Nirn

Nirn is the planet created by Lorkhan and the Aedra. Nirn holds several continents including: Tamriel, Atmora, Yokuda, Akavir, and Pyandonea.

The main continent of Nirn is Tamriel, which is the largest known continent of Nirn and where all of The Elder Scrolls games take place. The other continents are located as follows: Akavir (East of Tamriel), Atmora (North of Tamriel), Yokuda (West of Tamriel, and is believed to have been destroyed), Aldmeris (the lost continent to the south), and Pyandonea (home to the Tropical Elven Kingdom, or the Maormer).

It is largely known by otherworldly beings as Mundus, or the mortal plane. The exact reasons and specifics of Nirn's creation are largely debated, but all agree that the deity Lorkhan was the mastermind behind it's creation. How he created Nirn is also unsure, ranging from the other Aedra agreeing to willfully help Lorkhan to him tricking them into it. However, it is universally acknowledged that the Aedra gave their energy and power for it, and that the majority gave up on the project after realizing the cost, and that those who didn't became the Eight Divines, or the Earth Bones.

It is orbited by two twin moons, Secunda and Masser.
