Learn more about some of the horrific monstrosities that call the Daedric realm of Apocrypha home.
In the upcoming Necrom Chapter, you can visit Apocrypha, the twisted realm of Hermaeus Mora. However, endless knowledge is not all that awaits within the Daedric Prince’s dominion. Creatures ranging from the bizarre to the terrifying litter the ethereal landscape and threaten those who journey too far in search of Mora’s secrets.
Take a quick look at four of these cursed creatures and learn more about what roles they play in the vast sea of forbidden knowledge that is Apocrypha.
Seekers
Perhaps first and foremost among the denizens of Mora’s realm are the Seekers. You’re likely to come across these levitating, tentacled Daedra anywhere treasured knowledge may be found, as they tend to the endless stacks of tomes and loose pages scattered throughout Apocrypha.
“Seekers are the Daedric creatures most loyal to Hermaeus Mora, resembling spawn from the Inevitable Knower himself,” says Michael Zenke, ESO’s Loremaster. “While some sources (often tomes of ill repute written by half-mad scholars) indicate that Seekers can speak out loud, reliable witnesses claim that Seekers make only the most basic and uncanny of sounds as they silently prowl their Master’s realm.” Seeker
Seekers are said to be the administrators and guardians of Apocrypha’s Endless Library, and they will reportedly go to extreme lengths to protect their lord’s trove of unfathomable lore.
“Indeed, the average Seeker will not pause to engage a mortal in Apocrypha in pleasant conversation,” says Zenke. “They instinctively feel that intruding mortals are a danger that should be destroyed immediately.”
You can find Seekers throughout much of Apocrypha, but it is said one uniquely mighty variant resides in one of the realm’s most unholy sites.
“A particularly ancient Seeker, the Prime Cataloguer, makes its home in the Libram Cathedral, waiting for groups of daring adventurers to challenge it,” warns Tom Murphy, Necrom’s Zone Lead.
Mortals curious about what knowledge they can procure from within Mora’s realm should be careful, lest they fall victim to a Seeker ready to punish any intruders for their trespasses.
Lurkers
While Seekers may guard Apocrypha’s libraries, Lurkers stalk its shores, ready to devour any unfortunates that cross their paths. These unsightly beasts are rumored to be birthed from the abyssal pools that make up the very foundation of Apocrypha. It is said that they represent the evolution of life pushed to its very extreme, resulting in a hideous monster that barely resembles any natural lifeform.
“Looking at these beasts, it’s easy to see their physiology was inspired by some of the strangest creatures of Nirn,” says Zenke. “Perhaps it’s this tenuous link back to the Nirn that makes them so truly disgusting, because deep down we recognize the shapes that inspired the Lurker. And we fear them.” Lurker
The Lurker’s hulking frame disguises their unnatural speed, and its unending desire to feed drives them forward to consume whatever poor soul draws their attention.
“They feast equally on the flesh of trespassers and on the detritus of moldering libraries that are pulled into their dark waters,” explains Murphy. “Players will find them in Apocrypha’s mires and lowlands, hiding and basking in the sinister waters of their Prince’s domain.”
Those who have braved the marshlands of Apocrypha talk of a titanic Lurker, “Vro-Kuul-Sha,” who has made its home in an area referred to as Deepreave Quag. Facing this beast is a reckless pursuit, but if it can be killed, great rewards await its slayer.
Hushed
Unlike Seekers and Lurkers, the Hushed do not appear to be naturally occurring residents of Apocrypha. Instead, they are theorized to be the husks of mortal loreseekers who have been degraded both mentally and physically after peering too long into the Lord of Knowledge’s darkest secrets.
“The Hushed are the result of prolonged exposure to the boundless secrets of Mora’s realm,” says Zenke. “Once dedicated researchers and scholars, these misshapen, mouthless beings are now driven only by a thirst for knowledge. They are hostile in the extreme to mortal interlopers.” Hushed
These horrific reflections of our own mortal form wander across the wastes of Apocrypha, supposedly in search of the very knowledge that led to their ghastly transformation. Despite their pitiful appearance, the Hushed are not to be underestimated.
“Though their minds are destroyed, they retain the skills and abilities they wielded in life–and in some cases, have unlocked new powers at the cost of mind and body,” warns Murphy. “Don’t treat them as mindless zombies.”
Hermaeus Mora’s gifts may appear tantalizing at first, but remember that few dealings with Daedric Princes come without a price.
Mind Terrors
The last and most disturbing creature you may encounter in your travels throughout Apocrypha are the nightmarish Mind Terrors. Everything about these unnerving monstrosities seems to be designed to instill terror into the minds of mortals. Fear is their weapon, and they wield it expertly.
