An Introduction

Hello! My name is Jacob Hirschman and this is a blog I am creating as a project for my Geography class.

This blog will observe and document some of the geographical features found in the land of Syrim, the northernmost region of the continent known as Tamriel. Skyrim is a fictional land from a game series called The Elder Scrolls.


Skyrim is an immensely detailed virtual world complete with numerous geographical features. From snowy mountaintops to steamy swamps Skyrim has it all. As seen in the image above Skyrim is also well mapped for a fictional world. This makes it very easy to plan where to find and travel to various geographical features in the game. Skyrim is laced with rivers, lakes, mountains, and also features many small villages and cities. It is similar to Europe in medieval times in terms of technology. Walking through the world of Skyrim from a geographers perspective should open my eyes to new things I would have normally missed. This is a masterpiece of a game and I hope to show some of its unique features in this blog.
