What Is A Wayshrine?

Wayshrines are shrines that were built to honor the Divines by being a safe haven point where players can revive if you die while adventuring in Tamriel.  Once you visit a wayshrine, it becomes available on your map for you to use to fast travel at no cost.  You can also travel to any unlocked wayshrine from anywhere in Tamriel for a price paid in gold.  This price reduces with time and also can be reduced by champion point allocations.  Each zone begins with one available wayshrine.

Betnikh is a small island south of High Rock.  It’s landscape offers steep cliffs and lush interiors.  Originally owned by Bretons, it was conquered by the Orcs and who maintain the main stronghold Stonetooth Fortress.
