Elder Scrolls lore present in Skyrim states that The Serpent’s goal is to kill and devour the Charges and whenever it looks to get close to one, its Guardian is said to physically change its position in order to face The Serpent and protect its Charge. These roles are important because The Serpent is a unique entity that is composed of stars but can seemingly move on its own. The nine Charges are entirely made of stars, while the three Guardians each have a dominion planet in one eye that governs its stars. There are three Guardians that each have three Charges under them that they protect from the additional constellation, known as The Serpent.Įach constellation is given their role based on what they are composed of. The 12 constellations are broken down into two categories, the first category being Guardians and the second being Charges. Skyrim’s Constellations Explainedįrom the information provided by some of Skyrim's 337 in-game books, like " The Firmament" by Ffulke, there are 12 constellations for every month of the year and an additional constellation that plays a darker role. The light that subsequently emanates from them comes from Atherius, the magic plane that surrounds Oblivion, which provides magic to Nirn and its constellations. For example, Nirn’s sun, Magnus, is the largest tear. The stars are equidistant from Nirn, so the size of each star correlates with the size of the tear. The first thing to understand is that stars in The Elder Scrolls are not balls of nuclear explosions floating in a void, but are instead literal tears in the fabric of Oblivion.

Like many civilizations in the real world, they use features such as constellations to make astrological predictions and mark the changing of the seasons. The night sky is something that the inhabitants of The Elder Scrolls' Tamriel and the world of Nirn have extensively studied and built their various cultures around. Of all the lesser-known lore found within these books, the stories of Skyrim's night sky are some of the most fascinating. Skyrim is littered with books and various texts that players can read, all of which range in content from Tamriel’s history and folktales to personal diaries and fiction novels. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, like The Elder Scrolls series as a whole, is known in part for its incredibly dense and nuanced lore.
