    As an ES lore noob, I quite enjoyed their videos a few years back. I guess they could have shortened their videos a lot but explaining all the interconnectedness between characters and events and stuff I liked a lot.

    Do you just read wikis or are there actually books to read about TES lore?

      While there are a couple of novels, I have not read them. I asked one of the guys responsible for the core worldbuilding about them once, and he said he couldn’t get past the galley proofs so… not a high recommendation lmao

      I learned from the source. The in-game texts. 99% of the lore you can find in the wikis is whatever random person’s subjective interpretation of those in-game texts. It’s better to read through them directly and come to your own conclusions.
