First Look At ESO’s First DLC Of 2023 Scribes Of Fate
Scribes of Fate
In a live event, Bethesda shared some great images from their internal server so that we may have a sneak peek into Scribes of Fate, the first DLC of 2023 coming in March. Scribes of Fate will begin the year-long story Shadow of Morrowind. Since this was on the internal server, there may be some differences in the images you see (and the stats on the much-anticipated gear) and what is finally released.

Two New Group Dungeons
There are two new group dungeons coming soon. Bal Sunnar, which is near a township in the mountain area of Stonefalls, has a temporal disturbance. As you learn the store, you will see there are enemies with poisoned plasma covering them, and the possibility of time travel through portals or rifts. There are three bosses. Hints were dropped that there were also secret bosses. Stay tuned.
Schrivener’s Hall is the second group dungeon and it is located in the southern region of The Rift. This Hall was home to the Scribes of Mora but those who were followers have now turned fanatical. Another neat thing about this dungeon is that you will encounter a friendly watcher! Zilpaeth will tag along through the dungeon and also lockpicks doors for you.
No Combat Preview
Combat previews have been a little disjointed because you haven’t been able to see the combat in action. So ESO has decided to release combat notes with the pts notes once the PTS server is live instead of doing a preview. PTS servers for Scribes fo Fate will go live on Monday, 1/30/2023.
Update 37
With the Scribes of Fate DLC, we will receive Update 37. This is a free base game update for everyone. There are a few changes and only a few small details were discussed. More information will be available with the patch notes to be released on January 30.
Looking Forward to Necrom
Of course everyone is excited for the new chapter to be released in June, Necrom. We only received a few details to hold us until then.
There will be a new trial called Sanity’s Edge. The new class, the arcanist, is part of the chapter. You must purchase that chapter to have the new class. They slipped in the name of another returning fan-fav NPC, Asher! There will also be two new character slots available fur one will be free. And lastly, ESO hinted again that there will be an ‘endless dungeon with a buddy’ coming with Update 40 and the Necrom chapter.
