Welcome to Geology in Skyrim! Between Elder Scrolls Online, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, there are a lot of really cool clues about what lies beneath Tamriel, and how it shaped the landscape. TESV - featuring the most accurate earth science of any TES game - features clues about how we can date the landscape, ores, and even tell a story with how simple things like ebony are placed.
