predominantly with sports and action games. In the six years from its founding to Arena's 1994 release, Bethesda had released ten games, six of them sports games,<a href="#cite_note-DIR-9">[8]</a> with titles such as <a href="/wiki/Hockey_League_Simulator" class="mw-redirect" title="Hockey League Simulator">Hockey League Simulator</a>, <a href="/wiki/NCAA_Basketball:_Road_to_the_Final_Four" title="NCAA Basketball: Road to the Final Four">NCAA Basketball: Road to the Final Four</a> ('91/'92 Edition), and <a href="/wiki/Wayne_Gretzky_Hockey" title="Wayne Gretzky Hockey">Wayne Gretzky Hockey</a>,<a href="#cite_note-MOBYS-10">[9]</a> and the remaining four adaptations from other media,<a href="#cite_note-DIR-9">[8]</a> primarily the <a href="/wiki/Terminator_(franchise)" title="Terminator (franchise)">Terminator</a> series.<a href="#cite_note-MOBYS-10">[9]</a> Bethesda's course changed abruptly when it began working on its first action role-playing game.

The player, and a team of their fighters, would travel the world, fighting other teams in their arenas until the player became "grand champion" in the world's capital, the Imperial City.<a href="#cite_note-ARBTS-12">[11]</a> Along the way, side quests of a more role-playing nature could be completed. As the process of development progressed, however, the tournaments became less important and the side quests more.<a href="#cite_note-TEDDERS-11">[10]</a> Role-playing game elements were added, as it expanded to include cities outside the arenas, and dungeons beyond the cities.<a href="#cite_note-ARBTS-12">[11]</a> Eventually it was decided to drop the idea of tournaments altogether, and focus on quests and dungeons,<a href="#cite_note-TEDDERS-11">[10]</a> making the game a "full-blown [role-playing game]".<a href="#cite_note-ARBTS-12">[11]</a> Although the team had dropped all arena combat from the game, all the material had already been printed up with the title, so the game went to market as The Elder Scrolls: Arena. Lakshman, who then worked at Christopher Weaver's Bethesda Softworks, came up with the name of The Elder Scrolls<a href="#cite_note-TEDDERS-11">[10]</a> and the words eventually came to mean "Tamriel's mystical tomes of knowledge that told of its past, present, and future".<a href="#cite_note-ARBTS-12">[11]</a> The game's initial <a href="/wiki/Voice-over" title="Voice-over">voice-over</a> was changed in response, beginning: "It has been foretold in the Elder Scrolls ..."<a href="#cite_note-TEDDERS-11">[10]</a> Bethesda missed their Christmas 1993 deadline for releasing Arena, and the game was released in the first quarter of 1994 instead, a "really serious [mistake] for a small developer/publisher like Bethesda Softworks". The packaging included a scantily clad female warrior, which further contributed to distributor concern, leading to an initial distribution of only 20,000 units. Having missed the Christmas sales season, the development team was concerned that they "had screwed the company". Nevertheless, sales continued to grow, month after month, as news of the game was passed by word-of-mouth.<a href="#cite_note-TEDDERS-11">[10]</a> Despite some initial <a href="/wiki/Software_bug" title="Software bug">software bugs</a>,<a href="#cite_note-TEDDERS-11">[10]</a> and the formidable demands the game made on players' machines,<a href="#cite_note-HIST-13">[12]</a> it became a cult hit.<a href="#cite_note-DIR-9">[8]</a> Evaluations of the game's success varied from "modest"<a href="#cite_note-HIST-13">[12]</a> to "wild".<a href="#cite_note-DIR-9">[8]</a> Still, the game maintained traction with its audience.

