The Elder Scrolls Online Library – Tales of Tamriel: Volume 1 The Land.
Bethesda and Titan Books have announced new books collecting Elder Scrolls lore into epic encyclopedias, chronicling the history, art and legends of the game's famous fantasy world.
The Land takes readers on an adventure throughout the war-torn landscapes and battlefields of Tamriel, featuring a horde of in-game texts and exclusive artwork. Lavishly bound and produced, this series of books is the definitive guide to lore from the Elder Scrolls Online.
Tales of Tamriel will be split into two volumes: “The Land” and “The Lore”, charting the ongoing struggles between the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Ebonheart Pact – as well as the deadly invasion of Daedric Prince Molag Bal. Each volume contains a vast collection of in-game lore along with nearly one hundred never-before-seen pieces of art illustrating the lives, the land and the lore of Tamriel at war. This one is Vol 1: The Land. Hardcover: 232 pages.
The books, according to Bethesda VP of Marketing and PR Pete Hines, are a logical move considering the work the company puts into creating content to flesh out the games. “One of the most important aspects of The Elder Scrolls series is the lore,” he said. “To have so much of its history chronicled in this way, accompanied by art sourced from the games, is very cool. We're excited to be working with Titan on this project, and for fans to see how much detail goes into the worlds our development teams create.”
Also being produced – The Skyrim Library, with 3 volumes focusing on The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
