A new Nirn

Post » Thu Oct 31, 2013 1:12 am

Hello to all first off let me apologise if this does not belong in the lore forum but as it's a somewhat lore related question I thought this would be the place to post it. So off to it shall we :)

My question is this if it took 8 aedra to create Nirn what would happen if 8(or more) deadra decided to throw there lot in and do the same? I.e they agreed to put parts of themselves into the creation of an entirely new version of Nirn. Disregarding them viewing it as a trap etc etc for the sake of the argument.

Would this new Nirn be a hellish rendition of the current one given its deadric nature?

Would this create a second dream sleeve etc that would distribute souls to this new Nirn? Could a new Nirn even exist in the same universe as the existing one or would it throw it out of whack? (Almost like a solar system coming into existence beside our own)

Sorry for my lack of knowledge I just found it to be an interesting idea and wondered if any of the lore heavy hitters would have answers to my questions thank you for reading and replying kind regards sameron :)

Daedra are defined by their refusal to participate in Creation. If they did participate, they would be Aedra.

Ok....that's an answer I guess lol though I do believe I specifically said if we IGNORED the fact that the deadra didn't want to participate but decided to create their own Nirn not at the begging of time but now. Say for example there's a deadra party they are all have fun getting drunk(if gods can get drunk?) and then bal suggests making they're own world and sevreal others agree and start the plan off would they be able to do it? What consequences would arise? Would the new Nirn be a hell like place? A mish mash of the realms of its creators? Would there be a secondary dream sleeve to populate this new world? So on and so forth.

P.s sorry this is pretty much the same as the first post but you do seem have misinterpreted what I was saying or indeed just given a trivial answer.

I don't think there is anything that specifically prohibits them doing this, but given their egotistical nature it seems highly unlikely.

Creation also has a special place in the TES-universe, the Aurbis. It is the very centre, everything revolves around it and it is the culmination of age-old aspirations and ever-repeating patterns.

Even if other Original Spirits would decide to pool together and create a system like Creation they would not have the aid of three of the most powerful and clever Original Spirits involved with the original, Magnus, Lorkhan and Akatosh. It would not be as special and would not hold a central place in the greater scheme of things.

Interesting idea though.
