The Elder Scrolls Online has been steadily growing in popularity as MMO for a variety of reasons. The game's fully-voiced, detailed interactions with countless NPCs throughout the enormous world of Tamriel are certainly part of it – the other thing drawing players in is the beauty of the game's many unique locales.

Fans of The Elder Scrolls series wanting to immerse themselves in a more beautiful Tamriel have two options: install a number of mods for Skyrim, or play the relatively modern Elder Scrolls Online. While ESO is an MMO at heart, it nonetheless captivates players with its vast world and stunning aesthetics– plus, it has a large amount of DLC for even more exploration.

10 The Crypt of Hearts Entrance, in Rivenspire

The Crypt of Hearts is a dungeon in Rivenspire, and available to members of the Daggerfall Covenant. The area is riddled with a purple glow and soaring towers that impose over the rocky landscape.

More so than almost any other spot in the game, the entrance to the Crypt of Hearts emits an eerily intimidating presence on players about to enter its depths.

9 Tu'Whacca's Throne, in the Alik'r Desert

Tu'Whacca's Throne is a set of ancient ruins located in the middle of the Alik'r Desert. Only players venturing through Myrkwasa will ever see this monument, which is located a little bit southeast of the zone's only city Sentinel.

These ruins are the gem of the Alik'r Desert, and though much of the area is destroyed, the Throne itself is still standing. In-game, the area is the subject of a variety of quests related to The Withered Hand.

8 The Entire Auridon Zone

Auridon is one of the largest islands in the Summerset Isles, just north of Artaeum. It's a zone that's stunning no matter which way the player looks – one way you'll see cherry-red trees dotting an overgrown rocky terrain, and the other you'll see beautiful high elven architecture accenting the landscape.

If there's one place to see in the entire zone, though, it's the Isle of Contemplation. The short bridge that leads to this enchanting, colorful island in the middle of a lake is at the north end of Auridon.

7 Orsinium, in Wrothgar

Orsinium is the oft-referred to but rarely-seen home city of the Orsimer. In-game, the city is under the process of being rebuilt following the dissolution of the Second Empire. It can only be visited in the Orsinium DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online, though, and is located in the unlocked Wrothgar zone.

The city is embedded into the side of a mountain high above Wrothgar, and it's as fun to explore as it is to sit and marvel at the city's intimidating stone towers and orcish architecture.

6 Alinor, in Summerset

Alinor is the capital city of the Aldmeri Dominion located in Summerset. It's a city that takes a large deal of inspiration from Gothic cathedrals and could rightly be compared to Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland.

Summerset itself is one of the most visually stunning locations in all of The Elder Scrolls Online, but to visit Alinor itself you will need to download the Summerset DLC.

5 Vivec City, in Vvardenfell

Vivec City, of course, was the major city in The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and was given a facelift for the Morrowind DLC for The Elder Scrolls Online. The zone is far, far more complex than most players anticipate, but while they're lost players can at least enjoy the breathtaking Cantons of the city.

Look above the Temple Canton to see something a little bit odd: a meteor hovering above the city. Vivec, the God-King, actually keeps it from destroying the city as a test of faith, though its origins are unknown.

4 The Entire Stonefalls Zone

The Stonefalls is a zone towards the lower area of Morrowind, across the sea to the south of Vvardenfell. It's an incredibly dark, tempestuous kind of zone with multiple areas where breathtaking lava flows through the zone's many lava rivers.

The Ash Mountain, a volcano in the eastern part of the Stonefalls, is the source of this lava. The mountain is constantly erupting, and it's an absolutely incredible sight to behold as it does.

3 The Shrine of Azura, in Vvardenfell

The Shrine of Azura is a shrine to the Daedric Prince of Dusk and Dawn, located in Azura's Coast within the island of Vvardenfell. The shrine sticks out above the rest of the landscape, and is even visible from a decent distance.

Azura takes the same form of the shrines present in the original Morrowind and in Skyrim, where she raises two hands up to the sky: one holds a moon, the other holds a sun.

2 Root-Whisper Village, in Murkmire

Root-Whisper Village was once home to the Root-Whisper Tribe of Argonians who were destroyed by the High Elves. The player can re-invigorate the village through a series of quests, but the real draw is the visual masterpiece of Deep-Root, a cave beneath the village.

The cave has clear Native Central American aesthetic inspiration, and it is as overgrown as it is intricately detailed. To access this area, though, the player must have the Murkmire DLC.

1 The Temple of the Divines, in Wayrest

Wayrest is the capital city of the Daggerfall Covenant located in High Rock, and a place that most players will get to eventually. While the city itself has some beautiful qualities, to it, the Temple of the Divines is something every player must witness.

The temple features an incredibly beautiful, colorful stained-glass window behind the main altar table that lights the room entirely. While the outside of the temple is relatively unremarkable, the stained glass windows will leave most players in awe.
