In 4E 22 the {{Lore Link|Thalmor}} seized power and renamed the province after its capital, {{Lore Link|Alinor (city)|Alinor}}, though many outside the province still refer to it as Summerset. The current inhabitants of the province are the {{Lore Link|Altmer}}, though [[Lore:Goblin|goblins]]were there when the elves first arrived.{{ref|name=ONToothmaul|[[Online:Toothmaul Gully|Toothmaul Gully]] [[Online:Loading Screens|loading screen]]}} It is believed that the first inhabitants were the {{Lore Link|Sload}} before they were driven away by the {{Lore Link|Aldmer}}, whom the Altmer claim to be directly descended from.{{ref|name=PGE3S|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Summerset}}}}{{Nst|LO=|<br><br>For more historical information, see the [[Lore:Summerset Isles|lore article]].}}<noinclude> ==History==Summerset Isle was the last nation in Tamriel to be brought into the [[Lore:Third Empire|Third Empire]] during the [[Lore:Tiber Wars|Tiber Wars]]. In {{Year|2E 896}}, [[Lore:Tiber Septim|Tiber Septim]] wielded the [[Lore:Numidium|Numidium]] against the capital city of [[Lore:Alinor (city)|Alinor]], forcing the city's surrender within minutes. Summerset Isle was then absorbed as a province of the Empire. During the [[Lore:Oblivion Crisis|Oblivion Crisis]], Summerset Isle was beset by [[Lore:Daedra|daedra]]. The [[CategoryLore:Crystal Tower|Crystal Tower]] was toppled by the daedra hordes. The [[Lore:Thalmor|Thalmor]], once a minority voice, were given greater power and authority in order to deal with the crisis. They were successful and came to be seen as the saviors of Summerset Isle.{{ref|name=RT2|{{Cite book|Rising Threat, Vol. II}}}}{{ref|name=TGW|{{Cite book|The Great War (book)}}}} In {{Year|4E 22}}, the Thalmor took control of the Summerset Isles and renamed them Alinor.{{ref|name=TGW}} Valenwood was brought under the Thalmor's control in 4E 29, recreating the Aldmeri Dominion. Later, the former Confederacy of {{LoreLink|Elsweyr}} joined the Dominion as two separate client states.{{NewLeft}} ==Geography==Little of the geography of the Summerset Isles is known. Cloudrest, atop Eton Nir, the highest mountain in Summerset, is an odd mixture of architectural styles, with buildings like strangler vines, built on top of older structures. The oldest, and most isolated, of all ruins there are made of coral, which must have been carried many, many, miles away from the sea.{{ref|name=PGE3S}} This highly suggests original occupation by the [[Lore:Sload|Sload]]. ===Islands===;{{Lore Link|Summerset Isle}}: The largest island of the Summerset archipelago.;{{Lore Link|Auridon}}: The second-largest island, located closest to mainland Tamriel.;{{Lore Link|Artaeum}}: The island sanctuary of the Psijic Order, with a tendency to regularly vanish. ;{{Lore Link|Eyevea}}: An island north of Summerset, owned by Arch-Mage {{Lore Link|Shalidor}}.;{{Lore Link|Silatar}}: A small island, raised from the seabed by magic. ==Politics==The Isles are divided into different Social Classes. The Wise are teachers and priests, then come Artists, Princes, Warriors, Landowners, Merchants, and Workers. At the bottom are the beasts such as the tamed [[Lore:Goblin|goblins]], which are enslaved.{{ref|name=PGE3S}} All is not well in the Isles, however, as the Sload constantly use their necromantic powers to attack the Isles, such as in the Sack of Skywatch in {{Year|1E 1301}} and the War of the Uvichil from {{Year|1E 2911}} to {{Year|1E 2917}}.{{ref|name=PGE3S}} ==Notable Places==;[[Lore:Alinor (city)|Alinor]]: The capital of the Summerset Isles. It is located on the western shore.;[[Lore:Cloudrest|Cloudrest]]: A city on the north-central area of the largest Isle.;[[Lore:Crystal Tower|Crystal Tower]]: Also known as Crystal-Like-Law, this structure is of symbolic importance to the Altmer just as White Gold was for the Ayleids.;[[Lore:Dusk|Dusk]]: A city on the southeastern shore of the largest Isle.;[[Lore:Eton Nir|Eton Nir]]: The tallest mountain in Summerset Isles, and is the site of some of the Isles' most amazing architecture. It is located in the north-central area of the largest Isle.;[[Lore:Firsthold|Firsthold]]: A city on the northern area of the second largest Isle.;[[Lore:Lillandril|Lillandril]]: A city on the northwestern shore of the largest Isle.;[[Lore:Shimmerene|Shimmerene]]: A city on the eastern-central area of the largest Isle.;[[Lore:Skywatch|Skywatch]]: A city near the center of the second largest Isle.;[[CategoryLore:Sunhold|Sunhold]]: A city in the south-southwestern area of the largest Isle.;[[Lore:Vulkhel Guard|Vulkhel Guard]]: A port city on the southern tip of the second largest Isle. ==Notes==*The different spellings of [[:Image:Arena-All TermsMap.jpg|Summerset Isle]] are found on the [[Arena:Arena|Arena]] map (also seen in [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|Daggerfall]]) and [[:Image:Tam-Maps-West Tamriel.jpg|Sumurset Isle]] on the [[Redguard:Redguard|Redguard]] map. *During the game of [[Oblivion:Oblivion|Oblivion]] you may overhear NPCs talking about trouble in Summerset Isle, quoting ''"I understand [[Lore:Daedric Princes|Daedra]] worship has become increasingly prevalent in the Summerset Isle."'' ''"They say syndicates of wizards have led a boycott of [[Lore:Imperial|Imperial]]goods in the land of the Altmer."'' and ''"The Altmer have powerful wizards. It could become a dangerous situation."'' ==See Also=====Books===* {{Book Link|Father Of The Niben}}* {{Book Link|Feyfolken}}* {{Book Link|Fragment: On Artaeum}}* {{Book Link|Galerion the Mystic}}* {{Book Link|Origin of the Mages Guild}}* {{Book Link|Pocket Guide to the Empire, 1st Edition/Aldmeri Dominion}}* {{Book Link|Pocket Guide to the Empire, 3rd Edition/Summerset}}* {{Book Link|Rising Threat}} ==References==<references/> {{Provinces}}</noinclude>
