Today's chapter on Auridon is a short one, covering the early history of the Summersets, daedra summoning, and Altmeri visual culture, as well as letting us be part of Ayrenn's return to the Isles. Flaccus, our hero, once again manages to get himself kicked out of a province due to his inability to hold his liquor.

Head on over and read it right here.

Journey to the northern red deserts of Elsweyr in today's Emperor's Guide update. In between getting himself into trouble, Flaccus gives us many new notes on Khajiiti culture, history, architecture, and religion. Goblins, ogres, and the Knahaten flu are also discussed. 

As always, you can find the Emperor's Guide in the sidebar under the Pocket Guides heading, or by clicking right here. Enjoy!

Rotten Deadite, a staple on /r/teslore, has relaunched the Whirling School with all new, very in-depth analysis of the 36 Lessons of Vivec and a nice selection of introductory materials. So if you're confused by the Sermon's content, or would just like to see new meanings and references you've not thought of before, head on over.

As you might have noticed, the Cartography section has been completely reworked. The maps are now more clearly arranged and labeled, with big thumbnails and a division between official and fan-made maps. The section has also been updated with regional maps from Elder Scrolls Online. 

In today's Emperor's Guide update, Flaccus travels to Black Marsh. Much of this chapter involves dispelling or confirming stereotypes about the province, and although the author does not get to travel very deep into the province, we get a considerable number of sidebars covering the history of the Argonians, their culture, their relationship with the Hist, and the mysterious group known as the Shadowscales.

Today, 12 years ago, Xanathar chose to abandon the Dragonlance section of Xanathar's Library, and the modern Imperial Library was born. To honor this occasion, we've updated the About Us section with a timeline of the major events of TIL and Elder Scrolls in general. You'll noticed that the actual birth of the Library was on September 1st, 1998, but you can't blame me for being eager to celebrate :) 

If you're looking for an even bigger blast from the past, check out our backup of The Essential Site. It was one of the first, and best, early Elder Scrolls sites, and many of the books and obscure texts which are now housed here began their life there. 

In addition to all of that, we've added two Redguard-related interviews conducted by the now-defunct AdrenalineVault. Although they don't really contain lore information, they do give a fascinating look into the mentality and function of Bethesda Softworks in 1998, before they made it big. Check them out here and here. 

The next installment in the book is now online. Called Stonefalls and the Deshaan, it covers the middle section of the Morrowind mainland, consisting primarily of the lands of Great House Dres and Indoril. This is a fairly brief chapter, reviewing much of the information we previously learned in TES3 (such as Ashlanders and the prophet Veloth) and updating it with new Elder Scrolls Online information. 

Go ahead and check it out!

The Skyrim section of the Emperor's Guide is now uploaded. In addition to the expected complaints about the fridgid temperature of the province and the boisterous nature of its inhabitants, we learn a great about the history of ancient Skyrim, including a very nice Imperial counterpoint to the Aldudaggas. Surprisingly, our noble hero manages to mostly stay out of trouble. 

Read about all that and more right here. 

The next section of the Emperor's Guide is now available. Named Northern Bangkorai and the Mountains, it covers the Orcs of the Daggerfall Covenant and the Reachmen plaguing the region. In addition to insights into both those cultures, we get to learn a bit more about the Daedra and Mannimarco, and are introduced to Vanus Galerion, the founder of the Mage's Guild. He turns out to be kind of a jerk. 

You can find it right here, or in the sidebar under the Pocket Guides heading. Many thanks to laurelanthalasa for transcribing this section. 

As seen on r/teslore a selective bunch of people started a podcast on youtube. It's about lore and stuff and kinda interesting. I'd strongly recommend to lend it your ear for a while.
