Elder Scrolls lore before starting Skyrim

Question

I am waiting for Skyrim but I never played any other games of the Elder Scrolls series. Where can I find more info about the lore of Elder Scrolls series, in general, so that I can start reading something before the release?

Answer

The Elder Scrolls Wiki has a History category that has all the information you could ever want.

It will recap the entire plotline of all the previous games for you.

That being said, however, each game has a stand-alone plotline. There are references thrown in for hardcore fans, but they are generally easter eggs, not important plot elements.

Especially pertinent here is that Skyrim takes place in a different part of the world, 200 years after Oblivion. Its plot will have little to do with past plots. You will be able to fully enjoy Skyrim without any prior research.
