The Elder Scrolls Online v11.1.5 – Feast of Shadows & Update 47

Feast of Shadows
Two New Dungeons! A new PvE dungeon pack, Feast of Shadows introduces two challenging new four-player dungeons for Tamriel’s adventurers to explore and overcome. Both dungeons feature their own complete stories and in-game rewards while tying thematically into the larger Seasons of the Worm Cult saga.

Naj-Caldeesh
The legendary Xanmeer of Naj-Caldeesh was hidden long ago. All but forgotten by the Stone-Nest Argonians of Solstice and left with few defenses, it seemed as though the Xanmeer’s secret would remain buried. However, a faction of Argonian Necromancers uncovered the entrance. Help stop the necromancers before they can corrupt the mysterious power inside and unleash Naj-Caldeesh’s Voskrona Guardians on the rest of Solstice.

Black Gem Foundry
In one of the many twisted pathways of Coldharbour lies the freshly forged Black Gem Foundry. The cruel masters of this infernal armory are fusing black soul gems into weapons and armor, resulting in armaments that steal life essence with each attack. Dalenor the Summoner, scholar of Daedra and friend of atronachs, barely escaped with his life after discovering the Foundry’s nefarious plot to send these armaments to support Coldharbour’s forces along the Writhing Wall. He’s located a portal that leads directly to the Black Gem Foundry, but he needs your help to shut it down.
