To celebrate the sixth anniversary of Tastes of Tamriel, I'm proud to finally present the official unofficial worldbuilding compendium! Compiled from your asks since this blog's inception, this is your one-stop guide to all things worldbuilding in The Elder Scrolls universe. From aromatherapy and cheeses to drinks for the Divines and Tamriel's worst dishes, there's something in here for everybody.
I'd like to take this moment to extend an enormous thanks to the fans and followers who have made this tome possible. Without your asks, this wouldn't exist! I hope you enjoy reading this revised and polished version as much as I did writing it.
Thank you especially to @an-orsimer-and-a-gentlemer, @scrollsnsketchbooks and @akaviri-dovah for your tireless work on polishing this gem up! Please be sure to give them all a follow!
Here's to many more years of Tastes of Tamriel! And if you enjoy this compendium, feel free to show your support with a donation (it's much appreciated)!
Stay safe, eat well, be kind. ~Tal
