Padomaic Leaders, by Feivelyn
From Left to Right: The King of Yneslea, the Prince of Esroniet and the Governor of Cathnoquey.
The Esri and Ynesai, each with a long, proud and storied history, claim descent from the Men of Akavir (AKA the original tsaesci) who fled the onslaught of the snakemen that drove them from their own continent. Their monarchs are represented here. The Keptu-Quey and Chimeri-Quey are far more aloof about their history, though their names lend clear credence to a tamrielic origin, and possess no unifying figurehead among them. The Governor of Cathnoquey is an Imperial Official of Cyrodiilic birth, charged with overseeing both the Empire’s financial interests and its relations with the local peoples- A task made more difficult by the brute excesses of Uriel V’s invasion, which still looms large over the Isles even centuries later.
The Padomaic Isles are the unjustly subjugated colonies of an Empire in terminal decay. While the Quey peoples as of yet seem to accept the Empire’s rule, the Yneslean Isles remain only loosely under its control, and the Prince of Esroniet has all but subverted its authority, forcing its institutions to heel in the absence of strong oversight from Cyrodiil.
Padomaic Isles is a project under the umbrella of Project Tamriel and Tamriel Rebuilt which aims to implement the eastern island nations of Nirn to the Elder Scrolls 3: Morrowind. Cathnoquey in its entirety will be the project’s first release.
