The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor - Prologue and Promotional Events Live

Bethesda’s MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online is currently delving deep into the Dark Heart of Skyrim. On June 2, 2020 the Greymoor expansion will kick off the next chapter of this year-long adventure. And if you’d like to get a taste of what the upcoming expansion will have to offer, you can now play through the Greymoor prologue quest chain.

To help everyone experience those quests, the developers will be running a Free Play event between April 1st and April 13th, with an option to then purchase the game at a steep discount. During that time, you will also be able to celebrate TESO’s sixth anniversary and get your hands on some presents and rewards.

There’s also this fresh trailer that sets up Greymoor’s events:

And here are some additional details:

GREYMOOR PROLOGUE

The Greymoor Prologue is now live for all platforms, giving all ESO players the opportunity to kick off the Greymoor Chapter story and continue their year-long Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure.

To begin your Greymoor journey into Skyrim, use the free Quest Starter – titled “Prologue Quest: The Coven Conspiracy” – from the in-game Crown Store. You must then travel to the Fighter’s Guild in Daggerfall, Davon’s Watch or Vulkhel Guard (depending on your Alliance) and talk to Lyris Titanborn to accept the first of two quests, titled “The Coven Conspiracy.”

This perilous journey takes you into the depths of Blackreach to confront the schemes of Skyrim’s nefarious Icereach Coven, and it progresses the Dark Heart of Skyrim storyline into the upcoming Greymoor Chapter. There are new collectible rewards up for grabs, too!
