2. About this mod

  • ******************************************************
  • I made this mod for myself but I thought maybe others might like it.
  • This mod adds a chest with the books from all the games that came before and after Morrowind
  • Redguard,Daggerfall, Shadowkey,Oblivion, Knights of the nine,Shivering isles,Skyrim, and Elder scrolls online.
  • I copied them from the imperial library or uesp wiki

I wanted to do it in a lore frendly way so they are in a chest in Sandas Ancestral Tomb and guarded by a powerfull servant of hermaeus mora( a big ancestor ghost).

This mod just adds new items nothing to the levelled list so it should be compatibile with everything that doesn't change that exact spot.

9 books are skill books they are random as a reward for reading all those books.

Needless to say it contains "spoilers"

Version1. 2 just adds some books that I missed

LL version simply adds some of my books from before Morrowind timeline  like Eso Daggerfall to random books lists around the world you will need a leveled list merger like Wrye Mash

******************************************************

3. Playing the plug-in

******************************************************

Go to Sandas Ancestral Tomb, they are in a chest behind the big ghost.

******************************************************

4. Incompatibilities

******************************************************

Shouldn't be any

******************************************************

5. Save Games

******************************************************

It shouldn't mess up your savegames, but just in case, backup your original savegames.
