Fortnite

Fortnite is a online third-person shooter video game developed by Epic Games. It is known for its popular Battle Royale gamemode released on September 26, 2017, where 100 players fight to the death until only one player or group remains. Coinciding with a The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom promotion where the base game was given away for free from July 20 to July 27, 2023, several cosmetic items were added during Chapter 4: Season 3 as part of the Heroes of Tamriel Set, primarily themed after the Nord Hero from the cinematic trailers.

==Notes==
* The items were originally encrypted under the "Folk Evening" codename when added during Patch v25.11 on June 27, 2023.Fortnite x Elder Scrolls datamine reveals epic Nord-inspired skins
* If you purchase the Ebonheart Battleaxe from the Item Shop and then later purchase The Elder Scrolls Online: Necrom from the Epic Games Store, you will automatically be refunded 1,200 V-Bucks.
** The Ebonheart Battleaxe Back Bling acts as a sheath for the Pickaxe, hence its ID of Backpack_FolkEveningSheath. The Pickaxe version looks significantly more worn down compared to the much cleaner Back Bling, with context given by the item's description that this is due to its combat usage in Cyrodiil.
* The Nord Warrior is titled a "Character" instead of an "Outfit", though it is not yet an NPC and for all intents and purposes is functionally an outfit. He is also not referred to as the "Nord Hero" despite that being his primary name in promotional material.
* The Sigil of the Alliance War is a moving back bling based off the Ouroboros logo of the game. There was a bug where if you claim The Elder Scrolls Online a second time after obtaining Sigil of the Alliance War, you would instead receive 300 V-Bucks. This was quickly patched, and players who received the V-Bucks had them removed.
* Elder Scrolls is officially canon to Fortnite and by extension is linked to a great amount of collaborative franchises whose properties have made their way into the universe, including that of our own Earth, and other Bethesda properties such as the Doom Slayer from Doom. Doom (2016) has a skeleton with the Dragonborn iron helmet from Skyrim as well.
