Jewelry should follow through right after the taper goes in, tapers should not be worn as jewelry. If the jewelry isn't fitting you either are trying to put in improper jewelry or it's because you skipped a size...the tapers should go right through with no problem, there should be no pain or pressure.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion takes place in Cyrodiil, the province in the center of Tamriel. The player is able to choose from 10 races at the beginning of the game. The player can customize them in many ways, including age, appearance, complexion, and even eye color (for certain races).
The game Skyrim takes place in the province Skyrim, which is part of the continent Tamriel, which is on the planet Nirn. It takes place 200 years after Oblivion. In correlation to real human time events, it is roughly A.D. 1000, and it would take place in Northern Europe, if it was on Earth.
