    It's likely a bracketed code that when input displays a floating tooltip. Not an actual item that the person found and just can't pick up.

    Also, all the bobo's saying this is fake, go read the Guild Summit notes. Xivkyn is what the the Imperial City Daedric armor style is called.

    I thought there were 2 different things they talked about: a location for crafting a set, and a motif that would only drop there. I could be remembering wrong, though.

    Have people already forgotten you can easily manipulate tooltips displayed item names? My buddy was trolling zone chat months ago with things like glass, ebony and dwemer racial motifs with some simple edits to the pasted item code in word. Don't be so gullible guys and gals.
    You can't change the name or the icon of an item when you link it, only its properties. Plus, you can only link items currently in the game files. Dwemer Motifs could not have possibly been linked months ago, and Glass and Ebony Motifs cannot be linked to this day, because they are not in the game. At least not yet...

    You are simply incorrect, I'll have to see about getting my buddy to do it again so I can post a screenshot.

    The problem is that they don't really wear much. So this style is going to be a cross between daedric and WWF.
    Tenesi Faryon of Telvanni - Dunmer Sorceress who deliberately sought sacrifice into Cold Harbor to rescue her beloved.
    Hisa Ni Caemaire - Altmer Sorceress, member of the Order Draconis and Adept of the House of Dibella.
    Broken Branch Toothmaul - goblin (for my goblin characters, I use either orsimer or bosmer templates) Templar, member of the Order Draconis and persistently unskilled pickpocket
    Mol gro Durga - Orsimer Socerer/Battlemage who died the first time when the Nibenay Valley chapterhouse of the Order Draconis was destroyed, then went back to Cold Harbor to rescue his second/partner who was still captive. He overestimated his resistance to the hopelessness of Oblivion, about to give up, and looked up to see the golden glow of atherius surrounding a beautiful young woman who extended her hand to him and said "I can help you". He carried Fianna Kingsley out of Cold Harbor on his shoulder. He carried Alvard Stower under one arm. He also irritated the Prophet who had intended the portal for only Mol and Lyris.
    ***
    Order Draconis - well c'mon there has to be some explanation for all those dragon tattoos.
    House of Dibella - If you have ever seen or read "Memoirs of a Geisha" that's just the beginning...
    Nibenay Valley Chapterhouse - Where now stands only desolate ground and a dolmen there once was a thriving community supporting one of the major chapterhouses of the Order Draconis

    This is just like the unfounded rumors that the level cap would be raised from VR12 to VR14 just because there are references to it in the game.......

    As a matter of fact, the highest veteran rank potency runes (Kude and Kura) have shown on the tooltip they can be used from rank 10-14 even before VR14 was introduced to the game ;)
    Not sure if it was an addon that showed VR10-VR14 or the game itself, though; I'm so used to certain addons that I don't know anymore how it looks like in "vanilla".

    I think the highest tier potency runes used to show VR10-10 until the rank cap got upped. Not running any mods, anyway. ;)

    Theres is no "Xivkyn" race in TES lore, simple.

    There also is no "Goblin-kin" in TES lore (as called in one of the achievements) only a "Goblin-ken".

    The "kyn" in Xivkyn has the same meaning as the "kin" or the "ken" in the goblin example.
    So Xivkyn is the name for daedra like the Xivilai from TES:Oblivion.

    -Nothing existed in the lore before someone put it there.
    -There are varieties of daedra that we know exist, but have not encountered yet.
    -I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be 'kin of Xivilai'

    Or its just a place holder name till they come up with a better one. This all is just some hearsay ideas around a summit that could of changed.

    There is also no artwork on the items so basically its all concept phase. Eitherway nothing really interesting or concrete.

    Ebony armor is Dunmer armor and Altmer armors are basically glass armors. They aren't made of pure glass, but the Altmer use the glass as an alloy. Because to the time of ESO, vulcano glass was too valueable and rare, to craft armors like in Skyrim.

    Ebony armor is not Dunmer armor, somewhat similar sure but there is actually a set in-game called Ebon Armory that looks nearly identical to Ebony armor from Skyrim, it's an extremely rare and hard to find set though. Here is a link to the set.

    Glass armor is coming to ESO as a motif in the future as well, it was teased as a new armor style all the way back at QuakeCon in July.

    eso-glass-armor.jpg image from Dulfy.net

    I assume you mean Ancient Elf is basically glass armor, which again it is similar but not close enough to call them the same.
