The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books	comment	Tropes that apply to any Show Within a Show and In-Game Novel in The Elder Scrolls verse. Some are pure fiction, others tales based around historical events, while a select few are historical documents. Some people mentioned actually exist in one or more of the games, often as high-level skill trainers.All texts can be found at The Imperial Library fansite, as well as at The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages. There's even a smartphone app containing them.And yes, there are so goddamned many of them that they warrant their own. Just look at that list.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_128e9efd	comment	Honor Among Thieves: Confessions of a Thief and Honor Among Thieves both espouse this trope, pointing out that members of the Thieves' Guild help keep other members out of prison, warn them of dangers, provide training and supplies, and otherwise help each other out. The former book also describes the guild as a crime-regulator, cracking down on thieves who become greedy.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_13d20b89	comment	Immortals Fear Death: The Dremora interviewed in Spirit of the Daedra claims that even though daedra just resurrect in Oblivion every time their physical body is killed, the process of resurrection is apparently quite horrifying to go through and so they would prefer to avoid it as much as possible. He also claims that daedra simply cannot comprehend how it's possible for mortals to be aware that their deaths are both inevitable and permanent but not constantly be in despair because of it.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_1520ad7e	comment	Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: How the author of Confessions of a Khajiit Fur Trader got started at his profession. He and his brother tried to rob a caravan full of animal pelts and hides, and his brother died in the process. He couldn't take the whole body with him before the guards showed up, so he skinned it and took his brother's pelt to take home and bury later. When he went to fence the stolen merchandise, the fence spotted his brother's pelt and offered him three times what she paid for everything else combined. He had a brief moment of disgust, which soon gave way to greed, and it all went downhill from there.

She makes one with a banker where she bets twenty-five thousand gold that in 24 hours, his balls will be covered in feathers. Despite his paranoia, he manages to keep his balls feather-free and proudly allows the old lady to inspect his testicles for any feathers. Ultimately, though, while he has won the bet, she has the last laugh, because she made a even larger one hundred thousand gold bet with her son that she'll have the banker by his balls.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_19102429	comment	Twist Ending: Done wonderfully in The Mystery of Talara. Despite the book setting up Gyna as Talara, it's revealed she's actually Jyllia and Jyllia is Talara. In Palla, it turns out the mage did actually succeed in his attempts of resurrection, except that he had the names confused and instead of resurrecting the heroine he wished to meet, he brought back the monster that killed her. A marvelous one with The Charwich-Koniinge Letters. It appears at first that the titular Charwich had been murdered by a Daedric lord disguised as a mysticist, but those with a knowledge of the series (and especially Azura's Star) will find that very unlikely indeed... In Night Falls On Sentinel, Haballa takes Jomic out back to show him who she wants removed. Then a gust of air pushes back her cape, revealing that she's working for the King of Sentinel and Jomic just told her everything he needed to know to exact his revenge against him and his (now dead) companions, the last remaining element being Jomic's death. Haballa, with Jomic's advice on clubs and pain centers, starts beating Jomic in each center one by one.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_1b3b48f3	comment	David Versus Goliath: In 16 Accords of Madness - Volume VI, Sheogorath and Hircine challenge each other to summon beasts that will duel to the death; Hircine creates a mutated lycanthropic daedroth while Sheogorath chooses a songbird. The songbird perches on the daedroth's snout and tricks it into blinding itself with its own claws, then proceeds to taunt it with cheerful song as it tears itself apart trying to find and kill its prey. The story is a Whole-Plot Reference to one of Aesop's Fables, with the bird standing in for a fly and the daedroth for a lion, though it leaves out the part where the fly buzzes off bragging about its triumph and runs into a spider web.

At first he has to forge iron armor from anything metal in the fort not holding it together, then leather armor from the rotting carcasses of livestock, then bonemold armor from the hunks of muscle, fat, blood, and bone not used in the leatherworking. When the lord demands still more armor, the smith resorts to dismembering the slaves and using their bones and organs to create more bonemold.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_1e1afc1b	comment	Framing Device: Hallgerd's Tale consists of three fighters discussing who the greatest warrior in history was. The title character comes up with the tale of Pasoroth, a man who was more capable while wearing heavy armor than he was out of it. Vernaccus and Bourlor begins with a man grieving over the death of his cousin. This inspires one of his friends to ponder the nature of legacy, as a setup for a tale about a cowardly daedra whose dodging abilities became greatly exaggerated. Bone starts with two friends arguing whether great events and innovations happen suddenly through pure chance or gradually through hard work. A third friend offers his own position that they occur through extreme circumstances and tells the story of the invention of bonemold armor as an example. Feyfolken is presented as a parable a teacher delivers to his two students, who stay after class to ask questions about magical tools.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_222dc873	comment	Black Comedy: Essentially the entire point of the seven-volume story A Dance In Fire. A clerk from Imperial City is fired and, desperate, heads to Valenwood to sell building contracts to the Bosmer so they can fix their infrastructure after a war with the Khajiit. While he's there, horrible things happen to him and everyone around him on a regular basis. Among other things; he loses all his money very quickly, the war starts up again so he's constantly narrowly dodging bands of rampaging Khajiit, he encounters an ex-pirate who's miserable about the war having driven him into honest work, various things try to eat him (and there's a Running Gag about the cannibalistic Bosmer), and he's accosted by a poet unjustifiably convinced that he's found a fellow scholar of Bosmer verse and won't shut up about it. (Said poet is the source of the title.) Even when he survives and gets home safely with a new and more lucrative job in hand, the story has one more thing in store. After that, there is a four-volume sequel, The Argonian Account, where the clerk gets sent to Black Marsh. In Jokes, when asked by the judge why he killed his unfaithful wife, the Dunmer in question replies, "I considered it better to kill one woman than a different man every week."

