Huntsman of the Princes & the Sport of Daedra. : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

I've been curious at what the relationship of the Daedra Princes are. Especially Hircine being the Sport of Daedra. I am writing a story in which my protagonist is a Hound of Hircine in the Hunting Grounds. But I've been curious about inter-Oblivion travel? From realm to realm. Would Hircine ever have a pocket realm like other princes where he can host hunts? For example:

"When the forces of Mehrunes Dagon attacked the Battlespire during the Imperial Simulacrum, Hircine's Wild Hunt was taking place in the small pocket realm known as the Chimera of Desolation. On a quest to defeat Dagon, the Hero of Battlespire passed through the realm and became the Hare of the hunt. Using the Savior's Hide and the Spear of Bitter Mercy, the hero defeated the Huntsman, the Herne Egahirn, and escaped the realm."

I suppose Hircine does hosts hunts for his Daedric brothers to enjoy themselves in. He could do so for his own "children", per se. The ones who have proven themselves talented and loyal hunters. Setting them against dangerous prey in other realms? Would that be plausible or no? As for the ones who played ESO, is there any mention of travel from one Oblivion realm to another? Thanks

There is some travel between Oblivion planes in The Infernal City, some characters use it as a means of travelling across long distances in Tamriel in a short amount of time, maybe looking into some of the notes the Imperial Library has on that book could give you some answers you're looking for. It wasn't a very orthodox method though, so I'm not sure if it's something Daedra or others could even do normally.

There's also Morian Zenas in the book 'The Doors of Oblivion' you might find interesting and perhaps useful for background information about it.