In Arena, players advance by killing monsters (and thereby gaining <a href="/wiki/Experience_point" title="Experience point">experience points</a>) until a preset value is met, whereupon they level-up. However, in Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion, the series took a skill-based approach to character advancement. Players develop their characters' skills by applying them and only level-up when a certain set of skills have been developed. Skyrim took a new approach, where the more a skill is leveled, the more it helps to level the character. This shifted the focus away from character creation and more onto character development. The flexibility of the games' engines has facilitated the release of game extensions (or <a href="/wiki/Mod_(computer_gaming)" class="mw-redirect" title="Mod (computer gaming)">mods</a>) through <a href="/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Construction_Set" class="mw-redirect" title="The Elder Scrolls Construction Set">The Elder Scrolls Construction Set</a>. The Elder Scrolls main series of games emphasizes different aspects of the gaming experience than most role-playing games. A brief article by Joystiq in early November 2006 compared <a href="/wiki/BioWare" title="BioWare">BioWare</a>'s creations to Bethesda's by noting a difference in emphasis. Bethesda's creations focused on "aesthetic presentation and open-ended adventuring"; BioWare's on a combat system and modular architecture.<a href="#cite_note-82">[81]</a> This overarching aim has been noted by their designers as well. Bethesda has described their motivations in creating the first series game, Arena, as those of any good pen-and-paper role-playing games: creating an environment in which the player could be what the player wants and do what the player wants.<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a> Daggerfall's manual begins with a design manifesto, declaring the developers' intention to "create a book with blank pages" and "a game designed to encourage exploration and reward curiosity". Choices, in the form of paths taken by the player, to do good, to chase after evil, are left open to the player, "just like in real life".<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a> This design trend continued with Morrowind, following the hiatus of similarly epic games in the interim, though Joystiq's previously noted insistence on graphics came again to the fore. During the development of Morrowind, Bethesda tripled its staff, so as to perfectly color its newly hand-made world. In their own words, "We knew we had to exceed the visual polish of the other games on the market, and we made it our goal to put The Elder Scrolls back into the forefront of game innovation."<a href="#cite_note-85">[84]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Series_overview">Series overview</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Elder_Scrolls&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Series overview">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Setting">Setting</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Elder_Scrolls&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Setting">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_(4%D0%95201).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_%284%D0%95201%29.jpg/220px-%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_%284%D0%95201%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="164" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_%284%D0%95201%29.jpg/330px-%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_%284%D0%95201%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_%284%D0%95201%29.jpg/440px-%D0%9F%D0%BE%D0%BB%D1%96%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%80%D1%82%D0%B0_%D0%A2%D0%B0%D0%BC%D1%80%D1%96%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8F_%284%D0%95201%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1500" data-file-height="1116" /></a><figcaption>Map of Tamriel, <abbr title="circa">c.</abbr> 4E 201 (beginning of Skyrim)</figcaption></figure> The Elder Scrolls takes place in a <a href="/wiki/High_fantasy" title="High fantasy">high fantasy</a> world with influences from real world cultures.<a href="#cite_note-medieval-86">[85]</a>: 138  Like most works of high fantasy, The Elder Scrolls games are typically serious in tone and epic in scope, dealing with themes of a grand struggle against a supernatural or evil force. Many races exist in the world of The Elder Scrolls, some typical of high fantasy works, such as humans, orcs and elves; some atypical, such as the lizard-like Argonians and cat-like Khajiit; and some subversions, such as the extinct Dwemer, known colloquially as "dwarves", who follow the high fantasy stereotype of being subterranean, skilled <a href="/wiki/Metallurgists" class="mw-redirect" title="Metallurgists">metallurgists</a> and masons, but are actually classified as a variety of elf who are highly technologically advanced. As is also typical in high fantasy works, magic and sorcery, mythical creatures, factions with their own political agendas, walled medieval cities and strongholds, and plot elements driven by prophecies and legends are common. The Elder Scrolls is known for its attention to detail, including extensive lore, scenery and back story. There is no omniscient narrator. Instead, the lore is presented in-universe, as written by the fictional scholars who inhabit the world, and it is subject to their biases and speculation. Players are encouraged to form their own interpretations of the lore and have developed extensive fan works. The developers avoid invalidating or overruling fan theories through <a href="/wiki/Canon_(fiction)" title="Canon (fiction)">canon</a>. Internal inconsistencies are explained as errors in scholarship. Some inconsistencies, such as incorporating mutually exclusive endings to earlier games, are intentionally introduced and explained as magical paradoxes.<a href="#cite_note-87">[86]</a> Other elements of the lore are intentionally contradictory or made ambiguous to allow players to decide for themselves what is true. Players can, for example, deny being a prophesied hero or accept the role.<a href="#cite_note-oral-88">[87]</a> The first game in the series, Arena, featured little in the way of lore and lacked many elements that would come to define the series.<a href="#cite_note-89">[88]</a> An elaborate system of gods and myths were introduced in the second game, Daggerfall.<a href="#cite_note-evolution-8">[7]</a> The lore's complexity came from a desire to improve on the writing in Arena, which had been criticized as lackluster.<a href="#cite_note-90">[89]</a> After Daggerfall, the designers focused on further expanding the lore once they realized they still did not know much about the world's fictional history or religions.