This is the official discussion thread for the web article, "Loremaster's Archive: Archaeology and Races of Tamriel."

Lady Clarisse Laurent, the reknown amateur archeologist, has graciously consented to answer questions about Tamriel's ancient cultures for today's Loremaster's Archive.

How interesting. This hints at the Gold Coast becoming a new zone some time next year, after Abah's Landing and even before Murkmire.

"Travel to the Gold Coast has been difficult recently, thanks to the whims of the so-called Pirate Queen of Anvil, but it's my understanding that, within the next year, it may be possible for us to resume visits to the towns of Anvil and Kvatch. I shall have Stibbons see to the arrangements as soon as it's feasible."

Do we know where Abah's Landing is? Because it occurs to me it might be ON the Gold Coast, and the inclusion of pirates wouldn't be out of line for a Thieves' Guild questline. That would mean:

After visiting the Gold Coast, I hope to continue by sea to Leyawiin, and then journey overland to Murkmire in Black Marsh. Then we shall see what we can find!

Gold Coast -> Thieves' Guild - quarter 1
Leyawiin -> Dark Brotherhood (Bravil--and by extention the Lucky Old Lady--isn't that far from Leyawiin) - quarter 2
Murkmire -> Murkmire :P - quarter 3

Speculation of course, but it would fit in with what we know of Zenimax's projected schedule.

The Gold Coast isn't quite that arid.

Abah's Landing is a part of hammerfell. I don't actually know particularly which part, but I have a gut feeling it's the peninsula on the abecean seaside. I am very interested if this does mean that the order of zone release will follow as: Wrothgar>Abah's Landing> Gold Coast>(possibly black forest, might be less likely)>Murkmire.

Oh my.. awesome loremaster's archive, the amateur historian and TES lore-junkie in me just shed a tear of joy, also loved all the references for future zones
