Bronkiin wrote: Lord of Souls and Infernal City are OOG sources. They are Canon. A small addition to this point, the two books were comissioned by Bethesda to tie-in Oblivion and Skyrim, and reviewed before publication to ensure they didn't contradict the canon. They also introduced major plot elements for Skyrim (the Thalmor, the Dominion, the Red Year, etc) years before the game was released.
