Pro-Mole: Hey! I liked this reference: "something worse than the run-down ghettos of São Paulo". Is there another Brazilian troper around here?!
Seven Seals: Oh, this is nice:
- Mehrunes Dagon's planes of Oblivion from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is a Mordor with lots of fire. The gates to Mehrunes' Oblivion in the "real world" radiate scorched land and ominous clouds. The other planes of Oblivion are ruled by other entities have appearances reflecting their personalities and powers, and as such have different appearances.
This is the
exact opposite of what it used to say, namely, that the planes of Oblivion all look the same in the game even though they shouldn't, going by in-game materials. You'll go on multiple Daedric quests that will take you to planes of Oblivion not ruled by Mehrunes Dagon, but they'll all look like Dagon's planes, leading to the impression that Oblivion is some sort of generic hell ruled by demons. (Most of the Daedric Princes could be described as thoroughly unpleasant, but they are not generic evil; Mehrunes Dagon is one of the nastiest of the lot as far as mortals are concerned.)
The editor who changed this around is probably thinking of the
Shivering Isles expansion pack, which will take you to the realms of Sheogorath. These indeed look completely different from the vanilla Oblivion planes, but that's because they
could be bothered to shake things up for the expansion.
Qit el-Remel: Felwood is another
World Of Warcraft example of a "Mordor"...or possibly a
Garden Of Evil.
Kizor: Fixed this, but saved a copy here because it bears mentioning that
you are allowed and expected to change other peoples' text in articles.
- In Firefly, Earth has become inhabitable and is now called "Earth-That-Was".
- The word you're looking for is "uninhabitable".
Changed the link in the
Lot R entry. It strikes me as terribly unfair to call it "The Theme Park Version" when it's "The version that was in the original books". It's not even arguably fair to expect every straight up fan to read All In The Manual material..
- All in the manual? The south of Mordor being farmland is mentioned in the normal narrative text (LotR VI Ch. 2 "The Land of Shadow"). And I thought the "Theme Park Version" meant the less-complex imitators, not Tolkien himself.
