Akavir has influenced Tamriel for countless centuries, both in times of peace and war, as the two continents have always had a tumultuous relationship. Though Akavir may sound too bestial to take notice of at first glance, it was an important figure and influence on Tamriel's history. The latest contact with Akavir was attempted by the Nerevarine, who supposively launched a trip to Akavir after defeating Dagoth Ur.
It was believed that humans lived in Akavir at one time but were eventually 'eaten' by the Tsaesci, who have themselves launched several attacks upon Tamriel in past ages. Little else is known about the continent or the people of Akavir, as few Tamrielic peoples have ever dared to cross the vast ocean that separated it from Tamriel. It is the homeland of four seemingly unrelated races collectively referred to as the 'Akaviri,' which is composed of the Snow Demons of Kamal, the serpent-men of Tsaesci, the Monkey People of Tang Mo, and the Tiger Dragons of Ka'Po'Tun.
Akavir (Aldmeris/Ehlnofex and Tsaesci: 'Dragon Land') or Dovahnor (Dovahzul: Dovah-Nor, 'Dragon-Land') is a continent lying to the east of Tamriel.
