I’ve a rather extensive report on the Triune covering their histories, their ascension, and their decline. We know enough about them to understand who they were to the people of Morrowind and who they were to each other, but I neglected to tell muc

I do so love Riften. I journeyed here in my youth. A thief took my purse, so I took his eyes. A fair exchange.

We’ve all heard tell of the stories of the Spectral Assassin, the ghastly rogue summoned by the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood in game

Family matriarch. Political savant. Shrewd businesswoman. Maven Black-Briar. It’s no secret that the proud head of the Black-Briar family pulls the strings in the Rift. Secret dealings with the Thieves’ Guild. Friend to the Dark Brotherhood. Patron M

We’ve all played the College of Winterhold questline. We all know Savos Aren is a respected mage – obviously, considering his position as Arch-Mage – but we also all see how unimpressive he ends up throughout the course of the game. His rather abrupt

Mannimarco is, perhaps, the most prolific necromancer in The Elder Scrolls Cosmology. At the height of his power, he was poised to supplant Molag Bal and become the new God of Schemes, but he was ultimately thwarted. His legacy, however, remains im

We all played Dragonborn – if you haven’t, what the heck are you doing here? We know the animosity the Skaal have towards the Daedric Prince of Secrets and that the animosity is equivocally reciprocated. We may even understand some of the finer detai

Continuing our theme of the Oblivion Crisis and its aftermath, though this is slightly removed, we have had a request for the Accession War – specifically, the Sacking of Mournhold, though that is a small piece of the invasion of Morrowind.

Late in the 3E, a cult devoted to the belief that Nirn was and should be again part of Oblivion rose to prominence. When the las

You know the story. The Cult of the Mythic Dawn. The assassination of Emperor Uriel Septim the VII. The arrival of Mehrunes Dagon on Nirn. The gates opening during the Oblivion Crisis. The final sacrifice of Martin Septim. The victory for the Hero of

There’s been a lot of debate on the Forge and in the Discord lately about the Thalmor, and how they might treat individuals or organizations outside of those of Altmer origins. In order to thoroughly dissect the inner machinations of the Third Aldme

Welcome back! Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday week. Jumping right back into lore posting with the history of the greatest Aedra that existed. Of course, this also means we’ll cover Malacath, but let’s start with the Golden Champion himself.

You’ve heard the stories. The Forsworn. They steal children in the night. They boil them skin and bone. They are as ferocious to their kinsmen as to their enemies. What led the people of Skyrim to such fanciful tales? We have to go way back to the be

Before we dive into the finer machinations that makeup Khajiit Martial Arts, let us first tackle what the claw-dances really are in the first place.

At the end of every era, the Shivering Isles in Oblivion prepare to undergo a radical transformation that inevitably destroys the Shivering Isles. We know this to be true, we have se

Black Marsh is a dense swampland region of southeastern Tamriel, home to the reptilian humanoid race of Argonians. Though mer often refer to Black Marsh as Argonia, there is actually no word for Black Marsh in Jel, the native Argonian tongue, which a

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
