I know many of the more experience writers do not like to repeat themselves when explaining lore. This thread is dedicated to the promotion of lore awareness.

Post facts, details, or anything else you feel other posters need to know before posting.

I encourage newer writers to read what the more experience writers have to say before discussing lore.

Here is a cite that has information on the lore and history of the Elder Scrolls
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Main_Page

Why not visit the lore forum? and the imperial library is a much better source of lore than the uesp.

So your actually saying that you want all the lore of the elder sctolls to be written in this thread?

oh boy, have I got the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1112211-how-to-become-a-lore-buff/s for http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/15282-elder-scrolls-lore-faq/. And have a http://imperial-library.info/, while we're at it.

There's a heck of a lot of important lore, for any would be lore buffs. I'd suggest going on over to the lore section. I learned quite a bit from people debating/discussing. Also, just read a lot of in game books.

And don't use UESP for lore finding, unless it involves reading an in-game book. Great site for the workings of the game, bad for lore. Once you go fan speculation, things will appear wrong, inaccurate, or misinformed when treated as fact.

Yes, thanks Lady N, best advice for the OP.
