Press Release - TITAN BOOKS ANNOUNCES TWO NEW ELDER SCROLLS BOOK SERIES

I don't usually do press releases, but this one has me very interested. 

I'm not a huge fan of Skyrim but I do enjoy it, and the world created for the game has always been interesting and incredibly well realised. I've always wanted to experience the lands of Tamriel without slogging through the game and fiction is usually the way to go. Titan Books are well known for their excellent 'Art Of' boks and this combination of art and story sounds like a winner. Based on the press release below, it's certainly on my to-do list for next year.

Titan Books today announces five high-quality, in-universe artefacts for fans of The Elder Scrolls®, Bethesda Softworks’ internationally acclaimed and bestselling video game franchise. Titan Books, known for high quality film, TV and gaming tie-ins, with particular strength in the area of licensed entertainment titles, has been granted worldwide rights on the series. 

THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE: TALES OF TAMRIEL - VOL. I: THE LAND
THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE: TALES OF TAMRIEL - VOL. II: THE LORE

Step into the fantasy world of The Elder Scrolls Online with THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE: TALES OF TAMRIEL – a series featuring a vast collection of in-game lore and original art. The two bound volumes chart the ongoing struggles between the Aldmeri Dominion, the Daggerfall Covenant, and the Ebonheart Pact - as well as the deadly invasion of Daedric Prince Molag Bal. Each book features close to one hundred specially commissioned, never-before-seen pieces of art illustrating the lives, the land, and the lore of Tamriel at war.

THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM - THE SKYRIM LIBRARY, VOL I: THE HISTORIES
THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM - THE SKYRIM LIBRARY, VOL II: MAN, MER AND BEAST
THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM - THE SKYRIM LIBRARY, VOL III: THE ARCANE

From the archives of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim® come the collected in-game texts, THE SKYRIM LIBRARY. This lavishly bound, three-volume series chronicles for the first time all of Tamriel's history, and covers a multitude of Elder Scrolls lore - including the cultures, creatures, magic, myths, and more - illustrated with stunning art.

Omar Khan, the series’ editor, is delighted to be a part of this new project, "I'm very excited to play a part in bringing the in-game text from Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls Online to print. Using art and text from Bethesda, we were able craft these amazing tomes that truly showcase the exceptionally well-written and in-depth lore that is the foundation of The Elder Scrolls."

“One of the most important aspects of The Elder Scrolls series is the lore,” said Pete Hines, VP of Marketing and PR for Bethesda Softworks. “To have so much of its history chronicled in this way, accompanied by art sourced from the games, is very cool. We’re excited to be working with Titan on this project, and for fans to see how much detail goes into the worlds our development teams create.”
THE ELDER SCROLLS ONLINE: TALES OF TAMRIEL – VOL. I: THE LAND and THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM - THE SKYRIM LIBRARY, VOL. I: THE HISTORIES are set to hit stores in March next year".
