While I was playing Oblivion all those years ago, I did not know how deep Elder Scrolls lore ran, so Mankar Camoran's speeches meant little to me. Thankfully, I read up on a lot of lore after then and now, after all this time, I recalled Mankar's speeches. All the while, he seemed to go on about how Tamriel should be Dagon's and how it was never supposed to be what it became. My question is this: Isn't he supposed to say Nirn in place of Tamriel? I mean, Tamriel is just a continent on Nirn, and there are others. Why not take it all? What's so special about Tamriel that it is the only continent that interests him, or any other deity for that matter? If he had succeeded, what would have happened to Akavir and Pyandonea?

Second question is simple. When a kalpa ends, do Daedra and Aedra start over again like mortals or do they remain unchanged?

Oh, and last, since my favorite part of lore is politics, I had a question which might be suited to the Daggerfall section more than the lore section but I'll shoot anyway: To my knowledge, most of the NPCs, including those in court (with the exception of a few like Helseth), were unnamed, where did all political lore of Daggerfall come from? Books or what?

From Mysterious Akavir:

Akavir is the kingdom of the beasts. No Men or Mer live in Akavir, though Men once did. These Men, however, were eaten long ago by the vampiric Serpent Folk of Tsaesci. Had they not been eaten, these Men would have eventually migrated to Tamriel. The Nords left Atmora for Tamriel. Before them, the Elves had abandoned Aldmeris for Tamriel. The Redguards destroyed Yokuda so they could make their journey. All Men and Mer know Tamriel is the nexus of creation, where the Last War will happen, where the Gods unmade Lorkhan and left their Adamantine Tower of secrets. Who knows what the Akaviri think of Tamriel, but ask yourself: why have they tried to invade it three times or more?

Last War. Hmmm. What's that all about?

The Last War will be the Ehlnofex Wars of the Next Kalpa's Dawn Era.
