Okay, so I know I am super late to the party, but I just read on the wiki about the official http://en.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Fall_of_the_Space_Core,_Vol_1 released in 2012. Since it was released in part by Beth, does that mean that this is now part of the in-universe Lore. If so, how do you all fit this little bit of spaceyness into the rest of the lore, especially as it regards the rest of the Aurbis?

Thanks

Don't read too much into it :v. It's not official canon, it's just an official bit of silliness to celebrate the Workshop.

Sotha Sil in Atherius making toys for all the Divines was how I was explaining it to myself.

Bruh. Figgin Dwemer/CHIM/Lorkahn/Sotha Sil bruh.

Here's my semi-silly headcanon:

In one of the perhaps countless realities where the organization known as Aperture Science exists, one (or more) managed to open a rift not to another place in its own universe, not to some place in a parallel world, but to someplace in an entirely different multiverse, where reality itself adhered to a different set of rules. The breach broke the Dragon, and although the Jills promptly mended it, from then on, the void had new inhabitants- the Spheriphem.

Skyrim is really Half Life 2: Episode 3, and TESVI is going to be a crossover with Portal 3 and Half Life 3. It will be revealed that Gordon Freeman was the godhead, dreaming up the TES world when he fell unconscious at the end of Episode 2.
