I went through the discuss section and I found someone who had written this:
""Know that there are places beyond Tamriel where the cunning and the wary can go to learn forgotten spells. I speak of the planes of Oblivion. The sea of limitless dimensions contains an endless series of islands. Some are controlled by the mighty Daedric Princes; others are loosely connected to one minor Daedra Lord or another. On these islands, creatures dwell who possess secrets out of time. Some are there of their own volition, but others are banished there for crimes either heinous or imagined."
Now, I've seen this in a debate before, but people incorrectly assumed dimension=universe. Upon reading the text you notice that oblivion is a "sea of limitless dimensions" which 'contains' "an endlesd series of islands" and these islands are controlled by the daedric princes. So by the context, grammar and punctuation, you can clearly see that universes = endless series of islands and that dimensions are distinct properties of oblivion as it is described as a sea "of" limitless dimensions, "containing" an endless series of islands. Further references to higher dimensions are found in the book 'Liminal bridges' which refers to the hyperagonality of oblivion. Please try to see the distinction between dimensions and universes presented in the text before dismissing the evidence."
As I said before, I did not write this, someone else did in the discuss option and Im moving it here for further discussion.
Thoughts?
