Oghma Infinium

The Oghma Infinium is the Daedric artifact of Hermaeus Mora, Prince of knowledge. Reading it gives you a permanent boost to a whole group of skills – and then the book vanishes.

How to get it

It’s the reward for “Discerning the Transmundane”, the quest from Septimus Signus that follows Elder Knowledge. Collect the blood of five elven races to open the Dwemer lockbox – and find out what Hermaeus Mora was after all along.

Which path to choose

When you read it, you pick one of three paths. Each gives +5 to every skill in its group:

• Path of Might: the warrior skills.
• Path of Magic: the mage skills.
• Path of Shadow: the thief skills.

Tip: read it only once you know what kind of character you’re playing.