<a href="#cite_note-oral-88">[87]</a> The series' <a href="/wiki/Religious_cosmology" title="Religious cosmology">fictional cosmology</a> is inspired by <a href="/wiki/Gnosticism" title="Gnosticism">Gnosticism</a>.<a href="#cite_note-91">[90]</a> There are contradictory <a href="/wiki/Creation_myth" title="Creation myth">creation myths</a>, one of which claims that some of the gods were tricked into creating the mortal world, surrendering a portion of their power. These became the Nine Divines (also known as Aedra), who are worshipped as benevolent deities. A separate pantheon of more demonic deities known as the Daedra retain their full power and reside in Oblivion, a separate dimension.<a href="#cite_note-92">[91]</a> Individual Daedra are not necessarily evil, though they are often depicted as lacking empathy.<a href="#cite_note-93">[92]</a> The Elder Scrolls games primarily take place on the continent of Tamriel, located on the planet of Nirn.<a href="#cite_note-94">[93]</a> The exceptions are <a href="/wiki/An_Elder_Scrolls_Legend:_Battlespire" title="An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire">An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire</a>, which is set in a different dimension; portions of <a href="/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion" title="The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion">The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion</a> and the entirety of its expansion, <a href="/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Shivering_Isles" title="The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles">Shivering Isles</a>, which take place in Oblivion;<a href="#cite_note-95">[94]</a> quests in Oblivion during the Dawnguard and Dragonborn add-ons of <a href="/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_V:_Skyrim" title="The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim">The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim</a>; and further quests in Oblivion from <a href="/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Online" title="The Elder Scrolls Online">The Elder Scrolls Online</a>. Other continents exist on Nirn aside from Tamriel, such as Akavir, Pyandonea, Yokuda, and Atmora, but the people of Tamriel have little to no contact with these other continents and therefore do not possess much verifiable knowledge about them.<a href="#cite_note-96">[95]</a> Tamriel comprises nine provinces, each of which is dominated by a distinct race: Black Marsh is home to the Argonians; Cyrodiil is home to the Imperials; Elsweyr is home to the Khajiit; Hammerfell is home to the Redguards; High Rock is home to the Bretons; Morrowind is home to the Dunmer, or Dark Elves; Skyrim is home to the Nords; Summerset Isle is home to the Altmer, or High Elves; and Valenwood is home to the Bosmer, or Wood Elves. A tenth race, the Orsimer, or Orcs, reside in settlements scattered across Tamriel and, at some points in history, a kingdom inside High Rock known as Orsinium.<a href="#cite_note-97">[96]</a> Although various empires have controlled Tamriel over its several thousand years of recorded history, most games in the series have taken place during the Third Cyrodiilic Empire, which initially unites the entire continent under the reign of the Septim dynasty. In Arena, players are tasked with freeing the Emperor Uriel Septim VII from a magical prison engineered by his court wizard, who has usurped the throne and magically disguised himself as the Emperor. In Daggerfall, Uriel VII tasks the player with finding a powerful artifact. The player can give it to any of several factions, which will use it to reshape the regional power structure. In Morrowind, the player is prophesied to be the reincarnation of a great elven hero. Taking advantage of this, the Empire tasks the player with stabilizing the province of Morrowind by putting down a rebellion by a would-be god. In Oblivion, a religious cult opens a dimensional gate to a Hell-like realm and throws the Empire into chaos by killing Uriel VII and all of his known heirs. Although the player assists an illegitimate royal heir in closing the dimensional gate, the heir's heroic sacrifice brings an abrupt end to the Septim bloodline, causing a succession crisis that devastates the Empire and reduces it to a <a href="/wiki/Rump_state" title="Rump state">rump state</a>. In Skyrim, the Empire (now ruled by the Mede dynasty) is recovering from a horrific war against an elven <a href="/wiki/Separatism" title="Separatism">separatist</a> <a href="/wiki/Ethnostate" class="mw-redirect" title="Ethnostate">ethnostate</a> the Aldmeri Dominion which covers most of southwest Tamriel, and whose terms of surrender have weakened the Empire even further and ultimately led to an ongoing civil war in the province of Skyrim. Amid these mounting tensions, Tamriel has to face the return of a legendary dragon known as "the World-Eater", long after dragons were thought to have gone extinct. The Elder Scrolls Online serves as a <a href="/wiki/Prequel" title="Prequel">prequel</a> to the Third Empire storyline, taking place in the middle of a 600-year <a href="/wiki/Interregnum" title="Interregnum">interregnum</a> between the Second and Third Cyrodiilic Empires. The initial game follows the player, who has been sacrificed by followers of the Daedric prince Molag Bal, as they manage to return to the mortal plane with the help of a former Emperor masquerading as a prophet. The player must join one of the three different military alliances that are vying for control of Tamriel in the Three Banners War, but is ultimately tasked with uniting all three factions against Molag Bal's attempt to assimilate the entirety of the planet Nirn into his realm of Coldharbour. The Elder Scrolls themselves play a very limited role in the storyline of the series, usually only as a framing plot device (i.e. "[the events in this game] were foretold in the Elder Scrolls..."). The Elder Scrolls are rarely referenced in the games. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion marks the first appearance of the Scrolls in the final quest of the Thieves Guild quest-line.<a href="#cite_note-evolution-8">[7]</a> The Scroll appears as an incomprehensible chart containing luminous <a href="/wiki/Glyph" title="Glyph">glyphs</a>. Oblivion further introduces monks who dedicate their lives to the study of the scrolls.<a href="#cite_note-The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion-98">[97]</a> In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Scrolls are integrated into the series' creation myth and are portrayed as potentially causing insanity when deciphered. The Scrolls are used in the main quest to travel back in time and learn how to defeat the antagonist, an immortal dragon.<a href="#cite_note-99">[98]</a> Skyrim's Dawnguard expansion adds a quest to acquire the Scrolls to either assist or stop a vampire from blotting out the sun.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Future">Future</h3>[<a
