"Nutmeg, when taken in large amounts, could give strange visions, and in higher doses, death" - Lord of Souls by Greg Keyes
Nutmeg got mentioned in the book I'm reading.

We received a review copy of The Elder Scrolls: The Official Cookbook Vol. 2. While we've yet to make any of the meals from it, we have read it. The cookbook is written from an in-universe perspective, from a young chef adventuring across Tamriel to learn more about cooking.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bd458ba1051d7494b0f24dab6a766399/92f8c5545b885652-a0/s540x810/412d8038988250e97ebe414b425d1182e659e0b8.jpg)
There were a lot of little details that were very interesting to us from a lore perspective, this book legitimately gives us one of the largest looks at life in the Fourth Era across Tamriel. Very surprisingly, it even seemingly confirms the events of one of Skyrim's questlines.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/b6e29b2ef41da2badce02d3e5fca9ee7/92f8c5545b885652-3f/s540x810/08f263a1a8a788425ad20929d8c3344be45f043b.jpg)
We were particularly surprised that it gave us a look into some of the regions that it did, like the Summerset Isles (although we can't show you previews from those pages yet). And this book can be added to the growing list of evidence that others are aware of M'aiq the Liar.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/2034b685614741fdb88bd403393e7105/92f8c5545b885652-e2/s540x810/280882d5f3c71746598ba70e64414dd9f5b56491.jpg)
There was even a surprising segment that explored a very niche lore topic that was of interest to one of our editors (can't show you the preview from that one yet either).
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/bd458ba1051d7494b0f24dab6a766399/92f8c5545b885652-a0/s540x810/412d8038988250e97ebe414b425d1182e659e0b8.jpg)
It's kind of strange that one of the most common complaints about recipes are the unnecessary stories that get attached to them, but for this book it was one of the highlights for us. Ironically, this cookbook made us really hungry for them to release more official Elder Scrolls books.
You can find the publisher's official list of links to this book here, and it should be released officially very soon.

I'm an artist, and my friend who is obsessed with Skyrim (the reason why I even play the game) had a birthday this month. I was scrolling online to see if I could order something for them and found the cheap, made-to-print spiral notebook version of the Oghma Infinium and thought... I can do that, but better. So I did.
I took a few creative liberties and obviously it's not EXACT but my friend thinks it's cool and I think it's cool so. There it is.

Early on in the Mages Guild's existence they started a summer reading program aimed at children. It functioned not only to boost awareness of and membership to the guild, but also to encourage critical thinking and research to children, particularly on magical subjects, as well as boost childhood literacy rates.
They kept the program up for many years until it became a victim of bureaucratic nonsense and got cut for "budgetary reasons" during the guild's decline.

I finished Lord of Souls last night. Read 200 pages in one sitting. What an incredible book! The themes of love and friendship in it were absolutely wonderful. It touched on all different types of love too, not just romantic, and it didn't treat platonic love as if it was lesser than romantic. That was awesome.

Annoying pet peeve of endgame is how many people misspell Zenas' Empowering Disc (I can tolerate Zenas but I will not stand for people calling it Zena), but only partly for the typo reason.
The real reason is they don't even know who Morian Zenas is. Like hey that's my niche lore character whose only appearance for years was in lore books and, of all things, the crafting motif books from the base game that also tell an insane story about a love triangle between him and Divayth Fyr of all people competing for the attentions of a woman, until Fyr trapped Zenas in a apocrypha to get rid of the competition.
Put some RESPECT to his name! And his disc!
#i have been mad. for the last year and a half. that his in game quest in apocrypha doesnt reference the crafting motif books at all#mister zenas i understand youre insane now from looking at a black book but do you wanna go to Vvardenfell with me#so we can beat this guy up for you?#please?#morian zenas#divayth fyr#please tell me someone else knows about the crafting motif books. im begging you all to read them#eso#elder scrolls online#DO YOU ALL UNDERSTAND DIVAYTH IS RIZZING UP SOME IMPERIAL RESEARCHER LADY IN THE CRAFTING MOTIF BOOKS?

The Daedric Alphabet
"I tire of all spell scrolls I come across saying Woe Upon You. Why not something nicer, like Joy Upon You?"
- Seeks-For-Knowledge
The Daedric alphabet is used by both the Dunmer and the Daedra, the Dunmer using it as a remnant from a time when they worshipped the Daedra, before the Battle of Red Mountain in the First Era.
Exceptions
The letters Xayah (X) and Yahkem (Y) are sometimes omitted in scrolls and books, leaving only a blank space where the letter would be. They appear more commonly in banners and signs.
Writing styles
Daedric is not always written from left to right. On occassion it is written from up to down instead. Some places even write it upside down or mirrored, though this is less common. However, the most interesting way to write it is the decorative way often used in signs and banners, where the letters can overlap each other and vary in size, though the starting letter tends to be the largest, and different in colour than the rest.
Traveler's advice: If you ever journey to Morrowind, learning the basics of the Daedric alphabet can really enrich your journey, and also lessen the humiliating need to ask for directions when standing right by signs written in Daedric.
#tes#the elder scrolls#important notice: my handwriting can be flawed as I am a self-taught learner#it has been a while since i journeyed in morrowind. my ability to read the daedric alphabet is growing rusty#maybe it is time to book another trip#certainly the easier way than finding my way to another daedric domain. it is more common than one might think.#daedric ruins often have inscriptions in daedric as well but i recommend not to stay and study them unless you are certain there are no#daedra approaching you.

Would you like for there to be more Elder Scrolls novels written? If you would, what would you like to see in them?

A giant mystery box from the US? What could it be? None other than more fantastic work by @scrollsnsketchbooks, and some original art by Ry (nicatorshields on Instagram) that graced the pages of my brand new SECOND EDITION cookbook! And my precious worldbuilding compendium!! All bound in leather with SILVER pages oh my!
My gratitude also goes out to @thana-topsy and @icicleteeth for contributing their incredible art skills to the recipe book.
I have the best friends and fan community in the world and from the bottom of my heart I'd like to thank all 11k+ of you who never stopped believing in me. Long live Tastes of Tamriel! 🖤
