Skyrim 10th Anniversary: An impossibly complete volume of lore from twisting pathways of Apocrypha.

An impossibly complete volume of lore from twisting pathways of Apocrypha.

Oghma Infinium: This magical tome of knowledge was penned by the wizard Xarxes and records the unimaginably vast information revealed to Xarxes by Hermaeus Mora, daedric prince of knowledge. Reading from this skin-bound tome instantly gives the reader a greater understanding of a selection topics, but the entire book is too vast to be fully absorbed by a sane mind and therefore the reader can only glean a small number of the secrets contained in the many pages of the tome.

As far as magical books go, the opened pages of the Oghma Infinium as it appears in Skyrim work pretty well as any generic magical book or tome of forbidden knowledge. Drawing interesting but meaningless magical runes is far more difficult for me than many other types of details. I always wonder how other fantasy artists approach drafting visually convincing magical texts.

On the sixth day of Skyrim,
tenth anniversary,
limitless knowledge,
one dragon priest mask,
a Talos icon,
knee seeking arrows,
Golden Dragon Claw,
and a helmet of iron and horn.

Two more days in the eight days of Skyrim’s tenth anniversary. Tomorrow brings us back toward the neck with an item I assume almost every Skyrim player uses for a long time.

Be excellent to everyone.
