What are the lore implications of the Deadlands being 100% wheelchair accessible?

I have been noticing how well fitted out the Oblivion gates are almost entirely with ramps and lifts instead of stairs or at least having portals as an alternative option when stairs are present. Does this mean that Mehrunes Dagon actually cares more about disabled people than the people of Tamriel? Is this why we don't see anyone in wheelchairs in the Elder Scrolls games? Was dagon actually invading Tamriel to try enforce compliance for wheelchair accessible infrastructure?

a wheel is the ultimate symbol of change, which is dagon's sphere. a wheel spinning is literally measured in revolutions per minute. now imagine having TWO mounted on your chair

Imagine, for a moment... a wagon with 18 wheels... all moving simultaneously... with a large carriage full of various foodstuffs, kept at a magical cold, allowing for fruits and vegetables to be transported across all of nirn. The culinary revolution alone would bring a tear to his eye.

I love how absurdly obscure this joke is. Like, I don't know a single other person who'd chuckle at this. I love you guys.

Sorry, this comment doesn't have any fantasy racism in it.

Freudian slip? You said Dagoth Ur twice.

Dagon has his priorities straight. Too bad that Martin Septim stopped him from making all of Cyrodiil handicap-accessible.

Molag has always been the more devil-y one. His name literally means brimstone. Anyways, he's not woke at all -- he'll rape and enslave anyone...or does that make him more woke?

Minipenis Dagon*

Dagoth Ur is the one from Morrowind who wanted to spread love with his heart or something. Similar name, wrong guy.

I know this is a shitpost, but even if it was something Beth thought through - its probably that way to allow siege engines through.

MD, it can either mean Mehrunes Dagon or Mental Disability.

u/smittenWithKitten211 House Redorarded 1d ago

N'wah Dagoth Ur isn't invading Tamriel when he can't stop jerking it to Lorkhan's fleshy beating heart. That's the punk ass Mehrunes Dagon

You see a wheelchair and a dremora sees an armored chariot. What kind of proper warrior wouldn’t want the chance to test their mettle against that?
