Awesome! When it was announced that an Elder Scrolls book was coming, I was happy. I quite like me a good fantasy novel, and I love the world of Tamriel. It has now been revealed that The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City is getting a release date of November 24, with Bethesda informing us that you can pre-order now.
The Infernal City is about an evil floating city that has appeared in Tamriel and is raising the dead to slaughter the living. A young girl called Annaig and the Emperor’s son, Prince Attrebus, team up to rescue the land. It's being written by best-selling author Greg Keyes.
Check out the front cover, which looks rather classy, and let us know if you're buying it. I know I'll definitely be getting this. In fact, Bethesda should totally give it to me so I can review it. Bethesda! Make with the booky books!

Sold! All else sweet icing on the cake. And it sounds sweet indeed. Too bad no one does video game book/comic book reviews around here. I'd probably be more inclined to buy 'em. I only read the Halo series which was great but went South after #2. the comics were good though although didn't really do much but make me wish we got a game about being a civilan surviving the attack on Mombasa. Still waitin' on that.
Preordered.
I kid. Anything that will get people reading is a good thing.
Hell 90% of the Elder Scroll series story is setting, it's so incredibly rich you could make a novel out of all the short stories themselves. I mean how many of you knew the Ministry of Truth was actually the lost 3rd Moon that was stopped from crashing into the planet because the demi-god Vivec asked nicely not to destroy his city?! And the fact that the moons themselves are sentient entities themselves!
Hell we haven't ever set one foot or even looked upon the other continents that have their own races like Akavir. And we've only visited 4 out of the 16 planar worlds: The Deadlands (Oblivion traditional), Madhouse (Shivering Isles), Attribution's Share and the Pits.
I'm surprised Bethesda hasn't gone all out with the Elder Scrolls and done table top, pen & paper and lore books.
I'm working my way through book 4 of Ice and Fire right now, and I'm not sure if it would be wise to follow George R. R. Martin with this (that man is a hard act to follow), but in time I may pick it up. Maybe it'll make the wait for TESV a little less painful.
GooN, I think a good explanation for that would be, uhh...magic? That's usually a safe bet.
Me too
