Back in the day I was a huge TES lore nerd. And recently I’ve been researching some old videos I know from back in the day with my wife cause she has an interest in the lore.
Now we’re watching through the old shoddycaat lore season 1 playlist right now as I remember it being amazing basic information to get into specific events from and actually kinda know what’s happening.
Once we’re done there what’s a great way to get lore nowadays? And how does ESO play into the canon?
Since I haven’t played much of ESO I don’t even know what’s canon and what isn’t but the stories from it I know we’re already established lore when the game launched. Namely the couldharbour anchors and molag bal invading tamriel with them
As far as I know, the general consensus on r/teslore was that all of ESO is canon, and that it does a decent job of expanding on existing lore. Back when I was doing more theory-crafting, I remember it had some great lore about orc society!
UESP has an ESO section and lots of lore in general so it’s a good place if you want reading material.
There’s a good podcast called Elder Scrolls Lorecast that goes over the various regions, guilds, characters, etc in pretty good depth. They’ve been around for a while so there’s a lot of good content to listen to.
UESP and the Imperial Library for sure
Hey late comment but if you want a podcast the covers more of the high level things or explaining “deep lore” (What’s is the Uutak Mythos, what is C0DA?) Try Written In Uncertainty by Aramithius, lovely podcast
UESP has a pretty decent app that has become a go-to read on commutes, etc
UESP is an incredible resource for everything Elder Scrolls. It’s probably the best unofficial videogame website of all tbh
