Missing Lorebook for Eidetic Memory: "Nahirah's Journal" (Post Completion of Associated Quest)

Eidetic Memory Lorebook: Nahirah's Journal
Should be placed in a house in Satakalaam in Alik'r Desert but it is not there for me, must be a bug with either phasing or because I finished the quest without picking it up. Looking up the associated quest, one of the quest objectives is to read the journal so it could either be that it bugged out or is a case of a quest item being placed in your inventory which you miss out on if you do not interact with it.
Reference number for bug report during Dragon Bones PTS: 180126-001095
Reference number for bug report on live post Dragon Bones launch: 180429-002576

This lorebook is missing for me post quest completion, and has been missing since launch.
I am missing it on a character I did the quest on probably around four years ago - just after the game launched.

This was also posted half a year back in the "Eidetic Memory Bugs/Comments/Help"-megathread:
https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/270549/eidetic-memory-bugs-comments-help/p1
The post recieved attention from community manager Gina Bruno, in September 2017, but since then I have heard very little about the lorebook reported bugged in here.

As derived from the reference numbers I personally reported this bug during the PTS for Dragon Bones aswell.

Lastly I would like to include a quote taken from the "Eidetic Memory Bugs/Comments/Help"-megathread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/comment/5082649#Comment_5082649 - page 45 comment number 1347.

This is the last lorebook I am missing to complete my collection.
Does anyone know a way to get a hold of this lorebook post quest completion?
Thanks in advance! :)

Nahirah's Journal is visible to me post quest, Satakalaam at Nahirah's house on the mirrored dresser 1st floor, wall opposite of the door. I most likely read the journal during the quest. It may be an issue with not collecting or reading the journal from your inventory as Zinaroth suggests if its not there.

So it seems that the user @inclinations has succes with the lorebook being where it is supposed to be post quest completion. I don't know if this user is willing to attach a screenshot of him showcasing it being at the location he described, but I have attached a screenshot in my bug report on live showcasing that it is definitely not in that location for me, as shown below:

Personally I suspect that I am in some kind of other instance than the user @inclinations due to me not interacting with some quest item during the quest, or because I completed it during a different patch than him. For me it is hard to tell...

I hope I can get some help in getting this bug squashed and the lorebook added to the game so that I can finish my Eidetic Memory lorebook collection.

Thanks in advance! :)

    Hi Zinaroth


    That's exactly where it is for me. I most likely finished this quest close to game launch way back in 2014.

    Wish I could be more help sorry, the book should be there for everyone that has finished the quest.
    Vet Maelstrom makes me cry.

    @inclinations this has been very helpful and underlines that there is a bug with the lorebook - I hope it gets handled soon.

    Thanks for taking your time to respond in this thread with evidence! :)

    Let's hope it gets fixed soon as we now have definitive proof of this lorebook being bugged. Would love to finish my Eidetic Memory come Summerset so I can just focus on the new Chapter. :D

    I have repeatedly reported this bug and it is still in the game since launch. This is the last remaining book for me besides the 3 non available books in Summerset. At this point I would be willing to pay a fee for a programmer to fix this error. Please fix the books! This bug is a direct result of failing the quest associated with it because of advancing the Main Quest in zone.
