The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel - Vol. I: The Land

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tales of Tamriel - Vol. I: The Land is a 232-page book published by Bethesda Softworks on April 21, 2015.
==Physical appearance==
The book itself is mainly a brown to maroon color, with the most reddish area being at the center, within ouroboros with metallic silver lion, dragon, and eagle heads arranged in a circular, clockwise pattern. A thin, shiny, golden border lines the edges of the front cover. The dust jacket covers the bottom quarter or so of the book, which contains the title in golden print. The jacket is a tan color with a texture resembling old parchment, and also has the title of the book written on it as well as a red wax seal of the ouroboros. The back cover features a smaller version of the ouroboros but no additional detail, and the side cover again holds the ouroborus along with the title, Tales of Tamriel - Book I: The Land, both of which are in gold.
==Contents==
Both the inside front and back covers are filled with a brown map of Tamriel. The continent is a light shade of brown, and the ocean is one slightly darker. It gives the names of each province in a slightly more red shade, except for Cyrodiil, the names of the Alliances in the Alliance War, and the names of the oceans. "Tamriel" is written in large print on the bottom right-hand corner of the page, directly underneath an eight-pointed compass with only the cardinal direction written being north.
The next several pages' backgrounds are beige with what seems to be light spots of blood spattered over the pages. The table of contents lists 106 chapters, separated into the categories, "History," "Aldmeri Dominion," "Daggerfall Covenant," "Ebonheart Pact," and Creatures."
