Historical Reinactments: The Battle of Red Mountain

Tabbycat

First, I'll start with a Reference for those unfamiliar with ES lore: http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:Battle_of_Red_Mountain

In the current timeline of ESO, Vvardenfell is not open up to outsiders. This got me thinking about what to do with the area. I think it would make a fantastic setting for an Adventure zone. Cadwell would give us some reason to go there that makes sense lore-wise or at least doesn't break lore. The zone could involve helping Nerevar unite the Chimer (Dunmer) houses and Ashlanders to confront Kagrenac and the Dwarves at Red Mountain. The final battle, of course, being a large group Trial or even lengthier "raid".

Opinions? Do you think it could work? Would players be interested in something like this?

Edited for clarity.

I always say ''More is better'' so yes please.

I love the story set up, but I do not like it to be another group only zone.

Solo players had no new content for 3 months now, if it continues, there would be no reason for them to keep playing.

Hey, there are plenty of instances in the game where you go back in time for something like this.

Why not?

Exciting. What a way to stir the "bring back the Dwemer!" and "what's up with all this magicky time travel?" crowds at once.

I'd rather stay in the present if possible. But to witness these events... tempting. And there is indeed a problem with opening up Vvardenfell, so ZOS will end up solving it in a controversial manner one way or another.

I still want to know what happened to the Dwemer, so yes please!

We probably still wouldn't know exactly what happened. All we know, according to lore, is that they all disappeared at once. We don't know if they went to another plane of existence, became the skin of Numidium or were wiped from the face of Nirn. The historical reenactment wouldn't tell us that. We'd just witness their disappearance.

Anything new is fine by me as it gives me and others even more things to *** with. Keep in mind this is an MMO so it's expected to last years instead of months and I know they're already looking at a timeline of at least 2 years for adding content. So since Paul Sage along with other devs have something like the next 2 years already story boarded so-to-speak, we have a TON of new "stuff" to look forward to.

I always thought it was pretty cut and dry with the "what happened to the Dwemer" question. Seems obvious to me they installed themselves inside their constructs using soul gems.
