The Lexicon is a quest item found in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It is received from an Argonian, From-Deepest-Fathoms, who can be found on the Riften Docks. Receiving the Lexicon from her will initiate the quest Unfathomable Depths.

AppearanceEdit

The Lexicon is a small, black cube with glowing red hieroglyphics crafted by the Dwemer.

FunctionEdit

The Lexicon is actually a portable information repository, containing the memories and knowledge of countless Dwemer. Accessing this knowledge is done with the use of a Lexicon Receptacle, however, proper use of both the Lexicon and its receptacle are unknown to modern races.

Once the lexicon cube is returned to its stand in the top left corner is says "Elder Knowledge Received" and grants the active effect, "Ancient Knowledge". The perk grants a permanent 25% armor bonus when wearing Dwarven Armor and Blacksmithing increases 15% faster.
