It seems like Nirn is disproportionately ocean. Wouldn't the world ocean create a globally tropical climate like that of Pangaea, rendering glaciation in skyrim's north impossible? Also, if tamriel is so large, then wouldn't the mountains around cyrodiil create a rain shadow and cyrodiil would become a vast interior desert? Unless the Nibenay channel was level with the tides of course. Even then, the middle east is arid in spite of it's number of seaways. Especially considering the imperial city is at a comparable latitude to the Mediterranean.

>>469 >It seems like Nirn is disproportionately ocean Yeah, it is. Consider also that there's no water god in the whole pantheon. He's simply missing. From lore machinations of MK and Trainwiz, after some fanwanking we've discovered that Ocean themselves are Memory. This means we've patched a big plot hole with crazy lore and it's up in the air as to how it'll be explained in detail in the future.
As for other things you said, I've got no fucking clue. Keep in mind that beth aren't science fetchers and we can create a cop out by saying it's fantasy.
Trainwiz 09/24/14 (Wed) 05:53:02 No. 501
>>499 Technically that's from TESO. If you take that as canon, then the ocean gods are Sotha Sil and Hermaeus Mora, the two people most readily associated with memories.

>>469 >>499 Your observations are valid but I am going to be the fetcher that says
>it's fantasy In TES planets are planes and laws of physics just do not exist
Planes are warped bubbled of space in Aetherius or Mundus or Oblivion or whatever (which are all larger planes in Aurbis too)
Laws of Physics exist because some very strong Ada forces something to act that way
For example on Nirn and Mundus in general laws of physics and natural order exists because Ehlnofey the Earthbones stabilized themselves into the realm itself and became The Laws. Y'ffre is the reason why forests and fauna in general exists, some other ehlnofey is responsible for gravity etc. Everything you see on Nirn is aspect of some spirit that is sewed into fabric of a plane
In case of Daedric Realms or any singular realms Princes themselves act as one giant Earth Bone and dictate everything, like Malacath who wants his realm to be a giant floating ash pile probably representing his grief over Trinimac.

>>2315 This is a reference to this old abandoned idea for an ARG. I can't remember the exact source.
Basically, the gimmick was that Bethesda Softworks had three Elder Scrolls in their basement, and they used them to glimpse into the world of Tamriel. One of them was broken, which IIRC symbolized how they can't depict Tamriel 100% accurately. There will always be the occasional transcription error, so to say.

An expedition ship once found Atmora, but it was completely frozen and lifeless by then.
People don't go to Lyg. Sometimes, Lyg comes to people, and that's when shit gets really bad. It's bled into Tamriel a few times, but those incursions were successfully fended off.

Akaveeaboo 11/29/14 (Sat) 12:18:11 No. 3549
>>3548 It seems to me that "eating it to become it" is actually quite a central theme in the world of the Tsaesci. Perhaps it's confirmation bias considering we don't know any different occasions, but it should be pointed out that Versidue-Shaie became ruler of Tamriel not simply by killing Reman III, but by first establishing himself in a position - the Potentate - that the Elder Council was more willing to work with than with the Reman/Dor pretenders.
So in a way, Versidue-Shaie "ate" the imperial authority (consolidating it in the title of Akaviri Potentate) to become it.
Perhaps it could be construed that an Enantiomorph was also involved, with Reman III as the King, Versidue-Shaie as the Rebel, and Savirien-Chorak as the Observer. Who knows?
Either way the concept of "eating it to become it" seems to be a Tsaesci interpretation of mantling, or at least analogue or related to it.
>>3539 Part of the Tsaesci creation myth is referenced in Morrowind, in the 36 Lessons of Vivec, Sermon 21:
"the Spokes are the eight components of chaos, as yet solidified by the law of time: static change, if you will, something the lizard gods refer to as the Striking. That is the reptile wheel, coiled potential, ever-preamble to the never-action."
Speaking of the Striking, the 12 serpents that have a name: if I'm not mistaken, the only lore-relevant occurrence of the number 12 in The Elder Scrolls is in the 12+1 constellations; it is then likely no coincidence that the 13th, ostensibly without a name, is the ambulant and predatory Serpent.

Are there competing models to the "wheel and spoke"? To be honest I'm not a big fan of it because it limits oblivion to 16 major entities. I vaguely remember some piece of writing (or an NPC) in the Shivering Isles commenting on the possibility of countless daedra existing in Oblivion, unknown to mortals because they, like Jyggalag, never took interest in the mortal realm. That sounds way more interesting than the "wheel and spoke", which leaves no mysteries intact, and makes the universe feel small and limited.

this makes the most sense to me. explains why they "predict the future" (in reality they exist outside of time), and their utterly intractable nature that is not even understood by gods.

It's only showing the realms that have been heavily covered by the games, and in a simplified manner. Daedric realms can't actually be seen or even fixed to a position. They are each their own domain which are all equally represented by the endless black sea of oblivion.

Sotha Sil being a seagod is in the sermons though. He dwells in the coral and glass castles of the Dreugh and it's explicitly said that the sea is in his domain as the middle-air is Vivec's and the Stars are Almalexia's
