Cyrodiil, also known as the Imperial Province, Dragon Empire, Starry Heart of Nirn, and Seat of Sundered Kings, and Cyrod in Ayleidoon, is a province in south-central Tamriel that is home to the human race known as Imperials. The center of their empire and seat of governance, Cyrodiil is also known as "the Heartland". The capital of both Cyrodiil and the empire, the Imperial City, is located on City Isle in the center of the province; at the heart of the city is White Gold Tower, possibly the most renowned monument in Tamriel. Despite some accounts describing Cyrodiil as a jungle, it has a primarily temperate climate. One scholar of the middle Second Era attributed this discrepancy to errors made during the transcription of historical texts, while another speculated that White Gold Tower itself gradually adapted the climate to suit the region's inhabitants. Later sources asserted that Emperor Tiber Septim altered Cyrodiil's climate after he united all the provinces under his rule.
