On the Daedric Alphabet (2007-09-25)

This blog post is sponsored by the Daedric letter for "O."

In my inbox, I received a question not too long ago about learning the Daedric Alphabet. When I spoke with Pete, I was pleasantly surprised to see that The Imperial Library is sharing the alphabet on their site. If you're dying to write your buddies, Unofficial Elder Scrolls Wiki has a great guide for studying the language.

Here's an interesting tidbit: speaking with Todd, he wanted to emphasize that officially there is no X or Y in the Daedric Alpabet, although a a few may have accidentally shown up in Morrowind. Now if I could only get a Cracker Jack-like decoder ring so I could start deciphering Todd's e-mails.

When did Serana get put to sleep? (2013-09-05)

The intention was that Serana went to sleep in the late second era, between the Reman and Septim empires. Her initial dialogue is just her surprise that there's an Empire in Cyrodiil, as there hadn't been when she went to sleep.

The existence and nature of Emperor Ami-el (2013-12-23)

Talked to folks at the office. This is how we have the events listed in our timeline:
1E 358 - Emperor Ami-El of Cyrodiil lends his forces to Skyrim in a military campaign against the Direnni Hegemony in the Western Reach. Anti-Aldmer sentiments rise as Skyrim loses more and more of Greater Bretony to the Direnni.
