I really can't wait for the big, huge moment to happen because it's something that's never been done before in Elder Scrolls While he's not exactly the most trustworthy or benevolent Daedra you'll ever meet, Lambert explained that he sits outside the traditional good versus evil struggle, and is just as motivated to see this problem resolved as we are. And he's going to need the players' help dealing with it. The central story in Shadow Over Morrowind revolves around a secret Hermaeus Mora has been hiding from the world that has the potential to threaten not just Tamriel, but our entire reality. Through exploring it and the surrounding peninsula, Lambert said, we will have the chance to absorb a lot of new lore about Dunmer culture and the Telvanni specifically. It's not like a creepy skeleton town or a foreboding gothic sepulcher, but rather an imposing place of thoughtful repose. ![]() A striking metropolis built onto a cliffside, it has some recognizable architectural flourishes in common with places like Vivec, but also a solemn and funerary splendor that is quite unique. The centerpiece of this region is Necrom, the Dunmer City of the Dead, where the people of the province conduct elaborate and holy funeral rights for their deceased loved ones. Talking to ESO's creative director Rich Lambert about what we might expect to run into on their home turf, he didn't want to spoil any specifics, but assured me that there will be "a lot of weird magic" to interact with.

And he might be letting us borrow a bit of his weird magic, too, in the form of the Arcanist: ESO's first new class since 2019. You may remember him from Skyrim's Dragonborn DLC as the giant eyeball guy who lives in a fortress made of banned books. In a storyline called Shadow over Morrowind, we'll be visiting a new area of the Dark Elf home province and lending a hand – or tentacle, perhaps – to the Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora. Heading into its ninth year, the Elder Scrolls Online will be taking a turn for the forbidden and cosmic in 2023. ![]()
