Even More Skyrim Texts

Thanks to forumer Zarath, we now have a text file of the books of Skyrim. Many more have been posted since yesterday, and will continue to be posted in the coming days.

 

Of particular interest are:

Rising Threat - an Altmer's account of the rise of the Thalmor since the Oblivion Crisis and their growing influence in Cyrodiil. 

Rise and Fall of the Blades - a history of the famous order, with emphasis on their Akaviri origins. 

There Be Dragons - a good overview of Dragons and their history.

Falmer: A Study - explains how they got to be the creatures we find in Skyrim today. 

High Hrothgar Tables - these emblems are found along the 7,000 steps to High Hrothgar. They tell of the war between Dragons and men. 

Alduin is Real, and He Ent Akatosh - one Nord's view of the Alduin/Akatosh dichotomy.

There are plenty of other interesting books as well, including a couple accounts of Saarthal, a study on warewolves, and several texts on the Elder Scrolls. Be sure to check them out!

 Again, thanks to Zarath for making our jobs much easier. I'd also like to thank Vimk, Thrignar Fraxix, Hellmouth, and InklingStar for providing screenshots last time around. 

 

edit: For those too impatient to wait I've attached the a zip with all the books. --- Proweler

How can I help you in this work? Is there an e-mail box I could send my texts to? :)

That is verry kind of you but I believe we have all the texts now. You can extract them from the game data in /Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim/Data/Strings.

I put together a similar site and ended up using your zip file (I'm playing on the Xbox and thus don't have the string files), so thank you for that.

I'm still working on the transformation of files but the basics are up and running. The site is  www.arcanaeum.com

Hey that's cool. You know, you don't have frames, but that's how the library started out once. :D
