What are the differences between Tamriel, Mundus and Nirn? : V

» Fri Jun 08, 2012 6:10 am

I see those words used alot, and by context it seems like they are referring to the same place, but then why would there be 3 names for it? Is it an Earth/Terra kind of thing? Where both are English words, but one comes from the Germanic languages, and one from Greco-Roman languages?

Is it like that for the Elder Scrolls world, or are they 3 different places?

Tamriel is the continent, Nirn is the world/planet and Mundusis the plane or realm of existence that encompasses Nirn, its moons, and attendant Aedric planets.

Looooooool wuuut?
To keep it simple Mundus is the "creation"
Nirn is their "earth"
Tamriel is the continent TES games have been set in.

If I wanted to research it, I could have. I'd rather just have someone answer my questions for me, so I dont' have to read allot of other stuff that doesn't answer my question, until I get to get the answer that I'm looking for

College did that to me. I could just raise my hand and ask the Professor.

Not the UESP Wiki or, even better, the Imperial Library which is where you go to really learn Lore

...Wikipedia doesn't have Elder Scrolls lore.

Check http://uesp.net/ or http://www.imperial-library.info/

No one gets my jokes either. So....

Until people take my jokes seriously, then I will take all posts seriously.

Nirn is the name of the planet, but it also means the 'Grey Maybe', the point of overlap between Anu and Padomay where any creation would have to take place.

I wasn't trying to fool you. I was drily commenting that people can't look anything up without wiki
