Hmm...

What's the smallest number of items you must steal if you want to join the Mages Guild?

One is the loneliest number...

Jeanne Frasoric's spell book/manual of spells.

Technically, you don't HAVE to steal it. You can always simply cast "dispell" on J'Skar. Works just as well.

Well, actually you don't have to steal anything to JOIN the Mages Guild, however you need to steal Jeanne Frasoric's book to get into the Arcane University.

So where do we get the Dwarven Alphabet? Found the Daedric one, but then noticed your breadcrumb the size of a truck so tried to follow that, but can't find it. :(

Mind you, from the small bits that I've seen, it doesn't look Dwarven either.

The first thing I tried was turning my screen to each side, it looked as though there might almost be words hidden in it....

It appears to be Ayleid. Link

I probably screwed up somewhere, but:
ASOIOBALBUMARILEEHLNADARACUVAR
Very informative.

You find the text on the floor. (of the Anvil Chapel)
You also find the text on a box. (of the KotN game)
It is directly related to a quest. (startof KotN)

The link has the answer.

EDIT:

Catctus actually did the translation rather than find the text answer, so gets the win for effort. Nice job.
As oiobala Umarile, Ehlnada racuvar. According to the prophet this means: By the eternal power of Umaril, the mortal gods shall be cast down.

The link is on the main page, in the "Did you Know" section. That's where I got it from... :P

Strangely, it says Dwemer runes on the main page note, the title of the page linked to the article say Dwemer Alphabet, but there is no Dwemer in the chart? It says Alyied?

Well obviously I don't!

The clue that I got was trying a "save image" just to see if it was named, and sure enough "DwarvenRuins.jpg" came up, so it was a good starting point. I just failed entirely after that!! :D

I searched for "Dwemer Alphabet" specifically. From what I read, it's listed as Dwemer because apparently they used the same alphabet. Of course, wouldn't that mean there isn't an actual Dwember alphabet, just old Ayleid? Any who..
..that sucks. I have to think of a question now.

Clue#1:
female Dark Elves are well known for their promiscuity
Hint #1:
It's a NPC.

I couldn't think of a riddle or anything, so I'm doing it differently. If no one guesses it by tomorrow, I'll add more when I get home from work.

I read it in a book.......Was is from "The Real Barenziah v2"?

Of course, that might be just me.....

Here's the exact quote from the book:
"Barenziah cocked her head to one side quizzically. "They say Dark Elven women are pro-- pro-- something. Prostitutes?" she said, although she was dubious.

"You mean promiscuous. Although some do become prostitutes, I suppose," Katisha said as an afterthought. "Elves are promiscuous when they're young. But you'll outgrow it. Perhaps you're beginning to already," she added hopefully."

PS: I don't think that's right, because....well....Katisha isn't technically an NPC; she's a character in a book.