“They are nightmares out of childhood,” says Zenke. “The shadows on the wall of our bedrooms given flesh, intellect, and a mouth full of hundreds of pointed teeth.” Mind Terror
Although Mind Terrors prowl across various regions of Apocrypha, they seem oddly distinct from the realm’s other inhabitants. They appear almost alien when compared to Mora’s spawn and seem to act in opposition to the Prince’s goals.
“Mind Terrors have arrayed themselves against Hermaeus Mora,” explains Murphy. “They are nightmares given form, feasting on mental anguish and terror.”
While each these monsters are extremely dangerous, one is feared above all others and has reportedly escaped from Oblivion.
“A particularly virulent Mind Terror, the Walking Nightmare, has broken free of any control and now runs rampant in the Telvanni Peninsula,” says Murphy. “Groups of adventurers can tackle this monstrosity in the Nightmare Den.”
Are you prepared to face your greatest fears and banish this abhorrent creature back to Oblivion?

Meet the Character– Sharp-as-Night
Learn about Sharp-as-Night, one of the two new Companions you can recruit during your adventures in The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom!
A letter from Reynila Treviri to her associate, Cyril Caro
Cyr,
I regret I haven’t made it out your way in some time. Mevei sent a care package. Did you receive it? Been terribly busy since last we spoke. Hopefully no news is good news, and that you and the family still keep two lanterns in the farmhouse window.
I’m not writing for a favor this time. I’m looking for a friend of mine, someone I’ve been seeking for ages. When I knew him, he was called Sharp, short for Sharp-as-Night. He may be going by another name these days. In fact, I pray that he is.
As I’m sure you guessed, he’s Argonian. He’s tall for his kind, with deep blue scales, black horns and jaw spines, and a crest of black feathers. You’d know him instantly by the distinctive red markings around his eyes. He told me they were bestowed by his tribe—a signifier of his aptitude in nature magic. Such magic was never allowed to flourish when I knew him. Perhaps things have changed in the years since.
Sharp was my friend, and the first of our clients. I’m ashamed to say he suffered because of my inexperience. I’ll never forgive myself for those early mistakes, but I’m committed to making things right. Part of me always hoped Sharp found his way to a new home in Black Marsh and now spends his days fishing in tranquil waters. If he was happy and safe, I’d be content to never hear from him again.
I’m writing because I received word that a client came across an Argonian fitting Sharp’s description while waiting for extraction. The client caught said Argonian in the act of killing a member of the guard in the estate. The client assumed he was with us (if only), then quickly realized he was there on other business. They parted ways without altercation. A strange coincidence, and it’s the most I’ve heard concerning Sharp in ages. Other whispers speak of him taking on mercenary or assassin work from some sort of job broker for patrons in House Telvanni.
Hearing these accounts fills me with a sorrow I can’t begin to explain and a fear that Sharp will end up right back where he started. For the time being, no one can seem to pin him down, which I suppose is a blessing and a curse.
I should warn you that in general, Sharp is not very approachable. By which I mean if you find him, do not approach him even with the intention of a friendly handshake if you wish to keep your hand. He’s antisocial and slow to trust, as anyone with his history might be. He doesn’t take well to crowds, and especially doesn’t do well with figures of authority. But under his icy exterior is a caring companion, a true and loyal friend who deserves a life of peace and dignity.
Unfortunately, Sharp will not know my name if you mention it. It’s a long story. If by some miracle you or someone you trust comes across him, tell him that someone from his past dearly wishes to see him again. Not only me, but someone he made a promise to a long time ago.
More than anything, Cyr, please treat him with kindness. I can only imagine how lonely he’s been while trying to find his place in the world alone.
Your friend,
R.T.
You’ll have the opportunity to encounter Sharp yourself when exploring the Necrom Chapter’s Telvanni Peninsula this June. The Argonian’s history is shrouded in mystery, but should you get to know him, you’ll find Sharp-as-Night to be a faithful, stalwart ally. Will you be recruiting Sharp as you tour the peninsula and worlds beyond? Tell us via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook!

Necrom Zone Preview—Telvanni Peninsula & Apocrypha
Discover the weird and wonderful worlds you can explore within the upcoming Necrom Chapter.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom, arriving June 5 on PC/Mac and June 20 on Xbox and PlayStation consoles, introduces two brand-new zones for Tamriel’s adventurers to experience: the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha. Both new zones include their own unique locations to explore, quests to complete, challenges to overcome, and rewards to earn.
Telvanni Peninsula & Necrom
Currently ruled over by House Telvanni, the Telvanni Peninsula with its towering mushroom forests, bizarre creatures, and craggy steppes might feel familiar to those who have ventured into Vvardenfell or Stonefalls, but this region remains politically distinct from the rest of Morrowind.
