I agree, the new concept art pieces are great. Any chance you could upload some high-res versions of them?

i.e. 1920x1080 please!

I have just killed the evil hagraven, weak from battle I try to run but my stamina low. I can't fast travel because the
witches are everywhere, they surround me... I take a big breath and scream "Fus Ro Dah!!" to clear a path way to run
away. I come back and say "Vendetta is Upon you".

Last Friday, The Elder Scrolls Online Legendary Limerick Contest concluded. Thank you to everyone who participated! We hope you had as much fun creating Elder Scrolls-inspired limericks as we had reading them. Over the past week, we compiled the hundreds of amazing entries we received and put them through several rounds of internal voting before we ended up with a list of finalists, and eventually our winners and runner-up. Fun fact: Over 70 of the Elder Scrolls Online devs personally read and voted on the finalist entries.

We’re proud to present to you the Legendary Limerick Contest winners and runner-up, and their entries. Enjoy!

Legendary Limerick Contest Winners

There once was an elf from the Isles
Whose elf friends all warned him for miles
Mannimarco they said
Do not play with the dead
No cheer comes from skeleton smiles

- By Brian Kellner in Colorado, USA

We praise the Lady Nocturnal
Who guides us from fires infernal
With the night she invokes
In the darkness we cloak
So that shadow may hide us eternal

- By Austen Fisher in Oregon, USA

Two Khajiit snuck across town
After stealing a valuable crown
When they found they were lost
The thief said to his boss:
"You're holding the map upside-down!"

- By Michael Droz in Nevada, USA

Legendary Limerick Contest Runner-Up

A hero sat over a flagon
'til he learned he'd the soul of a dragon
Thus he traveled the land
Daedric sword in his hand
Dealing justice yet stealing from wagons

- By Patrick Byrne in Massachusetts, USA

They were quite good, just a bit of a coincidence that they were all from USA :tongue:

Yes, a coincidence.

Awhhh. I thought for sure mine would at least receive an honorable mention.
Maybe it was because it was too obscene? dunno.
Nevertheless,

I once was a warrior like never been seen.
Until I received that arrow to the knee.
I rebelled and I partied and wed housecarl Lydia,
Come to find out she transmitted Chlamydia.
These days I fight symptoms while sipping on mead.

This was my attempt which I agree is not as good as the winning ones

Title: Learning to speak Ta’agra

Speak of yourself in third person
Much harder to chat to than Elves
One studied their mind
Not surprising to find
Khajiit never talk to themselves
