The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor – everything we know

Greymoor is filled to the brim with content. Of course, this wouldn't be a proper Greymoor everything we know article if we didn't go through each and every one of them. So allow us to get started, and brace yourself.

Greymoor brings a whole new zone to explore into the game – western Skyrim. Greymoor has you returning to the snowy northern land of Skyrim, home of the proud Nords. While it's true that you can currently visit some of the Skyrim areas in The Elder Scrolls Online, Greymoor makes that world even larger. The western Skyrim zone includes areas such as Solitude and Blackreach, with plenty to explore in every corner. All across western Skyrim you'll discover new side-quests, dungeons, bosses, and a new world event - harrowstorms. Keep reading to find out more about them.

Of course, it wouldn't be an adventure without a story. That's why in the Greymoor chapter you must investigate the cause of the harrowstorms sweeping the world. Make sure to prepare yourself, it is no easy task. It is worth noting that even though Greymoor's story continues directly from the Harrowstorm dungeon pack it is not necessary to play through it to enjoy the Greymoor content.

Antiquities and trials of Greymoor – everything we know

The Elder Scrolls: Greymoor features a whole new antiquities system. A fresh in-game activity that allows players to uncover artefacts. What makes the system even better is that it isn't restricted only to the new western Skyrim area. That's right, the antiquities are hidden all across Tamriel, and it's your job to find them all. If you ever fancied yourself as a bit of an archeologist this is something you must look into. However, it's not all just for show or cool new minigames. Each relic includes unique collectibles which you can use. Including, but not limited to, mementos and furnishings.

Greymoor also sees the addition of a massive new trial built for 12 players. The Kyne's Aegis. No specifics have been revealed as of yet. However, it's been leaked that it will take place on an island in the northern part of Skyrim. It is also said to be of similar size to Sunspire and feature multiple hard modes.

New world event – Harrowstorms
