Gold Road Story
Welcome, Vestige, to West Weald, a familiar yet unsettling region bordering Cyrodiil, central to the Gold Road Chapter. This iconic part of Tamriel, last seen in Oblivion, returns with new threats and an ancient mystery. Here, the landscape itself is subtly changing, mirroring the strange magical phenomena afflicting the written word across Nirn.
At the heart of this unfolding crisis is a newly awakened Daedric Prince, Ithelia, the Prince of Paths and the Mistress of the In-Between, whose influence is causing the very fabric of reality—specifically, the concept of a stable past—to unravel. The story delves into the consequences of forgotten memories and altered histories, with the West Weald serving as the epicenter of these paradoxes.
To uncover the truth behind the shifting script and confront this new Daedric threat, you'll need to own the Gold Road DLC or an ESO Plus subscription.
