Become the Edler Scrolls Morrowind poet you always dreamed of being with this mod

“Twas the night before Saturalia…” etc.

Morrowind is just one of those games I’ll always go back to. While Skyrim reigns supreme as the most successful Elder Scrolls game, the third installment in Bethesda’s series still draws me in. And that’s to say nothing about the mods that keep it alive.

For example, if I wanted to release my inner creativity, I could opt for “Write Books and Scrolls,” a seemingly simple download that lets you loose on the blank pages of Morrowind.

Brought to us by Nexus Mods user MomokeCome, it allows players to write their own scrolls and books within the world of TES3. Blank versions can be purchased from sellers, at which point you can put quill to paper and “write your own title and text.”

Okay, maybe I’m over-romanticizing it a bit. But when it comes to fantasy RPGs, not many people think to allow someone to become an in-game writer. We’re all about having immense stories with rich lore, but this mod gives us the chance to craft some of our own.

The download page doesn’t say whether the blank scrolls and books come with character or word limits, though. Anyone who’s played Morrowind and has checked out the sheer breadth of literature available will know that some novels and history books can go on for a few pages.

I could wax lyrical about how I would use the mod to pen the great Elder Scrolls tale. Truth is, I’d probably just use it to remind my character to pick up more ash yams while in Balmora.
