Now I personally don't like playing as khajiit or argonians very much, and people always say that you cant just add another race in for no reason, and that all of the races from akavir hate Tamriel. WELL. From the very brief description from uesp (and i could be COMPLETELY wrong, but uesp has never failed me before), http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Tang_Mo , i see no reason why the tang mo couldn't be implemented. From what I've read on uesp, they are relativley peaceful and kind monkey people, but are still good warriors. Now, im no modder, but im sure that when the creation kit is released, it wouldn't be hard to add this in, surely? in my mind they could look something like wukong from league of legends, and maybe shorter than most of the other races in Tamriel.

Akavir is for Tamriel what China was for medieval Europe, just that there is an ocean between them and humans aren't just considered barbarians in Akavir, they are livestock.

There was an Tsaesci Invasion in the first era, and there was a couple of Tsaesci and at least one Dragon as mercenaries in Tiber Septim's army, but other than the Tsaesci there weren't many visitors from Akavir. In that setting you don't make such a journey alone.

If you want monkey people based on then go for http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Imga (or play a hairy nord.)
