Things start off simple enough as you try to determine who is murdering local councilors, but the situation quickly escalates. Without spoiling the story, Blackwood's arc promises to involve plenty of magic of the Daedric kind, with Mehrunes Dagon serving as the ultimate big bad. Adding to the challenge is the fact that the portals don't always start you off in the same place in the Deadlands. To find an Oblivion Portal, you'll have to adventure through Blackwood. These portals spawn randomly throughout the zone but don't appear on the map. That's not even counting the Oblivion Portals, which are portals to the Deadlands. The different biome types promise to provide variety in landscapes and enemy forces. The questline will have you adventuring through forests, bogs, and swamps, as well as heading underground into large cavernous areas. If it sounds familiar, this is the same Gideon that appeared in the very first Elder Scrolls game, Arena.īeing a crossroads also means that Blackwood has a mix of biomes. Leyawiin is the major hub city within Blackwood, so it has all of the services that you'll need. It's obvious that you're exploring a crossroads within Tamriel from the very start of your journey. Because of its location, you'll find a mix of races in Blackwood, with Leyawiin itself populated by Argonians, Imperials, and Khajiit.
