Lore:Tamrilean Tractates

The Tamrilean Tractates is an ancient and historic record written by an author named Khosey in 1E 200, though events that occurred after its writing were added to its record. It dates back to the early First Era and it provides early accounts of human history in Tamriel and information regarding Cyrodiil's geography and environment.

These documents are often referenced by scholars after many years of its creation, but the extent and the full content of the book are currently unknown. However, based on the scattered information regarding the Tamrilean Tractates, it mostly covers the information contemporary with the book, such as the Alessian Slave Rebellion, and the northern conquests of the First Empire of the Nords. The book is famously credited for providing a firsthand account of the early Bretons, as well as miscellaneous information, such as early accounts of the Troll and the jungles of Cyrodiil.
