Krensada Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Does anyone know if there is a name for the planet that the elder scrolls games take place on? I don't think it's Tamriel, as I think that is only a province and not even the name of the continent itself. it it vvardenfel? I really have no idea. this has been bugging me.

xxXEvandarXxx Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 It's called Nirn.What are planets? The planets are the gods and the planes of the gods, which is the same thing. That they appear as spherical heavenly bodies is a visual phenomena caused by mortal mental stress. Since each plane(t) is an infinite mass of infinite size, as yet surrounded by the Void of Oblivion, the mortal eye registers them as bubbles within a space. Planets are magical and impossible. The eight planets correspond to the Eight Divines. They are all present on the Dwarven Orrery, along with the mortal planet, Nirn. What is Nirn? Nirn (Ehnofex for 'Arena') is a finite ball of matter and magic made from all of the god planets at the beginning of time, when Lorkhan tricked/convinced/forced the gods to create the mortal plane. Nirn is the mortal plane and the mortal planet, which is the same thing. Its creation upset the cosmic balance; now all souls (especially the Aedra-Daedra/Gods-Demons) have a vested interest in Nirn (especially its starry heart, Tamriel). http://www.imperial-library.info/obscure_t...cosmology.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
