The Elder Scrolls

The reality in layers, surrounded by void, full of many fantastical beasts, strange spirits, deities, and ordinary people living rich lives. A world of magic and convoluted history. In this sort of universe, many things can happen. Is this universe a carbon-copy of the one we know from The Elder Scrolls series, or are there noticeable differences? Is there daedric trickery involved, or is it more or less mundane?
