Tribute to Lore Sites


While there are countless Elder Scrolls Fan Sites, two of them desserve a special mention, being among the oldest Elder Scrolls Sites.

I still recall going to them when I was playing Daggerfall back then. Those sites collect Lore and memorablia on all the great games of the series!

I will do a quick presentation of both sites.

The Unofficial Elder Scrolls Pages
(UESP)

Maintained by Dave Humphrey since 1995 and moving to a new site under construction.

Dave also brought us the House & furniture store for Morrowind, which no doubt was the inspiration for the new TES4 house system, which is a hugue step beyond Daggerfall's Houses.

With Ghostwheel, he was one of the main contributor of Morrowind utilities programms, providing both a texture utility and a complete game editor.

This site was perhaps the Ancestral Guardian of today's mod repository. Well organized with section for each game, it almost seem a museum full of memorablia.

Each Game section contain:

  • Walkthrough
  • Bestiary
  • Factions
  • Gods
  • Maps
  • Useful files
  • Utilities

As well as a lot more info and goodies than I could possibly describes here.

The Imperial Library
(TIL)

The site originaly known as Xanathar's Library started in 1998 by Xan.

Today the site is maintained by those collectively known as the scholars: Xan, Qwerty, Raptormeat (Aldrien's Chalice), B, Attrebus and Sinder Velvin.

The main focus of this site is Lore and Books. It contain virtually every book present in current or previous Elder Scrolls Games, as well as a powerfull search engine.

Some of the goodies included on this site are:

  • All Books
  • All Games Storylines
  • Extensive Cathography section
  • Art Galery (Game Artwork)
  • Focussed Lore sections, including in-depth analysis
  • Exclusives interviews
  • It even got a comparative Bestiary (Nirn Lore section)

It could be of interest to the reader that The Elder Scrolls now have some entries at Wikipedia:
