Elder Scrolls Online Can Now Be Claimed for Free via Epic Games Store
The MMORPG Elder Scrolls Online can now be claimed for free via the Epic Games Store on PC. The promotion is valid from today through next Thursday at 5 PM and includes the base game (usually priced at $19.99), which also provides access to the Morrowind Chapter.
Elder Scrolls Online has registered over 22 million players across all platforms. Last month, the game received its seventh expansion (or Chapter), Necrom. Necrom adds two new regions: the Telvanni Peninsula and the Daedric Realm of Apocrypha.
The Telvanni Peninsula had not appeared in an Elder Scrolls game since the very first installment of the franchise, Arena, released in 1994. It is home to the highly reclusive and self-centered mages of House Telvanni of the Dunmer, or Dark Elf, race. Visually, it takes some cues from the beloved Morrowind geography with the giant mushrooms.

The Telvanni Peninsula is also where Necrom, the hub city that gives this Elder Scrolls Online Chapter its name, is located. Necrom is rumored to be incredibly old and possibly built on the bones of a creature once defeated by Vivec, the Dunmer Warrior-Poet God. It's also where the noble Houses bury their dead.
Apocrypha, on the other hand, is the kingdom of the Daedric Prince of Knowledge, Hermaeus Mora. It looks very different and everything is seemingly made of books, including some cute creatures.

Epic is also running a cross-promotion where if
