Coldharbour

Molag Bal's realm of Oblivion, where The Elder Scrolls Online begins.

Coldharbour is the realm of Oblivion belonging to the Daedric Prince Molag Bal, who in The Elder Scrolls Online is attempting to meld the plane of Mundus with it. The game begins in Coldharbour's Wailing Prison, where the player character's soulless husk, a soul shriven, has been enslaved after Molag Bal stole their soul.

Lore & Background

Once the Amulet of Kings is retrieved, the player's headquarters move to the Hollow City, a location in central Coldharbour blessed by Meridia; civilians rescued from Coldharbour's prisons gather there, and attacks on Molag Bal's territory are launched from it.
