The original home of Men in Tamriel, Skyrim is located in the frigid north of Tamriel, between Morrowind and High Rock, and is the home of the oldest race of men, the Nords. Following its destruction in the early-Fourth Era, Orsinium was rebuilt in the mountains between Skyrim and Hammerfell, as opposed to the Wrothgarian Mountains in High Rock. This is fitting as Orsinium is no stranger to conflict and bloodshed: this is exemplified in the ancient conflict which resulted in Orsinium's 'birth' and the ascension of the Orsimer's king Gortwog gro-Nagorm in the Third Era who rediscovered the ancient location and reclaimed it for the Orcs of Tamriel.

Its geography, however, make it a place easy to defend against skirmishes and invading armies. A difficult environment to thrive in as much of the landscape lies above the tree line, there are few abundant resources aside from rock and metals that require mining. The home of Orsimer, more commonly called 'Orcs,' officially a territory or city-province and not currently recognized as an independent nation and therefore not shown on any modern official map, encompasses a small area in the Wrothgarian Mountains and Dragontail Mountains within the province of High Rock.
