The Heartlands

The Heartlands (also known as the Valley Heartland)[1] is a lowland area in Cyrodiil consisting of the central areas of the province at the northern end of the River Niben. The Red Ring Road forms the border on most sides, beyond which the region merges into the greater Nibenay Basin towards Cheydinhal in the east, and the greater Nibenay Valley along the River Niben to Niben Bay in the south. On its western and northern sides, the region is bordered by the Great Forest.

[2][3]

The region is dominated by Lake Rumare and City Isle, on which stands the Imperial City.[4]

Society and Geography[edit]

Demographics[edit]

The local Imperials are known as Heartlanders, an apt name for the sub-section of Nibenese that live in and around the Imperial City.

  • Imperial Heartlanders/Nibenese[5][3]
  • Cosmopolitan[6]
  • Ayleids, Heartland High Elves[7][8][9][10]/Pre-Imperial Heartland[11]/Ayleid Empire

Before it was taken over by the Imperials, the White-Gold Tower was the seat of the Ayleid Empire, and surrounding it were several city-states that have long since been abandoned. These settlements include Fanacasecul on Lake Rumare, and outer territories like Belda more inland and Culotte on the Upper Niben.[2] Some of them hold dark, ancient secrets and history, like Sercen's "gut-gardens"[7] and Nagastani, which supposedly held some kind of ancient evil power that has since left the land around it dead.[12]

  • Cyrodilic Bird people[13]
