Some suggestions here?




Runcibae, possibly Valenwood? a "mainland village" east of Artaeum (Fragment: On Artaeum)

Glenumbria Moors, possibly Skyrim? site of an Alessian defeat 1E 500 (Five Songs of King Wulfharth)

Ylliolos, not a clue - from a "someone of somewhere" name (Ice and Chiton)

Nerone, Skyrim - an isthmus, possibly what Solitude sits on, has a ruined keep across from Gorvigh Ridge [I'm guessing here, because between Nerone and Gorvigh is a bay, and that's the only place in Skyrim that looks remotely like a bay] (Ice and Chiton)

Glenmoril, possibly High Rock? (Brief History of the Empire v 1)

Zelinin, possibly Valenwood or Elsweyr [I'd guess Elsweyr, probably along the border either way], site of a battle (Cherim's Heart of Anequina)

Vounoura, island where Morag Tongers go when they get too famous (2920, Evening Star)

"Uriel V conquered Roscrea in 271, Cathnoquey in 276, Yneslea in 279, and Esroniet in 284. In 3E288, he embarked on his most ambitious enterprise, the invasion of the continent kingdom of Akavir. This ultimately proved a failure, for two years later Uriel V was killed in Akavir on the battlefield of Ionith" [I guess all that can be said for sure about those first four is that they're not in Akavir] (Brief History of the Empire v 3)

Earl,

Artaeum is an island off the mainland of Summerset Isle, so that is where Runcibae would be located.

Glenumbria Moors is near the town of Glenpoint, in High Rock. Glenmoril is either in the same area, or another name for the town.

So Summurset is considered part of the mainland?
When I read it, I figured "Well duh. Everything in Summurset is east of the mainland."
Of course, Summurset did acquire those islands south of Valenwood. . . so not quite everything.

I think Ylliolos is a high rock village or a nord village, not sure where though. It's definitely not an Imperial, Khajiit or Argonian town, It doesnt sound like Elvish to me, and I have no clue about orcs.

And I also think Zelinin(rhymes an awful lot with Melanin, dont it?) is on the fringes of Elswyr.

Can one anyone tell me where the isle of Artaeum actually is in relation to the rest of Summerset, like put a little arrow on the map from arena so I know the general location?

I think we need to figure out where these two places are as well, especially Ald Olyra since it is in Morrowind. I don't think it has been done yet.

Ald Olyra - "black caravan making its way to the spires of the secluded castle" - "The place is called Ald Olyra," she explained. "It dates back to the second era when a collection of nobles built it to protect themselves during one of the epidemics. They didn't want any of the diseased masses to get into their midst and spread the plague, so they built up quite a sophisticated security system for the time. Of course, it's mostly fallen into ruin, but I have a good idea about what kind of locks and traps might still be operational." - Surfeit of Thieves

This place is in Morrowind, and is visited by Vampires of Clan Aundae("Order of St Eadnua" backwards). There is a very good discription of the castle, and it would be a shame to not add it IMO.

Cascabel Hall - Somewhere in Skyrim

"A vast arbor of golden apples stretched acre after acre near the castle walls. The sunlight cast a seductive gleam on the fruit, and the cruel wind carried sweet smells into Cascabel to torture him." - The Rear-Guard

It is near the Summerset Ilse that is the only thing for sure. It can "vanish" from time to time as well, and perhaps even appear in a different location I am not sure, but I don't think it's location is well known, probably on purpose.

well, ald mar is kind of a castle. We could easily rename ald mar to ald oryla.
