User:Rezalon/Sandbox

This sandbox is being used to list Elder Scrolls media, sorted by in-universe chronological order. Because of the extensive amount of material set in the Elder Scrolls universe, this list is separated into sections by each respective era and overarching plot.

This list excludes (unless stated why otherwise):

• Add-ons, DLCs, or patches that introduce content to the base game as complementary gameplay and quests:

• Daggerfall's CompUSA Special Edition
• Morrowind's plugins
• Oblivion's downloads
• Skyrim's Hearthfire and Creations
• ESO's Craglorn and Homestead
• Legends' puzzles

• Media that could take place at any point in the timeline or its respective game's setting (Castles, etc.).
• Media that doesn't follow an in-universe narrative (most game manuals, art books, and strategy guides, The Skyrim Library, Tales of Tamriel, etc.).
• Extra-canonical, apocryphal works (ie: unofficial lore), and lost (ie: the Daggerfall CES cinematic) or cancelled media.
• Media that has yet to be fully catalogued on this wiki.

• Although the four books listed above are sorted in chronological order, from when each book starts, the suggested reading order is in reverse:

• A character encountered near the conclusion of Agents and Reagents later appears early on in The Improved Emperor's Guide.
• Events that occur during the conclusion of The Improved Emperor's Guide are later mentioned in Kyne's Challenge.
• As Gathering Force lacks a general storyline and only mentions characters from the previous books, it is suggested to read this book last.
