The Aedra did not approve of what had become of Lorkhan's design, and had him destroyed. Unlike the Aether, which was the essence of stasis, or Oblivion, which was the essence of change, Mundus would be a place of balance, where mortal beings would live and die, and where time would all things would be temporal. Lorkhan poured his life into the creation of the planet. With the help of the Aedra, or gods, he designed the world of Mundus, known to the elves as Nirn. Borne by Padomay to destroy what his brother had created, Lorkhan was the God of Creation, for he rebelled against his father and planned to create a world of his own design. The Aurbis is the universe of the Elder Scrolls, and encompasses the world of Mundus and its firmament, made up of the planes of Oblivion, the planes of Aetherius, and the Void in between. The Aurbis was created in the time before time, when Anu (stasis) and Padomay (change) battled in the void.
The Elder Scrolls is a universe comparable in scale to Middle Earth or A Song of Ice and Fire, and each game adds mountains of new material to the already lofty body of lore. Their Pocket Guide to Lore is pretty nifty and serves as an excellent companion to the Pocket Guide to the Empire, a lengthy in-game book that describes all of Tamriel's provinces.Ī dozen hours of Oblivion might tell you a little bit about the gods and kings of so ancient a continent, but it's impossible to grasp the breadth of Tamriel's mythology without at least a cursory glance at some online resources. The aforementioned TES Lore subreddit is a great place to discuss the universe and all its intricacies. Skyrim and Oblivion might not delve into the lore as deeply as Morrowind or Daggerfall, but they're a wonderful way to learn the basics of the series and develop a basic understanding of Mundus' mythology. The best way to dive into the Elder Scrolls universe is to play the games. Appreciators of this lore are a fandom themselves, with a marvelous subreddit, a lore-driven wiki, and a podcastĪll devoted to the study of the weird and wondrous world of Mundus. Incredibly original and just as vast, the games' universe has been built up of fifteen years' worth of dialogue, books, blog posts, and essays. The Elder Scrolls has perhaps the deepest canon of any videogame series. The first ones were brothers: Anu and Padomay.
