Elder Scrolls Online High Isle Preview: Welcome to Paradise
In the coming weeks, Elder Scrolls Online players will have an opportunity to explore High Isle, a new, never-before-seen location in Tamriel and the latest full chapter to launch for Bethesda and ZeniMax Online Studios' MMORPG. High Isle is the sixth chapter of Elder Scrolls Online to release and deviates from the formula of previous ESO expansions, foregoing a world-ending Daedric plot for a more contained, political intrigue story reminiscent of Elder Scrolls' storied past.

In the main story of the chapter, High Isle has been declared the site of secret peace talks to negotiate an end to the Three Banners War, and players can immediately be plunged into the politics and intrigue.
