The Elder Scrolls Online: Gold Road: Storyline
Taking players to West Weald in search of the forgotten Daedric Prince Ithelia, Gold Road introduces a storyline filled with chaos and discovery. A dense rainforest jungle, seemingly appearing overnight, sets the backdrop. The “Recollection,” a group of wood elves considering themselves Ithelia’s devout worshipers, adds mystery. The unfolding narrative will reveal the truth behind Ithelia’s past and her relationships with other princes, along with a series of “capper” quests linked to the Necrom and Gold Road main stories.
New Trial
It also introduces a new trial called Lucent Citadel, providing players with exciting content. Although details about the trial remain undisclosed, updates will be provided as additional information becomes available.
Gameplay
Scribing, a novel system in Gold Road, introduces a higher level of customization to skills. This feature allows players to tailor their skills along World and Weapon skill lines, enabling alterations to the appearance of skills, including changes in colours and the addition of visual effects.
