Does anyone know where I can find decent reading material on the history of Vvardenfell? I'm not very familiar with it, and I believe I recently saw something about the ashlands and other barren areas being turned that way due to some sort of magical battle or something (I don't remember exactly what happened). I guess I never really took much time in learning much of the history and lore, but now that i'm into modding, having a better understanding would help me out a great deal. So any suggestions?
