A fan ofThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrimreceived a strange letter from a friend that turned out to be blank.Skyrimplayers often receive letters from NPCs on a variety of topics, with some of them related to specific quests. They can also include warnings, assassination notes, and gold inherited by the Dragonborn among others.
As an example, aSkyrimplayer received a strange inheritance letterin which the name of the deceased matched their own. The user had no connection to an NPC also named Ragnar, but they received a sum of 90 gold nonetheless. This total was excluding the high amount of tax, worth 10 gold pieces, imposed by the Jarl’s court. Now, aSkyrimfan somehow received a blank letter from a friend.

A Reddit user named ColdExamination1474 has shared a picture of a blank letter they received inSkyrim. As seen in the image, the document is completely blank, but ColdExamination1474 mentions reading it a couple of weeks ago. They state that the letter started a new quest that lead to aword of power inSkyrim, so it’s strange for it to appear blank now. ColdExamination1474 also confirms that they managed to get the word of power featured in the document.
Some of the comments include jokes about ColdExamination1474 having no friends or how theyshouldn’t trust NPCs inSkyrim. Many users claim to have played similar jokes on their friends in real life using invisible ink, with some asking the player to hold it against ultraviolet light. A few fans jokingly suggest putting lemon juice on it and placing it next to a heat source to reveal a secret message. On the other hand, there seems to be a reasonable explanation for this mysteriously blank letter.
One user mentioned that after obtaining the word of power described on the page, such quests are cleared until thenext delivery starts inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. They claim that the letter appears blank should there be a problem with the text, and speculate that this could have happened to ColdExamination1474.
Another player seems to have experienced a similar event, and they point to a fairly likely scenario that cansolve thisSkyrimmystery. They mention that such pages can turn into empty documents after they are placed in a container and some time has passed. This information matches ColdExamination1474’s account of not seeing the letter for two weeks in real time.
