I am proud to announce that the furious mess that was caused by failed attempt at sacking the Orsinium by Breton and Redguard weaklings has been cleared out and House of Orsimer Glories´s Archives are fully at your disposal again.
On a side note, several articles are missing pictures. Both me and Phil backed most of the articles so over the time we´ll by trying to fix those pictures. Anyone who has posted an article and has back ups is free to update those, it would help us a great deal. Thank you for your attention.

Great job Karver! I was meaning to re-add the images to the Bosmer Encyclopedia but it looks like you already did! =) Everything looks to be in order. Very glad to see the site starting to come together so nicely.
When the dust has settled a bit, will there be any more lore-related events, Karvs & Phil?

While our Library is at your disposal again, we are still recovering several pieces that were lost during failed attempt at sacking Orsinium. Some books are still missing, some aren´t complete, but we will recover. Because Orcs can´t be defeated, only delayed.
To make everything easier for you, our visitors, the Curators have decided they will make an announcement each time a new piece is added into our Library. Because you puny weaklings can be even more ignorant to knowledge than Orcs - and that speaks volumes. So, shut your trap and pay attention now, tuskers.
We´ll start with a new book we´ve managed to obtain, written by very well known member, Philis Siphilius. Some puny Imperial, if you can guess. His piece speaks about the differences between Colovians and Nibenese - as if someone gives a tusk. Imperials and Imperials. They are just Imperials, you Imperial dog! You can find it in our Imperial section, Colovian West.
Another recent addition is by Veloth who fancies himself a Vampire-Hunter. Does that mean he hunts vampires or he´s a Vampire and Hunter? He sent us letter with a question Who is Ur-Dra? No idea, Veloth, but I can tell you my Urine-Dra is just fine.
Another two announcements will follow very soon.

Second announcement this day:
We have decide to include another Section in our Archives. In-Character Lore. What is it? In-Character Lore is a Lore perceived from the eyes of Your characters, like for example, Blog just posted by Philis Siphilius, Werewolves: Villains or Misunderstood? As you can see, Lore through character´s eyes can be inherently flawed, this is why we decided to create a separete section for it.
So, if you want to post In-Character Lore, your best bet is Blogs section. It can be many things, fan-fiction which focuses on researching Lore or in-Character Article, maybe even Lore brook written by yourself. When you post something like this, don´t forget to use Tag TSC:Lore
To show more examples, look at J'zargo's Lessons in Shadow Magic
or Knörr and the Laughing Bear.
I´m expecting that crazy elf Cyre will show up soon....
EDIT: House of Orsimer Glories is looking for an artist who would create a banner for this section that would go along well with all other banners.

Third and last update. Several previously un-categorized pieces have been now added into our Archives.
First is Faith in Tamriel, from Philius Siphilis, again. Arkay and Akatosh and whoever else. Imperials...Only god that matters is Trinimac. If you are interested though, you can find it in Aedra section.
Another piece is by Philius Siphilis too - seriously, that Imperial is like some sort of disease around here. He talks about Tosh Raka'd, from Akavir - like if he ever visited Akavir... You can find it in Races section - But seriously? Dragon-cats? Like if talking cats weren´t enough...
The next piece we recovered is very interesting food for thought, dealing with Magic, The Soul, Draugr and their Relation in our Magic section. It certainly rises few good points about the most numerous undead in Skyrim.
Now we have another Siphilius´s work, again, which can be found in Nords section, as Miraak's Chant. Have you ever visited Solstheim, heard that chant? Souns like band of tuskless Orcs...
Now this one is from Karver the Lorc, a letter which inquires a respond. He asks about Nord Mercenaries, how they are perceived. It really ashames me that his Karver is an Orc, because the letter came from Skyrim. Why does he has to ask us? He should ask those tusking Nords. Just as the next letter, you can find it in General Discussion section.
Another one from that Orc, looking for connection between Standing Stones, Doomstones and Birthsigns. Those are just stones and stars. You really put your whole race to a shame, runt!
And lastly, another General Discussion section, a letter from certain Justiciar from Alinor. Seriously? Even Thalmor writes us these days? The world´s gone really mad. This Justiciar is interested in our opinion on Prophecy and Fate. I´ll show her my opinion....
