ESO Charity Initiative to Save Cats and Other Pets Kicks Off with Connected In-Game Events and Quests
The Elder Scrolls Online has always been about players coming together to triumph over threats to Tamriel. Today, ZeniMax Online Studios invites fans on a quest to confront a real-life challenge: saving and improving the lives of pets across the world. In partnership with GlobalGiving, Best Friends Animal Society (North America), and FOUR PAWS (pan-European), players will work to save real life and in-game cats and more by participating in special events and other content to raise money.
In ESO’s Elsweyr Chapter, released in June, the cat-like Khajiit and their homeland of Elsweyr are under siege by Dragons. Players can save Elsweyr’s feline citizens by slaying Dragons, and for every five winged-beasts felled through December 9, Bethesda will donate $1 USD, up to $200,000.
Players can also donate directly to the campaign at www.elderscrollsonline.com/en-us/slaydragonssavecats.
The $200,000 donation will be split evenly between Best Friends Animal Society and FOUR PAWS. Let’s join forces, take down some Dragons, and help out our furry friends together, starting today through December 9, 2019!
Dragon Rise
Over the duration of the charity initiative, players can look forward to a number of in-game activities beginning with Dragon Rise, kicking off on October 3 at 10AM ET and rolling through October 14. Dragon Rise lets players explore Northern Elsweyr’s striking locales, take down merciless Dragons, and complete the Dragonhold Prologue to unlock three unique rewards for allElsweyr players. You’ll find those rewards as well as a progress tracker here. And to top it all off, all Dragons killed during Dragon Rise count toward the #SlayDragonsSaveCats charity initiative!
Dragonhold Prologue Quest
Speaking of prologue quests, players can hop in and play an introduction to the final installment of the “Season of the Dragon,” Dragonhold, starting on October 8 and free for all players. Sai Sahan, the last of the Dragonguard, needs your help. The player is tasked with scouring Dragonguard sanctuaries, looking for anything that may help in the last push against the dragon menace.
