Step into a gothic-inspired saga in The Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor, the massive chapter expansion that plunges players into the heart of a supernatural crisis. Set within the frost-bitten reaches of the northwestern corner of Skyrim, this expansion marks the beginning of a year-long storyline where the shadows of the past threaten to consume the future. As part of a sprawling adventure, players must navigate a world besieged by an ancient, rising darkness.

A Gothic Tale of Vampires and Witches

Set approximately 1,000 years before the events of the iconic The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Greymoor offers a unique historical perspective on one of Tamriel’s most famous provinces. The expansion introduces a kingdom-wide crisis as mysterious harrowstorms ravage the land, driving its inhabitants to the brink of madness. Players find themselves caught in the middle of a brewing conflict involving a growing vampiric army, elusive werewolves, and the sinister Icereach Coven—a group of witches plotting to tear Skyrim apart from within.

The narrative follows your hero as they attempt to unite Skyrim’s rival kingdoms and their stubborn rulers to face this underground threat. Along the journey, you will encounter memorable allies such as the virtuous Lyris Titanborn and the complicated vampire Fennorian, helping you navigate a campaign defined by its bleak, atmospheric tension.

Explore Western Skyrim and Blackreach

The gameplay experience in Greymoor is centered around exploration and combat across two distinct, breathtaking environments:

  • Western Skyrim: A snow-swept, rugged landscape featuring recognizable but altered versions of classic locations. Wander through the bustling, rocky docks of Solitude or trek through the swampy outskirts of Morthal.
  • Blackreach: A massive, subterranean labyrinth that serves as the expansion's visual centerpiece. This sprawling underground realm is filled with glowing mushrooms the size of redwoods and towering, gothic-inspired castles.
