ESO Orienteering Challenge – Day 1

Greetings Explorers!
Get your maps ready and summon your fastest horse! Here are today’s clues:
  • Find Elaninwe, locked in endless battle against the dust from the Imperial City.
  • Set off in the direction opposite her admirer’s gaze.
  • Locate the crumbling wall, its large archway still intact.
  • Let the large arch lead you to the smaller, now broken.
  • Bound over the stones and descend the hill to find the ruined stair.
  • Travel along the road to the third birch beyond the fifth light.
  • Seek a toppled birch beyond another, also fallen, and traverse the narrow cleft.
  • Proceed east and stop at the third stump.
  • With the tower obscuring the cardinal, pass a dead tree and its young.
  • Continue until you find an arrangement of one stump, two bushes, and three stones.
  • Here your journey ends! /sit6 and rejoice!
As soon as you find the final landmark, post a screenshot of your character performing the required emote in front of it in this thread to gain honor and the chance to win a Bristlegut Pig.

Good luck and safe travels!

ESO-Orientierungslauf-Herausforderungen – Tag 1

Grüße Erkunder!
Haltet eure Karten bereit und füttert euer schnellstes Pferd, denn hier sind die Hinweise für die heutige Suche:
  • Findet Elaninwe, die im endlosen Kampf gegen den Staub der Kaiserstadt verstrickt ist.
  • Bewegt euch entgegengesetzt des Blickes ihres Bewunderers.
  • Findet eine zerbröckelnde Wand, deren Torbogen weiterhin der Witterung widersteht.
  • Lasst euch von diesem zu einem kleineren, bereits verwittertem Bogen führen.
  • Bewegt euch über die Trümmer und lauft den Berg hinab, um die ruinierten Treppenstufen zu finden.
  • Folgt dem Pfad zur dritten Birke, nach dem fünften Licht.
  • Sucht nach einer gefallenen Birke, nahe einer anderen bereits am Boden liegenden und folgt der schmalen Spalte.
  • Bewegt euch weiter gen Osten bis ihr zum dritten Birkenstumpf gelangt.
  • Zieht weiter mit dem Kardinal vom Turm verdeckt, vorbei am toten Baum und seinem Sprössling.
  • Führt eure Reise fort, bis ihr an einen weiteren Stumpf gelangt, der nahe zweier Büsche und dreier Steine verweilt.
  • Hier endet eure Reise nun mit /sit6 und Jubel!
Sobald ihr den Zielort erreicht habt, erstellt einen Screenshot mit eurem Charakter, während dieser das jeweilig benötigte Emote verwendet. Postet diesen dann in diesem Thread, um euch zu selbst ehren und euch die Chance auf ein kleines Borstenschweinchen zu verschaffen.

Viel Glück und gute Reise!

Défis d’orientation ESO – Jour 1

Salutations, exploreurs et exploratrices !
Attrapez vos cartes et appelez votre cheval le plus rapide ! Voici les indices du jour :
  • Trouvez Elaninwë, embourbée dans une bataille sans fin contre la poussière de la cité impériale.
  • Engagez-vous dans la direction opposée au regard de son admirateur.
  • Localisez le mur branlant, et sa voûte toujours dressée.
  • Laissez l’arche vous guider vers celle, plus petite, désormais brisée.
  • Dirigez-vous vers les pierres et descendez la colline pour trouver l’escalier en ruines.
  • Empruntez le chemin vers le troisième bouleau, au-delà de la cinquième lumière.
  • Cherchez un bouleau déraciné, par-delà un autre bouleau, lui aussi déchu, et faufilez-vous dans l’étroite faille.
  • Dirigez-vous vers l’est et arrêtez-vous à la troisième souche.
  • Le cardinal caché par la tour, passez l’arbre mort et son arbrisseau.
  • Continuez jusqu’à ce que vous trouviez un arrangement d’une souche, deux buissons et trois pierres.
  • C’est ici que votre voyage prend fin ! Asseyez-vous donc (/sit6) et célébrez votre victoire prochaine !
Dès que vous trouvez le dernier point de repère, postez une capture d’écran de votre personnage effectuant l’emote requis devant lui dans ce fil de discussion, pour une chance de remporter le Porcelet Poilcouenne.

Bonne chance et bon vent !

    Well I'm going to try my luck with this one as it said stump... The other one one does look much more like what I would expect though...

    *Edit*

    Well here is the other location as well, might as well try for both :disagree:

    I'm going with this one even if I'm clearly not the first one here

    Edit, actually I think the second spot might be better. Still not first.

    On another note, I ran into a dirty aldmeri on the way and chased his ass down for about 10 minutes. Milkalus of Uthengrad (Oh whatever your name was) That was a hell of a kill.

    Congratulation @frankgonetom_ESO‌ !
    And compliments to everyone else who reached the same spot.

    Was this one challenging enough or do we need to be more cryptic next time?

    And this is where she is:

    I was working on a guide, but I guess what I found wasn't actually the right spot! I actually passed the correct spot after I was done, but thought it was too far north.

    Still was a lot of fun, and I'm glad to see a handful of other people found the same spot as me.

    Since the contest is over, but for those still looking:
    She is east of Ash by the lake. The first clue of course brought me to the lake around the Imperial City, specifically the broken bridge on DC's side. Wouldn't you know I made a complete lap clockwise instead of heading south. :disappointed:

    I still can't find the dang cleft. Even went to the end spot to back track and nothing. Can someone take a screen shot to prove it's existence?

    Here is what I thought the " 3rd birch after the fifth light" was with the first toppled tree in the background.

    Then that lead me to here. I thought this was it, but maybe not.... because after that I get lost.
