The MOP Up: Elder Scrolls Online’s daughter of giants

The countdown is on for Elder Scrolls Online: Greymoor. One of the characters that you will bump into in Skyrim is Lyris Titanborn, a daughter of giants and all-around amazing gal.

“What else do you need to know about Lyris Titanborn? She’s been to Coldharbour and back, so never count her out.

There’s no one I’d rather march into battle with than the half-giant of Skyrim.”
