A Pocket Guide to the Empire and its Environs by Bethesda Softworks

Tamriel itself is generally divided into eight major regions: Skyrim, Cyrodiil, High Rock, the Aldmeri Dominion of the Summerset Isles and Valenwood, Hammerfell, Morrowind, and the Elsweyr Confederacy. To the south all is mystery and the whisper of a lost Elven homeland. To the east is Akavir, whose armies invaded Tamriel in the previous era.

To the west is Yokuda, the lost native land of the Redguards. To the north of Tamriel is Atmora, from whence the Men of the World came. The Empire stretches across Tamriel, the largest known continent of the World.
