Some highlights from Update 20:

- The order of characters in the character screen can be changed. Players have been wanting this for a long time.
- Players can select multiple housing items at once, move them simultaneously, and revert recent changes with the push of a button.
- Music boxes allow you to play selected pieces from Tamriel on your own grounds.
Murkmire has been in development for many years
Players have been waiting a long time for Murkmire: As early as 2014, before the overhaul to “One Tamriel”, players could get a first glimpse of Murkmire. At Quakecon 2014, players were shown moving images for the first time. The released concept art depicted huge stone pyramids and many Argonians looking into the distance.
Murkmire then disappeared for a few years. For a long time, fans of The Elder Scrolls Online wondered in what form Murkmire would appear. In 2018, it is finally time, and players can immerse themselves extensively in Argonian culture and delve into the ancient Argonian pyramids.
