Summerset (Online)

For other uses, see Isle of Summerset.

Summerset, also known as the Isle of Summerset, is a zone that appears in The Elder Scrolls Online: Summerset. It takes up the entire northwestern portion of its parenting province, the Summerset Isles, and is the largest of the three islands. The capital of the province, Alinor, can be found here. The island is overrun with red, pink and vibrant green trees, as well as numerous rocky cliffs, while its cities can commonly be found on Summerset's long coastlines. The architecture of Summerset's cities includes pointy spires and white walls.^[1]

Background[]

"The land called Summerset is the birthplace of civilization and magic as we know it in Tamriel. On its idyllic sea-kissed shores live the Altmer, the High Elves."

―Loading screen^[src]

While Ayrenn, Queen of the Aldmeri Dominion, is the ruling monarch over all of the Summerset Isles, the capital of the Dominion is instead situated in the Valenwood city of Elden Root. As Ayrenn is often far from Summerset's shores, her cousin, Proxy Queen Alwinarwe, administers the province from Alinor in her stead.^[1] For much of its history, outsiders were not allowed to enter Summerset without explicit permission, but in 2E 582, Ayrenn issued a degree allowing free entry to any who wished to make the voyage, much to the chagrin of the island's nobility.^[2]^[3]

Coinciding with the Queen's decree, a triad of Daedric Princes conspired to invade Summerset to their own ends after attacks in Vvardenfell and the Clockwork City.^[4]^[5] The Daedric forces, allied with Sea Sload, began forming Abyssal Geysers across the island and enacting their plan for domination. The Daedric forces comprised of the cultists of the Court of Bedlam and Yaghra under the command of Sloads and would perpetrate attacks across the island against its people and the Divine Prosecution.^[1]

Quests[]

Main article: Quests (Online)
