This is the lowest level-of-detail dataset of the Tamriel terrain from
Skyrim, extracted, converted, slope-textured, and posted.
Iffy on the colour scheme for the elevations, but overall it looks
pretty good. Did another that uses a gradient to generate a topographic
map, but I either need to use a higher level-of-detail set or go over it
and draw it by hand. Or both.
[insert arrow-in-the-knee joke here]

I think it looks good, Tim. I especially like the rivers and lakes. One
of the islands about 2 o'clock looks like a straight line, though.
Is that the arrow you are talking about?

Hmm. Looks like an artifact of the low-quality mesh. Would have to
compare with the higher-resolution data.

"I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took an arrow in the
knee" is an oft-repeated line by town guards in Skyrim, which has become
an unfortunate overused punchline on the internet.

Oh! real data. Where is the island to the north that shows up when you
google it?

*blinks, peers at the other maps available of Tamriel*
...Huh. Looks like the folks at Bethesda kind of forgot to include it.
I think that island's from one of the expansions for Morrowind?
Interestingly, part (but not all) of the seafloor does have data rather
than just being nothingness.

Further interestingness; the terrain data that's in Skyrim is quite
noticably distorted from the maps derived from the previous games.
Deliberate, indicating passage of time and geological upheaval,
inaccurate mapmaking on the part of residents of Tamriel, or accident or
sloppiness on the part of the developers? Hmm...

Or time and space warp? :-)
Maybe like Tir-na Nog'th it is only visible at certain times of the moon.

Or different projection/mapping of the world, maybe due to a change in
the engine.
You said "distorted", but did they put a cascade where previously there
would have been a plain ? (in term of adjacency, not coordinates, If
previously a house was on top of hill near a forest, is that forest
still around or has the house been replaced by a gigantic snail of stone ?
