Books of Tamriel

One of the most interesting aspects in the Elder Scrolls series is the sheer amount of books and other textual information about the world. Although there's already a great deal of them, they're far from being enough to cover the whole continent of Tamriel and barely enough for provinces, for that matter. We have created a great deal of new books that both follow the lore and at the same time, create more of it through stories, poems, essays, research papers, letters and so on. Here, you are able to see our creations so far.
We are also using about 60 books that were included in Daggerfall but not Morrowind - these books have been put to use as well and can be found in the Objects of Tamriel: Books mod available in the downloads section. Those books are not listed here - this page is just for the purposes of recording our own achievements.
This page is updated every time new spellbooks have been marked as finished.

Spellbooks

Spellbooks is our biggest text-based subproject so far with about 60 books written so far. Our goal is to write at least one book about each spell effect in Morrowind and then continue to write some more, based on different locations. However, some spell effects have been excluded because of their unbalancing features. These are Corprus, Cure Corprus Disease, Fortify Maximum Magicka, Remove Curse, Restore Magicka, Stunted Magicka, Sun Damage and Vampirism. This is open for discussion, though, so if you have, for example, planned a difficult set of obscure quests for retrieving an ancient spellbook about Sun Damage, go ahead and post about it on the forums.
