Map of Tamriel (Daggerfall)

The Yrinthi River is seemingly a major waterway, accessible by ship from the ports of the Imperial City in the heartland of Tamriel. It flows westward across the continent before eventually emptying into the Bjoulsae River. Riding across the entire river from start to end takes a number of weeks.

History

By 3E 405, the Yrinthi River was notoriously infested with pirates, as was the Bjoulsae River and the Iliac Bay; highly decorated ships needed to be well-defended in order to complete a safe voyage. On mission to the Kingdom of Daggerfall, The Agent took a small fishing craft from the Imperial Province across the Yrinthi and into the Bjoulsae to reach their destination.

Notes

• The Yrinthi River has never appeared physically in the games or on any official maps of Tamriel.
• The Cyrodiil passage of the Pocket Guide to the Empire: 1st Edition refers to rivers in Cyrodiil connecting the Imperial City by trade to inland ports located in Skyrim and Elsweyr, indicating that a river flowing from Cyrodiil into northern Tamriel exists.
