What are black books? A bit of history.
black books (orig. Black Books) - unique books related to the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora.
- Each Black Book is associated with a certain part of the Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora's Oblivion plan: after reading the first pages, the hero will move to Apocrypha . Those who have observed the process of reading the Black Books note that the reader becomes translucent, since he is simultaneously in Nirn and in Oblivion.
- Reading the Black Book on Solstheim takes the hero to Apocrypha. The part of the Apocrypha attached to each Black Book is divided into several sectors corresponding to the chapters of the book. Once you complete the first chapter, you can get into the second. The Black Books contain great knowledge, but only a valiant and intelligent hero who has managed to go through all the trials will get it. If Dovakin reads the Black Book while in Apocrypha, he will return back to Solstheim.
- The Black Books can only be read in Solstheim. Attempting to read them outside the island will result in the message: "A vision of Solstheim floats past your eyes and disappears". After the inventory is closed and a small earthquake occurs, while nothing happens to the hero.
- Nobody knows where these books came from. Some say they were written at different times different people. Some books are from the future and some are from the past.
Each book has a weight equal to unit and worth 2000 septims. All books allow you to choose one of three special abilities(except for the book awakening dreams”, which can reset the ability points of any skill for one dragon soul), which can be changed by re-reading the book.
While traveling through Solstheim, you can come across madman who will shout something about a mysterious book.
