Craglorn is a zone in The Elder Scrolls Online located in northeast Hammerfell and separated between its highlands and lowlands, Upper Craglorn and Lower Craglorn, respectively. It is a desolate region situated between Hammerfell, High Rock, Skyrim and Cyrodiil.[1][2]
Background[]
- "Though crossed by caravans and Covenant troops going to and from Cyrodiil, this wild region of eastern Hammerfell is a virtual no-man's-land. It's anchored on the east and west by the towns of Elinhir and Dragonstar."
- ―Craglorn Loading Screen[src]
Craglorn is a region besieged by strange, otherworldly creatures, marauding Orsimer, and beings of immense power known as Celestials. An army of ancient, risen warriors of Yokuda lay siege in the west, led by the Celestial Warrior, while atronachs defile the land in the east, under the command of the Celestial Mage. In the north, an army of Iron Orcs under the command of the Celestial Serpent lays waste to the surrounding lands.[3]
The main storyline of Craglorn revolves around the disappearance of the constellations and how the otherworldly Celestials; the Warrior, the Mage and the Serpent; are impacting Craglorn. The Undaunted have a major presence in the region due to the extreme dangers and potential adventure, making sorties into the ancient forts and ruins in the area now occupied by otherworldly creatures.[4][5][6]

Skyshards[]
- Main article: Skyshards (Online)
Eighteen Skyshards can be found in Craglorn totaling in six skill points. 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.

Trivia[]
- Craglorn is divided into two regions. Lower Craglorn was the first introduced in Update 1 which contains Belkarth and Elinhir was the original version of Craglorn, while Upper Craglorn, the region containing Dragonstar, was added in Update 4.
- Craglorn was originally an "adventure zone," where all quests, delves, dungeons and trials were designed for groups of four higher-veteran-level players. However, with the One Tamriel update, the adventure zone model was discontinued and Craglorn was re-worked so that some quests and dungeons ware made accessible to solo players, while others remained group content.[7]
- There are no traveling merchants in this zone.
- There are no Shalidor's Library books in this zone.
