It is designed for use in retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines, knowledge base construction, semantic search, and other natural language processing (NLP) tasks relevant to The Elder Scrolls universe.

**Enormous thanks** to the editors and contributors of [UESP.net](https://en.uesp.net/), who have meticulously curated The Elder Scrolls universe since 1995.

This dataset represents a static export from April 2025 and may not reflect subsequent wiki edits or corrections. It currently includes content from **Morrowind**, **Oblivion**, and **Skyrim** only, and does not cover earlier titles such as **Daggerfall** or **Arena**.
