Summerset Orrery

Planets are astronomical bodies. Altmeri high priests use jeweled rotating and counter-rotating orreries to determine which Aedric planet to worship. Number Eight is important in their culture as it is considered the Number of the Planets. They named planets after Elven Aedra, but refer to the same celestial objects as Mannish cultures.

The largest shooting stars are actually planets with independent orbits. One of the most well-known is the Rogue Plane; Baan Dar.

Nirn

Nirn (which means 'Gray Maybe' in Ehlnofex) is the Mortal Plane, the planet upon which Tamriel and the mortal races reside. It floats in the void of Oblivion and comprises the realm known as Mundus. Sources often use the terms Nirn and Mundus synonymously. Nirn was created during the Dawn Era by the Aedra and Anu-aligned spirits, based on Lorkhan's inspiration and Magnus' designs.
