From now on, you can experience the beginning of the new story in the MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online (PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S), which awaits you in the big expansion Blackwood. Additionally, a new Free2Play event has started.
What can you expect in the prologue to ESO Blackwood? A Daedric cult is planning something sinister. What exactly, you will find out in the prologue quest. You will join forces not only with the Wood Elf Eveli Sharp-Arrow, but you must also trust a Dremora named Lyranth. The prologue is now available to play for free.
What are Dremora? Dremora are essentially a type of demon and belong to the Daedra. They reside in Oblivion, the realm of forgetting, and are particularly loyal to the Daedric Princes Mehrunes Dagon and Molag Bal. Dremora are enemies that you will have to fight against.
This makes it so interesting to team up with a Dremora in the prologue quest to ESO Blackwood. Can you really trust Lyranth and what does she have planned? You will find that out from now on – on PC, PS4/PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
What is the reward for completing the quest? You will receive a memento in the form of the Daedric Amulet against protective spells. This piece of jewelry may become useful later in the story of Blackwood and the year-long overarching story “Gates of Oblivion”.
How to participate: On all platforms, visit the Crown Store of ESO and find the free prologue quest to Blackwood titled “Touch of a Mortal” under the “Quests” category. Activate it and you can get started.
New gameplay for Blackwood: New scenes from the next ESO chapter have also been shown. Check out the video here:
