Meant to be from the point of view of an Ashlander, but might be adapted to Dres with a little elbow grease. I tried to make all these interpretations morally gray; Molag Bal was hardest, until I came upon the idea that Ashlanders sacrifice their social deviants or deformed mer to him. Sheogorath's entry also suggests the Ashlanders don't view the mentally ill as negatively as the House Dunmer--"seeing things" is what the wise woman do after all!

A bibliographical codex of various rare books that the author, an old librarian, considers to be too dangerous. Basically, I've tried to insert a Lovecraftian narrator into the TES universe. Might need some spellchecking and grammar checking, but otherwise done.
(added a reference to Ateiggaer in the text, hope you don't mind! I'll remove it if you want.)
They grew up without their mother, A terrible disease took her from us, What should a father do?, I could not comfort them, I could not guide them.
One of them died of bitter grief, The other died of the famine, The third was hanged for a crime, The fourth found his grave in the sea, The fifth vanished in the war.
And as he came to Necrom, He looked up the sky and shouted, No God on the whole of Nirn, Is able to relief the terrible pain,
This plugin contains templates for all our current book models for easy access when creating new books (and also for overview).
The plugin also fixes the wrong icon for our "T_Bk_UNI_DeadricSeptisTR" book.
The files "tr_aa_book_closed_01.nif" and "tr_aa_book_closed_02.nif" can be deleted from Tamriel Data since they're duplicates of "tr_book_closed01_aa.nif" and "tr_book_closed02_aa.nif" and aren't used by any of our already existing books.
I just noticed again that we have this awesome looking unused Khajiit book in our data files, so if anyone feels like writing a fitting Khajiit-themed book this could be a great unique book to place in Ebon Tower Interior #10. Perhaps something about the different Khajiit breeds written from a Khajiit perspective? That would go well with texture of the book.

This serves as a companion book to the Origin of the Ash Yam and written by the same author ingame, and colored by the same ignorance about DUnmer culture that gets him in trouble with a bonemold crafter. This time, however, he also gets some revenge for his social faux pas.
While searching through your old forums, I found this 95% finished, most interesting text by Sload. (Original thread) From what I can tell, it has not been included into TR, but since it is excellent background lore for the Great Houses, I post it here as a reminder, perhaps you have some use for it. Two images are missing, otherwise it appears to be finished.
To give credence to my pet theory that Khajiit worship through the expression of dance, martial arts, consumption of moon sugar, singing, and other arts...rather than scripture, prayer, or sermons. It's also implied the Khajiit saying this has stolen from the audience while they were distracted by the dance and half-poem put on.
