The Legacy Of The Bretons year-long adventure comes to a close with the Firesong DLC and Update 36, including the brand new story zone: the Island of Galen, plenty of new and interesting sets and Mythic items as well as several base game updates and quality of life features.
The Elder Scrolls Online: Firesong DLC arrives November 1 on PC/Mac and Stadia, and November 15 for Xbox and PlayStation consoles. You can get access to this new story DLC via ESO Plus™ membership or via purchase with crowns from the in-game Crown Store.
New Story Zone: The Island Of Galen
In Firesong, you can explore Galen, one of the four islands of the Systres Archipelago. Abundant and fertile, this isolated isle northwest of High Isle has long served the druid circles of the Systres. Galen features overgrown forests, inhospitable jungles, snaking lava rivers, woodland spirits, and creatures unique to this part of Tamriel. This new zone includes the usual Points Of Interest, Skyshards, World Bosses (including at least one Wandering World Boss, so be careful!) and other unique encounters.
The new zone of Galen.
How To Find The Island Of Galen
Galen lies directly North from the zone of High Isle. To reach Galen, you can travel there by Wayshrine or use the boat found in Gonfalon Bay.

Quality Of Life Updates
Some other useful new features are being added to The Elder Scrolls Online base game as part of Update 36. These features are free for all players, even those that do not have access to the Firesong DLC.
Target Markers
Update 36 for The Elder Scrolls Online adds a new feature called Target Markers which allows players to place a custom Marker above an NPC, an enemy or even above another player.
- To access Target Markers on PC, hold down the tab key on your keyboard.
- To access Target Markers on Console, hold down the right-arrow on the D-Pad.
- Marks may be self-applied by bringing up the target marker wheel without a target selected, then selecting an icon.
Once you place a Target Marker it will remain above the head of the target. The icon will also show up on your Compass, pointing you in the direction of that target.
Hiding Pets in Towns
Update 36 will also introduce a new feature in your settings to allow you to hide other players’ pets (hereafter shorthand to mean summoned class ability pets like Winged Twilights and Warden bears, vanity pets, assistants, and Companions) around certain high-traffic objects in the game. Specifically, this includes daily crafting writ bestowal boards, daily crafting writ turn-in crates, and basic crafting stations.
- Your own pets will not be hidden if this option is turned on, and if a player whose pets are hidden gets into a duel or combat while near the affected objects, the pets will reappear.
- The setting can be found within the Gameplay menu, then toggling “Limit Followers in Towns.” Again, this is an optional feature you can turn on or off at your discretion!
Housing Quality Of Life Improvements
Several improvements to the general housing system will also come in Update 36, including the following:
- Guest Decorators can access the Retrieval tab of the Browse menu, which includes Modify, Set Destination, and Precision Edit access.
- A display in the upper righthand corner, under the currently tracked quest, identifying which house you are currently in. This information will display the name of the house, as well as the account name for the owner of the house.
- You can now share links to any of your homes via Chat or the Guild Message of the Day!
- Links to your homes can be created from the Collections menu or from the House Information panel shown while in any house’s Browse/Inspection mode.
- The ability for you to cycle through targets using the Tab key in the Housing Editor’s selection mode. This will make selecting books in bookcases, fish in aquariums or cobbled items easier.
- Decorators, Visitors and Limited Visitors will now be able to view the list of furnishings placed in a house. Decorators will be able to modify, precision edit and place map markers on any furnishing or path node in the list of furnishings placed in a house, including furnishings that are behind a wall, in a box or with a fox!
- You now have the ability to set furnishings that hang on walls to align better with the wall.
- Several hundred furnishings were adjusted to use this new tech across a large range of furniture categories, most notably Art, Banners, Mounted DĂ©cor, Paintings, Sconces, and Shelves, to name a few.
- Furniture item tooltips will now include the furniture Subcategory under the Category on the top left of a furnishing’s tooltip.
- Slowed the speed at which the furnishing preview camera moved when flipping between furnishings.
- Previously, the camera pitched between heights of different furnishings as you switched between them very quickly, which could get jarring.
