Why is this the Telvanni Peninsula though? There is nothing Telvanni, nor Peninsular, about this region.
This is an Indoril/Temple region in lore, and isn't a peninsula.The Telvanni Peninsula is the bit to the north of where this zone ends. (A peninsula is "a piece of land that is almost entirely surrounded by water but is connected to the mainland on one side." Without the northern section, it isn't a peninsula by itself.)
If we're naming this region [House] [Geography] it would be Indoril Highlands.
Edit: Official lorebook "Great Houses of Morrowind":
Indoril District occupies the heartland of Morrowind, comprising the lands south of the Inner Sea and the eastern coast.
Everything from Mournhold up to Necrom should be Indoril.
The stretch of land between (and including) Mournhold and Necrom was the Indoril territory, as that house had no Vvardenfell presence outside of Ordinators posted in Vivec. The Indoril grip of that territory only weakened after the Septim conquests, which means that in ESO's timeline the Indoril dominance should be indisputable. I thought inventing High Isle out of thin air was a massive blunder that would be difficult to top. But ZOS does have a knack for such suprises.
There are old design documents for TES III which featured the actual peninsula and the three nearby islands as Telvanni territory, with the capital in Port Telvannis. That whole idea was expanded upon in the Tamriel Rebuilt mod.
The design of Apocrypha is a thematic failure. One of its main strengths in Dragonborn was the labyrinthine, confusing and claustrophobic layout. It should be a network of tunnels and chambers, more dungeon-like than open world.

Looks like this fan-made map was a reference. 🙃Why is this the Telvanni Peninsula though? There is nothing Telvanni, nor Peninsular, about this region.

Why are we not going up to 21? That way, we can have three of every class, one for each role. What a ridiculous number to stop at!

This is also baffling the peninsula is above the region you're calling the Telvanni peninsula. I don't know what happened this year but this is a mess.

The entire land mass east of Bal Foyen could be considered part of the peninsula that extends to the north. These things are hardly going to be scientific.
As to who controls that land in 2nd Era, it is possible Telvanni only has influence in the west. It will be interesting to see how they reconcile "Tel Dreloth" where "Amber Forest" is in the 3rd Era.
I'm not willing to spend money to find out, so I will wait for others to tell me.

Yes the whole thing is a peninsula, but as soon as you take the end off, that definition no longer holds. Someone mentioned High Rock above - the whole of Glenumbra is a peninsula, but Cambray Hills, by itself, is not. This situation is directly equivalent to Cambray Hills - the region that is labelled "Telvanni Peninsula" can't be a peninsula by itself without the northern tip.
Will be interesting to see how much, if any, of the lands here are Indoril.

It kind of sounded to me like the end-of-year new feature was going to be some kind of group thing, unless I misheard/misunderstood, which wouldn't be of any real interest to me personally.
That said, it was a no brainer that I'd buy a new PvE zone(s) to explore, so pre-ordered already, .
Content looks nice. Hermaeus Mora and his world definitely very attractive, and a new class which feels interesting. Still all that denotes is more interest in pve and zero for pvp. Why is that? Where is the BALANCE between these two sides of the game? Also I read nothing about MyM in the upcoming events. Where is that also?
Also why more humans? I mean redguard for arkanist? Whatever happend to the high elves after Summerset? Are they really that bad mages to be never again connected with anything magic (of which Tamriel is full of) - beyond the Pisjics and Summerset? Seriously? You do Hermaeus Mora and have a HUMAN to be the representative of your new magical class? (I will not pick on the redguard psijic we got for houseguest - another mockery against the high elves!)
