"Each event is preceded by prophecy. But, without the hero, there is no event."

Hi, it's time for another weekly update. It was ’ 25th anniversary on Monday, so the week was full of events in celebration of this milestone! Sorry for this wall of text, I probably should have done a blog post for PAX/TES25 stuff.

TES

 * Mobile
 * A new expansion for has been announced; The Alliance War! There will be 5 factions, each with a tri-colour deck and unique mechanic, plus a new playmat and music. The expansion will be released on April 15. To see what you can get for pre-ordering and a look at some of the cards (including Mannimarco!), head over to this article. More cards were revealed at PAX. That's not the only expansion for Legends this year, with three more on their way! It was revealed that 3 more expansions will be coming to Legends later this year!
 * The monthly reward card for March is Murkwater Scourge, a 3/1 Goblin that can get you a Curse both when played and when it dies. You can read more about the card here.
 * After a long wait, was finally released! It is currently in Early Access at the moment, but it is at least finally playable. You can still sign up for Early Access if you haven’t. For more information, and a list of compatible mobile devices, take a look at this FAQ.


 * Online
 * To commemorate 25 years of the Elder Scrolls, the prologue was free to play for all players on the 25th this week. If you missed out on that, worry not. The Free Play event to try out ESO for free started on Thursday and will end on April 3rd. This is for all platforms and gives access to the base game. Since the prologue is a part of the base game, this means you can still have a go at it! Here is everything you need to know to get started.
 * Want to get into ESO, but still can't decide whether it's for you? Check out this post on why now is the perfect time to get started.
 * Dragonscale Crown Crates are coming to the Crown Store. There's a bunch of mounts, a pet and a Namira statue, to name a few things available. You can have a look at the full review here.


 * TES25
 * If you haven't already claimed for free for PC, you still can, up until tomorrow. This offer was extended because of technical issues in redeeming the code earlier this week. Here is how you can get it.
 * There was a panel at PAX including Todd Howard, Pete Hines, Matt Firor and a few others that discussed the past 25 years of TES, everything from milestones to memories with the community. This section kicked off with a lovely video about everyone's time in Tamriel, from devs to players. We got a sneaky sneak peak at some The Elder Scrolls VI development through this video. For example, the amazing Shirley Curry is officially going to be in the game! Photogrammetry is also mentioned as a technique they're bringing in (with pictures of rocky, dry cliffs shown as an example. Hammerfell? Elsweyr?).

TES Wiki

 * Yet another reminder that the two consensus threads are still up. Please do not hesitate to voice your thoughts!
 * Creation Club content, and how we cover it
 * ESO Creature/Character templates confusion
 * The moot is next Saturday. If you have something you'd like to bring up, you can sign up on the project page.
 * Here are this week's notable contributions. If you have access to Blades, maybe you could be one of next week's?:
 * Dabarkspawn – maps
 * FrisyN – books/maps
 * Super Skrub – skills
 * TinyClayMan – items
 * Wendigohmer – characters

Wikia

 * Technical updates:
 * March 27, 2019: Two known issues with images – there were some issues where images sometimes did not download in the expected file format
 * March 28, 2019: Add category tool and missing image fix – the ‘add category’ tool should now be able to be used on file pages, plus a fix to deal with missing images
 * And finally, discussions is getting updates! By use of article tags (like adding topics to forum posts, it seems) and Community Feeds, which was trialed on a few wikis, this further bridges the gap between the /d and the main wiki. Other features coming in the future include text formatting(!!!) and @ mentions. Full details can be found in this blog post. There is also a thread on what this update means for the Forum.

That finally concludes this week's update, sorry again for the length. Have a great week, and happy editing!
