Atmora is a fictional continent in the The Elder Scrolls universe. In the Elvish tongue Atmora means means "Elder Wood". Recent Imperial Cartographer studies show that Atmora is a frozen, unlivable place.

Atmora was once warmer but the continent was still a icy place, populated by the Nedes, which were organised into clans and fought in civil wars for hundreds of years. More than 4000 years ago, a man named Ysgramor was exiled towards the distant continent of Tamriel. He founded the capital city of Saarthal, which was soon razed by the Snow Elves, or Falmer. Ysgramor then returned to Atmora with his two sons, and raised an army of 500 Nedic warriors, to take revenge against the Snow Elves, which almost became extinct. Ysgramor founded Skyrim, the first human kingdom of Tamriel.

Most Nedes moved to Skyrim, altough a small group stayed. Skyrim and Atmora were seemingly on bad terms, since Atmora plagued north Skyrim with raids though most of the first era. The last Nede 'raid' (late in the 1E) was two ships, filled with the dead. The Nedes on the ships not dead surended, and were either killed or inbred with the Nords. This is also the last record of the live Nedes.
