As the title says. Go! Can be across any title in the series

My series favorite is definitely A Dance in Fire, from Waughin Jarth

    Although it's not really a story per se, mine would be Report: Disaster at Ionith by Lord Pottreid. As one of the few insights into Akavir we have I've always been drawn to it more than other books.

    My favorite story from ES lore? Mm.. I really enjoyed reading Palla, The Real Barenziah and 2920. All of those were so fun to read. Oh and one from the Imperial Library, Fight Three, "The Snow Whale and the Dirtbird".

    36 lessons of Vivec
    A dance in fire
    Barenziah's (all of them)
    2920 series.

    As individual books, "The Firmament" (the first one I read in Morrowind), "Darkest Darkness" and especially "I was summoned by a Mortal"
    Sarcasm is something too serious to be taken lightly

    I was born with the wrong sign
    In the wrong house
    With the wrong ascendancy
    I took the wrong road
    That led to the wrong tendencies
    I was in the wrong place at the wrong time
    For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme
    On the wrong day of the wrong week
    Used the wrong method with the wrong technique

    I remember reading the Argonian Account books while playing TES4 a longgggg time ago and they were my favorite since then because of how well of an image of Black Marsh I got. I've actually never read the prequel A Dance In Fire before I read TAA. I actually have physical copies of the TES books and I started reading A Dance In Fire out of that, but never finished even though it's short lol

    2920. But it's soooooo long :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I think it ties closely with The Real Barenziah and King Edward for length.

    I believe this one is called The Exodus, also from Waughin Jarth.

    Jarth writes some interesting stuff, tbh. The Argonian Account is also one of his really good ones.

    There is a book that I absolutely LOVE:

    The Ravings of Fenroy

    Hands down my favorite; I've only ever found it at some out-of-the-way campsite in the Shivering Isles in TES IV. This book actually mad me laugh. A lot.

    But then, I am a dark, twisted, and quite possibly disturbed person :D

    Look it up and read it, and imagine reading it at 3am, as you're just going about your business running errands for Sheo. It was unexpected and idiosyncratic... and funny!
