Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom new class

For the first time since 2019, The Elder Scroll Online will be introducing a new class, otherwise known as the Arcanish.

As described on the games website, the Arcanist is “a powerful new class capable of destructive, restorative, or defensive magic by channeling arcane energies, ancient runes, and lot tomes of power” proving this magic-based class will be extremely versatile and undoubtedly powerful.

Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom storyline

Essentially, the Necrom expansion is all about the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora, as predicted by a letter sent to Elder Scrolls Online fans.

Unmatched powers are threatening everything Hermaeus Mora stands for by attempting to uncover his secrets. In doing so, the consequences could unravel all of reality.

It’s up to you to work with the Prince and seek out the knowledge deep within the City of the Dead to uncover a vast conspiracy threatening to destroy everything around you.

Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom new features

Along with a new class, location, and storyline, the next Elder Scrolls Online chapter will introduce some new features for players to enjoy.

Two new companions

Necrom will introduce two new companions to join players on their journey through Tamriel. The first is a Redguard Arcanist named Azandar Al-Cybiades and the second is an Argonian Warden who goes by Sharp-as-Night.

You’ll be able to gain their favor, unlock unique quests, and have them help you across Tamriel and though the new storyline.

Added trial

No Elder Scrolls Online expansion would be complete without a challenging trial for players and their friends or guild to take part in.

Necrom will be adding a 12-player trial names Sanity’s Edge, with players heading into the mind of a tormented Mages Guild recruit to save their life, and gain some great rewards.

Oblivion Raids World Event

In the same way that no expansion is complete without a trial, every new chapter must have an exciting World Event for players to complete.

The Necrom World Event will be in the form of Oblivion Raids wherein players will have to open a protal to Oblicion and defend the Prince of Knowledge from evil Daedric forces.
