About This Book

From the snowy peaks of Skyrim to the bizarre mushroom towers of Morrowind, Tamriel is a world brimming with secrets. The UNOFFICIAL Elder Scrolls Fact-opedia is your definitive guide to the deepest, most obscure lore of the Aurbis, featuring 3,000 jaw-dropping facts that will permanently reshape your understanding of the games.

Dive into the terrifying truths behind the Daedric Princes, like Molag Bal's horrific creation of the first vampire, Lamae Beolfag, or the reality-bending chaos of Sheogorath's Fork of Horripilation. We explore the metaphysical mysteries of the Dwemer's Tonal Architecture, the God-Robot Numidium, and the shocking revelation that the moons Masser and Secunda are actually the rotting corpse of the dead god Lorkhan.

Whether you're uncovering the brutal mechanics of pickpocketing a Forsworn Briarheart's actual heart, deciphering the meta-commentary of M'aiq the Liar, or tracing the lineage of Alduin back to his role as a God-Fragment of Akatosh, this handcrafted vault of secrets goes far beyond a dry wiki page.

Equip yourself with the ultimate Elder Scrolls companion. Don't be a milk-drinker—master the lore, dominate debates with your fellow adventurers, and see Nirn in a completely new light.

Changes how you play the game

I've put over 2,000 hours into Skyrim and thought I knew it all. The section detailing the metaphysical Towers that stabilize Mundus and the lore behind CHIM completely blew my mind. This isn't just trivia; it's a deep dive into the very fabric of the Elder Scrolls universe.

Mind blown by the arrow-in-the-knee fact

I've been playing Skyrim for over a decade and I had no idea that 'taking an arrow in the knee' was actually an old Nordic saying for getting married! Mind blown. The book is packed with facts like this. I also laughed at the in-lore theory that all the guards sound the same because of a 'shared consciousness'. I knocked off one star because it's a bit text-heavy and could use more illustrations, but Ricardo Fernandes did a great job.

The Tribunal would be proud

Absolutely incredible level of research. Reading about the exact mechanics of Kagrenac's Tools, the Heart of Lorkhan, and the 36 Lessons of Vivec is a treat. It captures the alien weirdness of Morrowind perfectly while keeping the tone highly entertaining.

Incredible lore deep dives

Bought this as a birthday treat for myself. The deep dives into the lore are incredible. Fact 54 about the High Elves using 'impossible math' and giant birds to travel through Oblivion is the exact kind of weird, obscure lore I love about this series. Sometimes the book reads a little too much like a wiki dump, but it's a fantastic bathroom read for any Elder Scrolls nerd.
