I'm creating this thread to evoke the knowledge of the ancient loremasters in the wikia regarding something that's been bugging me since i saw Masser.

First, what do we know about the physical universe of TES?With that, i mean stars, moons, astrological positions, orbital routes and masses of space like Nirn.The various sailors of Nirn are sure to have used some kind of sky guidance while in the open sea, like we did in the real history, no?There are two moons and one sun that i know of, so there can be more.There was constellation and birthsign systems in previous games, and the skills menu in Skyrim clearly shows a representation of the constellations as well as the Guardian Stone, which have carvings of constellations in them, despite being very ancient.Would it make sense if a mage examined the sky in search of power?What about dawn magic?Also, the khajiit folk are heavily tied with the phases of the moons, having their body structure modified by the moons at birth.The khajiiti myth says this was caused by Azurah.

Second, what are the "spirit" realms and the physical realms?I always assumed Mundus was the spirit realm in which Nirn, the planet was.Is this correct?

Thirdly, what is the used delimitation of space in TES?In real life, we simply call it "universe", while it seemed to me that in TES it is called "Aurbis".Or Aurbis is another spirit realm?Please, give me a light here.

Now, i don't expect all of my answers to be answered, but i want you people to shed your ideas and assumptions on the matter.

Please, keep this as free as possible of the creationg myths, Elhnofey, Aedra and stuff.This is about the universe as weknow it, not about how it came to be.Otherwise, this will flame like livefire k
