and are worshipped by mortals The Dragon War happens with humans fighting dragons (must be after the Companions return) The war against the Falmer happens after the Dragon War (Rahgost and his followers were unknown holdouts found by an army moving to attack the Falmer) The Ayleids at some point enslave the humans The Falmer lose to the Nords and gain “sanctuary” with the Dwemer The Dwemer wipe themselves out of existence while fighting the Chimer The Chimer become Dunmer Olaf One Eye captures Numinex Miiraak rebels (has to happen before the Dragon War but after the Night of Tears) The Greybeards are founded by Jurgen Windcaller and Parthunaxx (after the Dragon War and Battle of Red Mountain) Serana is sealed (her crypt is built under and after a Dragon Cult base but before any Empire founded; also Skyrim had High Kings at the time she was buried) The Falmer rebelled against the Dwemer (before the latter disappeared) Pelinal and Saint Alessia free the humans from elves and start and elven genocide Tiber Septim creates an Empire The first vampire is created before Serana King Haraldr must have been in the Dragon Cult as the Gauldr sons are Draugrs, and that is a Dragon Cult process All High Kings before him must have also been in the Dragon Cult Skyrim had High Kings before rebelling from the dragons The White Gold Tower is built before the Ayleids go extinct Talos becomes the ninth divine giving his descendants divine right to rule (is also Dragonborn but is after the dragons are mostly gone) The Chimer worship the Daedra (everything about Solsteim messes up my sense of time) I’d assume worship of other beings isn’t common while Alduin is ruling the world instead of eating it The Khajiit create a moon colony The Triumvirate rise as gods and the Chimer become Dunmer The Argonians are enslaved by Dunmer Durneviir ends up guarding Valerica in the Soul Cairn (has to be shortly after sealing Serana) Shalidor founds the College of Winterhold (has to be while the Dragon Cult exists as he also built Labyrinthian) Jyggylag becomes Sheogorath (happens before the Dwemer go extinct as they know him) The Argonians are created by the Hist
