They have been both defenders and conquerors, each invading each other’s lands at various times, but we don’t even know what the Akaviri look like. The far-off continent of Akavir has a long history with its western counterpart Tamriel. ![]() Which brings us to our final destination, a land which is repeatedly referenced in Elder Scrolls but we know very little about. I think we can rule these two out based on the decidedly un-swamp-like trailer, and I don’t think bougie elves would enjoy roughing it on a rocky coast. Black Marsh is tropical province with swamps and horny lizard people while the Summerset Isles are the Altmer (high elves), whose name literally means “Cultured People”. That leaves two provinces unaccounted for, Black Marsh and the Summerset Isles. To be honest, the coast in the trailer could be found in any of these four provinces, but Bethesda has established a tradition of moving to another province when it announces a numbered Elder Scrolls game. They’ve all been used as settings for the biggest titles in the franchise. The reason to discount these places is simple: we’ve already explored the hell out of them. The unlikely: Cyrodiil, Skyrim, Morrowind and Hammerfell The south is said to be filled with jungles, while the north is more desert-like, so that area in the trailer could be somewhere in between. It’s also got a lot of geographic diversity. Like Valenwood, Elseweyr has never been the primary setting of an Elder Scrolls game. The Khajit who hail from here are easily the most oppressed race in Tamriel, mostly because they look weird and sound funny to all the racists living in the other provinces. The land we see in the trailer doesn’t look much like a swamp, but Valenwood is a big place, and the coasts in the north may not be as temperate.Įlsweyr is another southern province right next to Valenwood. As a result, Valenwood is covered in forests which gives way to swamps along the coast. The Green Pact forbids them from harming any sort of vegetation for any reason, including for food or building. The southern province of Valenwood is the home of the Bosmer, wood elves who revere trees so much that they subsist purely on meat. These places are in the running because (1) they’ve never been the subject of an Elder Scrolls game before, and (2) we don’t know much about them. Other possibilities: Valenwood and Elsweyr ![]() Most of their cities are along the borders of the peninsula, just like that possible settlement we saw in the trailer. The magically adept Bretons share this province with the Orsimer (basically orcs). It’s got a rugged beauty that’s in line with the coast shown in the Elder Scrolls VI teaser. We get to see some of it in Elder Scrolls Online, where it’s shown as a predictably rocky and high place with mountains, a few trees, and a constant presence of clouds. The most likely candidate: High RockĮven if you’ve never played an Elder Scrolls game before, you can probably imagine what a place called “High Rock” looks like. However, Bethesda also wouldn’t release a teaser in 2018 without expecting millions of fans to tear it apart to find the barest clues. This is one game that Bethesda has clamped down pretty hard, so there aren’t even rumors to go on. Maybe it’s actually a pile of rocks that we’re loading all of our dreams and expectations onto. There seems to be some sort of settlement built along the shoreline. ![]() Bethesda Game Studios, Bethesda Softworks ![]()
