ESO Eastern Solstice Zone Guide
Eastern Solstice is zone in The Elder Scrolls Online: Seasons of the Worm Cult (Part 2), a part of ESO 2025 Season.
Eastern Solstice is home to entrenched Wormcult strongholds. With the aid of new allies, you have to cross the fractured lands of Eastern Solstice and uncover the hidden legacy of the Stone-Nest Argonians if they hope to withstand the corruption that festers there.
Solstice Island is located south of Murkmire in (Black Marsh), in the Southern Sea.
The Solstice Island is divided into two parts: Western Solstice and Eastern Solstice. Both parts are separated by the necrotic magic barrier Writhing Wall.
The story of ESO: Seasons of the Worm Cult takes us from the Western Solstice, through the destruction of the Writhing Wall, to the exploration of the Eastern Solstice.
The island is a tapestry of cultures and history, marked by ancient Argonian ruins, towering Altmer spires, reed-built beach houses, and shimmering caves lined with colorful bismuth.
The main city of Solstice is Sunport.
"The isolated island of Solstice, off the southern coast of Tamriel, was mostly unknown or considered a cursed location by the mainlanders prior to the recent trouble with the revived Worm Cult. Now the Stirk Fellowship has opened the island to trade, diplomacy, and use as a staging ground."
The Writhing Wall Event
The Writhing Wall is a one-time, server-wide, community event, starting October 13, 2025, and lasting until the community brings down the wall between Western and Eastern Solstice.
The event is a continuation of the Seasons of the Worm Cult Storyline and is available to all players, including those without the 2025 Content Pass. However, without the Content Pass, you will not be able to perform any activities in Solstice other than those related to the event.
The Writhing Wall Event culminates in the opening of the passage to the Eastern Solstice Zone.
Map Completion for full Solstice Zone is common to Eastern Solstice and Western Solstice.

A Traitor's Tyranny
Master Tanertor - Sea and Sword Lodge Delve
The Worm Cult infiltrated a College of Sea and Sword lodge in Eastern Solstice. With the help of a traitorous lector, they invaded the lodge, trapped the apprentices, and stole a Daedric relic. I agreed to save the apprentices and recover the relic.
Master Tanertor gave me a keystone to activate the lodge's portal gates, where he suspects the apprentices would gather. I can find them in the northeast, northwest, and southwest lodge. He also asks that I recover the relic from Lector Fenworine.
02
A Cold Grave
Tesamoril
I met the spirit of Tesamoril in Western Solstice standing next to his frozen corpse. He asked me to find his wife, Healer Namreras, and inform her of his death.
Tesamoril told me Healer Namreras can be found in the Central Siege Camp. I can either lie and say Tesamoril died heroically, like he asked me to, or I can tell Namreras the truth that Tesamoril's death was an accident.
03
Blood on the Water
Suraj
Suraj, a member of Captain One-Eye's crew, begged for my help in stopping Velehk Sain, a pirate captain pursuing their ship out of Coldharbour.
Suraj said if Captain One-Eye survived, she'd rally the crew at the cliffs to the north. I should search for her there.
An extensive quest that ends with a voyage out to sea. The only tricky part is "Find a Way Onto the Caterwaul" where you have to use the Grapple Point on the ship's deck. Generally, remember that you can pull yourself up with the Grapple, as it will come in handy in other places.
Find a Way Onto the Caterwaul - Eastern Solstice - The Elder Scrolls Online (ESO)

A simple and quick quest to complete.
07
To Know The Void

I met Sahmazim outside a ruin called Xul-Katama, an ancient monastery of the death-dancers. With the Worm Cult encroaching on the monastery, he hired me to rescue some stone tablets before the cultists discover them.

Sadryn provided me with bait to place near the traps he and Golvyni already set out. They should be somewhere up ahead. I just need to place the bait near the sparking traps to lure the bear-lizards.
12
Choice and Consequence
Cariel
I met Cariel, an Eye of the Queen. Cariel knows that the Worm Cult is working with Prince Naemon. She wants to find out what they're up to and stop them.
I have to prove to Cariel that I can infiltrate the Worm Cult base without being seen. She gave me some small stones and said that throwing them at empty barrels will make a sound and distract nearby guards.
