THE ELDER SCROLLS RACES + LOCATIONS ↳ Kamal of Akavir
Akavir, also known as Dragon Land, is a continental landmass east of Tamriel. The two continents have a history of animosity towards each other, with Akavir invading Tamriel several times in the past and Tamriel invading Akavir at least once. There are four major nations on Akavir, each with its own race. The Kamal are a race of snow demons who live in Akavir. The word Kamal means "Snow Hell". They are said to resemble giants made of snow with huge ice crystals bulging out of their backs. The snow demons spend the winter frozen solid, but when summer comes, they thaw out and attack the Tang Mo, always unsuccessfully. In the mid Second Era, they nearly invaded all of northern Tamriel. Their king led a huge naval assault which landed just by the White River. The city of Windhelm quickly fell to the invaders, but they were fought off as a result of the formation of the Ebonheart Pact.
