Imperials can be differentiated from Bretons and Nords by their fair to swarthy skin, as opposed to the typically fairer complexion of Bretons and Nords. It has served as the seat of power for several major empires, such as the Alessian Empire, the Reman Empire, and the Septim Empire, and as such is commonly known as simply, 'The Imperial Province.' It is home to the Imperial City where the Emperor and his Elder Council live and rule. Main article: CyrodiilĬyrodiil is the cosmopolitan heartland of Tamriel.
