Skyrim was developed using the Creation Engine, rebuilt specifically for the game. The game continues the open-world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game is set 200 years after the events of Oblivion and takes place in Skyrim, the northernmost province of Tamriel. The game's main story revolves around the player's character, the Dragonborn, on their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. It is the fifth main installment in the Elder Scrolls series, following 2006's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and was released worldwide for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011.

And now, respected reader, you have the full measure of it. Chief among them are Solitude, seat of the High King and capital of the province Windhelm, ancient and honored, a jewel in the snow Markarth, carved into the living rock itself, in ages long since past Riften, nestled in the golden shadows of the Fall Forest, whence comes delicious fish and mead and Whiterun, built around the hall of Jorrvaskr, home of the most noble Companions and revered Skyforge. The cities of Skyrim are a testament to Nord ingenuity and craftsmanship. But how can this be true, you ask? How are such achievements possible from a people who have yet to emerge from the muck and snow? Again, provincial bias clouds the truth. Indeed, I have seen with mine own eyes, visitors from High Rock and Cyrodiil weep in disbelief as they beheld the blades wrought in the fires of the Skyforge, and honed to beautiful deadliness by the gods-touched hands of Clan Gray-Mane. For we are artisans as well, and through the ages have learned to manipulate steel the way a sculptor would clay. But the accomplishments of the children of Skyrim are multitude, and go beyond mere wordcraft. My father began my instruction in the way of letters when I was but a bairn, as did his father, and his father before him. Having read this far, you may be shocked at the strength of my words, and the literacy of a northern savage. Often we are swathed in the hides of beasts, for such creatures are abundant in Skyrim, and we would be foolish not to take advantage of such an available resource. Our hair is often fair, and worn braided, as has been the custom for generations. Physically, we Nords are an impressive, often imposing sight-tall of stature, strong of bone, and thick of muscle.

Some of what you know is undoubtedly true. I write this volume in the desperate hope that the rest of Tamriel can come to know my people as they deserve to be known, and understand this province for what it truly is-a place of uncontested beauty and culture. But, more importantly, I am a Nord born and raised in the land of Skyrim. My name is Hrothmund Wolf-Heart, and I am a Nord. My People, My Pride By Hrothmund Wolf-Heart Respected reader. Contained within Shalidor's Library, these books are part of the subcollection Stonefalls Lore Nords of Skyrim is a Book in Elder Scrolls Online.
