Radioactivelad Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Oblivion is kind of weird in this regard as a whole, because the main story and dialogue simply refers to a singular "demonic world of Oblivion", and the gates themselves being as "Gate to Oblivion" even though that would be like having a "Gate to The Solar System" that only takes you to Mars. Loading tips and books mention distinct Planes, but actual dialogue and quests would seem to imply Oblivion is just a singular Hell-analogue. (Besides the obvious Pyrite and Boethiah examples, the Sheogorath shrine visited during Whom Gods Annoy has the blood spikes so commonly seen in the deadlands ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivionaddicted Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 From a lore-friendly point of view Oblivion is a whole and the daedric lords' planes are like its continents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fiore1300 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Yeah, Oblivion is a greater whole, within which lie the plane(t)s of Oblivion. The Deadlands are, by and large, the proper name for the realm we see in Oblivion. That's Dagon's realm. The fact that Boethia and Peryite's realms look exactly the same should be chalked up to recycling assets and therefore a gameplay limitation and not reflective of actual lore. Bethesda wasn't going to develop the new assets required just for these singular quests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(starting with the Scuttling Void) https://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/50045I've been eyeing that, actually! Once my new mod build is settled and stable, I'll give it a look-see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
