I am going to be making a book mod with a few short stories from my brother who is a writer with far too much spare time (like I said, he is a writer). Well my contribution apart from making it will be a couple of referance books, "A Mage's bestiary of Cyrodiil" which will be a description of all the generic creatures of Cyrodiil for a mage, meaning their approximate (you try asking a daedra how weak to shock he is) strengths and weaknesses to magic, what spell is required to command/calm them (if possible) and any other characteristics important to a mage. And the second is "An Alchemical survery of Cyrodiil" compiled by my very own ranger, no CS so I am only half way done but it is a whole bunch of fun collecting the data, it is basically a description of the plants common to each region of Cyrodiil then a description of each plant in Cyrodiil.

Most people won't care and would probably perfer me to put a guide on the internet, but if you are anything like me and carry around a mages guide charter to see where to buy spells then you will understand why I am making a mod.

I have all I need for the mage's guide because I just did that in the CS and now I have to convert it to make it look like I didn't because I don't think percentages exist in Cyrodiil even if a mage worked tirelessly zapping creatures to be so accurate. Here is my notes for the alchemist's guide: (well some of them atleast)

Feel free to add or subtract, I may I have forgotten some stuff when listing them because it is not always easy to recognise the zone changes and I excluded things which are especially rare there but common elsewhere; and I think I missed some things from County Kvatch. I know the subtitles could be a bit confusing, but they means the area which is in both the normal title and the subtitle.

Ibis's Oblivion Cookbook:

Coming up soon - Pisces Au CloudedFunnelCap shall be my featured dish. I am working out the ingredient portions right now :

but Cain is making me get off the forums. He is hungry for his fried *fish* dinner.

tahahaha!!!

Good idea btw, Pisces. Really, i like this mod idea. i would try to scour for natural flora and fauna for you but my computer sucks at Oblivion. However, I gotta say that I liked the originality of the ingredients in MW alot better. More fantasy oriented. But good luck ... oh and do watch out for, fishing birds.
