In the latest The Elder Scrolls Online video, lead loremaster Lawrence Schick and lead writer Wynne McLaughlin discuss the threat of Molag Bal, the God of Schemes, and the journey players must make to the Oblivian plane of Coldharbour to reclaim their soul.
"Using daedric machines called Dark Anchors, he plans to merge the world Tamriel with world of Coldharbour in Oblivion, which is the realm he rules," said McLaughlin. "There is an ancient prophecy in The Elder Scrolls that says the soulless one will thwart Molag Bal's plans; and in fact the player is the soulless one."
