im not sure if im right but they are diffrent dimentions not physical places like planets are to our universe but yes your right not many people know about all of the planes of oblivion the provenecs and stuff

thanks for that

this has a canon if a bit vague explanation at the imperial library

yea and if you listen to what one of the guys at the collage of winter hold they say aetherius is the source of all magika in mundus

I'm thinking that the Green Perk guy is Aurbus and Anu and Padomay are the siblings or offspring. So Aetherius might be the mother of all of them.

and they didn't give the green perk guy a name

yes i saw that like 2 days ago when i was looking at the picture

Scratch that. The nebulae thingy's around Aetherius represent the perk trees, so when you choose a perk, you are looking past Aetherius for guidance.

ok

Ok. It may take a few days with permissions and clarification about all this stuff. What I've figured out so far is that Aetherius is in the middle of two opposite forces, Anu and Padomay. Anu for creation (Anu=Anew)
Padomay for destruction (can't figure out what that translates to)
