We gave the prompts, and you gave the passion! Here are some of our favorite results from the community’s efforts.
An Elder Scrolls Online tradition returned this year in the form of TESOctober 2023, with prompts for the community to create art, screenshots, and more. We’re now delighted to share a few of the many incredible results we encountered. As always, the community’s amazing efforts made this less of an exercise in choosing favorites than simply a highlights reel of the talented #ESOFam. Check them out for each prompt below:

~ Dungeon
Khajiit is sick of it all, Khajiit wants to return home! His last chance for freedom is through the dungeon. The master keeps an escape route out of his mushroom tower, but who would expect there would be traps? pic.twitter.com/xMchhL8Gvt

What better monster to fit the spirit of Halloween for the final #TESOctober prompt "Dungeon" (October 28-31) than the big final skeleton boss itself from Unhallowed Grave! Happy Halloween!#TESOctober #ESOFam pic.twitter.com/iUsbEoZaQl
