Summary

  • The Glory Holes of Oblivion mod for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered allows players to shoot arrows and cast spells through gates and also enables enemies to do the same.
  • Whilst the mod is listed as containing adult content owing to its name, the term ‘glory hole’ originates from drawer or box meanings, where things are stored disorderly.
  • This is due to the word ‘glory’ likely stemming from the Scottish word ‘glaur’, meaning to make something dirty or defile.
  • A different glory is where the term comes from, this time meaning a circle or ring of light and originating in the 1690s.
  • The glory hole was first used in a court case of 1707 and became popular at a time when discussions about queer people had to be discreet.
