Lore:Kalpa
The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
A kalpa is an epoch of time comprised of the birth, life and death of that specific period.[1] For example, the Dawn Era and its chaos is said to have been the end of a previous kalpa, and the beginning of another.[UOL 1] These segments of time are sometimes subject to interruptions called Dragon Breaks.
Notes[edit]
- The Nords and Dragons believe that the current kalpa is a byproduct of its predecessor's destruction at the hands of Alduin the World-Eater.[2]
- It is said that the "half-Elf" Umaril's divine father hailed from the previous kalpa.[3]
