The Elder Scrolls Online News

Discover the two new zones just announced as part of the upcoming Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom Chapter!
[h2]Two New Zones[/h2]
ESO’s intrepid adventurers will get the opportunity to explore two all-new zones in the upcoming Necrom Chapter: the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha. First shown today as part of the 2023 ESO Global Reveal livestream, these new regions will be open to outsiders when the new Chapter launches in June.

Located along the eastern coast of Morrowind, the Telvanni Peninsula is home to House Telvanni. If you’ve previously explored Sadrith Mora within the island of Vvardenfell, you might be familiar with the region’s alien landscape, including its giant mushrooms and the mages who call it home. However, separate from the Telvanni yet at the center of it all is the zone’s capital, Necrom. Also known as the city of the dead, Necrom has not been seen in an Elder Scrolls game since 1994’s The Elder Scrolls: Arena. In this new Chapter, you’ll have an opportunity to venture through the Dark Elf city, experience its solemn purpose, and uncover its ancient history and lore.

Dive Deep into a new region of Morrowind

In this new Chapter, you can also explore the endless library of Apocrypha, Hermaeus Mora’s realm of Oblivion, and uncover secrets hidden from mortals and Daedra alike. Home to both the followers of the Lord of Knowledge and the lost souls of those who once sought to learn its secrets, Apocrypha is unlike any Daedric realm you have experienced in ESO before. You might have delved into some aspects of this part of Oblivion from The Elder Scrolls Online V: Skyrim—Dragonborn, but in the Necrom Chapter, you should be prepared to discover all-new areas not seen before in any of your previous adventures.

Don’t Get Lost in Mora’s Endless Library

Both new regions host all manner of challenges, including new delves, public dungeons, world bosses, a new Trial, and a brand-new type of world event. As you may expect from an Elder Scrolls game, each zone has its own mysteries for you to uncover, and as you progress your Shadow Over Morrowind adventure, you can also discover a host of stand-alone side quests and encounter a diverse assortment of non-player characters.
[h2]Encounter New Allies & Rewards[/h2]
In your journeys into the new zones, you can recruit two all-new Companions, the Redguard Arcanist Azandar Al-Cybiades and Argonian Warden Sharp-As-Night. Each Companion features their own personalities, abilities for you to unlock, and stories to tell (including their own quests).

Azandar Al-Cybiades and Sharp-As-Night

Both new zones also provide no shortage of rewards for those brave enough to venture into their darkest corners. This includes 10 new item sets, new Antiquities to dig up, new collectibles to unlock, and a host of new Achievements and Titles to earn. Finally, Necrom’s zones also allow you to unlock the newest Tales of Tribute deck—Almalexia!
