The Pocket Guide to the Empire is a series of pamphlets denoting the lore and traditions of every province in Tamriel at the time of their publication. They were printed by the Imperial Geographic Society. To this day three editions have been written. The second edition, however, remains unpublished.[UL 1]

The second edition was commissioned in 3E 331 by Empress Morihatha.[1] For unknown reasons the books remained unpublished.[UL 1] At least one extract of the second edition still exists.
