The Elder Scrolls
About
The Elder Scrolls is an iconic fantasy action role-playing game series spanning more than three decades, set across the richly imagined world of Tamriel and celebrated for its free-form, open-world gameplay, deep world-building and extraordinary sense of player freedom. From Morrowind and Oblivion to the landmark Skyrim, each adventure invites players to forge their own path through vast landscapes filled with ancient cultures, powerful magic, legendary creatures and centuries of lore. Few fantasy game worlds offer the same depth or freedom to explore, making Tamriel a place generations of players have returned to again and again.
