Planeswalker

A series of lore-focused books I wrote for Skyrim. It now consists of a full novella in nine parts and two short films.

RODRYK'S BOOK - PLANESWALKER AND OTHER STORIES

Special edition is here

Highly recommended:

12th Century Bookfont (the font used in my screenshots. The formatting might be weird without this) Book UI Plus (adds page numbers! Very useful for remembering you)



realistic paper

(or another high resolution paper mod)

introduce

On this page you will find my Skyrim portfolio. Most deal with some aspect of esoteric lore. All of this is very friendly, but sometimes deviates from the "wiki-accurate" description of my own view of how real scholars interpret source material. I try my best to write from the perspective of someone who actually exists in Tamriel, who certainly doesn't have access to every piece of knowledge about the universe, so please excuse any deviations from the wiki page.

I was planning on including these in a full mission at some point, including a romp through some Oblivion planes (or even going so far as to write a full script for this mission), but I haven't had enough time lately so instead, I'm publishing the books myself.

I have more ideas for some other character books and may upload them here as I finish them here, so if you like my work, follow the page!

Books and where to find them

All books can be found in Arcanaeum Academy and are also added to level lists (via scripts), so you should see them occasionally in the world and at vendors. Additionally, there are some placed around the world in a lore-friendly way that should blend seamlessly with the vanilla game.

Planeswalker：

A story of adventure, forbidden knowledge, and perseverance in the face of great evil for the sake of love. Follow Alistair as he and his sister Cumbria embark on a journey not seen since the days of Morian Zenas, into the depths of Annihilation itself...

It is approximately 21,000 words long (the length of a short story), and is split into 9 books.

Undo Dawn:

Provocative? Maybe. Rebellious? Some would say so. A compiled critique of Talos' established views on death and divinity, as well as theories regarding the Thalmor's true goals.

A book that may be slightly longer than other game books.

Ranking of men:

The study of a race is examining the soul of all ages. Sometimes historical, otherwise metaphysical, the book is bound to be the subject of controversy.

Also a book, and only slightly longer than standard.

Compatibility etc.

Book placement may conflict with mods that edit the following cells:

Arcanaeum

heimsk house

Candlehearth Hall

Thalmor Headquarters

The conflict may be minor, but if you have a mod that edits these areas and is concerned, download the "Rodryk's Books - No Placement" file instead of the main file.

Load RodryksBooks.esp above any lighting modules in the load order.

Other than that, this mod should be compatible with almost anything. Adding to the level list is handled entirely by the script, so there are minimal logging conflicts.
