[edit] The Creation of Mundus

Mundus was first conceptualised by Lorkhan, who then convinced other et'Ada (except the Padomay aligned et'Ada; the Daedra) to help him in the construction of it. Of these Aedra, Magnus became the Architect, who drew up the plans for it. Some of the et'Ada gave parts of themselves entirely to the creation of Mundus, these became the eight planets (not including Nirn) of Mundus (representing the Eight Divines, or Aedra), Lorkhan gave himself completly in the creation, and so became the final planet; Nirn (Aka The Arena). Soon after the planets had formed, Magnus (the Architect) became disgusted at what Mundus was, and so left, while doing so he ripped a hole in Oblivion (The realm of Daedra that surrounds Mundus and covers it from Aetherius, which imitates the true void of Padomay), through to Aetherius (This rip is viewed as the sun, it also gives Mundus no limitations to magic). Others soon followed after Magnus, these et'Ada left smaller rips, and became the stars (which are exactly the same distance away from Nirn as Magnus's hole, while still being a different size). Some et'Ada didn't manage to get away from Mundus and were left on Nirn as spirits; some changing into the Earthbones, some into the Ehlnofey and some wasting away into nothingness.

[edit] The Punishment of Lorkhan

Because of Lorkhan's trickery of the other et'Ada, the Aedra (the ones who formed the planets), met in the tower of Direnni (Aka the Admantine Tower, the Ur-Tower), to discuss the punishment of Lorkhan. Lorkhan's heart was then ripped out, and flung into the sea (where Vvardenfell now is).