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_251bbe0e	comment	Genre Blindness: The author of Wabbajack. Summoning Hermaeus Mora... risky, but fair enough; Mora generally doesn't screw over his summoners. Taking a summoning short-cut from a sketchy stranger? Never a good idea even in the real world. Not taking the instructions about cat-shaving and thunderstorms as a red flag? Shows a startling lack of basic and essential Daedrology knowledge. Not realizing he wasn't dealing with Hermaeus Mora even after the Prince he summoned looked nothing like Mora usually does and outright referred to himself as Sheogorath? Frankly, he was lucky he 'just' got driven insane and wasn't redirected to Molag Bal or Boethiah or something.

It looks impressive when the gladiator wearing it first puts it on, but when he has to fight in it in an arena that's been partially flooded to resemble swamp terrain (because the duel is meant for picking army equipment for a campaign in Argonia), the water extinguishes the fire magic on the blade and the combination of heavy armor and mud makes it almost impossible for him to move, resulting in an easy victory for the opposing gladiator, whose gear is less fancy but takes the terrain into account.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_2fa6b075	comment	God Save Us from the Queen!: One of the longer books is "The Wolf Queen," and it's about Potema, a ruthless woman who did everything she could to elevate herself and screw over everyone else. During the last part of her reign, she resorted to hiring tons of necromancers and daedra conjurers. One of her final acts was giving future emperor Pelagius III (then, just a boy) a small charm which would slowly erode his sanity as an adult, just to screw over him and his family after she was gone. She is mentioned in several other books, and (in undead form) shows up in Skyrim. By all appearances, she actually was that bad, although some of the specific things (such as arranging for Pelagius III's insanity) The Wolf Queen implies or outright says she was responsible for do not appear in other sources.

As of Online, there are hundreds of novels, manuals, guides, scripts, songs, journals, letters, notes, scrolls, and other documents covering a vast number of subjects (both fictional and non-fictional) and chronicling thousands of years of history and backstory for the land of Tamriel and beyond.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_4cccd2a9	comment	Mad Oracle: In Chance's Folly, the eponymous thief enlists the help of the strong but insane warrior Ulstyr Moresby to get through a tomb filled with traps and monsters to get the treasure at the end. He agrees and then rattles off a series of seemingly nonsense phrases. One by one, they start coming true, and at one point Ulstyr even addresses her as "Chance", even though she introduced herself by her real name and not her alias. Chance starts getting worried and wonders if the rumour that the insane are in communion with Sheogorath is true, and if he was feeding Ulstyr information. He was. "Chitin": Ulstyr showed up the next day wearing chitin armour. On the way to the tomb there was a massive rainstorm that soaked Chance but Ulstry stayed perfectly dry in his waterproof chitin. "Hot steel": Ulstyr used a sword enchanted with fire damage, which was effective against the Frost Atronachs in the tomb. "Fifty-three": When they reached the treasure room, there were fifty-three sacks of gold inside. "Walls beyond doors": When Chance entered the treasure room, the door slammed shut automatically. From her side, it was indistinguishable from the wall and thus couldn't be opened from that side. She was trapped. "Two months and back": Ulstyr left and came back to the tomb after two months, when Chance had long since starved to death. "Prop a rock": Ulstyr used a rock to prop open the door and stop it from slamming shut on him too, and took all the gold for himself.

While exploring the ship, he finds a sturdy locked box lying amongst all of the gold and treasures. He figures that whatever is in there must be really valuable, so he ignores everything else and spends a lot of time trying to open it, only to be massively disappointed when all it contains is two bottles of what appears to be wine (as well as the shattered remains of what were most likely more bottles). At that moment, his waterbreathing spell wears off because he was too focused on opening the box to pay attention to how long he was spending underwater. He can't make it up to the surface in time, and he drowns. When his body floats to shore a few days later, everyone is mystified by how he managed to drown while holding two waterbreathing potions.

