    Ah, I did not know that, I always pictured Cyrodill as just medieval Europe inspired, including the more temperate climate.

      If I recall correctly, the in-game explanation is that a former emperor-turned-god transformed the landscape to what we see in Oblivion. Guy basically used console commands lol.

      Personally, I like the world in Oblivion. I always thought that people didn’t give it enough credit, with the various environment biomes like the swamps and tundra areas. I also love the cities so much. Leyowin has this middle ages New Orleans vibe that I just love!

        Funnily enough, what you said is pretty close to what happened in canon. The Emperor at the time (I forget who it was, probably Tiber Spetim) had a legitimate methaphysically-powered Gundam/EVA unit and used it to basically terraform the jungles of Cyrodill into what we see in Oblivion

        So he basically modded Cyrodill with the power of Numidium.
