About the game
Summerset, one of the most beautiful places in Tamriel, is under the control of the Aldmeri Dominion. A land of magic and mystery, there is no end to what adventurers will discover. Mages wielding Aedric spears roam the province, and their insight may prove invaluable. Assassins on the hunt for their marks have also been seen at night; maybe their skills will prove useful in these dark times. In Summerset, magical anomalies abound. Adventurers must be wary, as unexpected things may occur before they’ve had time to prepare. As you delve below ground, the land remains unstable! Mages thrive in this land, and these spell-casting connoisseurs can manipulate rolls, moves, and even enemy actions. Assassins lurk in the shadows, waiting to strike at powerful quest units who prove too tempting a target. The Assassin upgrades once they’ve eliminated the threat. Aedric Spear encourages clever character builds between battle forms with heavy weapons that rely on the range of your magicka stat. Assassination renders enemies vulnerable to critical strikes and aids players with damage augmentation. Keep an eye out for Grim Focus! The possibilities in front of you multiply, and there is more than one path to greatness in the Second Era.
