Sometime in the Merethic Era, the Dwemer built a massive fortress deep within the Druadach Mountain region, calling it Nchuand-Zel, or Radiant City in Dwemeris. In the Merethic Era, it encompassed most of what is now modern day Markarth, though in pr

Legend tells of black wings and iron masks, of scaled overlords and their human attendants. The Dragon Cult once ruled Skyrim with a fist of fear in the Merethic Era. Their temples, their undead servants, their priceless treasures can still be found

There was an informal request to do a report on the dragons prior to a report about the Dragon Cult. Fortunately, being that dragons were the focus of a main title game and are an overarching theme throughout the Elder Scrolls franchise, there is qui

Furrion made a request prior to the last report for me to write one about the Night of Tears and the sacking the Saarthal which inevitably leads to the fall of the Falmer.

Now, as I am sure we are all aware, the Night of Tears is mentioned a few time

Elder Scrolls Lore Report – CHIM, Psijic Endeavor, and…the Godhead?

Hold on to your butts for this one, it’s gonna get crazy. I have yet to preclude a report with this and am happy to say this one is the first to need so, but either way, before we be

As a relishing follow-up to the report on the Tribunal, I thought I would try my hand to satisfy the request of doing a report on the Clockwork Apostles. Fortunately, there is nowhere near as much lore for them as for the Tribunal – in fact, I did n

Lore Report – The Kamal

What are the Kamal? Well, simple enough, the Kamal were a race of snow demons living in Akavir. Kamal itself translates to snow hell. These snow demons would spend the cold winter months frozen solid, but, when summer came, th

Vanus Galerion. His name pops up many times throughout the entirety of the continuity of the Elder Scrolls. Known as the Great Mage, he is most famous for the founding of the Mage’s Guild and the defeat of Mannimarco, the King of Worms. But, just who

Hello, fellow SkyForgers. I come back after my leave of absence with a different kind of report than my typical norm. There was a request to do a report on the lore of the various magical guilds, particularly on the collapse of the Mage’s Guild duri

In keeping with the current theme of ancient lore of the Elder Scrolls series, such as Padomay and Anu and Morihaus, this week’s lore report features our favorite, feathered half-elf – Umaril the Unfeathered. As always, we shall begin with who is Uma

Diving ever deeper into the ancient history and theology of the Elder Scrolls, I, Fimvul, will be your guide into understanding the relationship between Anu’iel and Sithis to Anu and Padomay. However, before we can delve into the massive labyrinthine

My last lore report potentially raised a few questions. I made a mention of Tower Zero and the Ur-Tower when talking about different ways the Ayleids referred to what became known as the White-Gold Tower. I figured, perhaps, those questions might nee

Just a brief foreword - this was an post for April Fool's Day 2020. Nonetheless I hope you enjoy!

Hey all, Ponty here! I haven’t been much of a lore scholar in the past, but I suppose there’s a first time for everything. What I’ve uncovered here in my

Seems there have been a few requests for me to do a report on the Sword-Singers. Having only just recently learned about them myself - within the past year or so -

Who are the Dawnguard? No, really. We know them as a faction revived by Isran (pictured below), a clan of Vampire Hunters in an age long past, their fort in ruin, but who were they? Bear with me as I attempt to tackle this ques
