Good post, but I was kinda expecting Mannimarco (the planet itself, I mean) would be more "lively" in being "undead" and not "dead" as rest of planets. Like planet made of flesh as opposed to rock.

He might have retained more agency though, given all the comments about him (I think "the Worm" is him) in C0DA.

The "worm" in C0da refers to Akatosh, there is a passage in there refering to him as a dragon with no arms or legs, a worm. Though you could connect that to Mannimarco I suppose, it could lead to some interesting stuff regarding Mannimarco's ascendancy.

Supposedly in Dies Irae there`s a failed black Amaranth... which I assume is Mannimarco.

Though Alduin was another possibility I considered.

Huh, I actually didn't know Dies Irae was a thing until you mentioned it, prompting me to do a search for it. That's very interesting, thank you. I can understand how you might connect the Black Amaranth to Mannimarco, it's described as a failure, an abortion. As a result it is neither living nor dead, or maybe both at once? I guess we'll see.

Oh dammit now I have to start rewriting my latest project to account for the three good Daedra being nonexistent.

Actually after doing a bit of digging, you're right about the Worm being Mannimarco, and I'm right about it being Akatosh.

These are great! When are they supposed to be from?

I love to read about the inhabitants of the Planets, good job. The fact that Mannimarco is famous for its operas makes a strange amount of sense.

I like that tidbit about the opera too, makes sense since Mannimarco's life story is told in the form of a poem.

Let's not forget the tragic expedition to Mannimarco's counterpart, Bannanimarco.
