I know this sounds redundant. But hear me out. From the descriptions of the Scrolls given by people like Paarthurnaax, it's obvious that they're a reference to breaking the fourth wall. So what if the games themselves are Elder Scrolls? I'm not sure how many games/spinoffs/DLCs there are total, but I have a feeling that if you added them all up, you would get around eighteen to twenty, depending on whether you counted DLCs or various other things. In other words, the number varies depending on how you look at it from eighteen to twenty. Just as described in "An Accounting of the Elder Scrolls". The series is called The Elder Scrolls, and yet they don't seem to be important at all until Skyrim. That's because that's not the title of the series, it's just telling you what the games are! They are the Elder Scrolls!
