Naj-Caldeesh
Naj-Caldeesh story:

Update 47: Base-Game Quality-of-Life (Free)
The free Update 47 patch introduces four major Quality-of-Life (QoL) improvements available to all players immediately upon logging in.
Mount Swimming in ESO!
A truly long-awaited ESO feature, players will finally be able to remain mounted while traversing water. This eliminates frustrating dismounts, offering a smoother and less interrupted Elder Scrolls Online exploration experience. Swimming mounts in ESO are finally here!
Stackable Survey Reports
Similar to the stackable crafting writs introduced in Update 46, this change will allow survey reports to stack in your inventory (1 stack per profession). This seemingly small but significant improvement will free up valuable inventory space, a welcome change for (not so) diligent gatherers. The change is not retroactive, meaning only new survey reports will stack.
Infinite Archive Vision Re-Roll
Update 47 introduces the highly requested ability to re-roll Visions in the Infinite Archive. While it will cost an increasing amount of Archival Fortunes, that amount will reset, offering players more strategic control over their Infinite Archive runs.

Replayable Quest Dialogue
For those who enjoy revisiting ESO story elements or missed details, the ability to replay ESO quest dialogue is a fantastic addition, enhancing the narrative experience.
Two new houses in Update 47
ESO housing enthusiasts, rejoice! Update 47 introduces two new homes:
Hiddenspring Cottage
This charming medium home is located in the Gold Coast zone. Hiddenspring Cottagewill be available for purchase in the ESO Crown Store sometime after Feast of Shadows and Update 47 officially launches.
Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos
A magnificent notable home found in the West Weald zone, the Wildgrown Chapel of Julianos is the highly anticipated final morphing collectible reward for the year.
