The one that explains that Alduin is not Akatosh. I forget what it is called. You can find a copy in the college of winterhold, archemage quarters I think.

I dont remember the title. but its a book about the Falmer and how they became what they are today.
Its just tragic.

And there are two books, one that claims Alduin is Akatosh and one that is adamant he is not.
I cant help but feel thats a little jib on us forum go-ers, who have had that discussion for months here.

I like the Dwemer books (I really like the Dwemer in general), but I haven't read too many others.

Did you also find the second book written by an Imperial that is quite adamant in that Alduin is Akatosh?

3 Thieves is very good. I find most of the books interesting. I love to have some downtime between dungeons and go to an inn, buy some mead and hire a bard to sing me a song. I chill by the fire with my booze and book and have a great time =)

The Legend Of Red Eagle, Three Thieves, in Three Thieves there is a character named Sathis. there is also a fighter's guild member named Sathis. did the ending in that book really happen? is it the same person? concidence? I THINK NOT.

I never noticed that! It has to be true... there's no such thing as coincidences in Skyrim...

My heart broke when I first read it, and it still does. The poor, tragic Falmer.

And there are two books, one that claims Alduin is Akatosh and one that is adamant he is not.

Yes! That is exactly what I thought when I read them, as I read both one right after the other. I'm still convinced that that is the case.


As far as my favorite book? I have no idea. I really like Dwarves v1, v2, and v3, as well as Dwemer Inquiries Vol I, II, and III. If we're including every book that has been in TES, and not just Skyrim, I'd say the Egg of Time is my favorite. Every time I look at it I get a sense of wonder and an urge to learn more.

All the books are awesome though, and I am very thankful to all the people who took the time to write such fascinating stories and bits of history about Tamriel and Mundus in general.

I actually wasn't being sarcastic but I could see how you thought I was being sarcastic... two people with the same name never happens... ever...
