How much of the Lore do you guys know?

JamieAubrey

I myself know very little but I'm willing to learn more

What's a good source to start ?

Tryxus

UESP and Imperial Library

Turelus

UESP is my go to, there are also the Shoddycast videos on YouTube which are shot bites of lore.

Season 1

Edit: Also boo for Jamie stealing my first in this category, I have a forums rep to keep up you know!

I know a little bit. Still lots to learn. Some of the sources out there are questionable though. Imperial Library is excellent.

Pretty much this. I recommend picking a race or a topic you want to know more about to start with, and research that (UESP usually cites sources for its general blurbs, so you can see the source material they got it from). And read the books you find when you're playing the games if you aren't already since that's what a lot of the stuff on the wiki is. Beyond that do what you're doing; ask questions.

Somewhere in between none and all of it

Before I found UESP, I read almost any book in TES III

I understood nothing xD

AzraelKrieg

I check UESP and the Elder Scrolls Wikia from time to time to keep my knowledge up should a question arise.

COFFAN

I used to listen to "the elder lore" podcast... it was interesting... but then I quit playing the game and stuff... but I'm back... wish I had the time and patience to read all the lore books I find in game

Yeah, UESP is definitely the goto place for Lore.

There's a PDF of all the books in Skyrim floating around somewhere, very helpful for a start. Has all the older lore that's still in game. Thought someone was trying to make a PDF of the ESO specific books, but not sure if that ever happened.

Uesp is the place to go if you want to avoid any fake stuff

JamieAubrey

Thanks for all the replies guys, will check those out

That's only because Kirkbride was bombed out of his skull on nicotine and caffeine when writing.

Played thes games for years. Use to keep lore notes as I played. I still have them somewhere. My friends and I would pen and paper roleplay adventures. I miss being that young and happy.

I love how many people seem to think this, but I'm actually not a UESP admin. Just a contributor

Imperial Library is great. There are also the Tales of Tamriel and Skyrim history print books available for sale that contain in-game books. They're for sale individually now but some boxed sets are available for pre-order for a release later this year.

Glarin

I mostly know about daedra and creationism but very little about societies and culture.

This explains so much.

CHIM is like nirvana. Tiber Septim used CHIM to change Cyrodiil climate from jungle to grasslands and deciduous forests... I mean Vivec had sex with Molag Ball and get CHIM in return to do something I forgot. When you achieve CHIM you are back in time before Aurbis and you can change something. Yeah I know a lot! Winged Twillights are made by Azura, Ogrims by Malacath, Dremoras by Mehrunes Dagon, Hungers by Boethia. I'm genius, I know...

This is basically it. Oh, you forgot the Wheel!

I'd recommend reading up on the timeline. Give it a quick look through, or go in depth. Lots of characters, events and places are mentioned in this way and you can grasp the evolution of the Elder Scrolls series at the same time. I use the Elder Scrolls Wiki for this, but UESP is also very good.

Don't try and absorb everything at once, there is a huge amount of lore. Just take it bit by bit.

Between my brother and I we can have a discussion of ES lore that covers a wide variety of content. If you want to learn more, try one of the oldest and most popular resources for ES lore:

ArchMikem

Look up a Wiki for Elder Scrolls and start reading. Click on links for interesting things in the articles and read those articles. Just spend a good few hours doing nothing but that, what I usually do.

altemriel

not much, sometimes I read books in ESO, sometimes I watch lore videos on youtube, but not often
