</noinclude>{{Lore Link|Pyandonea}} is an island-continent located to the far southwest of [[Lore:Tamriel|Tamriel]] which is home to the elusive {{Lore Link|Maormer}}, who had been exiled there by the ancient {{Lore Link|Aldmer}} during the days of {{Lore Link|Aldmeris}}.{{ref|name=PGE3Other|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Other Lands}}}}{{Ref|name=SWLoading|[[Online:Loading Screens|Loading Screen]] in Stormwarden Undercroft}} The island is covered mostly in dense rain forests which provides a habitat for the southern water spirits.

However, this mist would not keep them from targeting Summerset and southwestern Tamriel.{{ref|name=PGE3Other}}<noinclude>
==History==
In the Middle {{Lore Link|Merethic Era}}, an {{Lore Link|Altmer}}i exploratory ship, the Pasquiniel, set sail south from the {{Lore Link|Summerset Isle}} in the direction of Pyandonea. It was never heard from again, and it's popularly assumed that they were lost at sea or died at the hands of the Pyandoneans.{{ref|name=FOTN|{{Cite book|Father Of The Niben}}}} At one point, Pyandonea may have become allied with the {{Lore Link|Aldmeri Dominion}},{{ref|name=PGE1Ald|{{Cite book|PGE|1|Aldmeri Dominion}}}} though they'd made countless attempts to invade the Summerset Isle throughout the course of history. For almost every year of the {{Lore Link|First Era|First}} and {{Lore Link|Second Era|Second}} eras, Pyandonean forces led by King Orgnum harassed the coastlines of Summerset.{{ref|name=PGE3Other}}{{ref|name=PGE3Sum|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Summerset}}}} They were known to have pushed further north, as well, and harassed the coastline of {{Lore Link|Valenwood}} during the {{Lore Link|Interregnum}}.{{ref|name=PGE3V|{{Cite book|PGE|3|Valenwood}}}}
In {{Year|2E 582}}, the {{Lore Link|Green Lady}} {{Lore Link|Finoriell}} swam to Pyandonea, seeking vengeance for the murder of {{Lore Link|the Silvenar}} {{Lore Link|Edhelorn}} on {{Lore Link|Khanerthi's Roost}}. She killed the Maormer indiscriminately until she was spent. As she lay dying atop the highest sea-tower, the Sea Elves' greatest warrior came to claim her head as a trophy. Instead, she grabbed him and threw herself to the waves far below.{{ref|[[Online:Finoriell|Finoriell]]'s dialogue}}
One of the only glimpses into the actual landscape of Pyandonea came in {{Year|2E 486}}, when a small Maormeri fleet was sighted off the coast of {{Lore Link|Alinor (city)|Alinor}} and King {{Lore Link|Hidellith}} ordered his navy to give chase. The navy followed the ships through uncharted waters and were ambushed at Pyandonea itself. Most of the fleet was destroyed, but a single warship returned to Summerset. They described Pyandonea as a "sea jungle" barraged by mist storms. Massive plateaus spill over with vegetation which form mazes around valleys of ocean. Waving tendrils of kelp trap all but the Maormer's own ships, and provide a well-camouflaged home for the sea serpents that are Orgnum's guards and occasional mounts.{{ref|name=PGE3Other}}
The last contact with the continent was in {{Year|3E 110}} during the [[Lore:War_of_the_Isle|War of the Isle]], when the Altmer, with the help of the {{Lore Link|Imperial Navy}} and the {{Lore Link|Psijic Order}}, eventually vanquished a Pyandonean armada.{{ref|name=PGE3Other}}{{ref|name=PGE3Sum}}{{ref|name=FOA|{{Cite book|Fragment: On Artaeum}}}}{{ref|name=TWG5|{{Cite book|The Wolf Queen, v5}}}} Legend credits the Psijics with creating a freak storm that decimated the Pyandonean fleet.{{ref|name=BHOTE1|{{Cite book|Brief History of the Empire v 1}}}}
The historical fiction ''{{Lore Link|The Wolf Queen, v4}}'' gives some details of unknown veracity on Pyandonea. The Pyandoneans have insect-like ships made with membranous sails and chitinous hulls, somewhat similar to some ships in [[Lore:Morrowind|Morrowind]]. The text also suggests that it was [[Lore:Potema|Queen Potema's]] machinations which led to the intervention of the Psijic Order during the War of the Isles.

* On a globe sprite from [[Daggerfall:Daggerfall|''TES II: Daggerfall'']], an unknown continent can be seen. This is popularly assumed to be Pyandonea.
