So I'm not sure if there is a thread on this already (been absent from the forums for some time) but I have a question regarding the lore on Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora's realm. In the Dragonborn DLC, where the player gets to visit this realm multiple times, it is depicted quite differently than I imagined. I thought Hermaeus Mora's realm was just like an endless library of black-bound books, not a swamp with books stacked the create the walls and vile tentacle creatures lurking around.

Does Dragonborn DLC's depiction of the realm break/alter the lore? Is there anything that describes Apocrypha as either consistent with its representation here or different?

Thanks for all input!
