errr... well... it seems kinda stupid that nobody I know even has the faintest clue what these games are named after! All I know is that the games are called 'the elder scrolls', and im wondering; what are they?

The game named after Elder Scrolls - magickal artifact which Moth Prriests use to see the future.

i think i read somewhere you can change it if you write on them. would be cool if we made one of them so you read it to realise its your journal

Hmm nice idea. But impossible. Because they are in Cyrodiil...

Yes the Elder Scrolls are very mystical texts, or actually a single scroll I believe, however random texts appear on it when the Priests perform their ritural. It isn't exact either, and require interpeting as I understand it.

He was refering to the idea that it could be your Journal.

Umm... I kinda have another one of those silly questions, but might I ask what language/alphabet are the elder Scrolls written in? I know the scrolls are practically impossible to read, but is it because of translation issues?

AFAIK, they are not written in any language, or if they are they are unintelligible for all races. Hence why the Moth Priests are the only ones able to read them.

to be fair, i believe that it said that the elder scrolls were the artifacts of a. some gods, or b. some ancient civilization. i believe this was said in one of the earliest games. also, has nyone ever noticed the name convention that seems to place the word moth in every significant military installation in morrowind? curios, is it not?
