About The Elder Scrolls: Arena

The Elder Scrolls - Arena is the first RPG fantasy game of the Elder Scrolls series.

He allies himself with the mage Jagar Tharn who is unfortunately intent on stealing the emperor's throne. Jagar Tharn imprisons the emperor in another dimension and locks the key inside a dungeon under the imperial city. Your job is to find all the pieces of the key, reassemble it, kill Jagger Tharn and free the emperor.
