Do The Elder Scrolls shape your destiny, or do you shape their prophecies?

Tamriel is an ancient continent filled with rich cultures, diverse peoples, and legendary civilizations. It’s a land promising great things to those brave enough to make a difference. In the tumultuous Second Era, war rages across the continent, cults scheme in the shadows, and a powerful Wood Elf aims to reshape Tamriel forever.

Adventurers are needed—those good with a blade, armed with spells, or imbued with other skills. As the past, present, and future of Tamriel are chronicled in The Elder Scrolls, will those mysterious texts cite the betrayal of the Second Era do you have the makings of greatness?

Welcome to The Elder Scrolls: Betrayal of the Second Era, a cooperative adventure game for 1-4 players.

Embark on a campaign as agents from one of Tamriel’s many guilds. Throughout three connected sessions, players will complete quests while journeying, battling and delving in the diverse provinces of a continent in conflict. As players progress, they will develop and advance their chosen adventurer by spending experience points. The direction (and potential) of their character is entirely up to them, but regardless of how the adventuring party prepares, an intense endgame session awaits them!

Fans of the beloved world of The Elder Scrolls franchise can experience a multifaceted tabletop adventure unlike anything they’ve seen before, and fans of Chip Theory Games can sit down to enjoy years of gameplay design culminating in this rich, world-spanning campaign.

Custom Characters

While the stories told within The Elder Scrolls have always been enthralling, it’s been immensely satisfying for players to discover their own characters along the way. Khajiit cutpurses who become learned sorcerers. Humble Redguards who don a set of armor and wield a warhammer. Fleet-footed Argonians who assume leadership of the Thieves’ Guild. Race and class are just the beginning as characters evolve and react to the world of Tamriel.

Iconic World

Tamriel has been the setting for countless tales—Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim have all left their indelible mark on the collective conscience of gaming culture. Now you have a chance to build your own legacy in Tamriel during the tumultuous Second Era. Another history is being written in The Elder Scrolls, and you have the opportunity to alter its course. Explore the vast regions of the continent and leave your mark on its peoples and institutions.

Complex Quests

The social and political landscape is riddled with guild intrigue, and the quests that each secretive body hires out are the lifeblood of any adventurer in Tamriel. Without these guild directives, one can’t become a legend… or infamous interloper. In Betrayal of the Second Era, there are many forces vying for power in the vacuum left by the fall of Tamriel’s Second Empire. What agendas will you advance? What schemes and plots will you interfere with?

Three-act Campaigns

The game is designed to be enjoyed across three sessions, with an overarching narrative that connects from first to last. Your party will take on quests for specific guilds in one of Tamriel’s provinces, and each narrative discovery will lead to something more until the adventurers must defeat a shadowy threat to the continent. With nine guilds, numerous side quests, and province gazetteers full of conditional storytelling, there is so much in Tamriel to explore!
