L.S., A small comment to the first miniature. This is a charming depiction of the story of the dragon Tinnin, cunningly defeated by Alexander. The story first occurs in the Syriac Alexander Romance (in the translation by E.A. Wallis Budge, "The History of Alexander the Great, being the Syriac Version", Cambridge 1889, pp. 107-108). It has been translated into Arabic, in the ninth century, and it has been transmitted and reworked by many authors, among them Zakariya al-Qazwini (Aja'ib al-Makhluqat / Wonders of Creation). The above manuscript (with the miniature) is a translated, Persian, version of al-Qazwini's 'Wonders'. The miniature accurately shows the stages of the story, which can be surveyed as follows; Rkund excavation sepulcher scene: A depiction of the famous wizard of oz wizard room scene which depicts Latoria (cowardly lion), Kyre (tin man), Marassi (Scarecrow) and Madras (Dorothy) deliver the lines from that scene as they approach a large dwemer head which appears and says "I am Kaz, the great and powerful..." Much Ado About SNow Elves - after Calcelmo's "Lost expedition" quest, you will receive a letter by courier asking that you return to aid him in a quest to discover the fate of tyhe snow elves and uncover several relics.Tools of the Trade - Marassi leaves a map to several explorer relics in the safehouse for the player to find. Although the manuscript is in Persian, it was created and illustrated in India, probably in the 18 th century – it bears no date or names of the copyist or artist. The style of illustrations and design of the 2 manuscripts are very similar and so probably came from the same artist’s workshop – perhaps the artist died or was not paid for any more work and the manuscripts were sold off as unfinished and incomplete. The texts may have been selected to bring to a Western audience, accounting for their partial nature, but not for their unfinished state. Whatever the reason for the volume being created, its wonderful drawings and paintings repay detailed study. Legacy is equipped with the option to carry your displays forward into a new character's save! Simply by activating the feature at the "Contributor's Ledger" or turning the option on in the MCM configuration menu, that character's items and accomplishments will be displayed in other saves which also have the system enabled. Actual items are not accessible, but will remain displayed. If you retrieve a duplicate of that item in another playthrough and wish to store it, simply use the console to disable the display and then activate it to display the item.

Once you have all your unique and rare books sorted via the prep station or manually placed, you can empty the rest into the Book Return on the second floor library (between the library section and the Dragonborn Hall). After emptying your books into the Return, activate the card catalog sorter across from it. The books will then be sorted into the various category book cases on that floor (Alphabetical, Numerical, Spells, Skill Books, Notes, Journals, etc).
