There are a number of threads that concern other continents, and when I came accross this in the ES Lore Forums I thought some of us might find this useful.

5. Are there other continents apart from Tamriel?
... generally agreed that there are, or have been, five continents besides Tamriel:
Akavir - home to a wide variety of demon and beast races, many of whom have designs on Tamriel. This large continent is east of Tamriel.
Atmora - harsh and frozen homeland of Atmoran humans, the persisting ancestors of both Nords and Cyrodiils. This land lies to the north of Tamriel.
Pyandonea - home of the Maormer or Tropical Elves. This is a land far to the south of the Summurset Isles, the most southern territory of Tamriel.
Thras - domain of the Sload race. Sometimes described as 'the coral kingdoms', this land is said to have risen out of the Abecean sea between Tamriel and Yokuda. History records that this land was razed by the All Flags Navy of Tamriel, in retribution for the Thrassian Plague unleashed by Sload in 1E2200. Whether it continues to exist in the Third Era is disputed.
Yokuda - continent from which the Redguard race originated. It was somewhere west of Tamriel before the Redguard apparently destroyed most of it during the First Era, although traces of the continent still appear on maps dating from the end of the Second Era.
You can learn more about these other continents from the game books,
