Argonian Lore

This is a set of five books that flesh out the lore for the Argonians. As a TES fan since the beginning, I have always tried to read up on anything that has to do with my favorite race. But I have been disappointed not to find much. So I wrote my own lore books.

There are five books, one four-part volume called ''Argonian Lore for Outsiders'' written by my in-game character, Meej-Dar, and a book called ''Life Among the Beasts'' by a Breton author called Pierre Baudelaire with a foreword by Charles Beaumarchais (both of whom are named after the poet Charles Baudelaire and the playwright Pierre Beaumarchais). The Breton's book was supposed to be the first book in an eight-book series, but unfortunately he came into some unforeseen circumstances...

Where do you get the books?
Wuunferth the Unliving - Palace of the Kings, Windhelm
Sybille Stentor or Melaran - Blue Palace, Solitude
Falion - Morthal
Calcelmo - Understone Keep, Markarth
Wylandriah - Mistveil Keep, Riften
Lucan and/or Camilla Valerius - Riverwood Trader, Riverwood
Farengar Secret-Fire - Dragonsreach, Whiterun
Nelacar - The Frozen Hearth, Winterhold

I would like to give Talvas Fathryon the books, at Tel Mithryn on Solstheim (for the Dragonborn DLC), but for some reason my Creation Kit won't let me load it. If anyone would like to do that for me, I'd be much obliged.

The lore for volumes 3 and 4 of Meej-Dar's books are accurate, as is quite a lot of the lore for the Breton's book, but volumes 1 and 2 are not supported in the Elder Scrolls universe. Since I could not find the kind of lore I wanted, I just made some up, while trying to stay as lore-friendly as possible. I did not say that Argonians were once dragon lords who wore golden tiaras and pranced around spitting fire from their mouths. That's coming later on. HE'S GOT JOKES!

Volume 1 of Argonian Lore for Outsiders is about the various Argonian tribes. Five of them I found on UESP Wiki, and the other five are the five from the games, and I gave them names and info. Volume 2 details their religion. I gave them a pantheon of gods and a creation myth. There's a disease called Cocoxque that is mentioned in there, and that's just for the stories I wrote/I'm writing for my character. Volumes 3 and 4 are History and Society, respectively. Then Pierre Baudelaire's book details his final three days of life in Lilmoth. Read Meej-Dar's books first to get some of the (what I consider to be) humor from Pierre's book, specifically volumes 1 and 4.
