Daggerfall had a story about a dude who rode upon Akatosh' back because reasons.

The first two games had weird moments too. (Shiiiiiny dooooors)... inventory items that show books despite them not being in the game. And lets not even talk about the 10,000 characters (thats a conservative number) in Daggerfall. Arena is mostly proto-lore, only a handful of things from the games' lore were elaborated on in later games (such as the Blades and the Underking). The whole Talin business is pretty peculiar, through varying sources it is used to refer to General Talin Warhaft (a character who was locked away with Uriel), the PC's father, and the PC himself. I suspect some sort of mess-up while writing the game, in other words, don't pay it any mind if you don't want to.

As for King Edward, here's what the real author has to say

"These books should be regarded as historical novels, not official lore or history"