While House Telvanni controls most of the peninsula, Necrom, the region’s largest city, remains independent. Also called the City of the Dead, the ancient city serves as a spiritual hub for Dark Elves across Morrowind.
“The city of Necrom arose as Dark Elf (formerly Chimer) culture carried ancestral worship to the region in the First Era,” says Michael Zenke, ESO’s Loremaster. “The edicts and suggestions of their living gods, the Tribunal, led this region to be a hub for veneration of the dead and departed—a confluence on the mortal plane of Nirn to commune with the spirits of Aetherius.” The City of the Dead
The city allows all the Dark Elves to participate in their traditions, and it hosts great pilgrimages from all over Nirn. Due to its importance, Necrom enjoys a kind of neutrality when it comes to the political machinations of the Great Houses.
“Necrom is a holy city for Dark Elves of all houses and affiliations,” explains Murphy. “All acknowledge that such a place belongs to the Dunmer, and the Keepers of the Dead—the order that maintains the city—have fought tooth and nail to fend off the few conquerors foolish enough to try to claim it.” The streets of Necrom
For would-be adventurers and explorers, Necrom features all the amenities and opportunities of any major Tamrielic city, and it is home to daily quest NPCs, crafting stations, an Outlaw’s Refuge, and vendors.
The city bustles with traders, explorers, and hidden dangers, and yet there’s greater adventure beyond its high walls. With a host of delves and a public dungeon to experience, world bosses to conquer, side quests to discover, and all manner of wonderous sights, you’ll find no shortage of excitement within both Necrom and the Telvanni Peninsula.
Apocrypha & Chroma Incognito
The second explorable zone in the Necrom Chapter allows ESO’s undaunted adventurers to venture to the Daedric realm of Apocrypha. As the dominion of Hermaeus Mora, Apocrypha houses the collected knowledge of the Prince of Fate, and all manner of native Daedra and knowledge-seeking mortals call it home.
“Mortals have long sought the forbidden secrets of Apocrypha for their own gain, leading to a number of factions that vie for control of the stacks,” explains Zenke. “The Ciphers of the Eye, the favored of Hermaeus Mora, are a particularly powerful and well-established group. Their settlement, Cipher’s Midden, is one of the few areas that can be said to be ‘safe’ for mortals in this twisting realm.” Venture into Apocrypha
This warped Daedric realm is also home to a tentacled host of Daedra and Dremora, all (mostly) loyal to the Prince of Knowledge.
“Daedra abound in Apocrypha, as in any Daedric realm, with the most numerous being the floating Seekers–archivists of the endless library,” says Zenke. “Lurkers also slouch and squelch through the abyssal pools of Apocrypha. Adventurers can discover that these heavyweight soldiers defend Mora's secrets at all costs."
You might be an agent of Hermaeus Mora during your adventures in this part of Oblivion, but don’t let that lower your guard—many dangers prowl the shadows of Apocrypha, and all who walk its paths in search of knowledge should be wary.
“Knowledge is power, and power corrupts,” warns Murphy. “Mortal adventurers will almost certainly run afoul of the Hushed–ill-fated readers of forbidden lore that have mutated into monsters. Eerie and horrific Daedra, like Seekers and Lurkers, prowl in the shadows of books. And new invaders have established footholds in Apocrypha.” Beware Apocrypha’s dangers
You can experience these dangers for yourself when you venture into this strange world. However, when exploring Apocrypha in the Necrom Chapter, you can also discover an all-new part of Mora’s realm: Chroma Incognito.
Distinct from the rest of Apocrypha, Chroma Incognito is home to fates that never came to pass. It is a world of unclaimed potential, missed opportunities, and impossible futures that, for whatever reason, the Prince of Fate hoards within his ream.
“Hermaeus Mora is not just one thing—he is many,” states Zenke. “Chroma Incognito is a reflection of that, as all Daedric realms are a reflection and extension of the Prince that rules it. Chroma represents the ‘color out of space’ from Lovecraftian lore—the twisting threads of fate that Mora views and judges. Think of it as that feeling of being very, very small you get from gazing up at the night sky on a cloudless night. As a result, this ever-shifting region of Apocrypha contains multitudes: a crucible of faded fates, a drifting vortex of lost ships and sunken vessels, and a menagerie unlike any seen in all of Aetherius.” Chroma Incognito
This bizarre piece of Apocrypha becomes yours to explore at will, but be warned: like any other part of Oblivion, it exposes you to new mysteries and dangers that you need to overcome throughout your journeys. Between these two portions of Mora’s realm, you encounter unique delves to explore, a public dungeon to clear, world bosses to confront, and side quests to complete.
