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.

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!
Whether you’re excited to delve into the volatile political world of House Telvanni and Necrom or the unknowable wonders and horrors of Apocrypha, the Necrom Chapter’s two unique zones provide explorers with all manner of adventures, challenges, and rewards.

Community Spotlight—Homemade Shrines to Mora
Take a moment to admire the devotion of Mora’s most faithful by perusing this collection of player-made shrines to the Daedric Prince of Knowledge.
With the release of The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom rapidly approaching, many (quite worryingly) have Hermaeus Mora on the mind. Knowing this, we reached out to our talented community of ESO home designers to ask them to build and share homes and scenes dedicated to Oblivion’s most infamous hoarder of knowledge. Here are just a few of our favorite creations:
Turns out that masses of hovering eyeballs and writhing tentacles can make for some excellent, avant-garde interior design!

*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.

Necrom Lorebook Preview—Master of the Tides of Fate
Let’s take a sneak peek at one of the many lorebooks you can discover during your adventures within the Telvanni Peninsula and Apocrypha.
Master of the Tides of Fate
By Leramil the Wise
Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Fate, goes by many cognomens including the One Who Knows, the Lord of Secrets, and the Master of the Tides of Fate. This latter appellation always intrigued me, so I decided to dig deeper into the origins of that particular title for the Keeper of Forbidden Knowledge.
I suppose the question begins, what exactly is fate? That depends on the philosophy you follow, of course, but the predominant viewpoint describes fate as the development of events as determined by a higher power. While the nature and identity of that power remains in contention, it is clear that Hermaeus Mora has dominion over at least some aspect of fate. As the ever-seeing eyes, he constantly scrys the tides of fate to determine what is destined to happen next. Hence, he is called the Master of the Tides of Fate.
As far as I can tell, the One Who Knows does not alter or direct the way fate unfolds. He does, however, observe where the threads lead and follows them to their inevitable conclusion. Forgive me for mixing my metaphors, but describing fate can be challenging. Some see fate as a loom, constantly spinning out threads of destiny. Others construe it as a vast ocean, with currents and tides that ebb and flow forever into the future.
So, where does the name Master of the Tides of Fate originate? I believe it comes from those followers of Mora who see knowledge and fate as a vast and fathomless ocean. They imagine Mora as suspended above or within this ocean, constantly peering into its depths to track the currents of fate. He is the master, not because he controls destiny, but because he knows every possibility and outcome intimately.
Indeed, there are regions of Mora's realm of Apocrypha that resemble nothing short of an endless sea, holding secrets and forbidden knowledge beneath its surface. In the end, who can say which actually came first? The idea of Hermaeus Mora as a vast entity cataloging the tides of fate, or the image of the great Prince hovering above an ocean in Apocrypha and peering into its depths? Perhaps one is just a reflection of the other.
Written by one of Mora’s most valuable mortal agents, this book provides only a glimpse into the all-knowing Daedric Prince Hermaeus Mora. The One Who Knows plays a key role in shaping the destiny of both Oblivion and Nirn in the upcoming Necrom Chapter.

Recapping the Necrom Chapter Preview & ESO Celebration
See what you missed from the recent Necrom Chapter Preview livestream and ESO Celebration!
Just last week, we had the pleasure of hosting the Necrom Chapter Preview to open the 2023 ESO Celebration in Las Vegas, Nevada. It was an incredible community event, and we were thrilled to once again be able to share ESO’s future with the #ESOFam and celebrate the game with them.

If you missed the show, don’t worry, you can watch the entire Chapter Preview below.

As part of The Elder Scrolls Online’s anniversary fun, starting today and running until April 18, 2023 at 10AM EDT, when you gift five (or more) Event Tickets to your friends or guildmates, you’ll receive four Ragebound Crown Crates from us on the house!
To get your hands on these valuable containers, follow these simple steps:
From the Crown Store, gift five or more Event Tickets to anybody in-game during the Anniversary Jubilee event.
You can find Event Tickets within the Events section.
You can split the gifts between multiple recipients, so all five tickets don’t need to go to the same individual.
Following the conclusion of the Anniversary Jubilee, you’ll receive four Ragebound Crown Crates.
Your Crown Crates will be delivered by May 31, 2023.

Don’t forget, this offer is available only during the Anniversary Jubilee, which ends April 18, 2023.
