I spent long enough fiddling with the berg tier colors, so I'm not gonna try to make it darker and spookier. It's light green. DWI.
The image had 12 tiers... I only played a couple TES games... If you wonder why some phrases are bleeped, it's to avoid trouble.

Explanations:
Most Icebergs have red herring / joke entries included with real stuff.
"Barbed Penises" cuz catfolk. BTW, what if the Khajit and Argonians have a connection with "Lyran" ("catfolk people aliens"), and Argonians with "space reptilian humanoid shapeshifters"? Continuing that line of thought, then Nords would be equivalent to "nordic aliens", Redguard are Moorish - Arabic influence, and the Akaviri were a para-Japanese-ish culture said to be extinct in lore. Dwarves are also said to be extinct in lore. The Imperials are Roman, and the Bretons are Franco-Anglo.
TES Orcs are people characters, not mindless chaotic-evil enemies. They had an ancient city called "Orcinium", that kept being destroyed and rebuilt. In the games, they have stronghold villages.
IIRC, "Zero Summing" is when a TES character realizes they're a video game character in a made up fantasy setting. The lore gets very meta, and something about it being framed as the elaborate, long-running dream of a giant diety. When a character "realizes they're fictional", they "zero sum" and delete themselves from their reality, or perhaps they ascend and leave that plane, IDK.
Soul Gems are pink crystals that fill up with souls of various sizes. More powerful beings have bigger souls. Weak beings have petty souls. People characters have "black souls", that can fit into a Black Soul Gem, or a Grand Pink Soul Gem. Other medias feature souls / entities / whole people being trapped inside crystals.
There's a Memory Stone in the Mother / Earthbound Series.
"Suicidal Troll" probably refers to the joke dead troll with a note, floating in the waters in TES4 Oblivion, which takes place in Cyradil. He was "a lousy troll" and couldn't get anyone to pay his troll toll, or something. Maybe I should make an IASIP 'berg if I find one to rip off from.
Nirn is the world the games take place in. Tamriel is a continent. Skyrim, Cyradil, Elsewyr, Black Marsh, Daggerfell, Hammerfall, etc. are countries.
Jungled Cyrodil: in early development for TES4, or before then, Cyradil was said to be "a jungle environment", and the Wood Elves are said to come from jungles and be related to the Khajit. But in the final TES4, Cyradil was a standard European environment, not a jungle. How many fantasy genre games need to be in European / Northern North American environments?? They should have gone with the Jungle, it'd be unique and not ultra-generic.
