* ''VideoGame/TheElderScrollsOnline'': A series of ten in-game books titled "Crafting Motifs 1-10" tells the story of how a researcher named Morian Zenas, who was performing experiments on interdimensional travel, won the heart of a certain Doctor Alfidia Lupus. Unfortunately, Morian's assistant in his transliminal research, Divayth Fyr, was rejected by Alfidia in favor of Morian. Thus, when Morian was finally able to travel to the planes of Oblivion, it is ''heavily'' implied that Divayth Fyr sabotaged his efforts so that Morian would be driven insane by all the forbidden and forgotten knowledge he could accrue in the plane of Apocrypha. Divayth's gamble succeeds, and Morian mysteriously never returns to Mundus.
