![]() ![]() Mundus in this state is highly magical and dangerous plane. Now known as the sun and stars, it is through these holes that magic flows into Mundus. Magnus and his followers (the Magna-Ge) decide to abandon the project, ripping holes in the fabric of the universe in their departure to Aetherius. Creation of Mundus required great sacrifice, outright killing some of the et'Ada while leaving the survivors significantly weakened. ![]() ![]() According to some sources, particularly the ancient Aldmer, he even tricked the et'Ada into agreeing with it. However, Lorkhan's plan is not what it seemed. These et'Ada are now known as the Daedra, "Not Our Ancestors", and these worlds are the Daedric Planes, within the void of "Oblivion". Other et'Ada reject Lorkhan's idea and instead create their own worlds within themselves over which they have total control. These et'Ada who contribute to the creation of Mundus become known as the Aedra, "Our Ancestors" in Old Aldmeris. Finally, Lorkhan convinces Auri-El to join, promising him that he can be "king" of the realm. Magnus joins as well, becoming the "architect" of Mundus. Kynareth (aka Kyne) is said to be the first et'Ada to agree to Lorkhan's plan, followed by many others. Mundus would serve as the "center" of Aurbis, like the hub of a wheel, and be a place where spirits could self-reflect and thereby reach immortality, equaling or even surpassing those who made them. Lorkhan shares his vision with the other et'Ada, a plan to create "Mundus", the mortal plane. One of these "original spirits", said to have been "begat" by Padomay, was Lorkhan (aka Shor, Shezarr, Sep, etc.). Others remain as concepts, ideas, or emotions, their personalities slowly congealing. Soon after, the "strongest" of the recognizable spirits form, including Mephala, Arkay, Y'ffre, and Magnus. The first of these spirits to "crystallize" was Auri-El (aka Akatosh). (Some myths state that the Aedra come from the mixed blood of Anu and Padomay, while the Daedra come purely from the blood of Padomay). What they left behind became known as the "Aurbis", the universe or "totality".įrom the intermingling of the spilled blood of Anu and Padomay came the "et'Ada", or "original spirits", who would go on to become either the Aedra or the Daedra depending on their actions during the creation of Mundus. Anu then pulled Padomay and himself outside of time, ending Padomay's threat to creation "forever". Padomay returned and wounded Anu, seeking to destroy Nirn. Presuming Padomay dead, Anu salvaged the pieces of the 12 worlds to create one world: Nirn. Padomay, Driven by Envy of Nir's love for Anu and angred by her rejection of him, killed Nir and destroyed the 12 worlds she gave birth to. Both Anu and Padomay fell in love with Nir and attempted to court her, but Nir would ultimately choose Anu, and together they gave birth to 12 worlds in which life flourished. The anthropomorphized primordial forces of "stasis/order/light" and "change/chaos/darkness", most popularly known as the two brothers Anu and Padomay, interplay in the great "Void", leading to Nir, "creation". Though the specifics vary between every culture and religion, a few details are consistent. Thus, the below "timeline" is instead a grouping of known events from this era. Linear time had not been conceived of as a concept and the very laws of of the universe had not yet been set, meaning any attempt to put the events of the Dawn Era into any kind of chronological order is an exercise in futility. The earliest period and very much a Time of Myths. ![]()
