Dualities of ALMSIVI Worship

A book warning Tribunal worshippers of the pitfalls of belief- expressed through comparisons to the House of Troubles, followed by further comparisons between traps of overzealous worship and individual aspects of Sheogorath, which also inadvertently foreshadows the eventual downfall of each member of the Tribunal.

The Nine Parables of Almalexia

Nine skill books to mirror the 36 Lessons. Each contains a stylized tale of Almalexia displaying mercy. Parables 1-4 take place in the misty distant past, Parables 5-8 take place in the second era, Parable 9 takes place in the (imagined) future. All of them are more "accessible" and written in plainer language than the 36 Lessons, to match Ayem's "god of the people" style.

I'll fill these in here as I finish them.

Parable Seven

The Lantern Thief

I am writing a set of magic skillbooks for general use in TR, as we lack variety in that department. This is the Illusion skillbook, called "The Lantern Thief". It is about a cryptid believed to reside in the Telvannis district who steals lanterns (and probably murders people along the way). It suggests Archmagister Dral, if we end up running with the whole daedric insectoid abomination thing, and the idea came from Feivelyn's art for Dral, which depicted him as being obsessed with lamps and lanterns (bug as he is).

The Tragedy of Dumac Dwarf-Orc

A proposal for an Orcish account of the Battle of Red Mountain. The presence of an Orcish account of the Battle within TR will further confuse the battle and possibly provide a new, interesting insight on the event to players. An Orcish account in particular will expand upon the mentions in "Five Songs of King Wulfharth" and "The War of the First Council" of Orcish belligerents more weight, expanding and elaborating on existing lore.

Book: Daedric Language Guide

As Morrowind has daedric letters everywhere, and TR is adding more of that in the form of grafitti which doesn't have subtitles. It might be a good idea to have a book players can find in the world to keep in their back pocket when exploring and to refer to when trying to understand what something says in Daedric. This would be more immersive rather than googling translations, someone can translate in game themselves. Skill Book: Conjuraion: Value 150. 

Foxmoth, Lilmoth

First draft of a rare book defending its author theory. A minor (and somewhat laughtable) one. Can be found in south Morrowind, Imperial settlements in Argonia, Nibenay and coastal Cyrodiil.
I can find a more serious author name (and a better title), if needed.
