I am new to the game and a Dunmer - where do I find different styles as Obsidian is all I have?

    You can find them by search random urns, heavy sacks, and such. Or you can buy most style/motifs on crown store for real cash.

    The blue motifs are pretty cheap in most guild stores also. If you do not want to do the searching.

    I've been playing for a month or so. I got all the 9 base races motif books mostly by stealing but I also purchased a few of them from public annoucements and from guild merchants.

    I think a blue motif book sells for about 250g right now. Buying the 8 other base races ones would cost you only 2,000g or so. I think it's pretty cheap if you have money to spare.

    Now the purple ones it's another matter completely :*

    Just loot all manner of containers and you're bound to find the purple motif's eventually.

    I would stay away from barrels though. I've found plenty of purple Motif's in furniture, backpacks, heavy sacks, smaller sacks, etc. I've never found one in a barrel. All I find in barrels is food/provisioning items.

    I've found the Barbaric, Primal, and Daedric Motif's in this manner, and if you're in the "right" places, it will also help you raise your Legerdemain skill. ;)

    Motiv books seem most common in furniture and backpacks from what I can tell.
    Dwemer pages are in all kinds of dwemer containers.
    Sacks, crates, barrels on the other hand, those I have yet to find one in...

    Just do a lot of thieving, and you will stumble over some in due time.

    I advise not to buy blue racial motif books with gold as a new player. You will find them sooner or later, buying them is a waste of money IMO. Use that gold to buy a horse and inventory/bank upgrades.

    Thanks guys\gals for all the feedback. As I am a patient man and scream like a little girl about to watch a disney film when finding decent loot I am going to try and explore and thieve the motifs

    Plus deconning any dunmer style item will have a good chance of giving you obsidian.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis
