The Elder Scrolls Codexery — Data & Quality

We publish our audit record because accuracy claims should be checkable. Every entry on this site runs through an automated fact-audit pipeline (accuracy audit → source-grounded repair → visual QA); this page is generated from that pipeline's own report, not written by hand.

This is a fiction/fan codex: entries describe an in-universe canon. Our audits check canon and internal consistency — external fact-checking does not apply the way it does on real-subject codexes.

Last full accuracy audit: 2026-08-26 · 30 entries checked · 24 flagged · 45 issues confirmed · 24 corrected · 21 still open

Recent findings (audit lane, verbatim)

Alduin — The entry incorrectly states Alduin was defeated before being dragged to Sovngarde; canonically he retreated there first and was defeated within.

Alduin — The description of Alduin's fire consuming life essence is thematic interpretation, not supported by established canon texts or mechanics.

Dagoth Ur — Relationship with Nerevar: Described as 'a brother to Nerevar' implying blood relation; canonically they were close friends and comrades-in-arms, not biological brothers.

Dagoth Ur — Acquisition of Power (Intro): States he 'seized divinity from the Heart'; lore establishes he was corrupted by proximity/infestation while the Tribunal actively stole power using Kagrenac's Tools.

Tiber Septim — Kagrenac's Tools are Keening, Sunder, and Wraithguard; the Mantella is a Soul Gem used to power the Numidium, not one of Kagrenac's Tools.

Tiber Septim — The Aldmeri Dominion did not exist during Tiber Septim's reign (Third Era); it was formed later, with conflicts then involving the Summerset Isles/Altmer directly.

Azura — The entry incorrectly identifies the race as 'Dunmer' prior to the Red Year transformation, whereas canon establishes they were exclusively known as Chimer until Azura's curse.

Thalmor — Thalmor Dossiers do not document book destruction campaigns; in-game documents focus on intelligence regarding Talos worship suppression and political strategy.

Thalmor — Historical records acknowledging Tiber Septim as a mortal Emperor exist in-game; the Thalmor ban his worship, not systematic erasure of historical documentation.

Blades — Delphine did not operate from Sky Haven Temple immediately after being contacted by Esbern; she initially operated out of Riverwood and sought Esbern through the Dragonborn rather than receiving direct contact from him.

Greybeards — The Greybeards were not referenced in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion; their first appearance (both playable and as a named faction) is in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Greybeards — The order did not 'survive the fall of the Dragon Cult' as an existing entity; they were founded by Jurgen Windcaller following the end of the Dragon War and the collapse of the Dragon Cult.

Stormcloaks — Ulfric Stormcloak holds the title of Jarl of Windhelm during the Civil War, not Thane.

Stormcloaks — Ulfric learned to shout while imprisoned by the Empire (likely taught by Paarthurnax), not from the Greybeards prior to his capture.
