Description | ||
A remarkable simulacrum of the real thing. Mind your sanity, now. This is a small house item. |
The Forged Black Book is a furnishing that is actually an arcanist's tome instead of a Black Book (see note below).
Available FromEdit

A facsimile, clearly. But so well made it's clear the forger had access to an original during the creation process. Why would anyone make such a thing? And how? And why? | I've seen stranger in some of the dark places beneath Tamriel. My guess? Someone had a lot of time on their hands. | Profit, would be my guess. Someone must have realized too late they were tricked by this beautiful creation and thrown it away. |

Update 40 (Infinite Archive - October 2023)
- Released
NotesEdit
- This book actually resembles those used by arcanists. It was revealed that Black Books are not the same thing as arcanist books. Hermaeus Mora himself has compared the two: both are forms of knowledge that he allows into Nirn.
- Loremaster's Archive - The Arcanists notates that an arcanist's book is useless and gibberish to anyone but who it originally bonded to, fitting the researcher's confusion on it being a fake Black Book. Here it also features Azandar al-Cybiades explaining to the University of Gwilym who are unfamiliar with the topic, what arcanists and their tomes are.
