You haven't quite delved deeply into Tamriel/ES lore, have you? It's the only fantasy setting (aside from certain outlandish jRPG ones) that doesn't copy Tolkien or real-world mythology tropes. Each Tamriel race has its own version of the ES monomyth, which itself is completely alien to any other fantasy setting out there.
And of course, I completely ignore Oblivion when writing this, considering how much it butchered established lore.
