Skyrim and Fallout; Bridging the Gap between Earth and Nirn

I'm just really starting to work through the details, but Fallout's Earth and Skyrim's Nirn being the same planet might be more possible than you think.


It's rough, early speculation, but I can even account for the second moon being present in Skyrim. Involves a debunked real-life conspiracy theory, but all things considered, it'd the beginning of working out the plot holes.




I'm sure a lot of us have tripped over this at some point, but the short version of the theory is that right now, there's a planet on a massive elliptical orbit with our sun that only passes through the solar system every 3600 years or so. This planet (often referred to as either Niburu or Planet X) is also said to be the possible home world of the Anunnaki, an alien race with connections to Earth and humanity dating back as far as ancient Egypt. In addition, theorists claimed that when Planet X did finally arrive, it could potentially wreak such havok on gravitational fields that the Earth's poles would shift, effectively turning the Earth on it's head.


I know, I know, but bear with me. I found this quote on a TES lore site;


"While regarded by various cultures as an attendant spirit of their god planet, minor god, or foreign god, Masser is not displayed within Dwemer orreries, neither does it hold a position within the pantheon of Imperial gods." ~ uesp.net, cited from ESO


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orrery or·rer·y noun - a mechanical model of the solar system, or of just the sun, earth, and moon, used to represent their relative positions and motions.


Masser wasn't on Dwemer solar system models. They didn't know it existed because it hadn't arrived yet.


Given, I've only been mulling over this for little more than a day, but right now, here's the short of what could be possible.


Masser is Niburu, stabilized in Earth orbit via technological means for whatever reason. Would account for it's presence in Skyrim and the drastic difference between the surfaces of the Earth and Nirn. Could also be why Vault Tech was so invested in carrying out such complex psychological experiments in preparation to leave the planet. They might have known it was coming.


Anunnaki are Skyrim's Daedra and assorted god-like figures.


Racial Diversity in Skyrim = Cross breeding / Fallout-era experiments


Imperials = Direct descendants of genetically sound vault dwellers.


Dwemer = Descendants of either Brotherhood of Steel or advanced Institute synth gens. Both are viable.


The folding of Nirn = Pole Shift


Deathclaws = Pre-wing Mutation Dragons. Higher brain function was achieved in a group of deathclaws via the Enclave, although they were all but wiped out. Can't remember, but I think one may have survived. Regardless, wouldn't be a stretch to account for their presence this way.


...and so on.



But really, who knows for sure. Just a thought.

There is no way there is an actual connection between the two series. Maybe in some FanFiction, but there is no way the developers intended for these two franchises to commingle. You must remember that TES and the Fallout series were created by different people. The original Fallout games had nothing to do with Bethesda Games Studios, so the lore being connected doesn't even make any sense. Not trying to be mean, but you have to face the facts here. If you really sit down and give it some thought, you'll realize there is no way that they could be connected.

Please, don't misunderstand. I'm not saying I want this in any way. I have absolutely zero interest in either creating or using a mod that makes this possible. All I'm saying is that it at first glance, it looks like both games are subtly being guided in this direction in small ways, like how in TES lore, it's said that you have to drink sap to commune with Hist and in FO3, you do exactly the same thing before talking to Harold at Oasis.

I don't like the concept of combining the two, but that doesn't mean it's not worth talking about at the very least, if not just to put the theory to bed for good.
