ZeniMax sure knows how to make trailers! Now for some juicy details about the expansion.

ENCOUNTER THE FORGOTTEN PRINCE

In Gold Road, you must investigate the return of Ithelia, a Daedric Prince never seen before in the Elder Scrolls series. Throughout this new story line, it’s up to you and your allies to uncover the schemes of her most devoted followers, encounter opportunistic Wood Elves, and protect the people of West Weald from the chaos of the Forgotten Prince’s return.

The Gold Road main storyline continues the narrative threads that began in last year’s Necrom Chapter, but all of Tamriel’s heroes can enjoy this new story, regardless of whether they played the earlier adventure or not.

EXPLORE WEST WEALD

In this latest Chapter, you’ll venture into West Weald, a new zone located southwest of Cyrodiil and along the borders of Valenwood and the Gold Coast.
Long-time Elder Scrolls fans might recognize the region’s capital, Skingrad, its vineyards, and many Ayleid ruins from The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Recently, strange Daedric incursions and a series of dramatic changes has beset this Imperial Colovian region, including the sudden emergence of a dense magical jungle along the Valenwood border.

As a new zone, West Weald is home to no shortage of unique challenges for would-be adventurers. This includes unique quests that dive deeper into the lore and peoples of this part of Tamriel, delves and public dungeons to explore, Mirrormoor Incursions (a new type of world event), and a new 12-player PvE Trial. All of these quests and activities bring their own rewards too, including new item sets, Achievements and collectibles.

CREATE NEW POWER WITH SCRIBING

The Gold Road Chapter also introduces the new Scribing system. With Scribing, you can collect and customize unique skills, called Grimoires, that grant you the opportunity to further tailor your character’s playstyle by allowing you to edit their primary, secondary, and tertiary effects.
For example, the Vault Grimoire creates a damaging area of effect while moving you out of danger. You can then choose to edit the Grimoire’s scripts to change its damage type, give it greater synergy with your current build, or even heal or buff your allies.

In addition to being a powerful new tool to customize your characters, Scribing is also an exploration into the ancient origins of magic in Tamriel. In its questline, you can dive deep into the secrets of the mage who first learned to manipulate magic, all the while expanding your collection of Grimoires and scripts.

The Elder Scrolls Online Gold Road expansion will be available on June 3 for all platforms, with pre-orders now live on all storefronts.
