But I have a question. If creating the world was such a big task for even many gods combined, how come all Daedra have their own realm (which they obviously created themselves alone)?

And if it was Mundus that it was defficult to create, then couldn't the gods (Et'Ada, Aedra, Manga Ge) create their own realms like the Daedra? Why create Mundus and sacrifice some of their might?

Call Mundus a first attempt, an experiment with which the Realms of Oblivion are secondary versions of that first attempt possibly more refined so that the Daedric Princes can still roam in other realms while having themselves anchored to their own Realms which is the source of their power and themselves. But unlike Mundus, which is actually the planets and moons themselves rather than space outside, the Daedric Princes did not expend their power on creating life. That was the big kicker, the Aedra/Divines expended so much power in the creation of life itself for the planets and for the species that live in Mundus.

In Oblivion, its stated that Mundus is nothing more than an Oblivion Realm itself with its Prince Lorkhan having been "killed" and is now absent. If true then Mundus is truly unique because its the power of the other Aedra that holds it into its place in existence rather than one being's power and will.
