The developers of MMORPG The Elder Scrolls Online have shared the preview of Oathsworn Pit. It arrives on March 11 for PC/Man and March 26 for Xbox & PlayStation consoles as a part of the Scions of Ithelia DLC pack. You can test your mettle in the new dungeon after its release by purchasing it from the in-game Crown Store or by acquiring the ESO Plus membership.
The Oathsworn Pit used to be a training ground for Malacath’s followers but has recently been overrun by a mysterious group of Wood Elves. The God of Curses demands retribution, and you will act in his name. The story of the dungeon will let players explore the many facets of this oft misunderstood and maligned Daedric Prince.
“Malacath’s an interesting prince. He’s the Lord of Ash and Bone, the Oathbreaker, and the God of Curses, but to Orcs, he’s Mauloch the Lord of the Sworn Oath—Defender of the Betrayed,” explains Helena Wachhaus, one of ESO’s Writer-Designers. “With this dungeon, we explore how Orcs view Mauloch. He might be a vengeful and bloody Daedric Prince—and the Oathsworn reflect this too—but when his followers’ trust is betrayed, he’ll make sure that dishonor is repaid.”
It is here that you will also encounter one of the major factions of the upcoming Gold Road Chapter, the Recollection. They have a lot of schemes and plans that won’t be immediately apparent. Orc Bazrag will assist you in fighting the invaders, avoiding traps and uncovering secrets.
Cleansing the Oathsworn Pit comes with a number of rewards, including collectibles, achievements, and unique item sets. One such set is the Cinders of Anthelmir, a set of Light Armor. Dealing damage to the foe while wearing this set creates a Cindermoth that will chase your enemy. Coming into contact with the enemy causes it to explode, dealing Flame Damage and applying Burning to enemies within 8 meters.
