For other uses, see Wrothgar.

Wrothgar, also known as the Wrothgarian Mountains, is a zone in the province of High Rock in The Elder Scrolls Online. It borders Stormhaven and Bangkorai. It is available as a DLC which is purchasable from the Crown Store and is focused on a more solo-based player experience. The main quest of Wrothgar will take approximately 25 hours to complete—roughly the same length as Skyrim's main quest. Prior to Update 12 (One Tamriel), Wrothgar was designed to be available to all character levels, with players being level-scaled to the zone.[1][2]

Background[]

"The Wrothgar Mountains have been home to northern Tamriel's Orcs since the beginning of recorded history. Invading armies have marched into these peaks countless times to suppress the fractious Orcs, but the clans always rise again."
Loading screen[src]

Wrothgar is under the control of King Kurog gro-Orsinium, where the Orsimer are rebuilding and reoccupying the city of Orsinium. South of the city is a patchwork of strongholds and wilderness. Eastern Wrothgar is a mountainous, icy region home to giants, horkers and other creatures. This is where Orsinium is located. Central Wrothgar is a rocky tundra, with a very large waterfall spilling down into the lowlands. Western Wrothgar is a forested temperate region.[3]

The followers of the Code of Malacath are distrustful of the Orsimer Kurog gro-Orsinium and his Daggerfall Covenant allies as their ancestors, the Bretons and Redguards, destroyed Orsinium many times throughout history. Simultaneously, King Kurog is sympathetic to a sect of Trinimac worshippers who wish to do away with the Code of Malacath.[4][5]
