I would like someone who has purchased Skyrim to add the Skyrim information regarding the Oghma Infinuim. — Unsigned comment by 201.144.51.41 (talk) at 04:35 on 26 November 2011 (GMT)

I think that the pictures from oblivion belong to mysterium xarxes, and not oghma infinium. (Skirr (talk) 15:58, 27 January 2013 (GMT))

They are from both. —Legoless (talk) 17:32, 27 January 2013 (GMT)

ah then i remembered wrong. (Skirr (talk) 20:59, 27 January 2013 (GMT))

No connection between the Oghma Infinium and the Mysterium Xarxes

The following line is wrong: The Oghma Infinium is an ancient tome of knowledge, and an artifact of great power. It was written by Xarxes, the scribe of Auri-El, who had been granted the knowledge within by Hermaeus Mora, and in turn gave the knowledge to Mehrunes Dagon who used it to write the Mysterium Xarxes.[1]

The statement is cited to Hermaeus Mora's dialogue in Oblivion, which is this: You have served me well, and I am pleased. I give you this, the Oghma Infinium. Knowledge given by me to Xarxes is recorded within.

I suggest that the incorrect line be amended to this: The Oghma Infinium is an ancient tome of knowledge, and an artifact of great power. It was written by Xarxes, the scribe of Auri-El, who had been granted the knowledge within by Hermaeus Mora.[1]

I can't find a connection between Xarxes and the Mysterium Xarxes, despite the name. Mora gave Xarxes knowledge which went into Oghma. Dagon wrote Mysterium Xarxes. That's all I can corroborate. I might be overlooking something, though. Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 04:28, 28 June 2013 (GMT)

Any other thoughts on this? Because I really think Fiore has a point here. The page seems to be assuming that Xarxes gave Dagon the requisite knowledge, but I'm not aware of anything that establishes this as fact. Dagon could've gotten the info directly from the source (Mora), or received it in a more convoluted, indirect way. There's no reason to state facts not in evidence here.

Swore I read something about it before, but it might just be speculation based on the names. Seems a shame to remove it though. —Legoless (talk) 23:05, 6 September 2013 (GMT)

Same here; I feel like there's been a substantial discussion about this before. Maybe in IRC? Minor Edits^{Threats•Evidence} 23:15, 6 September 2013 (GMT)

I've searched through every source I have available for Xarxes and can't find a single thing actually linking him to the book that shares his name. Certainly nothing that establishes a chain of influence involving Hermaeus in its creation. Since the fact was added to both pages originally by Legoless and he can't recall where it came from, I'm removing it until something solid can be found. -- Hargrimm^(T) 06:47, 27 February 2014 (GMT)

Vegvísir

Is it worth mentioning that the sign on the 2nd page of Skyrim's Oghma Infinium is an Icelandic Vegvísir; slightly turned? [1] — Unsigned comment by 86.93.127.250 (talk) at 21:05 on 22 January 2014

The same discussion is being held on the Skyrim Easter Eggs page. Unless it has some relevant meaning then the image is just an egg, nothing else. Silence is Golden^{Break the Silence} 21:23, 22 January 2014 (GMT)
