The stupidest yet most important thing I've done on Day One of Gold Road is roleplay Glarthir for several hours in the middle of Skingrad

Mistress of the Untraveled Road

Ithelia if they described her to me by voice and I were deaf. and blind. happy Gold Road release!

[rlycandir]

MY (lol) Ithelia; mostly based off of her Official Statue, anyways... I guess her Daedric Artifact is an reality bending Lucet Fork, which is used for cord making (cut the cord cause you know strings cord of fate or w/e) Also she should of had a Kintsugi Moment. (no spoiler btw; again based off statue and that picture of her looking like she had too much skooma)

[imagineargonians]

so. hermaeus mora and ithelia. the opposites and enemies. the eso version of sheo vs jyggalag. hermaeus mora looks like an eldritch scary monster but is actually a reasonable guy. what if ithelia just LOOKS like a normal woman, but mentally is completely unhinged. like batshit insane chaotic pro-multiverse behavior?

So we got some Fennorian lore in Gold Road!

This is nice cause we knew basically nothing about him prior to his time with the Ravenwatch, and now we have a little extra context, though not any he was expecting us to be privy to.

Let’s discuss. Spoilers for ESO Gold Road, specifically the quest “Vesper Vintage” in West Weald.

So from what I’ve gathered, and this may very well be refuted in future content, here’s what we know:

- Fennorian is very young, by vampire standards especially and maybe Altmer standards as well, as his time as a mortal is within living memory

- He’s most likely from a noble family in Summerset

- He was betrothed in a business arrangement of sorts to an Altmer named Usilia, but he abandoned her and the rest of his family once he was turned. They don’t seem to hate one another but certainly aren’t in love

- We don’t know why or how he was turned but we can guess it wasn’t pleasant, as he specifically tells the Vestige he doesn’t want to discuss it with them yet despite trusting them

Now, his age is up for debate here. Usilia remembers him as a mortal, but we don’t know how old she is either; Altmer can be very long-lived. But we can guess she’s young as well since the betrothal wasn’t that long ago, and noble families tend to want their children married off fairly early, especially if it’s a business deal.

The way they have him wary about telling us how he was turned suggests that the writers want to explore it in the future at some point. Or they don’t know. I doubt that though.

Thoughts?

Screenshots: New furnishings in U44!

(inexhaustive because I mostly care about plants, see Futerko's video for full list & where to get.)

New Dawnwood trees will be at Mahei-Jekka in Skingrad; Tree, Giant Dawnwood Growth (U42) on the right for comparison:

The three new Dawnwood trees + new Tree, Small Willow:

Plants:

I'm SO glad to get this one (request fulfilled!) but it is a botanical crime that the Calathea-leaved stalk is categorized as a "fern", I hope it will be fixed! –

The shrub cluster is a wonderful size, I hope we'll see more BIG landscaping pieces like this:

Weird little compositions with the new plants:

Also this stone, but I'm not very excited about it because the Large is pretty small. It will take a lot of slots to do anything with these:

The above are all buyable from Mahei-Jekka in Skingrad.

The below will be furnishing plans. Great if you like furnishing plans and want to make some big sales when they release, since the economy is still trashed.

Not so great if you, like me, are SO FREAKING TIRED of running that kitchen and getting "Formula: Vial, Delicate". IYKYK.

Dawnwood furnishing Wishlist fulfilled! Thank you ZOS! Now we're just missing modular pods & giant mossy boulders ;)

Next up, the new companion achievement furnishings — both AWESOME!

Tanlorin's Empathic Portal Remnant, a pretty vfx item:

Zerith-var's Sky Spirits Reflection Pool:

We sorely needed clear water, so this pool is great!

I'd love to see more big, natural water pieces like ponds. The ones we have are small (Sulfur Pool) and saturated blue (Firesong Spring, Basalt).

To purchase, these only require completing the companions' quests!:

Finally, a few of the Ayleid lights (plans)! (Request fulfilled!)

That's all I can fit in this post!

All these fulfilled furniture wishlist items are making me feel like it's Xmas for Halloween! Or rather, New Life gifts for Witches Festival :D (The Update 44 base-game patch arrives October 28 for PC/Mac and November 13 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles.)

gold road travels (polaroid-style, for small prints to put on my shelf)

[itsfennix]

i just realized we’re only three weeks away from Gold Road PC release… 👀

[i-simp-for-fennorian]

More golden Fenn. 🧡

I need the scholar personality to come back so I can get it on PC.

[harlequinalis]

Okay I was so hyped to finally see Ithelia but now that she has a canon design I was a bit disappointed that she looked so human? So I quickly threw together a shitty doodle combining the Ithelia I had been picturing in my head for months with some of the canon vibes blended in... wish they would let the daedric princes be more alien looking but alas 😔

[unironicallytes]

glarthir you are like dangerously close to achieving chim and we all kinda need you to chill out a little

[caliblorn]

FUCK the MQ, im on that TOXIC FART build GRIND 📈⁉️

[thetamrieltraveller]

So I am a staunch defender of Elder Scrolls Online, and have been playing over 10 years. The writing in the Gold Road chapter so far is excellent, so why did they make Ithelia look like she’s called Methany, and her plane of Oblivion is coachella? Everything about this model looks like it was done badly and I can’t look at it in game and have to turn away and listen to the dialogue!
