[edit] Removed some stuff

1. The book that calls them Aedric prophesies also mentions this title is highly inappropriate.

2. They don't look black to any untrained reader. Image to the side shows this, I reckon the author who wrote that is confusing them with similair scrolls from one of David Eddings books.

3. Any person gifted with precience can read the scrolls and there is no description of any complex rituals needed. See Pension of the Ancestor Moth. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 62.251.15.186 (talk • contribs).

Good catch, Proweler, thanks. I did look at the Lost Histories of Tamriel; what was in the article before twisted what was stated in the book. Others may chime in on the other aspects. --Benould^•T•C 12:46, 8 August 2008 (EDT)

[edit] Plural form of Khajiit

The text says: "Elsweyr - homeland of the Khajiit", but shouldn't it be "Elsweyr - homeland of the Khajiiti"?Icko 05:19, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Nope. One Khajiit, two Khajiit, many Khajiit. Khajiiti tends to be the adjective. The only exception I can think of is the Ring of Khajiiti in Oblivion. –Rpeh^{•T•C•E•} 06:23, 6 December 2008 (EST)

Ok, my bad. It was that ring that got me confused. Icko 06:35, 6 December 2008 (EST)

There are other exceptions. I found numerous instances of "Khajiiti" as the plural in books - see A Dance in Fire, Chapter 4 for an example. To further complicate matters, the word is sometimes pluralized as "Khajiits" - see Special Flora of Tamriel. This spelling also appears in some dialogue. Which is most correct? Hard to say, since the games are not consistant on this. "Khajiits" is probably wrong, as it appears the least often. But I think that "Khajiiti" is just as valid as "Khajiit", as they are both used frequently as the plural form, even if "Khajiiti" is also an adjective. For the record, that same ring is known as Ring of Khajiit in Morrowind, so even there, we have a lack of consistancy. --TheRealLurlock ^Talk 09:14, 6 December 2008 (EST)

[edit] Elder Scroll

I was wanting to know if anyone knew where i could get a link or something that would lead to a website that can translate the ttext in the Elder Scroll That you Steal on the last quest in the Thieves G uild Questline. I would Appreciate it. --APSX3427 22:34, 13 June 2009 (EDT)

The Imperial Library has the biggest collection of translations. Considering they don't have the translation for the Elder Scroll, I doubt anyone has it (or the text is not just random characters). --Timenn < talk > 05:23, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

Thanks for the help! --APSX3427 22:22, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
