I've finally got my only character, a Nightblade, to VR14 playing through the main storyline, Cadwell's Silver/Gold and mucking about in Craglorn. Since most of the population of Craglorn seem to be grinding through its Spellscar zone I though I'd have a wander around Cyrodill and try some of the quests there.

I haven't got my head around the siege warfare aspects of the game yet (having played most of the main content solo with the odd bit of grouping) but that may come in time. The PvP aspects of Cryodill are appealing to me but I do seem to be rather unprepared.

I've only had a few PvP encounters, all of which have been very brief and exceedingly terminal (the last being a werewolf that knocked me off my feet in a dungeon, then killed me before I'd even managed to get back up). Now I had to learn different strategies and level up different skills to survive in Craglorn, but there are plenty of opportunities for practice. In Cyrodill I hardy every meet another player and when I do I'm dead in an instant, revive miles away and then spend forever wandering around again. I guess that all the players I meet will be geared up for, and experienced in, PvP and will dispose of me with familiar rapidity; I'm finding it difficult to get any meaningful practice in before expiring.

Had do people hone their PvP skills (turning up at a siege tends to be an even briefer experience than random encounters)? I could do with some sort of Arena/practice area for new PvPers; does such a thing exist or do I just need to do it the hard way?
