Pop the Oghma Infinium on the book shelf. Of course, all information makes its way to the Prince of Knowledge eventually. But how did Xarxes' tome, as opposed to the Elder Scrolls or any other work of powerful knowledge, come to be so heavily associated with Hermaeus Mora? The obvious answer is that Xarxes had some connection to the Daedric Prince, but little record of this relationship exists. Perhaps, of all the knowledge in Hermaeus Mora's possession, the Oghma Infinium is simply the most powerful and thus the most fitting reward for those who please him.

While recording all of history in this tome, Xarxes created a wife for himself out of all his favorite moments in history. This woman's name was Oghma, though it is unknown whether she was named for the book or the book for her. An Oghma was also the name of a journal that every Aldmeri kept, recording the events of one's life in the spirit of Xarxes' work.

However, little is known about Oghma herself, as she rarely appears in any lore or in-game literature. The name Oghma comes from Gaelic lore, inspired by Ogma, a god of wisdom in Irish and Scottish mythology. Skilled in speech and poetry, he was one of the three gods of skill in this pantheon. Ogma was said to be the inventor of the Ogham script, the original writing system of Irish Gaelic.

As a god who gave his people the ability to write and record their history, it's little wonder that a book containing infinite knowledge bears his name.

In Skyrim , the Oghma Infinium's second page shows artwork of a runic wheel. Translating to "sign post" or "wayfinder," such a symbol was designed to prevent travelers from becoming lost in storms or foul weather. Though it's unknown why the developers chose this symbol, it may allude to knowledge acting as a guide. After all, the Oghma Infinium is the ultimate tool to make the Dragonborn more powerful. In most of its appearances, the Oghma Infinium appears to vanish after the player reads it.
