Markarth is the latest DLC game pack that is part of ESO Plus or that can be purchased from the in-game shop for Crowns.

A new solo arena, Vateshran Hollows, is part of the new content as well. Players can test their “strength, wits, and resolve with challenging bosses, multiple unlockable paths, and powerful, hidden secrets that can help you claim the honored title of Spiritblood Champion”.
