- "For the first time, the collected texts from the critically and commercially acclaimed fantasy video game The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim are bound together in three exciting volumes. Lavishly illustrated and produced, these titles are straight out of the world of Skyrim - and a must for any wandering adventurer."
- ―Book description
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Skyrim Library, Vol. III: The Arcane is a 232-page book published by Bethesda Softworks. It was released on September 13th, 2016. It contains printed stories from various books in Skyrim, along with concept art.
Physical appearance[]
The book has the same basic design as Volume 1 and Volume 2 with the notable difference of the colour scheme which is either dark brown or yellow brown, even so it has the same faint yet still very elaborate grooved pattern. The title of the book is written in gold at the bottom of the front cover but is hidden by the small dust jacket—which also says the title, but it is in black, and the jacket is mostly silver, excluding an image of a red wax seal of the Imperial Dragon. The back cover contains yet another Imperial Dragon, but no other detail. The side of the book holds an Imperial Dragon, and the title of the book stylized in golden lettering: "The Skyrim® Library: Volume III - The Arcane."
Contents[]
The inside cover—front and back—holds a map of the province of Skyrim, the same one most commonly seen in-game. The next several pages include the copyright information and the Table of Contents —alongside which are two pieces of concept art, one of a wizened old king on a stone throne holding a bloody broadsword and another one showing the Soul Cairn—listing sixty-six chapters, as follows.
