Bal Foyen is a coastal zone in the province of Morrowind in The Elder Scrolls Online. It is the second of two smaller zones that make up a part of the Ebonheart Pact's story, the first being Bleakrock Isle.
Background[]
- "Bal Foyen, on the southern coast of Morrowind's Inner Sea, was a wild expanse of marshland until recently. Now much of it has been turned over to the Dark Elves' former Argonian slaves, who plant saltrice and herd guar in the former wastes."
- ―Loading screen[src]
Bal Foyen is a volcanic landscape of towering fungi, ash-filled winds, and many native creatures, such as kwama, netches, rats, and guar.[1] Once nothing more than a wild expanse of marshland, much of this small region of Stonefalls was granted to freed Argonian slaves upon the creation of the Ebonheart Pact.[2] The soil has been fertilized by the ashfall carried by the winds from Stonefalls, making Bal Foyen an ideal place for farmers and herders.[source?]
The Argonians who now make their homes here have established small farming settlements of shabby mud huts, built up near their guar pens, and grow saltrice and other crops in the fertile soil of the former wastes. The zone is also home to Fort Zeren, a fort built by the Dunmer to protect both Bal Foyen and Davon's Watch from attack.[1]

Quests[]
- Main article: Quests (Online)
Bal FOyen features a series of zone story quests and unrelated side quests. The zone story quests tie into the Ebonheart Pact's overarching storyline and carries on from Bleakrock Isle before continuing to Stonefalls. It is not necessary to complete the story quests for zones prior to those in Bal Foyen. Side quests are non-sequential and can be completed in any order, except where one carries on from another. Repeatable quests can be completed multiple times: weekly for arenas and trials and daily for all others.
Item Sets[]
- Main article: Item Sets
Item sets are related armor and weapons that, when worn together, provide unique benefits. Overland sets can be acquired from world bosses, world events, delves, public dungeons and containers and as quest rewards; dungeon sets can be acquired from within group dungeons; monster sets can be acquired from the final boss of veteran group dungeons and Undaunted Enclaves; and crafted sets can be created at specific locations across the zone.

Skyshards[]
- Main article: Skyshards (Online)
Three Skyshards can be found in Bal Foyen totaling in one skill point. The zone guide provides clues as to the location of each Skyshard, but many can be found simply by exploring and watching for the distinctive pillar of light they emit. Skyshards will appear on the map and compass when the Vestige is close to one and will remain discovered on the map even if it was not collected.
