they made a different continent Akavir the ‘east asian fantasy tropes’ place but i don’t recall whether they have humanoid people or just snake people.
but also the Imperial Empire in the setting is in my head-canon the basically the chinese empire, so clearly ‘imperials’ should be chinese with roman names. it makes perfect sense. i actually replaced all the imperial military with ming dynasty soldiers in the elder scrolls total war mod lol
Akavir has dragons (including a tiger dragon, Tosh Raka), snow demons (Kamal), tiger-like cat folk (Ka Po’ Tun), monkey people (Tang Mo), snake people (Tsaesci), and then there are unconfirmed rumors of rat people and dog people.
The Tsaesci were awesome snake people in the in-game book 2920: Last Year of the First Era, but then Oblivion decided they were just regular humanoids. Very lame.
It’s debatable whether or not there are humans in Akavir, Mysterious Akavir says the Tsaesci consumed them but humans are present on Alduin’s wall and in an excerpt from a journal written during the Akaviri invasion of Tamriel. Both of which are supposed to have been created after the alleged consuming.

I always thought that was an ingame satire of orientalism tbh
That makes sense.
It’s the only source of any info about the Tsaesci that’s not just, like: they look like snakes and invaded Tamriel a couple of times.
So ironically, it does the same thing IRL orientalist art did to misinform westerner scholars about the “East”.
