There’s been some big news as of late in the world of Elder Scrolls Online. Legacy of the Bretons, the next expansion due to release for the popular MMORPG, received a lushous new announcement trailer setting up the events that’ll take place in the upcoming content.
This trailer (embedded below) brings back some familiar faces from previous cinematics as they investigate the actions of rogues breaking into a palace of some sort. Breaking inside, they arrive too late to save the inhabitants inside, as a mysterious armoured figure has already claimed the deceased's position as their own.
Okay, but what does this all mean? Well, taking a look at the official ESO website this nefarious character is described as the Ascendant Lord - the leader of a mysterious group of knights - who wants to disrupt peace talks in the ongoing Three Banners War. The assassination in the trailer appears to be one component of this dastardly plan.
