And here's the pitch:
Instead of provinces, or continents, they're planets. Tamriel is the solar-system. Tamriel floats in a rift, in normal space, where magic exists; between perpetual creation and eternal death. Magnus was a human scientist which built the Starry-Heart, to enter a divide in space time, where mankind could stabilize after the Universe suffers a cataclysmic aneurysm. Thus magic from Magnus. The Yoku, Tsaesci, Kamal, Sload, etc exist within the rift, but in corners where the worlds are being eaten; they're swallowed by death, then reenter creation. It's very chaotic and static, in the corners (hence the weird forms [but no cat people!] as humans are exposed to God but don't die).
So, the Anuad.
...
Without elves/orcs/lizards. The planets are inhabited by humans, and a couple alien species (Sload, Tsaesci, Kamal, and Imga). Which, as I said, are not really aliens, but humans further from the center of Tamriel, which sheltered a fraction of mankind from being destroyed in the Big Crunch. Mmm... and no species of human "owns" a planet. They all come from Earth, but Earth didn't survive. Boo hoo. They're spread out, in the solar-system of Tamriel.
Ok, lots of Tekumel influence, but whatever. That's a good thing.
