Ultimate Khenarthi’s Roost Zone Guide
Khenarthi’s Roost Area Description
This island off the south coast of Elsweyr is named after the Khajiiti goddess of weather and the sky, who is usually represented as a great hawk. She finds many worshipers among the cat-folk’s sailors and farmers, especially those who grow moon-sugar cane.

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.

On your map, wayshrines will appear with a blackened wayshrine icon when you are close to its location. Once the wayshrine has been visited, the icon turns white.
What Is A Skyshard?
Skyshards are glowing crystals that provide you with 1/3 of a skill point. Collecting 3 skyshards grants you 1 skill point which can then be used for abilities and/or passives. High Isle and Amenos offers 18 total skyshards.

On your map, skyshard will appear with a blackened skyshard icon when you are close to its location. Once the skyshard has been collected, the icon turns white but then disappears from your map.

Once you collect all the skyshard from the zone, you will earn the Khenarthi’s Roost Skyshard Hunter achievement.
Khenarthi’s Roost Skyshard Locations
There are a total of 6 Skyshards in Khenarthi’s Roost.
Skyshard #1 – upstairs in the tower
Skyshard #2 – behind the top level of the temple on a table
Skyshard #3 – on an island amongst some rocks
Skyshard #4 – next to a wall
Skyshard #5 – behind the building on the cliff edge
Skyshard #6 – beside the cave entrance next to the cliff
What Is A Treasure Map?
Treasure Maps are rewards that show the location of special chests that can only be seen when you have the map in your inventory. You must travel to the specific location, dig the dirt mound, and then a chest will appear for you.
Treasure Map locations do NOT appear on your map. You can slot the maps for quick access to compare your location.

This map uses the chest icon to denote the location.

Khenarthi’s Roost Summary
Khenarthi’s Roost is part of the base game content in the Aldmeri Dominion alliance. It is a small island off the coast of Elsweyr. Moon-sugar plantations are operated by Khajiit and Maormer inhabitants.
After a devastating storm recently hit the island, Khenarthi’s Roost is now littered with broken ships, debris, and dressed Sea Vipers who are thought to have conjured the storm.
This is a great little area for new players to get the lay of the land when starting The Elder Scrolls Online. Enemies are not as powerful nor plentiful as they are in other areas. You can find skyshards, treasure maps, and learn how to use wayshrines while also enjoying exploration and a little combat. Don’t overlook this tiny little island.
