Looking for a nice necromantic book

Post » Wed Dec 22, 2010 10:58 pm

Hip, I'm looking for some book/s involving the descriptions of undead (like "Legions off the Dead"), or the story of some witch/necromancer, or any text that would interest a witchhunter, because I'm adding several books to my char's house, and I'd like them to fit his class/lore.

Thx!

Well... In Morrowind there is Corpse Preparation 1-3. Very good book for necromancers and people looking for necromancers, for example, they never hide in Black Marsh, why? Because there are no good quality bodies around there. If you have Oblivion then I GUESS you could find the book in The Imperial Library or UESPWiki and then add it to your game via the Construction Set (may take some time and if you havnt done it before it may be a bit tricky)... Or perhaps find a mod which adds them.

Those two images are nice, but I'd rather want text, and info about necromancers, witches or vampires.

What game you playing?


Forgot to say, Oblivion :P

Oblivion's a little harder to find some books. There was this book (I'm sure someone else here can scrounge up the title, I'm in a bit of rush right now and don't have time to comb http://www.imperial-library.info/ for you.) about this desperate person in Skyrim trying to save a loved one, they visit an abandoned Mage's guild and the loved one gets turned into a zombie via necromancy. It's a bit rare in game. I'm sure UESP would be able to tell you where to find a copy if your not using the construction set.

I can't remember if Withershins is in Oblivion or not, but that is definitely relevent. I believe it is in. Plus its a fun book anyways.

I believe most of the texts and letters on Necromancy in Oblivion are attached to the Mage's Guild quest, so you'll encounter books like Necromancer's Moon as you progress.

For Vampires, you've got Immortal Blood, and I feel like there's another one.

That's about all off the top of my head.

Actually, no, the book MD is thinking of is The Exodus. Palla is something else.

It doesn't matter if it isn't in Oblivion...I mean, Legions of the Dead is a MW book also, and I've added it anyway...

I'll take a look at The Exodus, thx! I'll also (probably) include in his library any Vanilla books relating to necromancy.

Perhaps got something to do with the fact that the book is unreadable and of no use to a witchhunter without some very good education in weird languages? I am not even sure if there is anything of interest in that book (cus someone got to have translated it...)

It's in esperanto, and is about a newsletter or some such. Nothing to gain from it.

It would still be a great edition. The necromancers in Morrowind keep like a dozen copies of that book in their hideouts.

No, but the bible of the deep ones (along those same lines) would also be good.

and the bible of the deep ones is also just N'gasta! Kvata! Kvakis! in daedric script. I wish beth had actually come up with something for those two books.

A lot of people say it's a Sload book because of the Esperanto, but more than ever I'm starting to think the Deep Ones (besides the Innsmouth reference) are surviving Dwemer.

Surviving Dwemer? do you mean the Numidium's skin? cuz Yagrum is the only other one. I know that that is what Dwemer means (deep folk) but they can't be the subject of hackdirt's worship.

Compare N'gastas work to the bible of the deep ones, they say the exact same thing, just in esperanto. (actually, bible of deep ones cuts out wee bit of N'gasta kvasta kvakis, but they the text is otherwise exactly the same) There is no value to either text, unfortunately.

Aside from potentially naming three famous Sloadi Necromancers (is it Sloadi or is it just Sload? Sounds like its a job for a writer to weigh in on.).
