Unlike manySkyrimandElder Scrolls-related creations shared on the net, this one is actually official merchandise and can be purchased from the Bethesda store directly. While the tome isn’t a real book, it’s designed to look like one and can be closed with a magnetic clasp. Overall, it makes a great collector’s piece and would be an excellent gift for someone who really lovesSkyrimorThe Elder Scrollsin general.
Fans in the comments joked about whose soul might be contained in the black soul gem, with many of course pointing to thedespised Nazeem, who often finds himself subject to pranks and destruction due to his rude attitude towards the player. However, others noted that it might be a play on ladyphedre’s relationship with her husband, with the soul gem indicating that she’s captured his soul. Ladyphedre jokingly noted that her husband wouldn’t tell her whose soul was inside the black soul gem. Since this particular variety of soul gem can hold back and white souls, it could be anything.
