Missed your chance to get Naryu's Journal with The Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind's collector's edition? Don't despair, because we now have the full text available! In it, the titular assassin takes us through the territories added to ESO post-launch as she hunts seven traitors of the Morag Tong

Check it out for a sassy romp through Tamriel.

A few developments in the storyline department. 

First, the plot of the Elder Scrolls Legends: Fall of the Dark Brotherhood is now (mostly) complete. The only thing missing is the final dialog branch for the player siding with Uther. The artwork is still pending as well. 

Second, I've uploaded the storyline to Elder Scrolls Online's Imperial City DLC. A big thanks is due to Xui'al, who did all the transcription work. Since the Imperial City is a Player-versus-Player combat zone in the game, this transcription is especially helpful to those of us who prefer to play ESO strictly solo. 

At this point you might be wondering what happened to the storyline of Skyrim or of ESO proper. Simply put, while we love having the storylines of the site and know that they contain a lot of important lore information, we're stretched pretty thin around here and can't prioritize them. If you've got some time on your hands and want to transcribe some portion of either game, please let me know! 

This month has been all about books, books, and more books. With the Elder Scrolls Online: Morrowind being made available to players who preordered the game, we here at TIL were finally able to share some of the new books from this Chapter. Players who have played TES3's depiction of Vvardenfell will find a lot of familiar content. While all the new books are very much worth reading, here are a few notable highlights:

• The Truth in Sequence - colloquially known as "Sotha Sil's Sermons," this six book series outlines Seht's view of the world, including the nature of the Daedra and the endeavors of the Dwemer. If you're into the metaphysics of TES, this one is a must read.
• The 36 Lessons of Vivec: Sermon 37 - This mysterious book, previously thought stolen, has Vivec speaking to us about their future from within their past. 
• Blessed Almalexia's Fables for the Morning, the Afternoon, and Evening - Not to be left out, Mother Morrowind presents us with more of her favorite parables. 
• Nix-Hounds: A Manual - A guide to caring for and raising your brand new Nix-hound. 
• The Ritual of Appeasement - Outlines an Ashlander ritual to the Good Daedra. 
• Ordinator Edicts - Learn the rules of the Tribunal and stay on the right side of the law. 
• Testimonials on Baar Dau - What is the mysterious moonlet, and how did it end up above Vivec City? 
• The Vile Truth of Barbas - Explores the nature of Clavicus Vile and his relationship to his hound. 

There were also non-Vvardenfell books added, including:

• Kari's Hit List, We're Even,  and Note to Nicolas - Each of these Thieves Guild books talks about interesting, but largely useless, artifacts found throughout Tamriel.
• Fantos Epilion's Journal - Want to learn more about Dreugh vomit? This book is for you. 
• Vastarie's Notes - Although cut from the final version of the game, these research papers feature some more examples of the Ayleid language. 

We do a lot of work here at the Library, but don't talk about it much. Let's fix that, shall we?

Over 60 new books from Elder Scrolls Online were added to the library this month. With the Morrowind chapter out in June, we're making an effort to get the caught up in preparation. Here are a few notable titles from the latest batch: 

• Knightsgrave: Legend or Legacy - the history of the Order of the Hour's first subterranean base.
• Cathedral Hierarchy - explains the different roles in the priesthood of Akatosh.
• Vazshara's Journal - what happened at the Maw of Lorkhaj? Full of potential mythic parallels. 
• Riekr of Wrothgar: Observations - first hand account of Riekr society.
• Rise of the Red Sails - the early story of Fortunata ap Dugal and her pirates.
• The Mysterious Mermaid of Anvil - explores the potential origins of the statue.
• Gold Coast Goblin Tribes - overview of some Gold Coast goblin tribes, just like it says on the tin.
• The Blade of Woe - an assassin's observations on this mythical weapon.

The storyline for The Elder Scrolls Legends first DLC, Fall of the Dark Brotherhood, is almost complete. One big thing we're missing is the dialog for the alternate paths. If you've got videos or screenshots of what happens if you pick the choices we don't have documented, please let Lady N know. 

Have you ever wanted to own a nice house in High Rock, or been curious about merish living arrangements? Learn more about the housing situation in 2nd Era Tamriel in IceFireWarden's interview of Housing Broker Canthion, played by Zenimax Online's Lawrence Schick. The Homestead update for Elder Scrolls Online is now live on all platforms, so after you're done reading you can get straight to decorating!

Thanks to the efforts of Tailin Sero and The Lusty Dovahkiin, this library is now home to five new pages about Mundrial writing systems: Elder Script (found on the Elder Scrolls themselves), Divine (found on the Eye of Magnus and Black Books of TESV: Skyrim), Dragon (found throughout the province of Skyrim), Mage Script (of Shalidor's Insights in TESV), and Ancient Nordic Runes (found on standing stones in Elder Scrolls Online). Each page includes a diagram of symbols, explanation of the system, and examples of its use.

All of these pages, along with the Daedric and Aldmeri alphabets, can be found in the Language & Arts section of the sidebar.

A happy New Life, one and all! We've added two new interviews about the Festival for this occasion. The first was conducted by Benefactor on behalf of Tamriel Foundry, and the second by IceFireWarden. 

Two new things in the Library recently.

One, the complete story of Elder Scrolls: Legends, the new card game by Direwolf Digital. 

Two, a new section called Cut Content, meant to house things that made it into the game's data files, but didn't make it into the actual playable game. Currently it contains unused arcane imagery from Skyrim's Shalidor's Insights book, as well as a wealth of information on southern Alinor and its politics from an early draft of Elder Scrolls Online. You can find this section under Special Collections in the main menu.

We've got a brand new in-character interview up with two of the writers from Zenimax Online. Leamon Tuttle, playing Heem-Jas and Hides-the-Ashes, indulges my questions about the Hist and Shadowscales respectively, while Lawrence Schick resumes the role of Vicecanon Heita-Meen to provide some answers about Black Marsh politics. There's lots of juicy new info in there, so be sure to give it a read. Big thanks out to the guys, as well as Benefactor and Jessica Folsom for facilitating the interview! 

Check it out right here. 

(As an aside, I know we've been quiet on the news lately, but there's always something going on behind the scenes) 

Most of the updates we do around here are small. Add some books here, update a page there. But this one is a big one. 

We've added a whole new section, called Items of the Second Era, into the People & Societies tab. It's a breakdown of over 2,200 items and their descriptions from ESO. They are sorted into provinces and provide a fascinating look into the daily lives of your average Tamrielic citizens, including their fashion, hygiene habits, and bedroom proclivities.
