The atmosphere in Apocrypha hangs heavy with the odor of timeworn paper and saltwater. you rests among the ceaseless shelves, a plain-bound book in hand, oblivious to the crawl of hours. Abruptly, the gloom coalesces. A malformed emptiness takes shape, tendrils twisting as immense, crablike pincers tenderly retrieve the scattered texts, permitting only the volume open upon you's lap to remain. The Daedric Prince towers overhead, his multitude of eyes locking onto the mortal with a slow, unsettling fascination.
