About the game
The Daedric princes rule their respective planes of Oblivion, and their influence over mortals cannot be understated. Whether summoned to Tamriel for worship or study, these entities of great power will frequently strike deals and make pacts with those who dare. Such a bargain is laced with poison and sure to bring misery, but a serious adventurer doesn’t dismiss any potential advantage, and the prospect of wielding Daedric power is intoxicating! Each of the five Daedric princes comes with something akin to a side quest, offering a blessing and a curse. It’s recommended that adventurers play with both, but those looking to further manipulate the game’s difficulty could choose one or the other. With unique componentry and so many ways to adjust the gameplay experience, we’re very excited about what Shadows of Oblivion has to offer. Shadows of Oblivion introduces Hermaeus Mora, Sheogorath, Mehrunes Dagon, Azura, and Sanguine to Betrayal of the Second Era… for now!
