Encounter the ancient Witchfolk of the Reach, explore deep into Arkthzand Cavern, and confront a darkness that threatens all of Skyrim with free access to the Markarth zone and storyline.
Markarth Moves
Continue your Dark Heart of Skyrim adventure with the Markarth zone and storyline now free as part of ESO’s base game and Season Two. Right now, you can explore the part of southwestern Skyrim known as the Reach (and an expanded Blackreach) and conclude the saga that began with the Greymoor Chapter (also now free as part of Season Two).
Explore the fortress city of Markarth
To begin your journey to the Reach, navigate to your Collections UI, select Stories, and then find Markarth listed under Zone DLC. You will acquire the opening quest, which points the way to this treacherous part of Skyrim.
The City of Stone
Season Two: Echoes of Skyrim continues with Markarth’s zone and storyline all moving to the ESO base game. If you’ve yet to explore this dangerous part of Tamriel, now you can do so at no cost!
Be warned: the inhabitants of the Reach are especially stubborn and suspicious of outsiders, and you’ll need all the help you can get if you’re to uncover its secrets.
