Blackwood is a Location in Elder Scrolls Online (ESO). Blackwood was added with the Blackwood Chapter and is accessible to all characters of all levels and Factions.
Caught between the Argonian homeland and Imperial province of Cyrodiil, the region of Blackwood is beset by Daedric influence, and its people struggle to survive would-be tyrants and Oblivion-spawned evils alike. Including the Imperial City of Leyawiin (first featured in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion), the Niben Forest, and open wetlands of the Blackwood Bog, you’ll have the opportunity to explore a diverse land in strife, investigate the emerging Daedric threat, and discover all-new stories, challenges, and rewards not found anywhere else in Tamriel.
Players gain access to Blackwood (after downloading the DLC) by visiting their faction's beginning city (Daggerfall for DC) and accepting the quest from ??. All enemies and resource nodes are Battle Leveled.
Oblivion Portals
The forces of Mehrunes Dagon are keen to invade the lands of Blackwood and mean to do so via new Oblivion Portalevents. You’ll seek out these portals, venture into the Deadlands, and put an end to the invading army before it can wreak havoc across all of Tamriel.
- Oblivion Portals will appear randomly throughout Blackwood. Entering a portal takes you to the Deadlands, Mehrunes Dagon’s Daedric home.
- There are multiple pathways to explore within the Deadlands.
- Defeating the denizens of the portals will award you with Jewelry from the Blackwood overland item sets.
Companions
Companions are non-player characters who can aid you on your adventures throughout Tamriel. Once called to your side, these stalwart allies will assist you both in and out of combat. Fighting alongside your companion and taking actions they approve of will improve their effectiveness and allow you to build rapport, respectively. As you earn their trust and strengthen your bonds of fellowship, your companion may share personal quests with you. You may also give them companion-specific gear and customize them in a wide variety of ways, including setting their abilities, mounts, costumes, outfits and more. (See our Companions page for more information)
- Bastian is found in the Deepscorn Hollow along the southwest coast of Blackwood
- Mirri is found in the Doomvault Vulpinaz in north Blackwood
- In population-limited instances such as dungeons, group arenas and trials, each companion present counts toward the population cap as if they were a player.
- Companions cannot be summoned in PvP areas, solo arenas or in housing instances. They also cannot be summoned while you are in combat or if the summoning character has not yet completed the associated introductory quest, even if the collectible has been unlocked by another character.
- If the relationship between the character and companion deteriorates into very low rapport states, the companion may voluntarily unsummon themselves and be unavailable to the associated character for a time.
- Companion visibility may also be briefly suppressed in some situations where they are unable to navigate to your character, such as while swimming.