Reveal Secret Rewards
As you quest throughout the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha, you can earn rewards specific to the Necrom Chapter. This includes a host of Achievements, six item sets (three crafted, three that drop in the world), three powerful mythic items (dug up via antiquities), a new Tales of Tribute deck (Almalexia), and a huge mix of astonishing collectibles. Check your in-game Achievements
These collectibles include the Shroomtender’s Garb armor style (earned by completing various Necrom achievements), the Graht-Oak Squirrel pet (earned via both of Necrom’s public dungeons), the Obsidian Dwarven Sphere pet (earned via the new Bastion Nymic world event), unique outfit styles, mementos, emotes, and much more.
Complete almost every Necrom Chapter Achievement and you receive the stunning Berylglow Nix-Ox Steed—the ideal mount for your adventures across the peninsula and Apocrypha. Necrom’s Unique Collectibles
The Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha might hold untold mysteries and dangers, but those brave or foolhardy enough to dive deep into these two spectacular worlds find no shortage of in-game rewards awaiting them. Good luck!
New Worlds Await!

*C-A-P-S CAPS CAPS CAPS!
Come Face-to-Tentacled-Face with Hermaeus Mora (or His Followers) in These Quests!
Before the Necrom Chapter arrives in June, you can encounter the Prince of Knowledge in Elder Scrolls Online right now.
During the Second Era, Hermaeus Mora is certainly one of Tamriel’s more elusive Daedric Princes. While many of his fellow princes actively meddle in the affairs of Nirn, Mora’s work is much more subtle, and none more jealously guards secrets than the Lord of Knowledge.
That said, you can encounter the followers of the Gardener of Men or even the Daedric Prince himself in various locations in the game right now. Interested in discovering what Hermaeus Mora has been up to in Tamriel up to this point? Check out these quests below.
Help Mora’s Followers
As you explore the ESO base game, you can encounter Hermaeus Mora’s dedicated followers via various zone quests. For example, in the quests “Mistress of the Lake” and “Sunken Knowledge,” the Primeval Seekers of Bangkorai require your help securing some Ayleid ruins, while in “The Flooded Grove” the Wooded Eye cult of Greenshade need assistance handling a Daedric invasion.
In both cases, should you choose to assist the followers of Mora, you’ll be honored with an audience with the Daedric Prince himself. Find Herald Kixathi in Lake Halcyon, Bangkorai, and Orthenir in Rootwater Grove, Greenshade, to pick these quests up!
Battle Through the Vile Manse
If you’re seeking a challenge, you could investigate the Vile Manse and acquire the quest titled “The Walking Dreamer.” There, you battle your way through the mansion’s dungeons to help the Prince of Knowledge recover one of his most powerful tomes. Explore the Vile Manse
As a Public Dungeon, the Vile Manse is defended by large groups of enemies and dangerous bosses, so you might want to bring an ally—just make sure you keep whatever forbidden knowledge you uncover during your explorations to yourself!
The Vile Manse Public Dungeon is located in northwest Reaper’s March.
Open the Way to The Seeker’s Archive
Seasoned adventurers can find even greater challenge still via the “The Seeker’s Archive,” which you can acquire within the group zone of Craglorn. In this quest, you must open the way to a secret shrine to Mora. Discover danger beneath Craglorn
Since the archive is group content in the Craglorn zone, we recommend having a party of four players to tackle this quest and its various minions and bosses. That said, it is possible to battle your way through solo or quietly sneak in and out. Should you succeed, you gain another audience with the One Who Knows, which unlocks three additional quests. Get started by finding Ibrula and the ruins northwest of Belkarth, Craglorn.
Delve into Scrivener’s Hall
A great way to learn more about Hermaeus Mora is to investigate some of his devoted followers. In the newly released dungeon Scrivener’s Hall, you and three allies dive deep into the Scribes of Mora, a cult dedicated to the One Who Knows and the collection of all knowledge. Encounter cultists empowered by Apocrypha
While you won’t meet Mora face-to-face in this dungeon, you learn more about how his worshipers perceive him as well as his broader mission in Nirn. You can access Scrivener’s Hall by acquiring the Scribes of Fate dungeon DLC from the in-game Crown Store or via ESO Plus™.
Pick Up the Necrom Prologue
Finally, perhaps the best way to encounter Hermaeus Mora in ESO right now is to complete the Necrom Prologue. In this free base-game quest, you must prove your worth to the Daedric Prince and team up with his emissary, Leramil the Wise, to investigate a mysterious new threat. Earn a unique memento in the Necrom Prologue
You can acquire the Necrom Prologue by picking up the quest titled “Eye of Fate” free from the in-game Crown Store. This quest continues the Shadow Over Morrowind adventure and sets you on the path to the upcoming Necrom Chapter—good luck!
You’ll be seeing a lot more of the Prince of Fate when the Necrom Chapter arrives in June. Are you excited to delve into the mysteries of Apocrypha and Hermaeus Mora? Let us know via Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook.
