You can also choose what icons you want to use, which kind of book to display on map filters or in options and much more.
Please try it yourself and let me know your thoughts. All ideas how to improve this addon are welcome.
It includes thousands of lorebook locations and with every update will be this number higher.
If you find any lorebook not listed in database, addon will save its location and display it on the map for all other characters.
Please help me with updating database and share your locations:
- Use /lbpos or /lbfake to obtain Lorebook information to post in the comments section
Thank you.

ABOUT THIS LISTING
This page describes LoreBooks by Kyoma. The description and screenshots are the author's own, imported from their listing on ESOUI on 14 August 2026: https://www.esoui.com/downloads/info288-LoreBooks.html
Mythiq hosts no files for it. The download button goes straight to the release file on cdn.esoui.com, so you are downloading from the author's own host, not from a copy of ours.
The download count, rating and comments on this page start at zero and count Mythiq only. The source's own figures are not copied here — they measure a different site, and a number that cannot be checked against our own ledger is not worth printing.
Media
Requirements
Game version
11.3.0
API VERSION
Built for ESO API version 11.3.0. After a patch the game marks add-ons built for the previous API as out of date; the "Allow out of date add-ons" checkbox in the add-on menu loads them anyway, and most work.
LIBRARIES
Many ESO add-ons depend on a shared library — LibAddonMenu-2.0 above all — which is installed separately, exactly like an add-on. A dependency that is missing shows as the add-on simply not appearing in the list.
CONSOLE
Add-ons are PC and Mac only. There is no way to load them on console.
Installation
1. Download the archive with the button on this page and unzip it.
2. Move the unzipped folder into your add-ons directory:
Windows — Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns
3. Start the game, and at the character select screen click Add-Ons.
4. Tick the add-on. If it is greyed out and marked out of date, tick "Allow out of date add-ons" at the top of the same panel.
5. Log in. Most add-ons need a /reloadui after they are first enabled.
UPDATING
Delete the old folder first. ESO loads everything it finds, and two copies of one add-on is the usual cause of "an add-on has produced an error" on login.
This release downloads from cdn.esoui.com, not from us, so
there is no checksum to compare against. Scan the archive before you unpack it.
