Tales of the Mad God
The 16 Accords of Madness
Introduction
Oblivion and Skyrim introduced a book series called the 16 Accords of Madness. The Accords are tales of Sheogorath competing against, tricking, and outwitting the other Daedric Princes. But only volumes 6, 9, and 12 were written.
This mod adds 13 new stories to complete the series, and the original volumes 6, 9, and 12. Most are distributed among the Vvardenfell booksellers, and speak to them about the series to learn of a few more NPCs who may have volumes.