Unfortunately, he never learned that accepting a gift breaks the conjuration and frees the dremora when he is given a black soul gem. Naturally, the story ends with him sealed inside that exact gem while the dremora is free to hunt down his mother, noting that he has an extra black soul gem to use...

The first author condemned them as the worst of the worst in his city's Wretched Hive and managed to at least get their name down before getting killed. The second author was his brother, who was not so lucky; he was murdered mid-word while writing down the name of assassin cult's deity. The third was the brother's wife, and this time around, the killer tries to complete the passage she was writing, attempting to convince the reader the group doesn't exist.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_a426ae28	comment	Multiple-Choice Past: The Night Mother, founder and leader of the Dark Brotherhood, has at least three different versions of her back story, told across three different works: Pellarne Assi, author of The Brothers of Darkness, believes the Night Mother to be a Legacy Character - there is no one immortal Night Mother from the Brotherhood's origin to the present day, rather it is a title passed from one leader to the next regardless of gender. Ynir Gorming's Fire and Darkness: The Brotherhoods of Death proposes that the Night Mother is an aspect of Mephala, Daedric Prince of Strife. When the Morag Tong were banned from practising her worship, she engineered a schism that caused the Tong to split into two, with those still willing to worship her becoming the Dark Brotherhood. The author of Sacred Witness, Enric Milres, claimed to have been personally granted an audience with the Night Mother, and by her own accounts, she started out as a low ranking member of the Thieves Guild who strangled her marks to make robbing them easier, and left to found her own guild when she decided that murder was more profitable than theft. He was found dead shortly after the work revealing this was published.

When Imperial do-gooders hear about the tragic circumstances of the backwards province of Black Marsh, they're happy to contribute large sums of money to build and improve roads, schools, and plantations. Scotti pockets their money and does utterly nothing about the requests. Within a year, the Imperial infrastructure in Black Marsh has decayed to the point of uselessness, the Argonians have switched back to their much more efficient native methods of transportation and farming, crime and slavery have dried up since there are no more Imperial caravans to rob and no more plantations that need slave labor, and Black Marsh is better off than it has been in forty years.

The Gold Ribbon of Merit features two men practising archery together, one of whom is acting like an insufferable Jerkass. He spends the whole story alternating between bragging about winning a gold ribbon of merit for archery and criticizing the other guy's technique and skill. After the other guy makes one last shot that goes way off-target and the Jerkass gets in one last condescending comment, the two of them call it a day and go home. The Jerkass then arrives home to find his window broken and an arrow sticking out of his beloved gold ribbon.

The Elder Scrolls In-Universe Books / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: In Three Thieves, an assassin partners with two thieves in order to heist a vault with them. To gain their trust, he teaches them some of his favorite methods for killing someone without giving them chance to scream or covering yourself in incriminating bloodstains. When he tries to scam them out of their shares after the heist is over, they use one of his own techniques to murder him in his bed. In the twelve-parter 2920: The Last Year of the First Era, Emperor Reman Cyrodiil III's paranoia that almost everyone he knows is plotting against him (which, frankly, isn't necessarily a bad assumption if you rule a Decadent Court) leads him to commit actions that eventually trigger a successful plot to get him assassinated.

In Tribunal, however, a character with the alias Plitinius Mero claims to be the author, and that Barenziah herself protected him from the Imperial family's retribution by reporting him dead while secretly offering him sanctuary.

In "The Argonian Account", Decumus Scotti is hired to overhaul the infrastructure of a trade network in Black Marsh, but his survey of the area shows him that Black Marsh is unsuited to roads, bridges, wagons or anything his Imperial backers expect him to invest in. So he quietly embezzles the stakeholder's investment for himself and leaves the network to collapse, and the Argonians return to their traditional methods of transporting goods which are more efficient and suited to Black Marsh.

According to game designer Ted Peterson, Jyggalag's name was added to that book in case Bethesda needed to introduce another Daedric Prince in a future installment. Movarth, the vampire hunter in Immortal Blood, appears in Skyrim as the lord of a vampire clan. It seems the book's narrator decided to turn him instead of killing him.

While he's there, horrible things happen to him and everyone around him on a regular basis. Among other things; he loses all his money very quickly, the war starts up again so he's constantly narrowly dodging bands of rampaging Khajiit, he encounters an ex-pirate who's miserable about the war having driven him into honest work, various things try to eat him (and there's a Running Gag about the cannibalistic Bosmer), and he's accosted by a poet unjustifiably convinced that he's found a fellow scholar of Bosmer verse and won't shut up about it. (Said poet is the source of the title.) Even when he survives and gets home safely with a new and more lucrative job in hand, the story has one more thing in store. After that, there is a four-volume sequel, The Argonian Account, where the clerk gets sent to Black Marsh.
