==Development==
Concept art for Thieves Guild weapons and armor was first shown at QuakeCon in July 2014.Future of The Elder Scrolls Online Panel ― QuakeCon 2014 Datamined content showed that the city of Abah's Landing would have been on Cybiades, an island in northern Hammerfell.
Datamining contained factions known as the Twilight Lodge and Violet Lodge, which were cultist groups revering Nocturnal. A mission at the great altar for Nocturnal would have been involved with being recruited into the guild. The altar would have been located in Headsman Cosh's manor, before Cosh's rank was changed to Merchant Lord. In the All about Tamriel Unlimited ESO Live episode that aired on January 21, 2015, a preview of Abah's Landing was shown, designed with a rather different layout. The altar of Nocturnal, as well early colorful designs for Thieves Guild armors. The city of Abah's Landing itself was, at that point, littered with wild vegetation and trees, as well as many traversable platforms connected to buildings that players would have traveled on.ESO Live: All about Tamriel Unlimited 1/21/2015 ― Twitch
At some point however, this premise of the DLC was scrapped. The zone was changed to Hew's Bane; a region of Hammerfell opposite to Cybiades, located on the southern end of the province rather than the north. Whereas the Cybiades version of Abah's Landing was full of plant life, Hew's Bane was a very barren land where little grew. The zone lead Anna Murchison said that the general design of Abah's Landing was based on that of architecture, which was also the game that Hew's Bane was first officially given a name.Map of western Tamriel in The zone of Hew's Bane was based on Australia, outlined in early development as a desert area considered to be inhospitable, where "everything wants to kill you".ESO Live: Thieves Guild Special! 1/29/2016 ― Twitch
