Thieves Guild
Released: March 7, 2016 - PC/Mac, Consoles - Patch Notes
In size, this update seemed smaller than Orsinium, as Hew's Bane is a small region with Abah's Landing, the jewel of Hew's Bane, but it brought ESO the Thieves Guild, a completely new skill line, many new gameplay features and QOL changes. It also brought us the Maw of Lorkhaj, to this day a fan-favorite trial due to its well crafted story, gameplay mechanics and complexity.
